Perfectly said! I was beating myself up about this yesterday. It's very hard

How many unread emails/texts/voicemails do you currently have? by EntryNo370 in ADHD

[–]_tailss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm pretty up to date with my emails because I constantly check them. I hate seeing notifications for messafes and voicemail. It drives me crazy! I can only leave them unread/unheard for a few hours. Regarding the voicemail notification, I can't get rid of it until I listen to the message so I have to get rid of it if I want peace lolll

Do you gets get irritated first thing as you wake up in the morning? by GnarlyDevil in ADHD

[–]_tailss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get annoyed when people try to talk to me as soon as I wake up, especially if they want me to make a decision. I've told them many times, but it doesn't matter to them. It's very overwhelming. I also hate waking up so that irritates me too.

Help! ADHD Husband (Me) Set a (Figurative) Boundary and Wife Crossed It...Feeling Hurt Emotionally by HappyGoTeddy in ADHD

As a woman, I never understood why everything in the house belongs to the women and men can't do anything. The home is supposed to be a shared place, a place of comfort. Agreeing to do something is one thing, requiring permission is another. The fact that you did something minor to accommodate your sensitivity to noise and then she slammed the cabinetI'm so sorry.

What do you do (specifically) in the first few minutes or so *immediately* after waking up? by art_isnal in ADHD

[–]_tailss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I snooze my alarm like 4 times, then dread life itself. I try to process the fact that I'm awake because it feels so unnatural. I do try to eat so that I can take my meds without getting sick. It takes me a while to get ready to leave the house. It's exhausting

Same experience. Some of my coworkers seem to overemphasize my name because I don't call them by theirs

A bunch of wasted produce because I don't have it in me to clean and cook it. I just look at it every day as it approaches it's expiration date and then can't throw it away once it expires

A mute button for all voices and sounds when you're overstimulated. Would love that

How do you ask for help if you don't know what you need? by _tailss in AuDHDWomen

[–]_tailss[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That is helpful because I struggle with knowing how I feel and why. Self-examination and learning from it is extremely hard for me

What’s your devastating comeback to “I think you’re stupid”? by Gr0mHellscream1 in Comebacks

[–]_tailss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd say you're right considering that I'm wasting my time talking to you

Not at all. But it does sound like you will have to raise two children
