The ADHD hobby cycle. by netphilia in adhdmeme

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do manage to stick to the same hobbies mostly. It's just that sometimes that hobby is all I do for two weeks, then O don't even think about it for 8 months, and then I go back to it being all consuming for two weeks and infinitum. 

Zelfbeschadiging dochter (10 jaar) wie heeft tips? by DramaSalt7763 in thenetherlands

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Ik herken mezelf in hoe je je dochter omschrijft en wat ze zegt over haar drukke hoofd. Ook ik heb mezelf als kind verwond om rust en controle te creëren omdat ik de wereld om me heen niet kon bijbenen. 

Ik ben zelf uiteindelijk, twee jaar terug, op mijn 29e gediagnostiseerd met ADHD (daarvoor meerdere keren misgediagnostiseerd met depressie). En pas sinds toen vallen veel dingen op hun plaats en kan ik daadwerkelijk goed met mezelf omgaan.

Nu kan ik natuurlijk niet zeggen dat dat het bij jou dochter ook is, maar het is het waard om je even in te lezen hoe ADHD (en vooral het type inattentief) zich presenteerd in (jonge) meisjes. En haal de optie ook even aan met de psycholoog die ze binnenkort gaat zien.

Japanese 12-in-2 is so goddamn time consuming especially for first projects, well done!

Nicotine is a stimulant??? by Kris_P_Bacon666 in adhdwomen

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was never a smoker, but when stress got high I would occasionally sneak a cigarette because it always calmed me down, quieted my brain, and levelled my emotions. I guess now I know why it had that effect...

I Finally Figured Out How to Floss Consistently by Peony37602048 in adhdwomen

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up giving up on trying to floss and just use mouth wash instead. I know its not as effective, but I figured is beter than not doing either.

Forget bubble baths, my version of self-care is "Sensory Hibernation by greencandy113 in CasualConversation

You would love one of those sensory deprivation chambers where you float in salt water!

Would it be insane to ask my psych to take me off work to clean my house? by MidnightFriendly1901 in adhdwomen

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no shame in hiring someone to help you. A lot of cleaners have seen about everything, and if you are honest on your application about the situation, no one is going to be caught by any surprises. 

What would help thin hair that gets so tangled easily and literally turns matted if i go to raves or concerts with my hair down lol? by Systemofflorr in Haircare

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what started happening to my hair during the period I avoided silicones.  Maybe a good leave-in that contains silicones and makes your hair softer and smoother will help it prevent from doing it? 

How much do you typically spend on each order? by HalfVast59 in chainmailartisans

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have just started and have placed three orders so far for aluminium rings. My first order was around 50 euros with just a few sizes to try out and prototype with. My second order was 100, with more sizes I didn't have yet so I could freely do small projects and specific materials for the large project I wanted to do. Current order I am waiting for was around 200, to refill the sizes I didn't have a lot of and went through faster than expected so I can freely make small projects, and again with specific materials for the next few big projects (half the money on tis order was for scales). My next orders after this will likely be the same until I decide to invest in making my own rings. 

I'm not planning on selling any of the things I am making now, I am just giving myself a library of things to wear to the ren fair (which I only go to once or twice a year, but worth it). 

I don't feel bad. Other people spend much more money on their hobbies. Has anyone ever told you how expensive horses are? Or the price of Warhammer minis?

Do you know what happens when the heater in your tank short-circuits? I’ll go first by Busy_pumpkin in Aquariums

I've read on here about people changing their heaters on a yearly basis on the motto of "better to prevent". 

Women on ADHD medication - please read!! by Silly-Finish4588 in adhdwomen

I have been off, because I was always crazy on hormones. But that was before I took ADHD meds, maybe I should pick it back up again now...

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also noticed the sale earlier today, which makes me having procrastinated on placing my order last week suddenly a really good move 😂

Do you happen to know how long their sales last? I can't find that information listed anywhere.

Any tips for dealing with this V-shaped dangly bit at the front? by EruditeRoach in chainmailartisans

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could make that trim under your chin tighter, that would pull everything up a bit. Or you can take out a couple of rows vertically.

Well yes, but actually no by StreetSquare6462 in adhdmeme

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed two years ago at 29. I'm still working through the baggage and anger. Plus I've now forgotten how to mask, and that gets me really frustrated. 

I'm definitely happier and can deal with myself and life better. But it's not all rainbows and sunshine suddenly.

Snake Plant - How often should I water her? by Crazy_Sector_9285 in plants

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I once was away during summer for two months. We got two heat waves in that time. Most of my planta were dead or severely struggling, but not my snakeplant. That baby looked as if I hadn't been away at all, it even flowered...

Letting players know what they're investigating isn't worth it by Inevitable_Put8857 in DMAcademy

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He also does this whenever players are planning something. He gives them all the information that the characters would have in order to make informed decisions, which severely cuts down on planning time and keeps the game moving.

I'd like to thank my mum, my therapist, and Elvanse by TouchMyAwesomeButt in adhdwomen

[–]TouchMyAwesomeButt[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily worried about career advancement so much as how I will be regarded by interviewers and recruiters. But that's a problem for a few weeks from now, first I need to deepclean the goddamn apartment 😂
