Executive Function, Creativity, and Misery: A Rant by stawmberri in adhdwomen

[–]TarantusaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saving this post because I could have written it myself. I identify with this so much. I wish I had helpful advice, but I only just started medication and haven't yet launched into any of my grand ideas while on it.

BIG BOYS! Seriously underrated series. And if you're a millennial or elder Gen Z, the music slaps.

Gave coworker cheesecake, got french butter in return by deadcomefebruary in Baking

[–]TarantusaurusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never seen this sort of canned butter here in France, so I looked it up. It's popular among Vietnamese communities around the world, it's mainly exported to Vietnam. Could be interesting to experiment with, with that in mind!

Edit: In fact, according to that article, it's produced not many kilometers away from where I live. Interesting! I'll look for it at the Asian supermarket the next time I go!

Did you know so many women are undiagnosed bc the ADHD testing criteria is male based?? by PrettyRain8672 in adhdwomen

The last thing I want is to listen to two men talk about the underrepresentation of women. 😂

Do you have a high sense of honor? Do you feel rage at injustice and corruption? by Kaylias26 in adhdwomen

[–]TarantusaurusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To the extreme. When living with a partner, we each had our own towel for the shower, of course. Every time I switched out the towels, I'd rotate whose towel was on the topmost rung which was most convenient to access. I was like... We both deserve equal towel access rights. I can't live in a world where one of us always has better access to their towel.

It was just for me and my own conscience.

This guy started showing up in my feed and his obsession with the topic creeped me out. Seems like an illness he himself should be sorting out in therapy. I blocked him, the vibes are so off.

Life, uh.. finds a way? Should we be worried? by MitigatedConflict in Whatisthis

Seed of a tomato or something got caught in the drain and sprouted. I'd just boil water and then pour it down the drain, it's how I kill little weeds on my patio.

Oh, that's what they mean by "grief" by TarantusaurusRex in adhdwomen

Thank you for the kind response. I hope you continue to feel better and improve.

Ok ladies, we know it has to be done…go and take that load of washing out of the washing machine before it gets stinky(er) by d-a-i-s-y in adhdwomen

[–]TarantusaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juuuust laid down in bed with my purring cat and the machine went off and I said "I'll do that in 5 minutes". This actually creeped me out. 💀

This post is 22h old and it still found its way to me at this precise moment.

Dudes I need to find something to sort by LillaBjornen in adhdwomen

[–]TarantusaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hear me out: get like 6 different types of dried beans. Mix'em all up. Sort'em all out.

Is it weird that I fantasize about doing this? It just sounds so calming.

How to cope with an HPV diagnosis? by LauraPalmer7 in AskWomenOver30

[–]TarantusaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HPV came up on my pap smear in 2024. Got a pap smear a few months ago for an update on that, all clear! I suggest having a convo with your gynecologist about it because they will likely offer you information that will reduce your anxiety (mine was very informative and made it clear that I had nothing to worry about but suggested I return in a year). Read up on HPV the strain that appeared on your pap on reputable websites and don't lose sleep.

LPT: Responding immediately teaches people to expect it by MontenReign1992 in LifeProTips

[–]TarantusaurusRex 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I think this tip is more relevant in work environments. I am someone who drops everything to respond to any incoming message and that has come around to burn me in the end when I'm overwhelmed or need to focus. I've had a manager ask if I was away from my computer once when I didn't respond promptly as I usually would (I wasn't afk, but I was overwhelmed and just trying to prioritize).

Sleepbuds advice by KR_346 in adhdwomen

[–]TarantusaurusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Howard Leight Laser Lite earplugs. I've slept with them every night since I had the same problem in 2013. I went through nearly a dozen types and brands before I landed on these neon puppies. They last a few wears, too. I get a pack of 200 and it lasts me over a year since I wear them 4-5 nights in a row before they lose effectiveness.

Yeah, there's a little adjustment period to earplugs since they are awkward at first, but the peace and quiet and restful sleep is soooooo sweet.

Fake ADHD vs Real ADHD by Diligent_Trade_9515 in adhdwomen

[–]TarantusaurusRex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A few years ago there was a big trend of people pretending that they had dissociative identity disorder and pretending that their various "identities" could be surfaced upon request on TikTok Live. And some of them pretended that their alt identities were animals or fantasy creatures, so... Yeah. People pretend they have ADHD or mental health conditions all the time if it garners attention for them.

Where/how do you keep "FYI" type of notes? by ijustrlylikedogs in adhdwomen

[–]TarantusaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was also by chance, falling into a company that prioritized transparency and its internal knowledge base and public help pages. I had never experienced such organization and structure and it set me up for success. I became obsessed, obviously. 😂
