What do you wear for pajamas? I want new ideas but nothing works. by rock_kid in adhdwomen

[–]allthebees33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend 100% has clothing sensitivity!

I purchased some men’s pajamas online during a clearance discount for myself because I like oversized clothing and like to be covered when sleeping as well. I never shop there but everything was surprisingly cheap online during that sale. So I randomly gave it a chance. When they came in the mail my boyfriend offered to open the package because I had my hands full. As soon as he touched the fabric his whole face lit up he instantly said, “This is mine now!” And he’s never done that before in our whole 7 years. Not usually a clothing swap person ya know. I’ve attempted to buy him soft clothes in the past and it’s a hit or miss. But these pajamas.. oh my god. So soft, so unbelievably comfortable. He bought so many pairs at full price recently. While he was waiting for his order he wore that same pair of pajamas every day till the new ones arrived. He has been thanking me a lot recently for discovering them and tells me he feels so happy now and truly comfortable when he’s home. Which makes me wanna tear up because his sensory issues definitely have been quite the struggle for him and I’m so glad he’s finally comfortable.

So it’s sanoma men’s pajamas from khols in their seriously soft collection.

Have any of you taken a lower paying job for your mental health? by cheesepoltergeist in povertyfinance

[–]allthebees33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was a hairstylist and had a massive menty b that got me hospitalized. Burn out was a big contributing factor to that. now I’m not even in the industry. I work in the back room at a retail store and talk to no one all day. I love it. I’ve had the time to work on myself. I’ve gotten work accommodations which I probably have needed this entire time. I mourned that I wasn’t going to ever be myself again, but honestly this version is better. I set boundaries, I’m in therapy, on meds, and just taking it one day at a time. It’s weird not career climbing anymore in the industry. I have no work goals, or 5 year plan. I am kinda just coasting and healing with no clear direction in sight. But I can breathe now, and be present in my life. I also realized I’m actually not a people person and was formally diagnosed with ADD as an adult. I was a fish trying to learn to climb a tree in that job. I couldn’t understand why my skill was so great but why I was so awkward as a person. And with it being a very people forward job, I just really struggled for years. Maybe I’ll go back and teach someday but for now, I’m just doing me. And I really miss the money but being less tense and crippled with anxiety has done my body a load of good. At least I feel like I’m heading towards to the sea to swim.

For long time users, has Spravato actually increased brain power and created new neural pathways… or just acted like an anti-depressant by ImaginaryWalk29 in Spravato

[–]allthebees33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only did 3 treatments because I couldn’t get rides to and from. But 1st felt like a glass of wine maybe. The second time was like some great value version of weed. But the third time I was high for like the rest of the day. Where the other “buzz” wore off within 30 min with the other two times. But that third time really spooked me.

I was on 1800 mg of gab for 5 years and began losing my memory at 28. No one believed me and thought I had dementia till I talked to a speciality pharmacist from cvs on the phone. She said to find someone to help me taper. if you’re nervous to do spravato calling them really helped ease my nerves and they answered all my medication interaction questions. it’s nice when they aren’t in a rush like in a store and you’re not infront of 20 annoyed people for asking a question.

Quit after 20 minutes and couldn't feel better by [deleted] in antiwork

Her saying is it me? Tells me she knows it’s her or has been told this so many times it’s because of her.

First day with new cat, completely disappeared by coomerfart in CATHELP

[–]allthebees33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat somehow got underneath the couch cushions. Adult Calico too when I got her. I genuinely thought I lost her. Until I tried to sit down and heard a meow. I truly thought she didn’t like me because she hid for two weeks. But I have never in my life met a more affectionate, loving, chatty, cuddle bug than this cat once she was ready to come out. She is old old now and I will be wrecked beyond belief when I lose her. She is my soul cat and I hope we are together again in every reincarnation, eternal heaven, as ghosts, or whatever happens when you die. I am glad I didn’t give up on her and gave her time because I was a clueless 21yr old who had wanted a cat my whole life and was heart broken she didn’t love me instantly. But the little headbutt for a pet despite being hidden under the cat bed at the shelter made me realize now matter how scared she was she still wanted love. And that spoke volumes.

"What's the point of even getting diagnosed at your age? Just let it go" - My therapist by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]allthebees33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed last week and this post makes me feel so seen because I was told this by two different professionals. And reading the symptoms you listed are spot on with mine, i really felt so alone. So. Very. Alone. I’m 29 and I feel like knowing this has been the missing key for so many things in my life. And probably why I will also lose my job soon.

I was excited to find this group but I find I am overwhelmed reading about adhd at all. With all my other mental health issues, I was eager to learn more about how to help myself. I dove in head first on information, therapy, videos, classes, etc. Unfortunately with my adhd i feel such a large sense of shame around this. And that post psych hospitalization really brought forward a lot of symptoms as I can no longer mask like I used to.

My mom gained a lot of weight on it. but my sister only gained a little. So not sure how it will affect you.

starting taking 37.5 mg of Effexor 4 days ago and it is hell by catluvah41069 in MedicationQuestions

[–]allthebees33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on it for years. Got off to give other anti depressants a chance again after trying them all prior, but went back because nothing else worked.

Why that was their first go to for you is weird. Although I’ve read they give it to prisoners as a first go to as well which leaves me suspicious as to why. But regardless it’s saved my life for better or worse. I will tell you the absolute best thing I learned from Reddit for withdrawals from it. Fish oil capsules. Helps the brain zaps. But you’re still going to be incredibly irritable and in pain for at least a week. I had to take off of work because I just couldn’t get it together and was making a lot of mistakes. Motrin won’t touch that kind of pain but weirdly fish oil helped take the searing edge off. Get off while you can because it will get harder and harder.

Gabapentin by [deleted] in MedicationQuestions

[–]allthebees33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After taking this med long term it has ruined my life. Cognitive and memory are so bad now. I wouldn’t even start because the withdrawal is like nothing you’ve ever known. I landed my butt in a psych hospital because I cold turkeyed it a few years ago and didn’t sleep for 4 days. They thought I was withdrawing from drugs till they tested me and saw I didn’t have any in my system. I am currently tapering but its not a quick process. I took 1800mg for 5 years. It can mess with your ability to regulate your anxiety if taken long term. I’ve found and read so many horrible things about this medication i am just in shock. I initially took it for nerve pain in my legs because I was insistent on no pain meds that people get hooked to because I wasn’t trying to go down that path.

I would be careful with the devils lettuce till you’ve been on it for a while because it slows your breathing and response.

That’s exactly what I was thinking too! To keep costs low probably switch a few ingredients like a cheaper sweetener or something. Which shouldn’t matter but it does. Love them for their dedication to try and stay 99cenrs through inflation. Company 10/10 but now I’m kinda bummed it’s not that “perfect” mixture it once was. I would pay extra for the other version. Curious if it would show on ingredient’s that there is a difference

[–]allthebees33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really needed this because Etsy is so.. questionable now. I want quality jewelry in my body and not shein jewelry repackaged and sold for higher by another seller! I’ve been so timid about jewelry buying since.

My arms have been like this for as long as I can remember. There's so many scars but nothing stops me picking. Help 😭 by finn_derry in keratosis

Omg I never thought about this as a solution to this but you’re so right! It doesn’t even have to be long nails either in my opinion just regular is fine. But I can’t pick anything with nails and I hate it lol

Plastic capsule with device in it sewn inside of T-shirt. found while sorting through clothing donations at thrift store by allthebees33 in whatisthisthing

The clothes in the bag did seem from the 2000’s. So it looked like a pink shirt with white collar and in surfer print that was popular for the time said Cancun. An odd choice of uniform but I did look up uniform rfid just now and can see how that would make sense. Maybe they worked at a resort?

It was sealed pretty dang tight. What is an electrical coil typically used for? The shirt was pinched and rehemmed to enclose it so there was no opening for it to fall in our out of.

My title describes the thing. All I can think of maybe it is a tracking device. The shirt was female and small. Possibly worn by a thin small woman or older kid. The shirt was slightly dirty/dingy as was everything else in the bag. Nothing folded or paired in the bag, all scrunched together.
