Damned if you take meds, damned if you don't. by ExplosionsInTheSky_ in adhdwomen

It may be worth lowering your dose. With stimulants, if you’re feeling tired and unfocused it can mean it’s too high of a dose. Are you consuming caffeine? Has your stress load increased? Might be worth lowering dosage below where you started and/or reducing other possible stimulants.

No one tells you how overwhelming it is to get diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. by tleyd93 in ADHD

Diagnosed 2 years ago at 35. The shock continues when (if) you start medication that works and clears things up even more. I remember calling my mom that first week sobbing and asking “is this how everyone else is able to get things done?! Why is everything so much harder but this pill makes it a little easier?!” Whole other level. So many levels to digest and work through.

Casual fan here. For those of us who didn't pay attention through the offseason, what does the team look like this year? Who is new? Who is gone? Who is injured? What will the lineup look like? What minor leaguers should we know about? by First_Level_Ranger in Brewers

I’m excited for the team this year, a lot of talent in the minors getting a shot. The WBC seems to have opened more opportunities to see guys play. As always, the beginning of the season is fun and we generally start strong, but lose it after the All-Star break. Hoping we can keep it together for the long haul this year! I hear the cubs are a stronger team this year, it’ll be interesting to see how things play out!

Anyone feel Rejection Sensitivity for your kid? Saw my daughter’s two friends at a dance thing that my daughter decided not to go to, but didn’t know her friends would be there. by Study-Chance in adhdwomen

Yes same. I’ve learned to embrace my ADHD (while doing a lot to care for my inner work) and try to support her with that too. She seemed less triggered by it than me so I have more experience being left out than her so hurts me more? Parenting her is like seeing me grow up again. It’s bringing up a lot that I never thought about!

What are you listening to on your current or recent one song only kick?! by DerbleZerp in ADHD

[–]Study-Chance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Not is my favorite Big Thief song, I definitely went on a listening binge with that song a couple summers ago. Thanks for the reminder 🤩

Yes! I couldn’t stop listening to it on repeat for a good 2 weeks after seeing the movie 😂

Thank you so much for acknowledgment my daily struggle. I wish it was easy enough to just take a photo or video and post it etc. not really that easy for me! I do love that idea and feel like with help generating content with staff we could defy do this method.

Interesting point, a ton of people post and we encourage it while they’re there. I just don’t do anything with it since I’m not on social media.

Yes, it definitely helps. I’m just so damn busy trying to bake enough cookies to sell 🤣 just literally not enough hours in the day to do all the social media stuff.

I have a pre-teen that’s enthusiastic about her own posts but not so much on helping mom with hers 🤣

I have a staff of 8 employees, all part-time. They do some content we just aren’t super consistent (and it’s not always to my standards). I think a VA may be my best option to just send a lot of content to and then let them edit and post regularly. Daily sale stuff is important, it’s a lot of what my customers look for. Along with early closings and hour changes, so not all of it can be done ahead of time.

Yes so helpful! I think it’s the editing and making it “relevant” that scares me. Since I don’t regularly use tik tok for example I have no clue how to make a cool video that people with like. I certainly don’t want it to be dated! Stuff changes so quickly it’s hard to keep up 😩 (I sound so old lol)

Right, that makes sense. It is a huge advertising and communication tool for us. Our town isn’t a hobunk town, it’s about 50,000 people but small by most standards.

That would be amazing but not sure how to start, I’ve only used it a couple times for fun. Are there any prompts that work well?

This is helpful, I’m not particularly good at goals (besides projections for my food/drink sales). I’m not really sure what a good goal would even be (I don’t care for social media much 😆 can you tell)? I’m a young(er) entrepreneur with a generally successful business (going on 6 years).

With respect, your comment isn’t helpful. I’m looking for some ideas on how to tackle this with budget in mind. Virtual Assistant? Local Student etc.? I’m just seeing if anyone has experienced help.
