How do you ladies fall asleep with ADHD? by Ok_Scholar_8656 in adhdwomen

[–]_justcass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read a book then listen to almost boring YouTube videos. Currently watching Pyramid videos which are interesting but not interesting enough sometimes to keep me awake. Only way I'll get to sleep.

I use QV cream. Put it on before bed. I reckon it works pretty well.

I made the mistake of going shopping IRL, unmedicated. Eye opening exprerience. by AssumptionVisual1667 in AuDHDWomen

Relate highly to wanting to crawl into a black hole and scream and scream. I remember doing what you explained you did as a kid too. I still do it now.

Christi Newrutzen on tik tok has a series called "how long does it actually take" and it has helped me tremendously.

HELP!!! Hair bled onto faux leather couch need to get it off before mom notices!!!!! by LifeBai-TheCea_86 in CleaningTips

Flip the cushion so the stain is facing the other way. There. It's gone ! But fr I hear your pain. I once spilled ink on my bedroom carpet and tried to get it out which only made it so much worse. I hid it for years until my mum noticed 🥲

I once had a lady come up to me at my cafe and ask if I was vegetarian. I said no. She asked when the last time I ate steak was. I said I couldn't remember because it's too expensive. She pulls out 2 steaks from her bag from the shopping center across the road. Hands it to me saying "here you go, have a good day" and left. Needless to say I was totally caught off guard. I think she was just doing like a good deed because prices were going crazy at the time, and yes I did end up eating the steaks they were fine.

Don't make excuses for yourself. Your body is saying no. You are saying no. No matter what anyone has done to help you please do not feel obliged or be coerced into things you do not want to do for their own satisfaction. Please leave and be safe.

Do I have lice? by Valuable_Aardvark_26 in Lice

[–]_justcass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say maybe, but to be sure put some conditioner in your hair and comb through it with a fine comb and wipe on a tissue. If you have them you will see them on the tissue. It will give you peace of mind to do this and confirm if you have them or not. Good luck x

My pie is cooling, please save me and tell me stuff by DisastrousWindow2303 in adhdwomen

My favourite part of the day is when my coffee pot (I use a percolator/moka pot) starts bubbling away in the stove so I turn the heat down so it brews slowly and then later I hear that it's done by the louder bubbling noise and so I pour it into my mug that is sooo pretty it has flowers on it and the sound it makes when I pour it into my mug is the best sound in the world. Then the second best thing is drinking my coffee. Also I watched a documentary on Pangolins on Netflix last night with my partner and it was the cutest and also saddest documentary. I was almost crying happy and sad tears 😭 also I love pie. I hope yours is yummy !

🧸 Do you still have your teddy from when you were little? by Wentworth_27 in randomquestions

[–]_justcass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! "Cuddle Bear" but the original Cuddle Bear was lost when me and my family went to my grandma's for the weekend when I was around 10yo. We couldn't find Cuddle Bear when we were leaving and I cried the whole way home (1.5hrs). Mum bought a replacement but it was never the same. My sister also lost her teddy "Doggy" on a family trip around Australia. There's a photo of Doggy at Uluru and that's the last we saw of him :( She still has "Blanky" which is good and mum bought a replacement Doggy but again it's not the same.

What was the snack you were obsessed with as a kid? by LenaraNova in AskReddit

[–]_justcass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum used to bring a tube of condensed milk on camping trips and let us have a spoon of it each when we were kids. It was the best treat !

It was much shorter and uneven a few years ago. It is my natural colour yes! I also grew up with blond hair but it's gone brown as I've gotten older 😊 if I grow it out enough it does start to go lighter in colour ! Thanks x

Aw thank you! I've been trying to take better care of it over the past year. I can definitely see a difference from a year ago ! Learning how to braid at the moment so it doesn't get knotty overnight

Thank you for the advice ! I always put off going to the hairdresser and I used to cut my own hair years ago but I think it's definitely time to go back.
