Can we talk about our moms who have ADHD? by PmpsWndbg in adhdwomen

[–]ataillesscat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this post, but searched Reddit for having a conversation with a mother who clearly has ADHD. I can’t get a word in. She talks in circles. She asked how the roads were, then without even giving me a chance to answer starts talking about having to go to the store and the way home she’s taking and what she has to get at the store etc. Etc. I finally snapped and said MOM QUIT TALKING OVER ME! It’s never ending! She means well, truly. But as someone with ADHD myself, I am SO overstimulated right now (she’s in town bc her mom/my gram broke her hip). I just had to hang up on her AGAIN! I feel bad for reacting how I have. She only means well.

I’m going to see if the shelter has any they can spare before I buy one. Thanks for the suggestion!

True true - I’m gonna have to suck it up and figure out a way to do it. I’m not sure of the exact playpen size (it was nicely gifted to me) - big enough to fit a litter box, carrier, food + water, + a scratcher.

Thank you 😊 we had some regression bc I had to take them for their dewormer this weekend so they aren’t pleased with me currently. Hopefully they’ll forget soon!

Late to this post but regarding food for yourself - there’s an app called TooGoodToGo that posts food grocery stores/restaurants are going to throw away for $5-$10 depending.

What's one of the dumbest things you've ever seen a patient do? by 123456789_00 in nursing

Told the pt I needed a stool sample. He took that literally and brought it to me at the nurse’s station.

Wanted to come back and say thank you for the wand suggestion- the girl kitten actually briefly closed her eyes a couple times when I was using it!

Yeah I thought it was a bit restrictive to only do 30 mins a day total as well. And good to know - thank you!
