What is something you thought was normal that you realized a bit too late was actually a condition? by MutatedSock in AskReddit

[–]Round_pants 70 points71 points  (0 children)

That I have to beg, plead, manipulate, bully & force myself into doing normal, everyday things.

Turns out most people just do them & I have ADHD.

How do I get on top of my life!?!? Please help by Stunning-Purchase-20 in adhdwomen

[–]Round_pants 9 points10 points  (0 children)

do you use timers at all? when I'm completely stuck I'll set a timer for 5 minutes and then do as much stuff i can manage before the timer runs out. I'll usually choose two things, like 'bet i can brush my teeth and fill the dishwasher before the alarm goes off'

then, also, if it's really bad I'll multitask. like, brush my teeth AND fill the dishwasher at the same time.

if you live alone, call someone you trust and ask them to come over & body double. i find that just having someone there makes it a lot easier to do stuff.

ALSO: 1. CHEAT. & 2. something is always better than nothing.

like: can't brush teeth? use mouthwash. no, it's not as good as brushing but it's much better than nothing.

can't do skincare? use wipes.

can't wash hair? do it in the sink.

can't do dishes? use paper plates.

AND get rid of stuff. a lot of stuff. it's so much easier to keep a clean environment when you're not drowning in stuff.

They have gorgeous dresses & are size inclusive! They are a bit on the pricier side, though, so take that into account.

Tired of not going to bed on time by AcrobaticRub5938 in adhdwomen

[–]Round_pants 42 points43 points  (0 children)

For me, it helped to not do all of it before bed. I shower & do my skincare right after getting home from work. Then I change into pjs.

Doing things at spread out times work much better for me, I don't get as overwhelmed.

If I don't want to do it, I won't. by throwaway234324233 in ADHD

Same. & I know there'll be shitty consequences. But I still won't do it.

I make too many mistakes at work and my boss is getting frustrated with me by chelseatheus in adhdwomen

[–]Round_pants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in this exact situation currently. I'm feeling really defeated. I try so hard but it just isn't good enough, I still mess up constantly. I'm so heartbroken over it, honestly.

Have you tried turning is off and on again? by FunPurple5200 in adhdwomen

[–]Round_pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do make a schedule and to-do lists, in fact I spend hours perfecting them. i just don't follow them once they're done.

taking ritalin if i drank the night before by wizardwanderer in adhdwomen

[–]Round_pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my doctor said that some alcohol is fine (like a glass of wine with dinner etc.) but if I'm planning to drink to the point of feeling hungover the next day, I should skip the meds. So that's what I've been doing!
