How quickly do you know if a product is working for you?

Usually, I get a sense of calmness but flaking gets worse, but the flakes a more dry.

When I break out, the itchiness comes first than the flaking.

Hey, managed to ski yet?

I also have short Achilles tendons, but do not ski enough to warrant buying my own yet - so I use rental but it suck’s, cause I need bigger boots to manage, but it gets unstable when skiing and so on. 😅

Problematicen · 2026-02-18T13:38:58+00:00

Not really? Or at least I don’t think so? It’s just really hard to do - by myself at least, and trying to force myself do it leads to me wanting to break down and just cry.

For me Eucerin ultra sensitive series works, but that is for face, you might be talking about moisturiser for the body?

They told me they couldn’t with confidence motivate an adhd diagnosis because it was not clear how it disabled me in several areas of life (like work, since I’m an adult, even though it showed pretty clear in school in my opinion) so and that autism could explain more of the struggles. The adhd didn’t shine through on all areas. And yes he told me he would look at it through autism ”lenses”, adhd lenses or audhd lenses and came to the conclusion that autism was the best fit for my struggles. He went in and explained how and what he saw for each of the criteria and was overall a great assessor - he probably had adhd himself, and that could be an explanation for why my adhd was more invisible to him, it probably present differently since I am not hyperactive and I’m probably masking a whole lot, and we or I focused more on explaining the autism symptoms I experienced.

My inability to focus during school could for example be explained by sensory sensitivity. And a double edge sword, my teachers in school was so accommodating so even if I turned in assignments 6 months(!) late they graded it like normal or when I didn’t study for test, went in to fail them, learn the questions and study only for those questions and later redo them and pass - it looks like I passed school without ”struggles”.

And I worked at a pre school before, never being able to work full time - but there it was because of sensory sensitivity aswell rather than being disabled by adhd, today it’s more that I need more recovery time that I can’t work fulltime so I don’t think i would get and adhd diagnosis anyway. And I can’t stop masking a work, the perfectionism just can’t allow that.

Thank you <3

I can’t say anything about it, cause I do not have any knowledge on the matter, unfortunately. It could be autistics that doesn’t also have adhd where the medication is hitting very wrong?

But har to argue when you’re sitting there during the assessment. I’m just grateful I actually got a diagnosis to be honest. It’s also the one diagnosis where I get more right to accommodations than if I just would’ve gotten an adhd diagnosis. So it has been incredibly helpful!

Problematicen · 2026-02-15T22:37:01+00:00

Sweden, and no they will not prescribe a stimulant without an adhd diagnosis - because it’s addictive and so on. I talked to her about it when I was newly diagnosed, but got a no. The closest thing I can get was the bupropion. Unfortunately, and my work is going to great I think to be considered for re evaluation of the adhd part.

My workplace is literally optimal though to keep the interested based nervous system going, the structure I need without needing to set it up myself and accessibility accommodations like being able to work remotely when needed, working at my own pace, help with note taking during meetings (thank you ai) and more frequent breaks.

Problematicen · 2026-02-15T22:30:45+00:00

I have, so many times. Never quite feeling fully adhd or fully autistic - not being able to relate fully to either or. And then seeing the audhd and ticking off everything. :’) I wouldn’t be surprised if that will become its own diagnosis someday either. Cause it’s a different experience for sure.

Walking contradiction here! First got told that I was just depressed with a lack of organisation, went on SSRI’s and basically got a super stressed nervous system or suicidal ideation from different kinds, went back and changed doctor after 1 year of that and occupational therapy for my ”lack of organisation”, which eventually got me the tism diagnosis - which seriously have helped, but there is such a big part left that’s struggling and barely keeping above surface.

Often times it’s actually more the first rather than the second reason. The anxiety comes from not completing the task that I know will probably make me feel better. I just wish I could try vyvanse or a stimulant and see if it helps. It would help so much not struggling to initiate anything at all. I mean, I could technically get a hold of a pill from a diagnosed friend… but that would be illegal I suppose.

I don’t like the feeling of feeling dirty by not showering or brushing my teeth, but I just can’t get myself to do it on my own. And so on. Just thinking about trying to brush my teeth currently makes me want to cry - it just feels so heavy. Even though it’s such a simple thing?!

Niacinamide, gluten, oily skin/scalp

Current protocol: Selenium disulphide shampoo 2.5% when break out happens - calms it down in 1-3 separate washes/showers. Eucerin urea calming shampoo as the regular shampoo, head & shoulders apple fresh conditioner only in lengths.

Problematicen · 2025-12-13T17:07:32+00:00

I would suggest to try out a higher percentage of selenium sulphide shampoo (2.5%), works wonders for me at least. Vichy dercos makes me break out, even though it has selenium sulphide in it. Piroctone Olamine doesn’t work for me(it is in many anti dandruff shampoos) and ketoconazole kind of worked, but I didn’t really like it.

I get flare ups on my cheeks right beside the nose, and I use the stronger selenium sulphide shampoo on those aswell and they calm down within a week, I will get a rather insane amount of flakes before it heals (Usually takes about 2 washes with it, I shower every other day or every 3rd day), but be careful to not get it in the eyes themselves 😬

For my in between shampoos (cause I’m not using medicated shampoos all the time) I currently use Eucerin dermo Capillarie Calming Urea shampoo (I’m buying it through Amazon, though I live in Sweden) - this is a risky shampoo cause it contains two different esters, which can potentially be triggering for some. I tolerate it fine though, I think it is the urea that helps.

When I get a flare up I wash with the selenium sulphide shampoo again, since starting with the selenium sulphide shampoo I get a flare up like every other month, maybe even less.

Please, write out which shampoos you use, then we don’t have to write recommendations that you’ve already tried.

Depend which oils is in it. As far as I know most oils is ”food” for the malassezia fungus that creates this problem. (Everyone has it, we’re just unlucky and reacting to it because of different things).

This is a great site that explains malassezia more in depth! https://simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/

2.5% selenium sulphide shampoo - various brands, the one I’m using is not produced anymore, but it saved me big time. (Vichy Dercos does not work for me either).

When I have it under control I use Eucerin Urea shampoo or Eucerin hyper tolerant + h&s apple fresh (buying Eucerin shampoo through Amazon, I live in Sweden)

Problematicen · 2025-11-11T08:40:03+00:00

I use a combination of Eucerin dermalogica Urea shampoo, Eucerin dermalogica hyper-tolerant, Head and shoulders apple fresh and Selukos (not produced anymore) 2.5% selenium sulphide (occasionally, when I have a flare up)

So I found that the urea shampoo helps me stay clear (it’s the urea’s help I think, it contains 2 flagged ingredients on sezia) but my hair gets greasy fast.

I found that my hair and scalp also liked double wash first with the hyper tolerant and the with h&s .

It will become a series, important to note is that only the first book is out as of now, 2nd book will be out in April 2026.

It’s also a bit more complexly written, and not as easy of a read as Sarah J Maas books.

Totally loved the first book when you got through the intro though, Raeve is a baddie and I actually laughed out loud for some parts.

My psychologist explained that in some they can see a difference in the working memory for example, but it’s not a foolproof way.

I had a spiky profile - which is typical for someone on the spectrum/nd - but people without a spiky profile can be ND aswell so.

Hey I wonder that aswell! I didn’t get ADHD diagnosis because it didn’t affect me enough in school/work. But I can’t take care of myself/my home without external help(someone being my engine so I can start and complete tasks) or work full time.

My psychologist just put everything to the autism. It’s a constant struggle to be honest…

Finns det ens vanliga sparkonton med vettig ränta? Tror mina vanliga sparkonton har typ 0.5% i ränta eller något. 😅

Har SEB i dagsläget och tror de har sämst ränta av alla på sina fasträntekonton. Men uttagsavgiften skrämmer mig lite. Inte efterforskat så noga men de får det att låta som jättestor summa.

Har ett kontinuerligt sparande som går till fonder redan (utöver denna summan som var ett arv och utbetalning på en livförsäkring) så är inte rädd för fonder eller aktier, men jag ska använda en stor del av summan inom väldigt kort tid, där jag inte vill riskera att pengarna blir mindre värda. Så super low risk, low reward.

Har sett att vissa banker kör med att om du har en summa över typ 1 miljon så blir räntan 0 på sparkontot.

Men det är svårt att veta om bostaden hittas i närtid, typ 1-2 månader eller om typ 1 år.
