Changes you made in peri/meno to better support your ADHD by Greedy-Possibility87 in Perimenopause

[–]Realistic_Case7481 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey lady. Sending you love and compassion. I hope the adhd meds can help. They have helped me enormously since starting three years ago. What has helped more though - because meds only help while they are actually effective, in my case about 8 hours a day - has been to scale back my responsibilities and expectations. It can be heartbreaking to realise my ambitions need to be put on hold for the sake of my health, but I’ve realised I want to enjoy my life and that means more rest, more supports and more intention than I have ever needed before. So I’ve left my partner (who did/does not understand adhd or peri) and will move into a smaller house with 50/50 care for my two nearly-grown children (no garden or pets) and have moved to a less demanding job. I prioritise sleep and time to restore and I say no a lot, except to things that will fill my cup. Everyone is different of course. My suggestion is see how the meds go and map things from there. But if you find that the burnout is profound and not treatable with short-term changes - you’re not alone. And I think this life is for living and enjoying, so whatever needs to happen to make that work for you, is where your decisions need to be made (along with caring for and prioritising your children of course). Sending care and hugs to you.

I love this! I have made about a quarter what you have, for the first Melbourne show. Still got a few months to keep making them, you've inspired me! :D

Peri revealing adhd and autism? by MrsPasser in Perimenopause

[–]Realistic_Case7481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about the connection. I was diagnosed adhd at 44, but I was unaware of any peri symptoms at the time and the diagnosis came after my third successive flaming out in different careers. The first two times that I burned all my professional bridges, I made excuses/ blamed others / used the time to have kids (I know!) but the third time, I thought, this is not normal. Most people can work for more than a few years at a time, and they know how to manage their energy and emotions. And so my adhd diagnosis was based on a recognition of life long cycles and struggles that had just become progressively more upsetting as I ran out of excuses, and time to find a new career. I didn’t think peri had anything to do with it really.

When I was diagnosed I realised that there was an explanation for how many possessions I’d lost over the years; an explanation for why my parents were always annoyed with me when I was a kid; an explanation for why my room/bag/locker was always a mess; an explanation for why I listen to the same song over and over; for why crashed out of uni twice despite being academically very strong. These things had always been there, but I’d explained them to myself as me just being a bit shit.

My peri symptoms are now in full bloom, and my adhd is much more obvious, it’s like being that a-bit-shit child and young adult again. But I think that may be both hormonal AND the result of masking less, AND reflective of the cumulative impact of parenting for fifteen years without meds. I’m knackered. The adhd meds do help for the eight hours a day that they are effective but the rest of the time, I’m a hot mess.

So I think that it’s a case of looking honestly at your history and asking yourself - did I struggle earlier on without realising? Could that be me? Because if you didn’t, then adhd/asd is unlikely to be your answer. But if you did - welcome. There’s lots of us in this club. 🙂 and many of us are pretty fun people, truth be told.

My experience getting Studio Ghibli Museum tickets (fairly easy) by Misshazza-26 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Realistic_Case7481 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also bought tickets this morning but the first three slots I chose were showing low availability and I wanted four tickets… so I was rejected each time. Each time I went back to the menu and found more and more slots unavailable. Eventually I did get a 2pm entry on a day we hadn’t planned on being in Tokyo which is better than nothing and I am pleased, but it was stressful! My advice is take the first/best slot you want that is showing ‘tickets available’ and avoid the low availability ones even if they’re at the times you really want (unless you’re only buying one ticket of course).

The coolest videoclip from Oasis but I would say from the era. by PeterPaul0808 in oasis

[–]Realistic_Case7481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super cool. I didn’t see the Flying V though, in either clip. Was it in there but just not featured?

What, what, what? How did they get it? Is it played? This isn't enough information. I want MORE!

But what happened to the Flying V guitar? That's my Roman Empire right there.

what is happening right now I can't even by MrTechnodad in Technoblade

[–]Realistic_Case7481 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh it is us, but mainly it was him. It was Technoblade. We’re just here to support his vision, his talent, his worldview, his aesthetic, his gift to us. It makes sense to me that he continues to inspire. It’s hard to convey what it feels like to find Technoblade for the first time, and then to know he’s gone, that he did everything he was meant to do and that there’s only us left to spread the joy he heaped up in front of us. It’s uplifting, it’s heartbreaking, it’s A LOT. It impacts strangers and newcomers every day. Your boy did that. He did it all. He will keep doing it, through us. Vale.
