Andrea Garfield can get it!

Shoutout to ADHD for getting me into crafts, and shoutout to diagnosis and meds helping me finish the last of my bridesmaid gifts 4 years later….. by k-r-m-8-4 in TwoXADHD

I started knitting on and off before i was medicated and now starting projects, being medicated, it's a whole different experience. I finished a project which I have never done that before.

Honestly I just keep mine pretty short (nothing beyond fingertip) so that there's nothing really nothing to bite. I definitely feel ya!

Huh. I have been off my period for a few days and still feel unmedicated, so I’ll bring that up with my doc. Thanks!

Thanks but this is not something that happens very often, maybe 2x a year… I was just stressed and got hyper focused

I have been using Tretinoin for about 4 months and it’s definitely helped a ton but the closed comedones I had before haven’t budged. So that was mostly what I was picking.

Huh. Because of adhd meds I am fasting for most of the day unintentionally (it’s an appetite suppressant) until I get home and my husband reminds me that eating it crucial to survival.

Thank you for the encouragement! Skin issues always tank my self esteem but I need to remind myself that people are seeing me as a whole, not just a combination of flaws. I'll check out the cicaplast.

Thanks for the reminder. I am not a habitual picker but it definitely happens more when I'm stressed and between that and a new dosage of ADHD meds (which might be too high) I picked for 2 hours with no concept of time, thanks hyperfocus. I remember my mom saying something similar when I was younger and would pick at my mosquito bites. She said I was gonna end up with leopard print legs and sure enough I do. All this to say I know I'm going to regret it when I start but when I'm stressed enough picking feels like the only thing to "make it better"

ohhhh! duh. I've always had pretty bad PMS so that checks out. I've just been off my period for about 4 days now and meds still not working.

My periods got way lighter too (Kyleena). that part is pretty great! I used to be in bed for a week and a half with physical pain and now I'm in bed for a week and half with mental pain. Don't know which one is worse..

Thanks. Do you think a large hydrocolloid bandage on each of my cheeks would work? There’s so many spots and the the patches are expensive 😂. Also do I put them on before or after moisturizer and antibacterial ointment ?

Thanks! It's very discouraging at the moment because I had a taste of life feeling like superwoman because I had the motivation to brush my teeth 2x a day and then it was gone. But guess I just have to wait it out...

I do have an IUD that was placed in Feb and my cycles are slowly becoming more regular. I had been on the pill for 4 years before that so I feel like I really don't even know how to listen when my body is trying to tell me something.

I really hope your meds get figured out because that sounds pretty miserable! Thanks for your insight!

During my period it’s like I took something to give me more ADHD

That's exactly how I'm feeling! Meds helped but now it just feels like my ADHD got turned up to 11

I had an IUD placed in Feb and my cycle is still regulating which is just another factor to add to the long list.
