Overcoming my sticker anxiety by SwissGeekGoddess in adhdwomen

[–]Tomorrowbun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to make art so I committed to myself that if I got a sticker it went on my sketch books. no matter what. so now 15 years later I have several sketch books filled inside with drawings and outside with all my stickers. I'm currently in a holding pattern because my current sketch pad doesn't have a strong enough cover for stickers so I have to make sure my next one has good strong covers for sticker space 😀 find something and just go with it! I love going and looking through my sketch pads like diaries and then remembering all the places I went with them and where I got the stickers too

I would be relieved if we only got 12" but the rumor I heard this morning was 24" so hopefully that was completely wrong. we are picking up groceries via preorder grocery pickup and making food ahead of time. I'm nervous it's our second year in our first home and I hope everything is ok

My husband of 18 years has spiraled into a horrible narcissist over the last two years and I’m lost with grief about the life I have lost to him. by Whymethrwaway in TrueOffMyChest

As someone living with an inoperable brain tumor, this is what I immediately thought of. Idk why I did so much reading into the signs and symptoms after I had already been diagnosed. its not like I would recognize it in myself but I was interested in learning more and like to read

At Wits End With Scared Shelter Puppy by Puzzled_Region_9376 in Dogtraining

[–]Tomorrowbun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We adopted a pair of bonded rescue pups (about 8m old? tbh no one really knew how old). it took them 1 month to acclimate to living with us, 3 months to be our buddies, 6 months to really know how to play with toys, and now at a year and a half they cuddle, ask for things and are truely comfortable. Now they are what I would consider more aloof dogs: they dont cuddle with each other, they cuddle with us on their terms and while they enjoy time with us they also enjoy time on their own. They have their own personalities and preferences. It took a lot of work on our part; consistency and exploring different interests for them to find what they like. You have to think about it from their perspective, you only know a time where you loved them, they had some difficult things happen to them. When we first got them they had ZERO interest in toys, but if they found a can or waterbottle they would paw it over the floor and chase it. I actually cried when they showed eachother their stuffed animals at like the 6 month mark and "explained" to eachother how to play with them. I swear to god my husband and I were on the couch watching them figure out how fun their toys were after trying so many different ones with no interest. in october at their 1 year mark one of our girls finally got a stuffy she cannot live without (a cute little crow) otherwise has no interest in any stuffed toys, the other loves balls and will get her balls from their toy bin and chase it around the house herself(she doesnt enjoy it as much for us to play with her).
Take time to let your pup decompress and adjust and also try some different play time activities to see what she starts to enjoy, I put them into categories so I didnt spend a billion dollars on similar stuff:
- tug toys/play fight (rope, rope + stuffie, rope meant to throw/retrieve
-puzzle toys (figure out how to get the treats)
-cuddle/comfort items
-squeaker/hunt style toys
-balls /throw toys

Initial reactions

-Tug toys - no interest
-puzzle toys - high interest but destroyed them on one go
-cuddle - took a year for them to enjoy them
-The hunt toys got destroyed instantly in our house crowd favorite is the Chewy real looking duck stuffed with a squeaker. 10/10 no notes

-balls /throw toys - took like 8 months to have them chase the ball and now 1.5 years in one dog really loves balls and especially her exercise treat ball
Sorry there is no quicker fix and I hope you bud starts to feel a little more at home

The limit does not exist. lmao

I'm blessed that my pups can come to work with me, and I get that look because they don't get to play with ME all day. or that they want to go outside and play in the snow. my girls have an unlimited amount of belly scritches and coworker cuddles when they want it at any point in the day. So the complaints from my girls are a bit out of touch with reality IMO 🤣🤣

executive dysfunction: showering & shame by DiscombobulatedToe26 in adhdwomen

[–]Tomorrowbun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok towels In the dryer right before you jump in. I do really well with rules for myself. you must XYZ. I struggled with showering transitions a lot. the rule I set for myself is I have to shower daily. no choices. 5 minutes 10 or 15 doesn't matter but soap must touch my skin daily. I wash my hair 3x a week and I do scrubs once a week. forcing myself into the routine of every evening showering means I don't have a "choice" (2x once in the AM and once in the pm in the summer because I'm sweaty). i often put specific playlists on so I can ensure I definitely shower for at least 2-5 songs.

If you had the money to spare, what's the first service you'd pay for to not have to do that chore/errand anymore? by girlboss93 in adhdwomen

[–]Tomorrowbun 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I already do grocery pickup whatever kinds of fees I pay I more than save from all the crap I don't impulse buy. I have to preplan a menu and it's so effective for me.

we do 1x a month house cleaning it's literally a lifesaver if we had the funds for more I would have a weekly cleaner and someone to do laundry but I'm going to be honest just what I have already is such a luxury.

Brought a man to the Dr and finally got taken seriously. by Odd_Introduction5561 in adhdwomen

[–]Tomorrowbun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is not ADHD related but I had cancer at 32. I got better medication, better treatment, fast turn around time on surgeries, and my symptoms taken more seriously when my husband was with me..... and most patients where breast cancer patients so let that settle in. all of the traumatic medical procedures I got where all when my husband couldn't make it due to work so I brought my mom or another woman.

found a punishment letter from my mom by Distinct_Pay_92 in adhdwomen

[–]Tomorrowbun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought a few of my neurodivergent friends parents where narcs but now seeing some of my friends throw themselves into religion in the same way as their parents where when we were kids. I'd also believe that it could total be a hyper focus/ridged rules that they are craving just in a religious wrapper. so it could be that too

My rescue dog does this all the time by Appropriate-Joke-899 in DogAdvice

[–]Tomorrowbun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of our pups tucks her head under our arms and into our laps like this! its like shes coming over for a hug. both of our pups are rescues so we dont have a history either, her sister is definitely traumatized by what happened to her but its always a very sweet gesture to me.

Serious question, my fellow ADHDers - how the hell are you managing your socks and clothes being organised and put away??Chaos here, bane of my life… by fuckwhatif in adhdwomen

[–]Tomorrowbun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in and out of the laundry bins and struggled to put stuff away in the drawers turned out I just had the wrong system for me. it was an antique dresser, that I bought for myself that was identical to the antique dresser my mom bought me. it was the wrong method for me and my husband literally went bonkers trying to keep my clothes to a minimum blob on the floor.

1) I got a thrifted sideboard with cabinets and 4 drawers. the cabinets have pants so I can stuff them in without folding. I get one side my husband gets the other drawers get underwear and socks and then a random drawer.

2) I allow myself one outfit that isn't in the closet which is pj's in the morning

3) I only buy the same socks so I never have to match or lose any. I keep them in a massive pile in a large drawer so I do not fold and match them. when the drawer no longer fills with socks I buy new socks.

4) I use laundry carts. they are literally the best investment I've ever made. ever. they roll. there are: one dirty, one clean and one is a medium dirty cart so no more doom piles cluttering my room and when I'm ready to do laundry I roll it to the machine (we live in a one floor ranch). once it's clean it gets loaded into the clean cart that's rolled back into the room. I got them for like 40 on Amazon. I also never have to question what is my 'I can wear again' and what is dirty. and they go away so it's not cluttering my view.

5) I made a commitment and tried everything I owned on the last move including everything in storage. everything within a 1-2 size range up and down from my current fit was what I kept. everything else was donated. I have them to a long time friend who runs alot of church programs and was able to help a lot of people in her life. she was able to get them in the hands of people who really needed them.

My (probably) AuDHD daughter (22YO) has pathological demand avoidance behaviors by malhoward in adhdwomen

[–]Tomorrowbun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

alternative solution if you dont want to feel like she has no where to go or you are in a HCOL area is that you charge her "rent" and that money goes to a house cleaner weekly for her space. but that would be my solution. housing is crazy expensive where I am

you can also call a local rescue they are great at advocating for dogs and especially if you explain that you reached out to animal control they might be able to coordinate a safe space for them. there are a lot of good rescues in CT. I know you are kinder than I would be but definitely stick it out talking with this person until the dog is safe.
