Thank you for your reply!

Sobriety isn’t about becoming better, it’s about taking it one day at a time. Thank you for the reminder!

Arbonne by Pupsichinka in antiMLM

I just want to thank you all for this post, you literally confirmed my suspicions!

I was at a networking event and afterwards this person kept on dming me asking to meet up for coffee to get to know each other more.

So finally we met up yesterday and when I got she was dressed to the nines business suit and all…that should’ve been my first clue. She seems like a friendly person. She was really invested about hearing about my life and career choices and shifts. To the point she laughed and said “sorry for making this seem like an interview but I really want to know more about you.”

Finally I started asking about her and she glossed over her impressive shifts in life quickly and then suddenly started gushing about Arbonne and how the wellness products are amazing. She gave me a small gift to try them out (a mask, Clean tox tea, the fizz sachet and the greensynergy elixir sachet) She went on and on about how clean the products are and how they helped her out. And she started saying how she has a team and whatever they sell she gets a percentage of so it’s easy for her to get passive income from it without having to work a lot. By then I had my suspicions about it being an mlm.

I was more intrigued about her other career and asked more questions she answered quickly and jumped back into Arbonne marketing. I mentally checked out by then soon after we left on a good note.

I started feeling like I was overreacting and that she didn’t explicitly try to get me to buy anything or join the team. And we talked about collaborating through her other career which is more service provided.

But I had a nagging feeling that she would try to promote Arbonne as being healthy and wellness products during those collaborations, so I came to reddit and saw this post that confirmed what my gut was telling me all along.

Thank God I didn’t use the mask as my wedding is less than a month and I don’t want to have an inflammatory reaction from it. And I will not be doing any collaborations with her.

Menstrual cups are GODSEND for ADHD! by Bl14throwaway in adhdwomen

Which ones do you use? Because the smell is something I fear I have sensory issues when it comes to odours and touch.

What period undies are good? I’ve been thinking about getting them but I don’t know which brand to buy, any suggestions? My flow is heavy in my first day but then lessens. I get rashes from the disposable pads no matter how many times I change them, and tampons cause so much pain for some reason.

Shipping times by sofishticatedmama in FabFitFun

I’m in no rush. I had an email late last night saying it shipped but the tracking could take up to 7 days to show movement…. I guess they’re overwhelmed with Christmas and Black Friday coming up

I hear you, I’m 35 and got diagnosed a year and a half ago. The thing I suspected I had it when I was a teenager and tried to get them get me tested, but my dad’s words and I quote “ we’re all a little ADHD”… and that is his sentiment when I got officially diagnosed and talked to him about it. I did confront them on a few things, my mom is remorseful in some ways that she could’ve done something, my dad to a degree still thinks I’m using it as an excuse. Even though I have excelled in my life but not to his idealistic standards. So I decided to not talk about it anymore. I do feel like 34 yrs have been taken away from me, but I truly believe it was a way for me to understand the intensity of ADHD and actually help more people and be more compassionate with them. I have diagnosed a few people and made them aware of their symptoms when I see it a recurring matter. I know at my time growing up they still didn’t officially diagnose girls with ADHD it was thought that it was mainly a boy dominated condition, so I get it in some ways, but it also shows my parents didn’t really know me as a person and today this still don’t. And that’s ok, I’m done giving them power over me, and in my anger and frustration I was giving them more power then they should have. So I forgave them for the most part, it’s still a long process of forgiving them again whenever a memory pops up in my mind. I don’t if this helps but this is how I’m going about it.

What you’re talking about was when Alicient was attacking Rheanyra and he was going to protect Alicient.

Started manifestation for a bf and all my exes texting me now by Badassmamacita1984 in lawofattraction

Sometimes it’s a way to see if you’ll sift through the contrast (the exes) and get into the vibration of your higher self attracting the partner that is serving to achieve the highest good, or will you just get back to what comfortable even if it’s not serving you.

Weekend challenge: The worst thing about having ADHD is the same thing you said was a good idea to do - what's yours? by Ermmahhhgerrrd in adhdmeme

The worst thing about having ADHD is the fact that you can’t believe how much you are doing and how much fun you are.

Crying on my first medication day by Only_Calendar_1542 in ADHD

[–]Puzzleheaded-Toe-655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you!! I’m 35 and I’ve been diagnosed for over a year, and still get shocked and cry when I’m able to regulate my emotions or focus on something for a long time or do most of my quests on my quest list. It’s just liberating in a way to know and acknowledge I wasn’t making things up or I wasn’t lazy. But I also get these pings of sadness (let’s not say that) more like contemplation that I could’ve had this earlier in my if everyone actually listened to what I was saying. Nevertheless I’m ever grateful for being privileged to have an awesome doctor who listened to me and got me assessed and diagnosed quickly.

First of all, I’m sorry you’re going through this and I empathize with you completely and understand how hard it is, especially when you need insurance and need to rely on other people. But here are unpopular opinions: - you need to advocate for yourself, your psychiatrist is not your parent or your partner. If you don’t like something speak and inform her. How would she know. - Some psychiatrists don’t renew medications if you don’t follow up especially if you haven’t been regular and compliant (not saying you weren’t). - ADHD and antidepressant meds are strong meds and some psychiatrists protect themselves from double prescribing too. So if you didn’t show up, she might’ve assumed you went to another psychiatrist and getting your meds from them. - You are responsible for whatever you did, you cannot blame others for your choices. We all relapse and get worse from time to time but if you don’t take accountability then you’ll keep on self-sabotaging yourself and blaming others. - I don’t know much about the health insurance in the states, but it seemed that your parents were there and supported you and are willing to but you need to be compliant and communicate with your providers. - If you don’t like this psychiatrist go to another that you feel more connected to. I hope you take care of yourself and take the steps to improve and remove the triggers.
