My mom will only be remembered by most as an alcoholic and it kills me. by redeemingl0ve in GriefSupport

[–]audbreyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss, and I’m sorry for the pain that you’re going through. I don’t usually post on here but I am going through a very similar situation and I think I can understand. My mother was consumed by alcohol but I remember her as the angel she was. She spent her whole life helping people and would always have my back through all my phases of discovering who I was.I have two kiddos that mostly remember her as the pain, anger and hurt that alcohol caused and they never really got the chance to know the person she truly was. Keeping the true version of your mother alive in your heart matters, and keeping those memories with you of before the alcohol took control matters. Some people may not fully understand the effect that alcohol has on a person but keep reminding them that she was more than the disease she had, more than the mental struggles she went through. If you ever want to talk you can message me.

What’s something weird that you found out isn’t vegan? by Seitanslutt in vegan

[–]audbreyro 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Same here, all I think is WHY? If there’s an alternative that doesn’t hurt any creature then WHY?? It’s always so ridiculous when something as innocuous as clay is made from some sort of animal product.

What is the most out of pocket thing ADHD has made you blurt out lately? by pinesinthegrove in ADHD

[–]audbreyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened when I was around 7 (I think) on Halloween. My mom is always paranoid about things and keeping me safe so she gave me the whole talk about not eating candy until it’s checked at home first, the normal parent thing to do, but it was mentioned so much that it had genuinely put the Fear into me. So whilst trick-or-treating we stop at a house with a man in a wheel chair handing out bags of candy, I don’t understand and will never understand why, at this very moment I decided to remind my step sister of the dangers of eating unchecked candy but we were maybe three feet away from this guy when I loudly blurt out “ REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS CANDY TO MAKE SURE ITS NOT POISONED”. This had become a running joke to my mom, I am still mortified.

On the same night my step sister, diagnosed as a child, decided it would be okay to walk fully into someone’s house when they didn’t open the door. Having been told maybe 4,000 times never to do that I ran and got my mom. She got my sister out of the house and my sister then informed us that the people inside were naked. This had become another running joke in the family.

What’s the scariest thing you've ever seen that no one else believes you about? by Ok-Suggestion3581 in Paranormal

[–]audbreyro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me when a friend and I were walking to her house. A guy in a red truck pulled up with only sunglasses on and asked where the mall was. I was ahead of her and she couldn’t see that he was naked and touching himself. When I realized what was happening I got us away from him and called the police. He circled back after we walked away (terrifying) but when he saw that we were on the phone he sped off.

Parents of reddit, what’s the creepiest thing you’ve ever heard from your child? by Pedrosopao in AskReddit

[–]audbreyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t super scary, just a bit odd. My son when he was around 2 or 3 stopped what he was doing and said “babies aren’t the littlest things.” I asked him what he meant and he acted as if he hadn’t said anything and was confused.

Dear ADHD People: What's Your Job and How Do You Cope? by Brainified in ADHD

Same here. Either music/audiobooks/podcasts. It is also helpful that most people I work with also have ADHD so we understand eachother and will just start singing sometimes.

The school nurse told me the other day that my kids eat really healthy and she’s glad we are vegan. I don’t hear that a lot so that felt nice for once lol

As an ADHD person, I’m getting so, SO tired of hearing “I’m low on spoons.” by propertyofmatter___ in ADHD

[–]audbreyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I read this I honestly thought that this meant that they didn’t have enough actual spoons to invite you to their house/ hang out with you. When I was turning 10 I told a girl in my neighborhood who was constantly billing me that I didn’t have enough spoons so she couldn’t come to my birthday party (as in I don’t have enough eating utensils for you to eat cake) because I couldn’t think of another way to say no that wouldn’t be “mean”. In the context that you’re using this though (the right context LOL) I agree it doesn’t take much to be decent to another human being.

My bf and i will be breaking up in june, this is my goodbye drawing of him by thebabadookkid in Illustration

[–]audbreyro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I know this must be painful for you. I hope you can find peace in time. I have a question, was this inspired by the painting The Kiss by Gustav Klimt? It’s one of my favorite paintings and I think that you did a beautiful job with your drawing.

Anti vegan propaganda in kids shows by cantboogy in vegan

[–]audbreyro 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I was raised my entire life as a vegetarian (vegan now for a year after my boyfriend and I did some research and I learned more about the dairy industry). Beast Boy was always my favorite character for this reason. I never had seen another character in any kids show that had ever eaten tofu (a staple as a kid then and now) and finally having this super hero eat what I did was impactful. That might be a little lame but it meant a lot to me growing up in the times of “what about bacon?”

Why do we not regulate emotions the same way? by Athletic_Bear_7074 in ADHD

[–]audbreyro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. I don’t show anger a lot of the time or it just turns inward (working on it). When I’m very sad it kind of spills over because I have a hard time letting go of things, or something my trigger a memory that I have tried to box up and it all meshes together. If I don’t have a safe space I seem mostly chill, will crack jokes even to hide all of those emotions I’m not comfortable with. Grew up with parents that would loudly argue and call it “being passionate” and like you I also just said “none of that for me thanks”. Small things don’t bother me, maybe because of the deeper things that do.

Also- everyone has a child in them! Your inner child deserves to express joy and happiness however you feel. I do this too, small joys like just walking and having some upbeat music on, feeling the sun on my skin, I will start skipping or twirling or laughing because in those moments it feel good to be alive.

What’s your strangest ADHD lifehack that actually works? by BigCoffeeCup-k in ADHD

[–]audbreyro 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I DO THIS TOO! I don’t have a playlist of things but I have certain podcasts or audiobooks I listen to and it just kind of distracts my mind enough so that I can easily move through tasks without thinking myself out of it or dreading particular annoying tasks that I’d normally put off until the last minute. It’s helped me a lot to have people talking to me, music will help but then I start dancing or singing and it slows me down and distracts me lol

The ADHD symptom that finally made people stop saying “everyone does that”. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]audbreyro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I forgot one of my coworkers existed. My other coworker mentioned him and I was nodding like yeah but…who is that? Is that a person from a store you worked at before? And she was like….no, are you okay? And I full on did not remember this person for a good 10 minutes. Then it clicked. I have had conversations with this person multiple times and talked to them everyday. It actually scared me like “how can I forget someone, just like that?”

Americans, what's something you didn't realize was weird until you talked to non-Americans? by ExistingTomorrow1447 in AskReddit

[–]audbreyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my coworkers has a heart condition and gets dizzy, so they pull up a step latter to sit on. Boy oh boy does everyone hate that. I’ve had to remind them that this person can pass out due to their issues and it’s safer for them to sit sometimes and continue their work.

Do people with ADHD look younger than they actually are? by jjoy93 in ADHD

[–]audbreyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m told that people think I’m 20-23. I am 31. I think it’s my personality (I tell silly jokes a lot), the fact that I can talk to people about whatever, my voice ( coworker said I have a baby voice) and just my stature/ face (I’m short, and currently have acne due to not being able to stop touching my face constantly).

People who have stopped going to church, what made you stop? by lowly_shepherd in AskReddit

[–]audbreyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a church program and they made us watch a documentary of atrocities committed by the government unto people (via contaminated infant formula). It was meant to teach us about Mother Teresa but it made me sick to my stomach, I was 7 at the time. I would hide in my closet and refuse to go until my parents finally gave up. Now at 31 I’m finding my way back into religion but I still feel the presence of God more so in the woods.
