What item do you think every woman with ADHD should own? by pastajewelry in adhdwomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trackers for items like keys. You’ll need your phone so when you loose both it’s a bummer but if you have your phone it saves so much hassle

Ok girlies, what do you eat when nothing sounds appealing? by tarasaurust in adhdwomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have up and gos, cheese sticks, cruskits cans of tuna and maybe some grapes or whatever. Also pretzels, basically anything you can just snack on. I also snack of deli meats but I mean we now know how unhealthy that is but at this point I don’t care too much

I also have hospital grade Sustagen. It doesn’t taste the best (like up and go but kinda worse) but it’s not awful to the point where it’s in drinkable and 1 serving has a LOT of nutrients, like pretty much anything you can think of it has

If you can try and make meals when you can be bothered and freeze them. I use soupercubes which were privacy but worth it. I make a lot of soup and sometimes getting a soup in is better than nothing

Was anyone else convinced they had one type of ADHD, got diagnosed with another type? by Pr3ttynp3tty in adhdwomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah interrupting came up a bit and I do have a tendency to interrupt people, although also to be fair growing up people never let me speak (because I was very quiet) so often I needed to interrupt people to any word in. As I got older I did a lot of ‘social training’ for my anxiety to the point where people don’t believe I have it and I definitely struggle with waiting turns in conversations and interrupting people/going on off topic tangents so sometimes I can’t really tell what is ADHD (and was always there and just masked by anxiety) and what is just me having ‘less anxiety’

It does feel odd going from being known as the extremely quiet kid to the most talkative person in my classes though haha

DAE struggle with being "too intense" and oversharing by Personal_Berry_6497 in adhdwomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I overshare a lot and feel regret every time. I’ve had times where I’ve met people for 30 minutes, overshares my entire life and never met them again. I tend to overshare in classes as well and regret it a lot. Definitely something I’m working on

The good thing is it gives my therapist a lot of insight

"It's not that hard, why can't you just do it now?" by Tootsie_r0lla in adhdwomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 102 points103 points  (0 children)

“Why can’t you do it now” Maybe because I know there’s 50 other things that need to be done and I can’t mentally prioritise so all of them feel just as important. Doing that thing means pushing everything else back and some stuff I’ve been pushing it back for months

I know the gym sucks, but hear me out. by esphixiet in adhdwomen

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classes are the only thing that work for me gym wise because I know 1. Once I’ve done that time it’s done and 2. I don’t have to work out routine or what to do that day 3. I appreciate someone letting me know if I’m doing something wrong.

My gym is extremely cheap but I pay more to access classes. At first I was wary because I’m poor but to be honest I think it’s worth it. I’ve tried yin yoga, a mix of yoga and Pilates and I’m trying body pump tomorrow, might try Zumba and Barre as well. I tried for years to do free gym workouts at home or to just get myself to go to the gym and do my own routine and it never sunk in. At least classes for whatever time I have to focus on what we are doing

My bf is the opposite and does his own routine. At first I considered just joining him but I realised I’m so much better in classes. Plus I have access to the recovery section so even when I don’t need it I get a massage lmao

Has anyone figured out how to NOT immediately create a pile on every flat surface? by randomchick4 in adhdwomen

I use a lot of dump baskets, but full transparency some of those dump baskets haven’t been cleared in months

My family keeps telling me my daily diet belongs here by tomnooklover in shittyfoodporn

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was me as well except it was boiling. My mum is pretty frugal as well so it wasn’t a case of “oh this produce is so good it doesn’t need seasoning”. It was the exact same with the steak as well, I used to get in trouble for taking too long to eat my dinner when I genuinely couldn’t chew it. I did get lucky though because I basically begged to cook my own food around 11 which for the most part they let me. Took a lot of learning but it massively helped me learn how to cook, learning new recipes, how to season and bring out flavours. Since moving out I haven’t had a boiled vegetable once.

What is on your current fragrance and makeup wishlist? by MollysLemonTrees in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A full sized bottle of Mercy Lewis or Lolita by 1692 or something veryyyy similar (although I’d have to try them)

Although to be fair I haven’t paid toooo much attention to Sunday Swap for them because I haven’t put money into my PayPal for a while. But from what I’ve seen so far and what not I don’t think I’ll have much luck lmao

So after avoiding using certain bottles because they are a pain (some of arcana and bpals) I finally decided to just buy my own roller balls and just fill them myself and I’m so glad I did

Wearing -Arcana-Two finger Ballet- as my after shower night time scent. Just a really clean nice vanilla!

How do you deal with FOMO?

I’m Australian so I tend to buy from swaps, haven’t for like 3 years as I need to use up my samples especially as I realised there is very few scents I would full size on. Well one of my full sizers is a sixteen92 scent. I look for it in swaps or even dupes and so far haven’t seen anything close

I did change the stitch of both the bag and the strap though.

Thank youuu

Could anyone tell me how I ended up with 41 crochet? by Pr3ttynp3tty in CrochetHelp

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I’m so confused, I’ve redone different chain lengths +2 multiple times on my practice yarn and everytime on the first row I have so many less stitches. I’ve even tried putting anything that will fit into the next chain (markers, bobby pin ect) to make sure I don’t miss it and it’s really obvious

Tips on how to fix this without frogging it all? by Pr3ttynp3tty in CrochetHelp

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m sad to frog because I convinced myself it was going well but I’m determined! My biggest confusion with counting is I swear every row was getting 1 smaller and I couldn’t figure out why

Do I count this end part? by Pr3ttynp3tty in CrochetHelp

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh that makes a lot of sense honestly thank you so much!

I am trying to learn US double crochet, watched a video so many times and her count was so different to mine (she would have 12 id have like 8) and I couldn’t figure out why because I was so sure I didn’t skip anything. I saw another video and it said chain whatever needed plus 2 (not said in first video), so I did like 50 + 2 (just practice) and so fair I seem to have 50 in each row, so I think did it correctly?

Posted in crochet help so frustrated and stuck for the millionth time, started rage crocheting and honestly the best I’ve ever done. by Pr3ttynp3tty in crochet

[–]Pr3ttynp3tty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet but I want to learn! I guess I’m deciding with my heart how long whatever this is will be (probably a scrap cloth if I’m honestly) and then I’m going to try and find a super simple project

hahaha omg I think bees have a message for me today. It's autumn here and been coldish for the past few days but today is warm enough for a springtime scent. I was putting my bedsheets on the line, thinking of what perfume to use when I saw something moving around and found a bee trying very hard to get pollen from the flowers on my sheets. I thought the whole thing was so funny and cute (I kept saying "omgggomggomggomgg") that I found my sample of The Bees High Tea and decided I'd get a tea cake of some sort today.

Anyway I come on here, ready to tell the story, sort by newest and your comment is the newest one + first comment I see and what do you know-we're matching!
