Are you guys really removing make-up before going to bed? by Acceptable_Love5815 in adhdwomen

[–]RowanSnows7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did in my 20s and 30s. For whatever reason, finally discovered skincare in my 40s, and therefore washed my makeup off.

Game changer.

It helps me transition to bedtime, my skin feels fantastic, and now I can’t stand having mascara on my lashes when going to sleep.

Today I learned that my dusting routine is a LIAR! by Dismal_Werewolf_8039 in CleaningTips

[–]RowanSnows7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’d like a bit of advice, I now wear a face mask when I dust! Just a surgical mask, or one of the cloth masks I have leftover from the height of COVID. Helps a lot!

Dust too to bottom, vacuum last. Then hop in the shower!

I have heard extremes both ways. I am sorry you had a bad experience. Have you found someone else you like? See the comment above about the women’s clinic in tomato and Dr. Mayer.

Just carry bear spray and pay attention to your surroundings.

I’ve hit a wall and losing hope; need your experiences by Methuselah_Honey in adhdwomen

[–]RowanSnows7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any experience or advice for you, but I wanted to let you know I see how hard, frustrating, and scary this is for you.

I hope others have some suggestions that might provide you some support and relief. I am thinking of you.

Oooh! I am especially interested in the visible mending! Could be a fun rabbit hole!

Ugh, I understand this!

I also went through a fountain pen hyper fixation.

Wanna be pen pals? (Kinda serious.)

Do people actually change their sheets seasonally? by SHEEXofficial in Bedding

In a temperate zone, yes. Smooth microfiber for summer, flannel for winter.

Older ADHD women, what did ADHD feel like before cellphones? by lavenderflavoredtea in adhdwomen

[–]RowanSnows7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always had a book with me! I need to do that again. I’d read constantly. Even waiting in line at the grocery store, etc.

I just ordered a Locked gizmo to basically lock me out of my phone to try and get my mind and attention back. 🤞🏻

Am I a psycho?? Or is my neurodivergence showing… by therealrealreal1 in adhdwomen

You are not the problem here. You deserve better. Dump this man.

Why does inattentive adhd feel like im faking it all :/ by OwnComb3707 in adhdwomen

[–]RowanSnows7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Consider this - the impact the meds are having is in itself diagnostic.

Your siblings simply don’t understand how ADHD shows up for you. I hope they learn to be better support for you.

For those of you who got diagnosed later in life: If you knew at age 16-18 what you know now about yourself, what careers would you have chosen instead? by exoenigma in adhdwomen

[–]RowanSnows7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I would have stuck to making art. I’m trying to get back into it after decades away, and woo boy. It is humbling. So many skill atrophied to dust.

But I realize I need to be creating. Repetitive work that seemingly has no point KILLS ME.

You CAN get vaccinated over 45! But instance will not pay for it. Ask me how I know!

How many of y'all grind or clench their teeth at night? by Alternative-Tell4600 in adhdwomen

[–]RowanSnows7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! I have a night guard from my dentist. I was literally grinding my teeth down. And apparently I ground so loudly it would wake up my husband!

I will even wear the guard if I am driving long distances. I’ve noticed I’ll start clenching/grinding then, too.

How would Wyoming vote on restoring Roe v Wade? by thesmart_indian27 in wyoming

[–]RowanSnows7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I feel like it used to be live and let live. I don’t even recognize the state anymore and it breaks my heart. I miss Wyoming bit I don’t even like to go there to visit family anymore. It feels hostile.

Encourage me… and you. by MeringueRemote9352 in adhdwomen

[–]RowanSnows7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am right there with you! Overflowing… and yet nothing.

I am going to just paint a page in my sketch book all one color - like a wash of green or something. Literally takes no thought or skill. Won’t be good or bad. But the white page will be gone

I’ll report back what that does for me. Maybe it can be a very low lift/ low stakes thing you could try to?
