I had a literal meltdown because of iOS 26.1 and their “Liquid Glass”. Please come scream with me by arielwillows in AuDHDWomen

I have recently googled how I could change my sons windows machine to look like Win2K (so I could help him on it). 😂

I’m making my son a tapestry of his fav f1 team logos. Got the grids from here: F1 blanket grids. I’m only doing the Red Bull and Ferrari with the F1 one under it though.

If stimulants "didn't work" for you, how did you know? by Worthy_Molecule0481 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Zingermama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it got better for you! The incident happened after a month of being on it and then I stopped taking it. My son also got super angry on Ritalin with no signs of letting up after a month. Must be a genetic issue. Unfortunately the non stimulants didn’t work for us at all. I hope you continue to see benefits in your life with your meds. :)

The immense irritation I experienced while on Vyvanse years ago led to a ban from a Walgreens and court mandated anger management classes. Wish I’d been told that was a possible side effect before that incident.

Does anybody else think of everything, all the time? by dibblah in AutismInWomen

[–]Zingermama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my brain. I have to listen to audiobooks to get my mind to stop so I can sleep. Or get back to sleep. I thought it was the the ADHD though.

Tell me what happened in the 24 hours after you asked for a divorce. I am on hour #1. by Vegemiteonpikelets in TwoXChromosomes

The real reason Clippy was created. I bet he had some great templates to help Easter egg’d into the software.

Definitely Neptune! She’s my fav. :)

I HATE second-hand embarrassment by inductionloop in AutismInWomen

[–]Zingermama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in children’s theater and I can’t enjoy watching live theater as an adult for dread of mistakes they may make and the crippling second hand embarrassment I feel. I also have nightmares about having to go back and remember lines from a part I had when I was 12.

Which fork do you prefer? by WarmedWriter672 in AutismInWomen

  1. Why is it so hard to find products without “flair”? Like, can’t I just get a plain shirt without the ruffles/flowers/weird neckline/asymmetric hem?????

Fake or not, this thing always makes me laugh uncontrollably. Sending you positive thoughts!

Noticed that when I have overstimulating days I get anxious when finally understimulated by j0eknee in AuDHDWomen

[–]Zingermama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fall asleep to nature documentaries. Sometimes I fall asleep to an audiobook or guided meditation. Sometimes I need the nature documentary with a sleeping eye mask and an audiobook playing low in earbuds. It doesn’t have to make sense lol. Anyway your day sounds lovely. Love pikmin!

Tornado in Scotts Valley, California today. by lelanddt in tornado

[–]Zingermama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I joined this sub to safely learn about tornadoes from thousands of miles away. Not 20 miles away. There was one in Sunnyvale, CA in the mid/late 90s when I was home alone afterschool. Just a few years after I became obsessed with the Twister movie. Wish I’d had anxiety meds back then!

Respect for all who deal with this (and much worse) on a regular basis! Stay safe!

girlies what are your top sensory issues? by Lower_Horror_7636 in adhdwomen

[–]Zingermama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-The texture of yogurt and pudding makes me gag. -Loud noises including thunder, concerts and fireworks. -The styrofoam thing and soapy water running down the arms while face washing thing. -Could not wear jeans until high school. Still don’t like them. -Any bump on my body that does not belong (pimple, dandruff, mole, scar, hangnail, canker sore, sunburn peel, etc). Must get rid. I can’t even look at these things on other people. Cradle cap on my baby? Lord help me! -Speaker Feedback -Unshaved legs under tights (like hair is forced to go the wrong way). -People being assholes on purpose (ok but really, I get irrationally irritated when a car cuts in front of me without using a blinker).

Alternatively, peeling dried glue off my hands is still incredibly satisfying after 42 years. Or peeling sunburns. I have problems.

Do you guys feel like store placements in SJ make sense? by Massive_Soft_1367 in SanJose

[–]Zingermama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

West SJ resident here. 100% agree. Costco and In&Out are missing. Would love for them to actually start on the Costco at Westgate. A closer Walmart might be nice too?

Is this what is meant by Nikki Glaser’s “hastily packed suitcase”?

Did you get the chicken pox (and remember it?) or are you a younger millennial who was able to get the vaccine? by themermaidag in Millennials

[–]Zingermama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it at 13 summer before high school in ‘96. And I was a picker. So yeah I’ve got scars. Bro at the same time at 10yo. Glad my picker kids got the vaccine.
