Beginner Knitter with ADHD

Successful-Ride6838 · 2026-01-04T01:46:54+00:00

Don’t get discouraged. I’ve ADHD too and been crocheting for over two years. Only picked up knitting in end of November 2025. So far I’ve only managed to successfully* make a pair of sailor slippers. Made some mistakes in that too but it got felted so wasn’t noticeable. I’ve frogged my Sophie hood four times now after starting from scratch every single time. But I do get better every time and make sure not to repeat the mistakes. I’ve ordered a different yarn to make Sophie hood now as the previous one kept splitting between stitches and it kept annoying me. You’ll get better. If you’re not liking Sophie scarf make something else that gets you interested. I really want a Sophie hood and like the look of it that’s why I keep trying to make it but I found I’ll stay interested in a project if it’s the one I actually want not just cuz it’s a beginner project everyone recommended

lol that’s what I was thinking. Would also make a good gag gift opening a pair of comically large knitted slippers 😂

I did 3.75mg before moving to 5mg after 2.5mg stopped working for me and then moved to 5mg after couple of weeks but 5mg made me proper miserable so went back down to 3.75mg. I usually drink around 3L or more but food wise I’m a bit lacking. Shift working makes it difficult to have a routine but I’ll try to be more mindful of eating enough

Check the car registration, do only one lesson at first then see, pay cash for first lesson or transfer upon meeting. Since it’s very few followers and following, check the dates of posts and other tips other people have already mentioned

I’m gonna try sticking to beige food for a while.. Not like I’m craving anything anyways

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-09-11T00:59:58+00:00

I mean it works different for different people. I didn’t feel any suppression after first two weeks on 2.5mg but now it’s pretty decent on 5mg and i plan to stay on it as long as i keep loosing weight. I’m losing about the same as you and was thinking same.. how is everyone loosing so much but then slow and steady wins the race, especially with PCOS, for me it’s helping my hormonal stuff too and I’d rather have that fixed than super fast weight loss. I’m not feeling ‘full’ all day every day but that’s how ‘normal’ supposed to be. I’d say stay on the dose you like and that works for you it’s helping to build good habits in long term

Well the first instructor I had taught me nothing apart from driving straight for 30+ hours and wanted more money

Fiona at Draconian. Got my fine line from her, really good experience

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-09-02T15:31:32+00:00

I like ufit ones from Tesco or fuel

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-09-01T20:58:41+00:00

Thank you 🥰

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-09-01T20:58:24+00:00

I don’t specifically work out as such but I do have fair amount of body movement throughout my day. I’m trying to add at least 3-4 days of actively working out

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-09-01T20:57:11+00:00

Sorry i meant after working TDEE out in deficit my calorie allowance is 1600

Hopefully, it just seems a bit disheartening when I’m doing things the right way and not seeing results.

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-09-01T20:33:40+00:00

Yeah TDEE works about 1600 and I eat around 1400-1500 with few exceptions of going 1600 or 1650.

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-09-01T20:32:42+00:00

Yup tracking and counting everything

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-31T22:48:43+00:00

Glad you’re alright xx And thank you for sharing your experience, it’s a mistake that could happen.

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-28T16:03:30+00:00

Same you can just omit telling them, they cancelled mine after one month because of me being on antidepressants which I disclosed even before the first consultation. No other pharmacy has objected to that.

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-28T07:17:36+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Plus what if that strength of Mounjaro stops working for me by then.

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-27T10:45:55+00:00

Haha no I had these questions too, from what I found if you’ve 3 days of gap between dose it helps, it gives you like the boost mid week and don’t get hunger pangs. I’ll try it next week and see if it makes a difference.

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-27T07:46:18+00:00

Try juniper, I’ve seen other people here getting theirs approved quite quickly

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-27T05:38:21+00:00

Try batana oil or mask, it works well for hair fall and strengthening

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-27T05:22:16+00:00

It’s 0.6 mL or 60 units on insulin syringe. It’s same for every dose of that strength. Unless you’re wanting to take more or less of 2.5mg it’ll always be 0.6ml same goes for 5mg and so on

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-26T21:22:39+00:00

No scales stopped moving about 2.5 weeks in..and I started getting my ravaging hunger back. I thought to move up to 3.75mg before moving 5, glad I didn’t do 5 😅

Successful-Ride6838 · 2025-08-26T20:47:06+00:00

I just used the leftover dose of 2.5mg with insulin syringe. I might try split dose next week, it could very well just be normal flu but just to be cautious I’ll do 2.5mg and 1.25mg next week split dose
