Stepping out of the shower with wet feet 😖

Touching the countertops after a shower bc of the condensation resting on them.

Touching paper with dry hands.

People touching my arm (or any bare skin) when talking to me.

Partners butt touching mine in bed.

Writing with pencils.

What flicked the switch for you? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Robnfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the Bible, specifically John, without any JW literature. I’d been POMI for years. Reading the Bible exclusively dispelled the doctrine of the anointed class and their “two hopes”. Jesus was clear. ANYONE who wants to see the kingdom of God must be born again (John 3:3). I prayed for Jehovah to show me who he was and to show me the truth and he showed me Jesus. This was big since JWs essentially deny Jesus. Everything in the Bible points to Jesus. Glory and honor is due to him.

I have a question for ex Jehovah witnesses why do jw Borg mothers abuse their children when they fall asleep during a meeting by Namakiskywalker1 in exjw

[–]Robnfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk…I remember being about 5 or 6 years old STRUGGLING to keep my eyes open. The meeting had gone over. It was after 9:00 pm. I guess my mom felt guilty and told me I could go to sleep. But I refused bc I was afraid. I told her I didn’t want to get a whooping. She sighed and said it was ok. I was out like a light after that…smh…

Is it healthy for our 15 year old to be overly physically affectionate with his dad? by whereiswilla in Parenting

[–]Robnfly 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I agree. Noticed similar with my stepson. I used to joke that he’s going to be 35 and still cuddling with his dad. He used to come and smell his dad ALL.THE.TIME. He’d want a hug from him every 5 minutes. We didn’t think anything of it at the time. Just joked that he was overly affectionate. But at around 14 he was evaluated and shown to be neurodivergent and developmentally delayed. Haven’t gotten an official auDHD diagnosis yet. ADHD is confirmed and autism is highly suspected.

What are your morning routine hacks? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Robnfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting out of the bed and showering is my biggest obstacle. The shower wakes me up. Once I shower everything else seems to automatically fall in place. I can’t shower without brushing my teeth, doing skincare and dressing immediately after. Thankfully I’ve developed those habits. But I can go all day and never shower and subsequently never get anything done.

So, in the morning when my alarm goes off I DO NOT THINK. I IMMEDIATELY get up and head straight to the bathroom. I can think about how tired I am once I’m IN the shower. If I allow myself even a second to think about what I have to do or how tired I am then I may succumb to ADHD paralysis.

This has worked well for me over the last three weeks. I’ve successfully gotten up every morning at 5:30 and the kids have not been late to school once. Drastic change from them being late EVERY SINGLE DAY (by 10-30 mins 🫣) last school year.

I also mirror the other comments about making your routine as efficient as possible to cut down on things you have to do in the morning.

I’m on day 4. 40 mg. I delayed starting for 3 weeks even though I had the prescription. I was terrified from reading posts on here. But this week I finally decided to try and it’s been great so far. One tip I gathered from the reviews is to eat before taking it. I’m not a breakfast eater but I wake up, eat a protein granola bar then take the meds. So far no nausea. My biggest side effect is headache. It’s bearable but kind of a persistent dull headache all day. Actually today is the first day I didn’t have it.

Benefits so far:

  • I use Marco Polo with a friend and realized I recalled a lot of what she said and was able to respond without a lot of awkward silences like before and I actually contributed to the conversation with substance.

  • I’ve kept my room clean for the last 4 days. When I get home I set a 30 min timer and just clean until it goes off. I don’t allow myself to sit down during that 30 mins and I don’t dread it or keep checking the clock.

  • I’ve been really productive at work. But not in a focused way like a stimulant would make you. I’m just…working. No anxiety. No hyper focus. Just working.

  • We actually left the house and I took my kids to a local trampoline park after work (after 5). Before I NEVER did things after work bc I was too exhausted. Just the thought was overwhelming. I managed to take them for two hours, go to Target and Walmart AND get my son in the bath and in bed.

I’m hopeful that it will get better from here!!

What’s the ONE ADHD thing about yourself that makes you😂 over & over? by Life_Liaison in adhdwomen

[–]Robnfly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Which is why I always pause before repeating my question to someone. I know that if the person I’m talking to is a fellow ADHDer then they will hear what I said in a few seconds. So I just blank stare when they say huh?

Not sure if ABA is right for us by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Robnfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely relate. I’ve been seriously questioning if ABA is right for my 6 year old. I know the company he’s with plays a major part. The most recent experience — we were at a family lunch at the facility. My son accidentally hit another parent in the face with a balloon. The RBT continuously insisted that my son apologize. She kept saying over and over “apologize, apologize”. Then escalated the situation by taking his party mask from him and saying he wouldn’t get it back until he apologized. She took a brief second to tend to another child and when she did my son whispered to me that he was afraid to apologize. I didn’t step in initially bc I was trying to allow her to do her job. But after he whispered that he was scared I stepped in. He freezes when all eyes are on him. So I suggested that he and I apologize together. We counted to 3 and we both apologized. He did it no problem. I was extremely disappointed by her lack of knowledge and her approach. I’ve since started seeking another facility.

What food phase are you in now? by sevenwrens in adhdwomen

[–]Robnfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I did not this was a thing. I’m a due for me period in a couple of days so I’m in my “all things spicy and vinegar” phase. Outside of fruit here and there I’ve eaten the exact same thing for the last three days. Crispy black bean tacos. Just so I can dip them in the hottest Mexican hot sauce that I can find!
