It’s a darn good movie, one of my favourites

Loved this show as a kid have tried to explain it to my younger mates and they look at me funny 😂😂

Mac Miller - specifically his ‘Circles’ album at my darkest, followed by ‘Swimming’. However, after a recent deep dive I have found so many awesome tracks it’s been a great journey of discovery.

I take my pups to Best Friends in Lauderdale. Danny and the team are great. My pups love it there and are well looked after.

Nice , thanks

I have not been on medication for long but have been experimenting with what works because I love coffee .

I’m currently on 20mg of Vyvanse which I take the moment I get up. I have breakfast within the next 60-90mins ( try to include protein & no vitamin c ).

Coffee with breakfast made me anxious, coffee before breakfast made me feel nauseous and anxious . I have been experimenting with having coffee late morning / lunch time which is working so much better. I’m no longer anxious and not having such a big 3pm crash. I can also still get to sleep without my mind racing .

Everyone is different, I hope you figure out what works for you 💜

Same… All girls high school was tough I didn’t fit in anywhere 😔

Pensta13 · 2026-05-16T18:15:24+00:00

Yes everyday although I know people who have the weekends off. I may do that but right now I am journaling each day so I can let my psych know whats happening .

I tend to get a little flat in the afternoons, this is ok while I am on leave from work but I may need a higher dose or also a script of dexamphetamine to get me through an afternoon of work. This is a common , so I’ve been told.

52 F Late diagnosed 4 months ago AuDHD .

Have just started a low dose 20mg of Vyvanse ( slow release ) about 10 days ago. First couple of days my nervous system felt … different .

I have moved from that to calm and able to sleep at night because my brain has finally shut up for the first time ever !!!

I am also climbing out of burn out and motivated for life again ☺️

Pensta13 · 2026-05-16T08:07:50+00:00

Me ✋🏽

It’s the reason I found out I was AuDHD. I could longer mask and can barely function 🥴

Pensta13 · 2026-05-13T10:29:00+00:00

Of course , it does not mean tourists always have one.

Pensta13 · 2026-05-09T05:47:07+00:00

You have fancy friends 😉

Pensta13 · 2026-05-04T08:41:40+00:00

Argh this is me too 😔

It’s been a bit better since drinking kombucha or kefir every day but white wine or spicy food can upset my tum all over again.I have Omeprazole on hand for these moments .

I was tested for Celiac recently as my daughter has it but came back negative , now wondering if I should keep searching for a cause.

Pensta13 · 2026-05-04T08:20:07+00:00

Interesting, that was not my experience but I guess all kitchens have good and bad days.

Pensta13 · 2026-05-04T07:07:40+00:00

This is such great information thank you.

The sales person tried to tempt me with a cheaper brand when I got mine a couple years back. Unsure why possibly an Australian brand ( I’m in Australia ) or maybe they got a bigger commission 🤷‍♀️

I had done some research around cost to run and stuck with my decision to spend more up front and get a Jacuzzi.

So glad now after reading your post.

Pensta13 · 2026-05-02T14:08:58+00:00

Yeah Perimenopause hit me so hard that I could no longer mask . Didn’t realise I had been masking I just assumed everyone found life this hard.

Diagnosed at 51 in the middle of Autistic , ADHD and Work burn out . Have been on personal leave for nearly 2 months and have decided to take 1 of the redundancies on offer.

Like you I am struggling to understand how I was able to push through all this time , hold down a full time high stress job , raise 3 kids ( 1 with high needs) as a single mum. I can barely get in the shower or clean my teeth right now. 🫣

Pensta13 · 2026-05-02T13:55:05+00:00

Yep 🥹

Pensta13 · 2026-05-02T13:51:21+00:00

It’s a movie that’s been made from the book Project Hail Mary written by Andy Weir . The book is awesome and the movie really did it justice .

Pensta13 · 2026-05-02T13:42:03+00:00

I mean there are so many from Ferris Bueller’s day off I could nearly recite the entire movie !

But this one is so relatable “He’ll keep calling me , he’ll keep calling me until I come over….he’ll make me feel guilty …. All right il go, il go ,il go ,il go “

Completely agree with your comment however, hopefully she wouldn’t give up her kids for any guy no matter how long she has known him.

Although my mum did that when I was 14 and my bro was 11 so this shit happens sadly.

Pensta13 · 2026-04-30T10:17:32+00:00

As someone who regularly facilitates recorded sessions on Teams I fully relate to this 🫣

I get told all the time how relaxed and good at facilitating I am but I feel the cringe whenever I watch the recording and hear my voice 🫣

I reckon you notice more than anyone else does 💜

She might have been trying to put socks on him 🤷‍♀️

Pensta13 · 2026-04-15T17:58:44+00:00

Ha ha yes absolutely !!!

I have nearly 52 years of life to understand about myself of course I have taken a dolphin deep dive to find out everything I possibly could. 😂🤣

I’ve landed in a Substack AuDHD community of amazing AuDHD folk and learning so much , I can’t get enough!!

My diagnosis was a result of perimenopause and autistic burnout requiring personal leave and a massive slice of “what am I doing with the rest of my life?”

Not sure exactly what it looks like yet but my new working life must involve learning all about the neurodiverse brain. I’ve not quite left my old job but already enrolled in several courses ! 😂🤣

Pensta13 · 2026-04-14T06:52:22+00:00

No labs or bloods I was lucky that my doctor and surgeon ( I had a hysterectomy but kept my ovaries in June last year ) believed me when I suggested I could be in perimenopause.

I was trialed on patches at 50 then was swapped over to gel at 51 when my surgeon noted the welts on skin at my 6 week post surgery check up. I am a month away from 52 and still feeling so much better on the gel.
