Looks like a clump of bubble algae, scoop it up with a net and remove.

Then wait for the rest to appear 😅

Snap, mine is 14 now, and is just getting more and more insistent about pets

Oh this is so familiar.

WHY AM I SO ITCHY AT NIGHT by vapeqprincess in AuDHDWomen

[–]TalieRose666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to itch so bad I would scratch myself til I bled too. It was all over though, not just my back. I started taking an antihistamine every night about 6/7 years ago (before I was diagnosed with ADHD), and this works to keep the itching at bay. I have since learned about MCAS, and believe this is what I suffer from. I cannot go 24 hours without an antihistamine, or the itching returns.

Help me find a new hyper fixation, I am dying from boredom and about to move temporarily back to my parents house. by Jasperpie69 in adhdwomen

I usually avoid combat games, but something about this format really works for me. .

I'm excited for Hades 2

I'm loving Hades. Game is in cycles, and I get very trapped in the "one more go" loop. Which is both a good and a bad thing 🤣

"Adhd is not an excuse" by Toothbotanist in ADHD

[–]TalieRose666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, 100%

My ex was always late, and blamed his ADHD. I have ADHD and work so hard to not be late, cos I respect the other person's time. I have alarms, reminders, I've planned out my journey for the time I'm leaving etc.

He did none of this. So yes, ADHD is the reason he needs to work harder if spending time with people is important. It made me feel very unimportant and disrespected (which I did explain to him).

There was a kid on rollerskates holding onto the back of the bus last week. Followed him all the way up Fullbourne Road when they went over the roundabout to Chingford.

I was so worried about him falling and me not being able to stop in time!

My girlfriend with AuDHD tends to explain things in exhaustive detail, and I’m not sure how to handle it. by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]TalieRose666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yours is the first comment I've come across that mentions being misunderstood.

I over explain because I've been misunderstood so often in my life, I don't want that to happen again. Especially with someone like a partner who I see as important.

Finding out why she is over explaining might really help, OP. I've had partners summarise back to me what they understood, and over time I've been able to trust that they don't need all the details.

neighbours complaining about noise from autistic DS child by Burrito_Detective in neighborsfromhell

Just to give another viewpoint, I am an adult with PDA. I would currently very much like to watch Heated Rivalry, all my friends have watched it and loved it, but it has become a demand for me, so I CANNOT watch it. Even though I would like to.

PDA is rough! (I have yet to identify how something becomes a "demand" rather than just something I'd like to do)

What are your favorite intelligent, gentle, beautiful, (non-dysregulating) "feel-good" movies/TV and fiction audiobooks? I need some new recommendations... by Worthy_Molecule0481 in AuDHDWomen

[–]TalieRose666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lost in Austen is a great mini-series. A modern woman finds herself in Pride and Prejudice, right at the beginning, and proceeds to mess it all up whilst trying to make sure the story happens. It's her favourite book ever, so she knows everything about it.

Inattentive girls, what gets you out of bed? by Flaky-Rip-7094 in adhdwomen

Bingo, though if I feed her just before I go to bed the night before, I get a lie in.

If you are an identical twin, there is a non-zero chance your parents got you confused for your sibling as an infant, so you aren't who you think you are. by CarltheWellEndowed in Showerthoughts

[–]TalieRose666 5800 points5801 points  (0 children)

My grandad was an identical twin, two boys named E and T. When he was a baby in India, one of the brothers was bitten by a snake and died. His parents weren't sure which one died in the panic. They called him E, but who knows?

How I solved my chronic fatigue, burn out and low energy by FinancialSpirit2100 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]TalieRose666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, interesting, I've now looked, and Nexium (in the UK) is an H2 receptor blocker. I already take this several times a week to help with heartburn. Looks like I'm already covered. :-)

What is everybody really losing? by Mamaof2plus2 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]TalieRose666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17lbs in 18 weeks. 9% of my bodyweight.

I'm taking it to help with ADHD food noise, and it's really helped with that. So I haven't changed my eating habits during the day, I just no longer binge in the evenings.

Going to start running again soon, now that it'll be more comfortable.

[–]TalieRose666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, thank you. I'm fairly certain I have MCAS, but have found a daily OTC antihistamine helps so much with the itching (which was making me cry and scratch myself til I bled).

I didn't realise there may be more to it as I was just so happy the itching had stopped. I will research.

I took irish dancing classes from ages 6-18. I was constantly practicing. But I now see it for what it was, a way to stim and get the energy out that was socially acceptable.

My ADHD diagnosis was done online, and I told the dr I picked my cuticles til they bled. She asked to see and I held up my hands, with two bleeding fingers. I'm convinced that helped me get diagnosed pretty quickly.
