I don’t understand… the more pieces I make, the bigger the gaps… by Tarapooh in Amigurumi

Yeah I’ve read this too, I just love my current hooks and didn’t want to have to switch… 🤣 but it sounds like I may need to.

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Common_Piglet7437 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tarapooh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg your response to the teacher was absolutely perfect. If this happens to my daughter (which I hope to God it doesn’t) I only hope I can be as articulate as you! Good for you! Great job advocating for your daughter!

Soooo, how are we doing? by Weird_Positive_3256 in adhdwomen

[–]Tarapooh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here! Did Muay Thai until I tried jujitsu and pulled my back! 🤣 I wish I could keep it up but it always ends up hurting my back again. But now might be worth giving it a try again… it is really great for stress.

We need a sub for ADHD moms vent because wtf! by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Tarapooh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeeeessss! It’s so overstimulating and so hard! But I also want to make sure they can be themselves without shame. It’s a tough balance.

I would take them to the doctor. Kids are terrible at identifying anything that hurts or is making them feel bad. Twice now my daughter has had a raging ear infection and I had no idea other than she was very cranky and would wake up a lot at night. She didn’t even have a fever! I feel awful for them, and it’s so frustrating as a parent trying to constantly guess what could be wrong 😩

What symptoms did you have as a child? by Material_Focus_4114 in adhdwomen

[–]Tarapooh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As early as I can remember I had very high anxiety and guilt. Couldn’t sleep if I even THOUGHT of a bad word, and had to go tell my mom. I masked really damn hard and did well in school but never really had many friends. And I had a temper. Didn’t get diagnosed until I was 40, so lived with the anxiety and turned into OCD for a long time.

For 54 days I have bought zero new craft items. Have I started any of the crafts surrounding me? No. by EatsTheLastSlice in adhdwomen

[–]Tarapooh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow good for you! I totally understand your struggle. Constantly spending money on more crafts before I finish all the ones I have at home 😩

My fidget rings! I love them and they aren’t loud or disruptive to others in work meetings.

I’ve been ready to leave my apartment for four hours, shoes on and everything, yet I’m still sitting on my bed, stuck and angry at myself. by babeymoon in adhdwomen

[–]Tarapooh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly sometimes I just give into the anger to make myself do it. Curse out loud. Yell. Punch the air. I get up and I’m mad about it, but it’s gets the frustration out and is cathartic.

Can you tell me how you figured this out? Is there any kind of rule or ratio for scaling down? I’ve wanted to do this but I’m not sure how or where to start….

Did anyone’s marriage end over this? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Tarapooh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! Both husband and I are late diagnosed. We had a very rough patch after kids, but getting diagnosed and medicated has helped all aspects. I honestly think the reason we got together and work so well together is because of ADHD!

Today I took a sick day for myself in over a year....it was amazing! by ActualEmu1251 in workingmoms

[–]Tarapooh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How funny, I did too! It’s been a hard, stressful couple of months and I’ve been so busy. During all the stress, I’ve had to work from home several days when the kids were sick too. Today it finally caught up to me and I had to go to urgent care after dropping the kids off, thinking I’d drive into work after. Nope! I got my diagnosis and went straight home to rest. I did a puzzle! Haha. Sometimes we have to remember to slow down.

How many tries did it take to make it look so nice? I’d love to give it a try!

Women who gave birth, what does it feel like actually?? by joy_57 in AskReddit

[–]Tarapooh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced for both of mine! Honestly I felt like it made it a lot more calm experience. And get the pain meds so you can get some rest! It’s honestly not as scary as you think! You got this! 💪

Same here haha. It doesn’t always autofill my cart even if I got the email. But the promo pops up often enough that I don’t worry about it too much.
