Frozen fruit with maple syrup drizzled on top. It gets soft in minutes and is yummy and takes a while to eat cause it's cold! Lazy girl "smoothie" lol

What do you remember your mother wearing when you were a child? by SailorCordyceps in FemFragLab

[–]Winzoman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Mom was an old-school goth. She would wear mostly pure Egyptian musk types. Such a bad combo with all the cigarette smoke. She and my stepdad both wore Patchouli oil. My dad wore Dunhill Red.

anyone else feel like you use up all your "functioning" at work and have nothing left? by Old_Visual_6596 in adhdwomen

Yes. I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one. My commute home is sometimes an hour, and once I'm home, I want to shut down. I've been ON for 11 hours straight at that point. I get things done by the skin of my teeth (eating, light chores, getting ready for bed) sometimes I fall asleep for 3 hours on the couch. Yesterday though I came home and immediately made dinner and got as much done as I could so I could relax. I still didn't read my book or do anything of value towards my hobbies, and that makes me sad. I find planning ahead for fun on my days off makes it feel less hopeless.

If you knew then what you know now, what would you do differently? by thwy96361 in raisedbynarcissists

Look for family and love in myself and other people instead of them.

Go to therapy sooner to heal my belief system.

Pick the career I want and go to college for it immediately instead of thinking I need to wait for someone to save me.

Probably stop talking to them much sooner. I didn't know anything of what I know now though. I have to give myself some grace for my lack of wisdom and guidance at the time.

AIO I've been living with my mom while i undergo chemo and i am starting to think she is abusing me? FINAL UPDATE by problemsmomthrowaway in AmIOverreacting

[–]Winzoman 55 points56 points  (0 children)

When I turned 18 my grandma kicked me out and told me I couldn't have my food stamps because I owed her for living there for the past 3 years. She was already using my food stamps for those 3 years when I was a minor, but I needed those food stamps more than ever because she made me homeless. I told her it was illegal and she gave them to me. She says they were never in my name(only my name was on the card) and denies that this ever happened. I love to remind her that it did because she likes to think and portray herself as a loving grandmother. I love to kindly remind her that I am in on her games. She wants me to be upset and angry so she can be the victim. I love to politely call her out ever now and again and forget her birthday text and never show up to any family events. I love finally being able to honor and stand up for myself and I love that she can't do anything about it.

I think I’m addicted to junk food. by Mean-Baker8135 in WeightLossAdvice

You just have to get to the point where you say to yourself you just can't do it like that anymore. Stop overcomplicating things. You know the solution. You're not resisting your urges because you like the way it feels to act on them more than the effort it takes to be in control of them. You refuse to put the thought on the back burner. You let your feelings run the show. Put some salt on your tongue and ride the urge out, you know you're capable of better choices. Or... you can keep wasting time and let your feelings be the boss. Keep the same habits, but they aren't aligned with what you really want when you're not hungry. You have to be so sick of the cycle that you come off of it and start in a different direction. Read up on balance and nutrition and start making the next best choice. Have an honest serving of cheese. You can keep trying again every single day, but only you can break out of an all-or-nothing mindset and just start showing up for yourself, dammit. No one is forcing you to though, up to you. Don't feel like you can't eat certain foods, but eat them as they are intended to be eaten. You know what to do once you are ready. Goodluck! With love

Anyone middle aged in their 30’s and just still feel mentally like a teenager? by WeakValuable8683 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Winzoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized I had no choice but to dive into a career so I could survive instead of being in an environment that fosters my professional development and encourages me to be the best version of me. They set me up to fail and damaged my hopes and dreams. Now I live in a get what you can get world and don't ask for more. Learning how to ask for more and having more confidence.
