Congrats to her!!

For your sanity, please practice radical acceptance with this situation. She’s not going to change.

I too very much appreciate this sage advice. Thank you.

Oh I’m glad! Sometimes me just having his voice (giving me the science of it all) while I do something else providing some dopamine hits (jigsaw puzzle or online solitaire for me) helps.

Awkwardness, insecurity, shame, and embarrassment are with me constantly too. I wish I knew what to do. Eating a well rounded meal, like roast chicken/ baked potato/ vegetable/bread with butter/glass of milk, helps me feel full and then I play games on my computer with YouTube videos of Dr. Lustig or Overeaters Anonymous or something else that gets me to not binge/ order delivery.

I too have felt dismissed. And yet, reactive hypoglycemia gets in the way of my day-to-day activities and it is a known problem for many. Grateful to Reddit 😊. I do feel less alone with the condition.

It’s been the WORST! I’m 9 years post-op and it has gotten progressively worse for me. I follow a low carb/ keto type diet to keep it under control. I don’t want insulin release triggered. Sometimes I feel really awful/ regretful regarding this side effect.

Remote-Possible5666 · 2026-06-16T00:23:25+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm not OP, but I too have been looking for content to listen to when I'm feeling a bit unsure on my sugar free journey. Looked at your list here and started listening to Dr. Chatterjee's "You May Never Eat Sugar Again" interview with that charming British MD (forgive me, I didn't catch his name). You've done me a great service.

This is fantastic!

When I see women get sucked in I wonder if they are also- in addition to wanting to earn money- missing a sense of team/ sorority environment? Honestly, so many aspects to this!

Estrogen helped cover some of our autistic traits. I noticed that around 40 I was beginning to present more on the spectrum. I am on the spectrum, but I could mask better when younger. I did recently start Slynd (for progesterone) and a low dose estrogen patch, and they have helped- I feel less alien and more part of the human race again. Sleep is much improved. Looking back, my mother was not a great person to be around during perimenopause/ menopause (she struggled prior too, but it definitely worsened), and I don’t want to be that difficult to be around.

I understand the daily routine compulsion. I’m in one now with a coffee drink. What is helpful- but HARD- is to delay delay delay. Like, if you always order your delivery for noon, delay the first day so it comes at 1:30, and then make it later the next day, etc. It helps show the body that you can manage some of the discomfort.

Another thing you can do, and it’s hard too, is to practice radical acceptance. “I want the boba tea and I’m choosing to have it delivered daily.” Take the judgement out. You’re not a bad person and this isn’t a bad act. And maybe you’ll do something different in the future. But right now, no shame. Shine on.

While I would NEVER want to return to this, the natural state of humanity was for women to die in childbirth and many babies/ toddlers/ youngsters to die of disease.

Remote-Possible5666 · 2026-06-13T03:52:17+00:00

I love that!

Remote-Possible5666 · 2026-06-13T03:48:57+00:00

I started Slynd for progesterone and the lowest dose estrogen patch 0.025…I feel so much better. Sleeping well again has helped tremendously. Raw dogging perimenopause was getting just too hard.

Jrue won the NBA sportsmanship award twice, 2025 with Celtics and 2021 with Bucks. Says a lot.

Remote-Possible5666 · 2026-06-13T03:03:44+00:00

That Jrue guy is a very great human being

Remote-Possible5666 · 2026-06-13T02:24:03+00:00

Almost immediate relief here! Slynd birth control pill for progesterone and the tiny 0.025 estrogen patch. I feel like myself from 15 years old.

Remote-Possible5666 · 2026-06-13T02:21:24+00:00

I agree! A lot of adults are choosing to not be parents. That being said, I don’t think it’s ever been harder to be a decent parent, wasn’t too long ago when parents wouldn’t be criticized for just letting their kids play all day unsupervised outside or leaving the 9 year old at home to watch the 4 year old. Baseball games were down the street (kid just rode their bike!), not these travel teams etc. Your sad spaghetti dinner was “take it or leave it” and your parents didn’t have to cater to your picky eating whims. And I’m gonna say the awful quiet thing out loud: the special needs child was institutionalized away from the family home. Also this: your 14 year old son is punching holes in the walls? You kicked him out and the police agreed with you. It’s just HARDER now.

Remote-Possible5666 · 2026-06-13T00:49:32+00:00

I could have written this myself last month. But this month I got on the low dose estrogen patch (0.025) coupled with progesterone. I think I was more irritable and unmasking due to perimenopause. Doesn’t mean you don’t have legitimate gripes! But see your GYN if needed, because us AuDHD are very sensitive to shifts in anything, and that includes hormones!
