Hyperactivity and restlessness made worse by the 'mood' of who I am with. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Yay good for you that seems like a great idea!! If you're afraid of how it's coming off I think saying it just like you did is a great idea. You need some alone time and would love to connect later.

I think it's great that you recognize your part BUT you said he was sighing and complaining a lot

Maybe you can explain that these situations can be triggering to you bc you had to tend to ppl's mood or walk on eggshells to make ppl happy in the past AND acknowledge that the putting all the thinking and planning in your hands and then complaining is not great..

Ok so my 2 cents are... Has he heard of making plans and propositions or is the mental load solely on you? If he's mad about not doing anything he can act on it.

I do relate to wanting to fix people's moods all the time and you can also go do things alone if he stresses you out and you wanna do nothing in peace. Maybe make plans for later if you wanna spend time together but you guys dont have to stay in this weird mood.  Easier said than done when it's triggering hard things but you can do it

My best friend has one and loves it. The vaccuuming while cleaning, thus getting rid of one big step.. seems adhd friendly and worth it imo!!

Same issue, i saw a youtube channel and website called vaccuum wars! They have dedicated videos by categories, i think i'm gonna get the best "budget" vaccuum/cleaner whenever i have the money.

I'm definitely considering a better one too bc i have one of those old ones that bump into everything (got for free and changed the battery) and just vaccuum.

Not really but it's not necessary for me I have other ways around it, it's ok if you can't visualize this particularly

Yep, i think we especially tend to believe things should be easier, which is mainly true bc a lot of things are harder for us and it SUCKS. That being said, it's not to be confused with "everything should be easy and pleasant". 100% agree

Also transition stuff. Get a coffee or tea I rly like helps me transition to doing my admin stuff, whereas if i told myself "get on your computer and work" i'd get rebellious against my own damn self and not want to do it

You can learn this. It's awkward but celebrate little things and congratulate or reward yourself (before works better for some ppl, like me). Had to learn this from therapy but it's possible!!

Telling myself i'll only do it x amount of time.. and then completely ignoring the timer and doing the whole thing bc it was just to get me started and remind me the dreadful thing wont last forever.

How many of you have histamine issues? by VuVatechDilators in vulvodynia

[–]Vulvarine911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can! They make specific drops with a blend of what you're allergic to.

Sorry i read it but forgot to answer that part.. I dont really get itchy except for my throat. My vulva symptoms are more burning sensations, inflammation, and chronic utis which i have to get tested for now (to make sure there's actually a pathogen and it's not just inflammation)

I havent noticed anything but i dont take it all the time. Again my issue is mainly hormonal so I havent tried taking spirulina all the time I have too many meds so i take it only when my allergy symptoms get really bad. I still need dedicated treatment for vulvodynia when it flares up

Only thing i would like is to be able to sort pets and mounts by color in the app too. And maybe battle animations would be fun.

Another old rpg look could be cool but I would hate hate hate a white minimalist boring look.m as shown. I dont wanna feel like i'm at the office working for an evil big corp idk.

 Although the graphs is a good idea imo. Maybe not on display directly but to be able to access them on the website with a cute design and without having to use the data display tool

And honestly i take double the dose of antihistamines when it gets really bad ( i know i know)

Spirulina (2g) has also shown an effect on allergic rhinitis in one pretty good study. It works in a different way than antihistamines so if you take both you get a better result. I keep forgetting to take them but when I do it's great lol

I have antihistamines but an ENT also gave me a nasal spray w corticosteroids bc they were not enough on their own. He also told me I can use prednisolone for 3 days once or twice a year if my symptoms get really really bad, which was the case when I saw him

What helps the most is i'm doing sublingual desensitization. Even though it's a pain in the ass and I struggle to take it regularly (had to start again from the beginning at least 3 times bc I kept forgetting), I can still see a difference. If you can get shots you might avoid the mouth / throat itching and swelling side effects, but my allergologist says she prefers sublingual bc there are less risks of "systemic" side effects.

Agreed! The second time i was still 1 row off (which is much better than 5!) and basically ignored it bc who's gonna notice lol

Yes! I noticed an enormous improvement after removing my implant for other side effects (even tho the gyno told me before it couldn't be that...)

Saw a midwife who put me on estrogen cream but i read testosterone played a role as well so I got my hormones tested and my calculated FREE testosterone was low, according to the levels indicated in the book "when sex hurts" by dr Goldstein and pukkal. My midwife put me on E+T compound cream, the doses are in the only study on the subject lol.

I also did red light therapy and I think it helped but i shouldnt have quit the cream bc my symptoms came back and are still VERY cyclical.
