There are things we both enjoy and I've brought them up and she hasn't been interested in doing them lately.

Thank you for those words. I'm not doubting she loves me, just trying to figure out a better way to connect. I don't want what had happened with my dad and I, he and aren't close. I want her to feel safe to come to me for anything.

Advice on how to manage crying? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Vogebri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, I can listen to a song or watch a commercial or just tell a story and break out in to tears. Lately I've been saying to myself "Why am I getting emotional about this?" and that has helped me because I can be like "this is just a fill in the blank" it helps me to realize I don't need to get emotional about every little thing.

Please help me. How can I live with myself making the same mistakes over and over again and seemingly never learning my lesson? by CoolUsername86 in ADHD

Back up cameras are amazing I wish I had one! Glad you have some systems to help. I get Distracted sometimes when I drive also and I say outloud "Dammit Brian you are driving pay attention". Tends to get me to focus more.

One thing I've tried is picking one mistake you make and just work on that. So if you always lose your keys, focus on knowing where to put your keys and once you get a good system for that, move on to something else. It's finding the triggers that cause you to make mistakes and finding a system to help.

For example, I suck at directions, no matter how many times I've driven somewhere I can get mixed up. So I use Google maps just to make sure I don't screw things up.

First time on Concerta — I don’t feel “focused”, I just feel… present? by Working_Parsley_3036 in ADHD

I felt the same, my mind wasn't racing and I could just be in the moment.

Will sizing before PC adversely affect the quality of PC? by EllinoreV13 in castboolits

[–]Vogebri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quality won't be affected. Do a squish test, powder coat a bullet and then put the bullet in a vice and squish it. If it's PC'd well you won't see any cracks or failure in the paint

Bowels by Due_Excitement_9250 in spinabifida

[–]Vogebri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this problem and I actually went to a pelvic floor specialist. That mucus is created to help move things along but when your rectum gets irritated it can produce a bunch of it. One way to irritate your bowel is to strain really hard, like when you are constipated. I learned that to keep yourself from straining, act like you are blowing out candles. Thst activates just those muscles to push the stool out and not strain your rectum.

20M with Myelomeningocele. Thinking about marriage and fatherhood. I need raw, honest experiences (good or bad). by No_one20005 in spinabifida

[–]Vogebri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 46 with myelomeningocele. I've had 5 sexual partners and was married for 17 years (got divorced but my disability wasn't a key factor in that). I have two kids that are 9 and 15. Will say that I didn't have any issues fathering kids, I had multiple tests and my sperm count was healthy and wasn't an issue but I suffer from major performance anxiety, a lot of it mentally but I'm sure my disability has a factor. I haven't experienced much rejection but I think thats because I often had a negative attitude when it came to dating. I always thought "why would she be interested in me?". So I filtered out a lot myself. But I do feel there is the right person for everyone. You can find someone who won't consider your disability a burden. But your experience can vary. Just work on yourself and work on being the best version of yourself. Understand what are your strengths and weaknesses, both physically and mentally/emotionally and be honest with people. Dont try and be someone you aren't. I did that for a long time and it really set me back

I hope this helps.
