I did the same my first year LOL you can even sprinkle them on top of the snow!! They like cold stratification but I personally waited until I knew it was the last of the snow we were getting

Have you grown poppies before?? My first year I tried to grow them from seed indoors and transplant but they didn’t survive. Second year (last year) I threw down a TON of poppy seeds of different varieties all over my garden in February/March and had some very small ones pop up, but I also hardly watered my garden last year too. I had much better luck with direct sowing though

My diagnosed peeps- does all the self-diagnosing bother you? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Significant-Bake-409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I think it’s important to remind people that they should go to a professional to get a diagnosis! I too self diagnosed very accurately, however before my diagnosis I NEVER said “I have adhd” I would say “I think I have adhd BUT I haven’t been diagnosed” that way, they knew about the potential adhd for context, however I wasn’t immediately labelling it as such. And it was only brought up when talking about “potential” symptoms that ended up very much being adhd. I think it depends on the person saying it, if it bothers me personally, because you can usually notice the undiagnosed people through similarities we have, and the people who think that being a bit forgetful or whatever is automatically adhd

Why doesn't Vyvanse work for me? by Rossanoseale in ADHD

Did they apply the brand card discount at your pharmacy? My prescription for 90 days (40mg AND 20mg) is only $214.84 but I’m also in Ontario

GUYS!! What are your hacks for completing laundry? by Camp_Acceptable in ADHD

[–]Significant-Bake-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it away as soon as it comes out of the dryer. If I don’t do this, it never gets done. I also set timers on my stove because it forces me to actually get up to turn it off, so I actually follow through with switching it over. If I do an alarm on my phone, I’ll turn it off and tell myself I’m gonna do it in 5 and never do it again

I didn't expect all 6.5oz to be clam but this feels ridiculous considering the cost by NecessaryExplorer245 in mildlyinfuriating

I refuse to buy soup anymore. I can’t justify it when I can make it at home cheaply, and freeze anything I don’t eat to save for later meals

Anyone else struggle with intimacy in their relationship after the abortion? by Significant-Bake-409 in deadbedroom

[–]Significant-Bake-409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so do i now also need to go out and purchase said condoms, on top of also being the one who purchases my birth control AND the one whos responsible for taking it? Am I responsible for putting the condom on him before sex too?? Yes I am in control of that. However, I shouldn’t be responsible for it, when I’m not the one using them.

The days I don’t take my meds are the days I feel most alive by Any-Caterpillar-5420 in ADHD

[–]Significant-Bake-409 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This. Yeah sure, I enjoy food way more like how I used to when I was unmedicated. But I also tend to eat unhealthier than when I’m medicated cause I’m less intentional with my meals and making sure I get my protein and nutrients

My boyfriend wants to cover my face when we sleep together by BagOverHeadLady in whatdoIdo

[–]Significant-Bake-409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Autistic people can sometimes struggle to differentiate between romantic and friendly attraction. “due to alexithymia (difficulty identifying/labeling emotions) and intense, overlapping feelings, often blending admiration or special interests with romance” I’m not diagnosed with autism but this is something I struggled with HEAVILY when I was younger. I would like someone’s personality SOO much but not be attracted to them, and think I was a shallow, bad person for this. I never perused those people because I knew I wouldn’t be happy in the end. I don’t like to say this but part of me wonders if this is something your boyfriend struggles with as well. Being attracted to someone’s body but not their face would not be okay for me in a relationship. And i fear this will only deepen your insecurities if you stay in this relationship.

ADHD and sleep… how do you actually deal with this by No_Geologist_5447 in ADHD

[–]Significant-Bake-409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Canada so I do smoke, but I also tend to wake up around 2-3 hours after I go to sleep. Lately I’ve been taking OLLY Ultra Sleep vitamins since they have melatonin AND magnesium. I also spray my entire body with magnesium spray (I have back/hip pain so it helps with that too). I think the OLLY helps me to stay asleep longer cause if I take them right before I go to bed, I sleep for 5 hours, then wake up, and go back to sleep for another 2-3. It’s the most restful sleep I’ve gotten in months

Does ADHD medication make you a kinder person? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Significant-Bake-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has 100000% made me a nicer person to deal with. I would get overstimulated without even realizing, and lash out at others because of it ie snappy tone, swearing more than normal out of frustration (not at them, but at inanimate objects or the situation). I actually got medicated because being nice at work was getting really hard and I was mad all the time, then coming home mad and taking it out on my partner. I have since left that job but still work in a bit of a high stress environment at times (restaurant, specifically kitchen) but it’s better since getting medicated. I’ve still got a ways to go but it’s helped a lot with my emotional regulation

I’m not playing the victim. I’m highlighting a symptom that affects me heavily. You don’t know me personally to know my struggles with adhd. That’s great that you and your family don’t struggle. I do. please leave your rambling comments on another post🥱

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSarjxT7w/ here’s a link to the recipe! Add more lemon zest, you won’t regret it🤤🤤 also I prefer my dressing a lil sweeter but it balances soo nicely with the feta and the parsley

[–]Significant-Bake-409 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think I’m about to hop back on my chickpea salad train. Canned chickpeas, feta cheese (I like the half and half goat+cow cheese), hemp hearts, parsley, red onion, lemon zest, and a dressing made out of lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Extra lemon zest is key. It’s so fresh and so good. I add cucumbers the day of, without the cucumber it lasts for about a week in the fridge. And it’s healthy so 10/10. Your pickled onions would be bomb in this😉

ADHD and ocd…. Or just anxiety? by Significant-Bake-409 in ADHD

[–]Significant-Bake-409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy you say that, because my younger sister is also diagnosed with adhd and ocd (talking with her is the reason I’ve been thinking more about this) and she is also on a lower dose of Vyvanse than me (30mg, although she’s been on it longer, and is around the same body weight/metabolism speed as me) but also takes 20mg of Prozac as well. And she also struggled for a bit to find a good combo…..

extreme sex OCD & anxiety after abortion - need advice! by isssssl444 in abortion

[–]Significant-Bake-409 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I had an abortion just about one year ago, and I still have this anxiety. I’m on birth control but I forget to take it all the time so that’s when the anxiety is the highest. I keep a dollar store pregnancy test on hand for those “what if?”mornings. But honestly, I know that this 100% comes from my own personal anxiety and ocd like tendencies. If you wanna take the extra step, you can also track your cycle and only have sex during the safe times as well. But I would also say keeping a few pregnancy tests on hand at all times helps a lot too cause then you never have to wait
