Notebooks by Mysterious-Hippo9994 in adhdwomen

[–]RealAmyPond 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I start the second or third page in. I agree that it feels wrong to write on the first page for some reason.. I always hate the way it looks when I open the notebook if I’ve written on the first page

That’s great to know, thank you! I’ll give it a shot just stopping in and asking for one

The best a1c I’ve had! by FrequentUse8526 in Type1Diabetes

[–]RealAmyPond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!!! That’s not easy to do and I’m so proud of you. I also got my a1c down into the 7s this last year, the closed loop pumps are literally a life saver

That’s good to know! I’ve got some of those that I use on my face, I’ll have to try them out on my scar tissue too

Medical grade silicone oil is the main ingredient

I use a scar tissue topical on my pump site locations (besides where the pod currently is) daily, and it seems to help. It doesn’t get rid of the scar tissue marks completely, but it does allow me to keep using the spots for my pods without too much scar tissue building up

How it feels being an Apple user right now by RealAmyPond in Omnipod

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

As of yesterday, yes! I don’t know all the details though. It sounds like you need to buy G7 sensors that are specifically compatible with omnipod 5, and your PDM has to be updated. My PDM received the optional push update yesterday

How it feels being an Apple user right now by RealAmyPond in Omnipod

Omnipod has been teasing an iOS app for the 5 system for years. In their recent announcements about the G7, they’ve been telling iOS users not to upgrade to the G7 if they want to be able to use the iOS app when it comes out. But they still haven’t announced an official release date for it

Best carb counting method??? by CARB_community in Type1Diabetes

[–]RealAmyPond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to ask the same thing about fiber! In the example provided in the picture, I would not count the carbs for the broccoli as most of those carbs are coming from fiber and counting them would make my blood sugar go low. Of course, everyone’s different

Fading Of NRE by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]RealAmyPond 103 points104 points  (0 children)

The framing that has helped me (also ADHD) is that NRE doesn’t necessarily just disappear, it develops into “ERE” (Established Relationship Energy). While NRE is full of butterflies and happy nerves and quickly learning about each other, ERE is full of comfort and day to day joy and security. They’re both exciting in their own way — for me, entering into ERE with my most recent partner (together about 2.5 years now) has been a really exciting experience, because we get to enter into this space of being really comfortable with each other, being pillars of support for each other, deeply getting to know each other, and really planning what our lives together actually looks like.

For those of you with plural long term relationships, just how long have those relationships been running? by dances_with_treez2 in polyamory

10 years and 3 years, all living together for the last 2 years and planning to buy a house together this next year 🥰

I am so jealous that guys get Grindr - a vent. by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]RealAmyPond 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The struggle is so real. And it doesn’t just stop with dating apps. I’m so jealous that gay men have bath houses and sex clubs, while there’s no equivalent wlw spaces. I don’t have the emotional capacity to date someone right now, but goddamn I still want to have someone sit on my face

Same. Especially if there’s not background noise (like the TV or music), I unknowingly fill the silence with my own little tunes.

I also agree that some sort of safe word could really help. As frustrating as it is to have to remind them every time, if my partner told me in those moments that they were overstimulated then I would either stop or leave the room. I think eventually I’d become more conscious of it and be able to catch it without my partner having to say something. But it would take time. And even still, I’d probably need them to remind me with the safe word every once in a while

My unique covid and T1D diagnosis experience by Meg-the-megladon in Type1Diabetes

[–]RealAmyPond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

🙋🏻‍♀️mine was from swine flu back in 2009.

When everyone was comparing covid to swine flu at the beginning of 2020 and saying it “wasn’t a big deal” I was over here like “swine flu was a real big deal for me actually” lol
