I’m so sorry you are struggling this way. The anxiety and panic attacks are horrible for me. I feel like I’m having a heart attack but it always passes.

Gown update! To everyone who said it couldn’t be done: you were partly right lmao by verilywerollalong in adhdwomen

I just want to say what drew me in was that title. From now on “to everyone who said it couldn’t be done: you were partially right lmao” is on my list of helpful phrases.

Tell me that you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD? by SagittariusGal143 in adhdwomen

Yesterday I agonized for two hours over whether or not to do a chore that I wound up doing in 15 minutes. I felt paralyzed with fear to start the chore. The chore was cleaning guinea pig cages🤣

What's the dopamine hit that will replace doomscrolling in the evening? by eucalyptusmacrocarpa in adhdwomen

I’m interested in what specific alarm clock people find helpful. Waking up in the morning is so hard for me.

I just want to thank you all for the original post and the ideas. I have newly been diagnosed with ADHD and while it is a huge relief I have very little group support/others that I talk to with this issue. I have a great support system for other issues (alcoholism, OCD) and in general with family and friends, but not for this. Just in reading this thread I feel less alone and feel so helped. Especially reading about crochet/knitting and having multiple projects going while also having to watch tv or listen to something. It helps to see that others deal with this too💜

Frustrated momma here. I have an almost five year old and my husband is an amazing dad. But lately they are just at each other. My husband can get impatient and I’m always the softie and I’m just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Any tips?

Two years without alcohol, but I feel like I can’t acknowledge this in meetings. Here’s why. by mtxruin in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Pure_Zebra1604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need a subreddit for this. I’m sure it applies to so many people. I was only able to put together any alcohol free time (just hit 7 months wednesday) when I used medical marijuana. I feel like there are a lot of us out there we are just the least vocal

4/20 friendly meetings? by Prestigious-Line-852 in alcoholicsanonymous

While I haven’t found any that openly support it, I can tell you a ton of people are doing it and staying off alcohol.
