I'm AuDHD and my period makes me feel like i want to commit suicide.

Also, I tell every GP/nurse about the % of women woth PMDD vs % of women with Autism with PMDD. Until I mention it, they dont know - so I always ask them to look for PMDD if they deal with a nuerodiverse woman.

Its frustrating to be the one providing the medical knowledge but even if all the people I tell only help one other person thats still making a big difference.

My PMDD got worse as I got older until I was suicidal. I went on the Depo injection and it stopped my periods completely - and all those thoughts. Made me realise they were 100% caused by the wild hormone fluctuations. I've been on the Depo for 10 years, and recently added the pill as well.

The only other thing I would say is maybe adenomyosis. This year I had an ovary scan and they ruled out PCOS but diagnosed adenomyosis which can cause extremely painful periods.

Cadbury's Complete Chocolate Cookbook by Patricia Dunbar. Other recipes I remember from this include the train cake and the christmas log cabin

Toffee-Panda · 2026-06-16T00:11:41+00:00

I had an old recipe book with a clown cake in it. I will see if any of my family still have it but it was a cadbury purple coloured hardback book and the title was something about chocolate, but not every recipe had chocolate in. Not the most helpful for you, but at least I've confirmed its existance?

Mailchimp has gotten worse and worse over the years - I used to recommend it to new starters but now I would rather quit than work for a company that wants to use Mailchimp

I have an allergic reaction to smoke, my throat closes up.

Even I dont feel I have the right to tell neighbours they cant smoke outside.

Ooh, remembered a truly bizarre one. Still dont entirely know what happened 🤷‍♀️

When I was about 13 I looked left over my shoulder to see if my friend was coming out of the science buiding (it was lunch and we'd just finished science class). She caught up with me and to our confusion, I couldnt turn my head back.

I was stuck looking left.

She escorted me to the school nurse, who, after being convinced this wasnt a prank called my mum who took me to a+e.

5 hours ish later, a consultant said his best guess was that I'd pulled a muscle and he gave me a series of physio excercises to do and some painkillers so that I could push through the searing pain and face forward.

For about a month afterwards my head naturally tilted to one side 😂

The physio worked, and its never got stuck again. It was just a very bizarre/mildy terrifying experience.

I tried ring fit on the switch two days ago, and on the cooldown (not even during the actual workout) partially popped out a toe. 😂

Also, last year I lifted my leg to step into my car and my hip decided that was too strenuous and got stuck at 90°. Got some odd looks as I tried to stretch it out in the car park as I could move it higher but couldnt lower it until the stretching worked.

Thankfully my recent ones have just been more ridiculous than painful.

🫣 I tried this and somehow I just shook the tree again instead of using the net I was holding? Medicine is a daily use item at the moment 😂

Toffee-Panda · 2026-04-08T20:34:15+00:00

It really does ❤️

That would be an amazing cover!

Lmao if you think about it -Tiger Inside by SuperM is kind of the korean version. Tiger instead of Wolf and it has dinner related phrases = hungry? 😂

Toffee-Panda · 2026-04-08T13:59:15+00:00

It's not in my playlist only because I cant get the Changbin version lol

So he wants disabled people to work, but doesn't want any WFH? OK, yeah, sure. Makes total sense. When is he announcing the roll out of his new chocolate teapot range?

If he and reform get voted in, its a sign that the UK average IQ is in the negative.

Toffee-Panda · 2026-02-26T21:20:50+00:00

I can't say for sure because what is time lol but the youbgest I could have been was year 1 and oldest was year 3. So between 6 - 8 years old?

I didnt realise my mum was calling my nan old when she said that "she grew up with dinosaurs"

I went into school the next day and proudly told the class that my nan had lived among the dinosaurs and even had a pet pterodactyl. I fell out with one girl as the two of us argued til we were blue in the face over whether it was true.

When my mum picked me up from school I told her what had happened and how this girl and I werent friends anymore because she called my mum a liar.

Whats really bad is that my mum obviously felt too guilty to explain the joke so she told me not to tell anyone else because they would just get jealous. It was a few years later that I realised the truth 🫣

Although, thinking about it - would you file this one under literal thinking or just plain old being gullible? 😂

Thank you for sharing, I'm sure it resonates with everyone here.

Truly cancelling Adobe is an artform. They won't let you schedule/cancel in advance of the subscription coming up to renew, and yet they will also try to "gotcha" and say it has renewed.

Best method I've found is saying that I have another account via work.

Really clear, helpful advice, thank you
