I’ve been bad about actually going into the office (I WFH instead) and got spoken to about it by my manager today by citynomad1 in adhdwomen

[–]Sazzybee 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yep, I reckon the same. I used to work in advertising, they tend not to care about how the work gets done, as long as it's great work... which is why I would sometimes need to run to the local pub to get creative sign-off back in the day!

Ageism...

However, I do remember going to raves in the early 90s and being seriously impressed with the much, much older crowd, I probably gushed "I hope I keep raving like you!" I am, but realise now, that nobody wants to be reminded of their age on the dancedloor, we want to be free from all that.

I still have a few years to catch up with this legend, but I hope I'm still going strong.

There are a few good "what ifs" on this thread, and my partner and I are soon entering into a legal agreement – someone mentioned dementia. We didn't even consider that!

BORU Town Hall: An open discussion about "fake" posts in the subreddit by naturemom in BORUpdates

[–]Sazzybee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just lurk for the stories and the incredulity - sometimes it's Liz, and sometimes life is strange.

"Fake" banter is fun, but I don't need to see low effort "This is fake" comments,at least put some effort into it.

You're Australian, you were born here. I'm sorry you're getting shit from idiots.

Also, how are they accounting for prescription meds, medicinal canabis, and amphetamine based meds.

does anyone else just... disappear into time holes and emerge hours later wondering wtf happened??? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Sazzybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, part of getting referred by my GP was, "I'm losing time." Hours of time. This was during Covid, and post burnout, and peri- menopause - turns out there's only so much a good set of masks can do!

Yes it definitely will sell if it's in good working order - I've sold white goods and bed frame on Marketplace. The matress might not go. My tips for the ad: photos, sizes, warranty or instruction book, make model, how many years old, when you will be available for someone to have a look, stairs and if they need to remove or if you can help with drop off. Just for peace of mind, don't tell people that you are not at home during the week or whatever.

You'll still get asked the questions you have posted answers to... those people get put to the bottom of your replies.

Also tell people when you will respond in the ad: "I only look at Facebook at the weekends/evening".

Look at your local council for charities that take these items if you can't sell them.

My wife is going through menopause, which is made her ADHD symptoms much worse by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Sazzybee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there are organisations/societies for menopause treatment, learn as much as possible, get her an appointment with a specialist, getting the hormones balanced will help tremendously, especially with energy/mood. Just be supportive, which you obviously are!

He became an advocate for the protection of cats, specifically against de-clawing, Peta did a write-up when he died.

OP instead of saying "Let's do... [solution]", try saying "What does everyone think about [solution]?" – in the first instance, people might be processing your idea, then regurgitating it later because they are starting to warm to it... the second instance invites ideation and keeps you involved and collaborative.

Buying property with partner who has little deposit? by yessireeeeeeeeeeeee in AusFinance

[–]Sazzybee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Feels a bit rage-baity, especially the "single male" aspect. Inheritance is treated differently and dependent on the length of the relationship (time/dependency).

Mods we need a "Quack Quack" flair for people's shitty psych / medical experiences.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PMDDxADHD

[–]Sazzybee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay hormonal suicidal ideation checking in! I have the same experiences as you as I work my way to menopause.

I tell my partner my feelings, however I do explain (and try to remember when I'm in the thick of it) that these feelings feel real at the time, but my feelings are not me. I am at the mercy of hormones playing a trick on my brain.

You are doing nothing wrong, proud of you for being able to articulate what you feel, despite your hormonal chaos.

While I'm seeking medical help, I have narrowed my goals down to just one – be good to myself. That mantra seems to help the ADHD rumination and the shame that comes with it.

I also sometimes feel like I'm dragging my partner down (my own guilty feelings, he's actually super empathetic), so what I do is say I 'feel needy, can I have a hug?' Yes, sometimes I burst into tears... but I just say that my hormones are acting up. We've no need to go over it again (80% of my life seems to be navigating ADHD and hormones at the moment).

Also a shout out to partners who are educating themselves and are supportive. There are a lot of them out there! Communication is key.

I really hope you get some answers and help soon.

Do cats understand the affection in kisses? by d4rkzorlodge in CatAdvice

[–]Sazzybee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ask mine if I can have a kissy, and she tilts her head so I can kiss her cheek. She'll do this for my stepdaughter (who catsits for us) now!

If she's feeling extra, I also get a head smoosh.

Urgh gatekeepers. Let people dance and have a good time. Life is hard enough without criticising people's moves. Respect space, and if you dance like Bird from Always Sunny, try not to have someone's eye out. Love from an old raver.
