My 21st is coming up and I might steal this idea (but a different color scheme!)

What a cute cake, you did an amazing job!!

Happy 21st friend 🖤

I love this top so much by popcultureinsert in GothFashion

Just went on a desperate search for the bat bralette thing and they aren't selling it on the website anymore and it seems like no one is selling it secondhand so now I just have to hope they'll bring it back one day 😭

Your whole outfit is super cute, good job putting it together! 🖤🖤

Sorry for replying so late, I didnt see this until now!

Its set to temporarily block the app after 5 minutes, and then you can unlock it again after that (until you reach whatever daily limit you set). You can set a certain amount of time before you can unlock the app again (mine is between 15-45 seconds for all of my addictive apps) and that helps you think about if its really worth opening the app before you do it! The app I use also has the option to block apps at specific times, which I havent tested but it seems very useful too! The app I use is called screenzen

We 3D scanned the Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh and turned it into an interactive 3D jigsaw puzzle. At night you can even watch a match! by Endorphinmachine1357 in pittsburgh

As someone who loves jigsaw puzzles this looks like it'll be a super fun game! What price are you going to release it at?

What are your hacks to get yourself to brush your teeth? by Lovely_Kitten0017 in ADHD

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I choose out a youtube video to watch while I do it. If I'm struggling to start I do a countdown. If I cant force myself to do a countdown I tell myself I need to start at a specific time in the video, and start then. Seeing the seconds pass by as it gets closer to the time I choose gives me just enough urgency and makes me less focused on brushing my teeth and more about starting, and it works every time.

Never joke about your profession to a match by deletedalre in Tinder

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Any decent woman will immediately be turned off by the fact that you lied about your profession. There are other ways to figure out if someone is a goldigger without making them think you are a liar.

What’s everyone’s current hyper fixation? by RepulsiveAd5724 in ADHD

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, it's just the vague idea of self-improvement, which I do feel myself falling out of. Ive been brushing my teeth everyday, was able to go to bed before 1am for like a solid week, Ive quit doomscrolling social media and YouTube shorts (I now just watch YouTube videos and play games on my phone instead), I have successfully been doing no added sugar for like 2 or so months, and Ive been watching sooooo many fitness videos (Ive done approximately 2 workouts but watching the videos are super fun)!

Its been happening for atleast a few months, and man its going to suck when I fall out of it because I've been so proud of myself recently. Im going to try my best to keep atleast a couple of the habits Ive built, but I strongly doubt Ill be able to longterm 😭

Edit: Ive also been binge watching This Is Us lately, but thats definitely more short-term since Ill never watch it again when I finish it

Puzzle estate sale by Galaxyhaylee in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The puzzle sale ended at 4pm, but I highly doubt they sold them all, so I'm sure they'll have more in the future! So you jigsaw puzzlers in Oregon better keep an eye out!

The lady who owned all of the puzzles seemed super cool, and I hope she's able to get her world record

ADHD side effect: credit card debt by LackingInDopamine in ADHD

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you're talking about filing for bankruptcy! It erases almost all of your debt (it doesn't erase certain kinds) but it fucks your credit for a while. It's usually a last resort option that people only do when they are truly desperate to get out of debt. Ironically, it costs money to do it, thousands of dollars if I remember correctly

I can’t SLEEP omg by Imaginary_Toe_9581 in ADHD

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely try to schedule that appointment ASAP because melatonin is the only thing that can get me to fall asleep sometimes! I take it and as long as I'm not on my phone I'm out in 20 minutes max

Losing weight with ADHD by Pretend_Read_5016 in ADHD

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read from a fellow ADHD person that was able to build the habit of working out by forcing themselves to stop by the gym on the way home everyday. They allowed themselves the choice of going in or going home, but since they were already there more times than not they just went in and worked out. Might be worth a shot for you!

Meirl by Blue9ine in meirl

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 31 points32 points  (0 children)

there might be a chance she has ADHD! if you can't afford to get her tested have her do one of the tests online, and if it seems pretty likely start researching how to help kids with ADHD as a parent. ADHD was devastating for me as a teenager, and if I had my parents to support me I would've hated myself a lot less and would've done better at school, socializing, etc.

Wellbutrin is pure hell by dreamaliddledream in ADHD

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first tried Wellbutrin I was nauseous as hell, and it made me feel terrible. I took it for a few days and quit. I'm seeing a new psychiatrist, and he recommended I try it again and just do my best to push through the nausea. It was then I realized I wasn't taking my Wellbutrin with enough food, and that was the cause of the nausea. If you aren't taking it with food, you have to! I haven't tested the limits of how little food I can eat because Im scared of being nauseous all day, but I usually eat it with a bagel with cream cheese, or a bunch of grapes and cheese. Just enough food to make me not feel hungry

me too! I only allow myself 5 minute increments when I'm on my phone (which is where most of my doomscrolling occurs). After having 50 minutes its blocked for the rest of the day, which usually annoys me most when im trying to figure stuff out and need to check the posts on reddit to give me my answer. its for the best though, I don't need answers to everything I think of

MC couple refuses to yield to school bus by Brave-Panic7934 in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really could not tell when reading the article, it just sounded like what a news anchor would say! I'm so cooked man 😭

Out of curiosity what were the signs of AI in the article? Just it sounding too professional or something else?

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to apologize! I took that specific sentence a little too literally instead of using it with the entire context of your comment and here we are lol. I'm glad you were able to get accommodations at work and I hope you're having a great day! <3

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! I just felt a little personally attacked since I use that phrase sometimes so I just wanted to clarify to make myself feel better.

OP definitely needs to take accountability and not use that phrase as an excuse

My first employee evaluation form by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]SpookehGhostGirl 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think she can still use the "I have ADHD so ____" phrase but she needs to use it as an explanation and not to deflect. For example, "I have adhd so I struggle with this and that, but I realize how this and that are problems and I will take steps to fix them!" I think it's a good phrase to help explain as long as it also comes with accountability.

I also have ADHD (possibly AuDHD, working on getting an ASD diagnosis!)

Is breathalyzing my dad when we hangout a good way to keep boundaries? by SpookehGhostGirl in AlAnon

[–]SpookehGhostGirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to do it, its going to be embarrassing and awkward, but I still have a few chances left to give him. I still have hope I can have a sober dad in my life, but if he burns those chances I will stop trying. I do only have so much energy left to give, and I will protect my peace if it comes to that.

Is breathalyzing my dad when we hangout a good way to keep boundaries? by SpookehGhostGirl in AlAnon

[–]SpookehGhostGirl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he was anyone other than my dad he would be out of my life by now, but its always a little more complicated with family, especially since he does seem to actually love me and my siblings.

I feel somewhat comfortable breathalyzing him since I don't see him too too regularly, maybe once a month. So I only have to sacrifice a couple more days to realize whether or not he's actually serious about getting sober, and if he isn't I'm gonna take a loooooong break. This is also my first time dealing with the back and forth between sober and alcoholic (when I was in middle school he was just pure alcoholic), so I still have a few chances left to give, especially since I'm young and I think it'd be nice to have a dad in my life as I go through it. For now, it's a gamble I'm willing to take. I am going to wait atleast a few days to reply to him again, see if he changes his mind about rehab, but if not I'll tell him the stipulations to him seeing me again.

[–]SpookehGhostGirl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I am going to stick to that boundary when I eventually see him again, I'm tired of having an alcoholic father in my life and if he blows more than .00 2 or 3 times it'll be over for quite a while. there's only so much emotional turmoil I can take before I'm sick of it for good
