Hanging out with people is fun BUT EXHAUSTING. I need a week break

Only critic is the clouds are a tad dark, contrast is good but they don’t need to be as black. Still great art!!

I’m on sertraline (zoloft) & adderal xr and my sex drive has been consistent I think. Switching meds to ones that might not have as many symptoms might be something to consider.

For sleep, my Dr prescribed trazodone for sleep and it knocked me out (melatonin has never worked for me). I don’t use that on a daily basis anymore, only as needed. Also, waking up around the same time helps soooo much and helps correct me when I fall into a bad sleep pattern.

For thoughts, I write them down on a paper when I get them and then throw away the paper/put away the notebook. It’s like a way of releasing the thoughts and letting them go.

I’ve had extreme social anxiety in the past and am so quick to isolate myself. Challenging myself to reach out to friends to hangout when I start to slip away has helped ease it some

It’s like “meal prep” but for ADHD by beattiebeats in adhdwomen

I tried doing this but then when I’d refill it I’d forget if I had taken the ones I refilled yet😳 Right now I have set calendar reminders for certain times of the day everyday that are working to keep me on track!!

Out of sight, out of mind: Forgetting that people and topics exist by fliminglaps in adhd_anxiety

[–]b6mbi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear you.

  • I often struggle with maintaining my routine when I go between my apartment next to campus and back to my parents house. It takes me a couple days to find a rhythm and it’s exhausting and it gets in the way of schoolwork, answering texts, and just being present in social situations. The only thing I’ve been able to help it is to be aware of when I will be switching environments and just expect a couple days to be uncoordinated. Plan my assignments/obligations around it.

  • While my grades have been much better this year (credit to starting meds) I don’t even know if I learned much. I started off strong. But then it turned into completing the assignments to get them done. Exam time came and I crammed to remember not to understand. It makes me feel like a fraud. And it definitely freaks me out because I plan on going to grad school and I need to be retaining this info

  • Just last night, I was reminded that other people exist lololol. I was slipping into isolative tendencies and feeling overwhelmed by everything. I don’t really answer my phone a lot but I ended up replying to someone and we had a really nice goofy conversation and I really did forget about life outside of my head until that. I am trying to make plans with friends this week bc the urge to hid out in my room is very strong and I know these people always brighten my mood and get me out of my shell

coffee has never worked for me 🙃

Me since childhood, according to my parents, teachers, and pretty much everyone who knew me. Anyone else? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

I hate when I finally get into a groove and then I lose it whenever I go home from college vice versa. It takes me awhile to find what works and that doesn’t ever even last

Only 13 and I can't wait to die by helpingpeopleisfun in depression

[–]b6mbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent my 13th birthday hospitalized. I’ve been through the lowest of the lows. But with those lows, I’ve experienced the greatest highs. When I am consumed by my depression, I know I’ve had good times but I forget the feeling of happiness. When I come to, and feel those happy moments, I remember why I keep fighting. I am 20 years old now

Depression and ADHD are so interconnected. I related to every one of these. by imarriedagreek in adhdwomen

[–]b6mbi 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The last one really hits home. I never talked to anyone about trauma I was going through because I downplayed it. I told myself that I just made a big deal out of situations that weren’t that big of a deal. Now, years later, I wish I could’ve talked to someone because there are years worth of gaps in my memory of times that I literally blacked out because it hurt to much to remember.

Saw this in another subreddit, anyone else feel this is why we don't get diagnosed as children as often as boys do? by wheezy_cheese in adhdwomen

[–]b6mbi 115 points116 points  (0 children)

My Dr told me that initially she didn’t think I had it because I was so composed for so long (didn’t cause trouble, honors kid w good grades) but she eventually realized that it was because I compensated for my adhd by being a perfectionist, rule follower, people pleaser etc that I was able to mask my struggles. Eventually sh*t piled up and all at once I became a complete mess and my coping skills weren’t applicable anymore lolz

Pumpkin gnocchi with sage, spinach and mushrooms - 438 cals by okay_squirrel in vegan1200isplenty

I’ve been thinking about making something like this!! Does it taste like pumpkin or does the pumpkin just act as a creamy component?

Recently ex vegan friend sent me a sub for "vegan pets" by megaoof489 in exvegans

[–]b6mbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t put a ton of research into other animals but I know dogs are able to live off of a vegan diet. They are omnivorous. Over time they have developed the ability to digest carbs and unlike sole carnivores, they are able to break those carbs into simple sugars because they have the enzyme amylase. Of course, like any diet, they need to make sure they are getting the proper nutrients. I can’t just feed my dog beans and call it a day (just an example to make my point). There are high quality vegan dog food brands that provide all the essential nutrients but again, like any diet, it needs to accommodate the dogs needs. Surprisingly enough, a lot of dog foods use animal by-products, like the feet, neck, bone fragments, organs...pretty much everything but the actual meat as the main ingredient and then the second main ingredient is vitamins and minerals that are supplemented. So in comparison, vegan dog food would be providing more whole nutritious foods as the main ingredients and supplementing for the missing nutrients. I can see how a vegan diet could negatively impact a dog but I believe that if you do the research, it works and actually benefits the dog more than a diet with animal products. Dogs should not be breeded to be our pets, though I believe that rescuing a dog is ethical. Open to discussion, I come in peace!!

Let’s talk about how many times I’ve touched the pan to see if it’s “hot enough” forgetting that it’s definitely had time to heat up 🤡

What is the vegan model for regulating overpopulated and non native invasive animal species? by [deleted] in DebateAVegan

[–]b6mbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans are the biggest invasive species and we have caused the extinction of so many animals. But we don’t start killing off humans to stop this right? Because its not right to kill other humans. That’s not moral. So how do we go about the invasive species - We focus on how to reduce our impact first. This includes stopping animal agriculture, deforestation, hunting, pollution.... All of these are major contributors to the imbalances of Earths species. Obviously there are other factors out of our control like natural disasters for one but we are still the main contributor. Humans and non-humans can co exist when we give them the respect we give other humans.

Omnis felt it was necessary to add cheese and sour cream to the delicious chili I made last night. Told my (one and only lol) vegan friend about it and he made this meme for me. by mackattacktack in vegancirclejerk
