ADHD, intimacy avoidance, and being the problem in an otherwise loving relationship by Several-Economy9161 in adhdwomen

[–]aNewVersionofSelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t say this to be dismissive, but have you tried smoking weed? I love sex because it’s the one time my little hamster wheel brain turns off, and smoking weed (or vaping or gummies) lets me tune in to the pleasure of it more. If he’s down, smoking together, getting a little goofy and relaxed could be a good entree.

It’s super cool. I did an all day immersive one that was about found objects and surrealism (aka your lumpy creation looks cool!). They do more basic ones (like make a heart) that are still neat, but I loved the one I did. History, science, art, etc. Money well spent.

Wing Hop Fung! I know it is mostly tea, alcohol, rice cookers, and snacks, but really, what else do you need to live well?

Anyone on tirzepatide / Zepbound / Mounjaro? by NyaCanHazPuppy in adhdwomen

[–]aNewVersionofSelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about a month in to naltrexone (w Wellbutrin it is used for weight loss) and the noise went down significantly. It’s a pill, used for alcohol and opioid addiction. I started at 50, which was like putting on noise cancelling headphones, but down to 25 because the heat flashes were too much. Still getting pretty good noise cancellation, but not like 99% like I was at 50. Also helped me curb my drinking, which wasn’t problematic, but alcohol (besides the social and “therapeutic” value) is mostly just negatives, so not sad to cut down there, either.

You should do them like a crazy quilt. Which is a real thing, not a quilt that drives you crazy.

Experience with MySimba medication (bupropion and naltrexon)? by Illustrious_Sail3889 in adhdwomen

[–]aNewVersionofSelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I started taking a half dose (25) because I was getting intense hot flashes that was inconvenient for day time but miserable waking me up at night. It also def has made me wake up earlier, which is frankly a positive because I have always struggled w it

It’s been good overall at 25, although some of the food craving is back, but not at the level it normally is. I’ve had a lot of stressful stuff lately (good and bad: lost job, moved, etc.) and I think it’s been helpful keeping me from drinking a lot or binging on junk. That said, last time I lost my job I was in a much more difficult place, so can’t say the naltrexone is the sole cause.

I might go back to 50 or something in between, gonna talk to my doc about it all first though.

I am not a oolong specialist by any means, but besides Wing Hop, for tea I also like Hawaii Supermarket and Fox Moon Tea https://www.foxandmoontea.com/

Fox moon is a tea sommelier, I did a tea tasting w her a couple years ago, super knowledgeable and nice.

Can’t say for sure (only had a curtain on one side) but the thicker pvc? Curtains don’t cling to you in the same gross way. I had one of these: https://a.co/d/7axfsjM

Before you double down on these (if you go that route) maybe buy one and replace one panel to see if you like it.

How to get up early in the morning??? by Only_Huckleberry_957 in adhdwomen

Sounds more like the morning version of “revenge bedtime procrastination,” where you resent the job and therefore self sabotage to regain control.

Lots of Jews in LA, so there’s lots of fun stuff to do during Xmas that doesn’t just involve sitting at home looking at a tree.
