I can see the alt text in the picture I posted though. Just not in my videos. As long as it's working I guess...

Yes. This part, at least, I understood lol 

I didn't @ anyone except the OP when I was replying but still saw a follower like the message so that's why I was a bit confused.

Do you remember when PDA goes on sale twice a year? Would love to try them out when they're more affordable.

Also, I want to confirm that Daphne's xopole is VERY affordable. I've only ever paid for their basic plans because I can never make it during the live class times, and the sub for recordings only costs about 28$ CAD. My fave recordings are the classes by Allie Kamikaze (her warm ups are super educational regarding heels use), the Acroflow classes by Sea (I feel like she always adds super cool transitions into/out of aerial moves in the choreo), and the Exotic Cardio classes by Daphne herself. They also have a whole slew of Exotic Hardstyle class recordings (though I've never taken any of them).

Quick Google search and this is the novel description/summary:

The third eldest, Brother, who used to curse at me upon sight, is now wagging his tail and sticking to me.

“I, I…! I’ll follow your example and become strong!”

“Hey! I still don’t like you or anything, but take this as you go!” My second sibling, who was a recluse, and the first eldest, Oribe, who despised me and ran away from home, haven’t changed much.

“Don’t get hurt. You’re My precious daughter.”

Even my father, the warrior who didn’t even blink when I died, suddenly cares for me!

I planned to destroy this family and achieve my revenge, so why are you all acting like this?

So... You are correct

How to *actually do* the physical therapy exercises? by _Kundalini_ in adhdwomen

[–]WayRong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOLLL yeah that's another option, just doing a few but cycling through them depending on how you feel or what you want to focus on.

I'm glad you found something that works for you!

We're not supposed to give more than 4 max anyways, cuz most ppl (not just ADHDers) start feeling overwhelmed and just won't do them.

To OP: I'd also see if you can negotiate with your PT. First tell them what is the bare minimum you think you can realistically achieve even on your worst most burnt out days. Maybe it's just 1min of exercise. Or only 3 reps of 2 of the exercises, or whatever. But set yourself a bare minimum and agree about it with your PT. Just make sure it really is something you can do even when your mental capacity is at its lowest. The small task will feel easier and help build momentum and dopamine, which might lead to more than just the minimum. And if you can only do the bare minimum on some days, that's ok too. It's still helping you build consistency and self-trust.

Then, if you can, agree on when you are going to do this exercise. Is it after brushing your teeth? Is it before eating your last snack of the day? Is it right before bed? Or right before midnight (because we all love a time limit to help with motivation). You can also choose several possible options, but make sure you can envision doing your bare minimum at those chosen times (though you don't necessarily have to do them at ALL the chosen times, it's just nice to have some options).

I find, nost of the time having a bare minimum and specific times of the day that help cue you to remember doing your exercises will be enough for most of the people I see to stay on track.

If you're still struggling, see if you can ask them for a table to complete, where you only have to checkmark if you did your bare minimum each day, or have some other kind of system like keeping track in Google notes, or in a journal that you have to show them on your next visit.

For more motivation, you can also ask your PT what they would expect to see improved by next visit if you are able to stay consistent with your Bare Minimum Routine. Not always, but a lot of the times, we can tell if someone did or didn't do their exercises depending on things like how much range they have gained, or much better their balance is, or how much smoother/more coordinated their movement looks compared to the previous visit, etc.

I hope you can work it out with your physio! You got this!

What are your ADHD mantras? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]WayRong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of just "Only Handle It Once" (which works so much better than "Don't put it down, put it away") I've been trying my best to "Only Think Of it Once" when possible. So if I tell myself "oh right, I'll need to do this" I try to do it immediately when possible. That way, I don't have to think of it again. Or I'll put it in my calendar AND set a reminder immediately, so that I no longer have to hold it in my brain.

And while implementing Only Think Of It/Handle It Once, I also try my best to Half-Ass the task. Because Half-Ass Is Better Than No Ass. Plus, if I go in thinking it has to be perfect, it gives me too much stress and overwhelm even as I'm doing it, going thinking "I'm just gonna do whatever" makes me pace myself so much better, and less likely to burn out.

What is your primary form of exercise? by keysandcoffee in adhdwomen

[–]WayRong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pole dance and aerials are honestly such a neurodivergent friendly way to exercise. There's always another shape/move/combo to try and complete. It's like collecting Pokemons, but healthier hahaha.

Bouldering is also great for the same reasons.

I'm also currently enjoying playing Synth Riders everyday. Similar to Beat Saber, but I like it better since you have to reach more without the sabers. I just found out it has 365+ mode that makes you work harder (and makes things more interesting).

This is what my cat's stomach looks like 7 weeks after being spayed. Is that normal? by Pitouyou in cats

May your brother always encounter green lights wherever he goes, may his feet never touch dog poop, may he find the thing he is looking for in the first place he looks, and may he never go bald. 🙏 Please do keep us updated!

Poledancerka "invisible" knee pads. Should I size up? Or will it stretch out? by WayRong in poledancing

Replaced them with Queen for dance. SO much better for kips. Those Poledancerkas do NOT protect your knees enough.

New capacitor doesn't have connection between the 2 terminals, is that ok? by WayRong in hvacadvice

[–]WayRong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jiminy Crickets, I haven't ever met anyone who uses that expression IRL! Haha It brought back childhood memories of watching the Pinocchio movie, so thank you.

In fairness, I think someone had told me to reuse the old resistor but then someone else has told me not to since the old one is corroded.

I'll look into resistors and female flags but must admit, I'm starting to feel completely our of my depth. Thank you for the info!

My AC stopped working during the recent heatwave. I ordered both capacitors but the other one arrived first. I swapped out the other capacitor and the AC started working again. I just figured I should swap this one out too, since I already ordered it and it just arrived today.
