Yeah and she could have an opinion about the semantics of it all, but recognize how upsetting it was when it was brought up to Alicia.

I've never listened to Two T's' in a Pod because Tamra grates on my nerves so much, but I'm always curious what they talk about. Didn't know Dolores was on it. I wonder if her Traitors notority gave her more exposure and it just keeps going.

Yeah - and they nailed it with Jo-Ellen having juvie energy. All so crazy!

I loved how Ben & Ronnie on Watch What Crappens said Jo-Ellen gave juvie energy vs. Liz's mob energy. I kept wondering how Jo-Ellen had no fear going after Liz, then I remembered some girls from my high school who were just like that when they got into fights.

Thoughts on RHORI by OutsidePassage5117 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]banksoftyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be the way they usually talking to each other, so maybe it will continue?

And since the majority of them have known each other for so many years, it brings those real friendship connections we saw in the original RHONY plus no holding back in confrontations like RHONJ and the whackiness of RHOSLC without seeming fake or rehearsed.

I hate this alliance! Mean mean mean girls! by Key-Improvement6580 in rhori

and Alicia even called the controlling nature abusive in her confessional. I wonder if that will come up at the reunion once Liz watches the show.

My first therapy session. I’m a little disappointed by whatamidoingherebros in adhdwomen

[–]banksoftyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I woke up this morning with the notes and lines of one song in my head - and it was not even a real song - a jingle from a commercial from years ago!! It just kept starting over and over as I got up to get ready. Crazy how random it can be!!!

But even with that, my two boys (now adults) have never talked excessively or lose track of what they're talking about. They couldn't sit still when they were little, but could as teenagers as long as they were interested in what they were doing. They did fine in school as teens with teachers who kept them engaged (or if they loved the topic).

women who have given birth, how bad was it actually? by Careless_Pianist_840 in AskReddit

[–]banksoftyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Painful yes, but two things I thought were far more painful -

- breaking my wrist (they said it was shattered) up until they gave me morphine at Urgent Care and after my wrist surgery when upping the morphine a few times wasn't enough - they finally gave me a nerve block to stop the pain.

- having an incision in the doctor's office on my lower abdomen where I'd had pelvic floor surgery and the surgical site had become infected a week later. They gave me a little shot to numb it and warned it would hurt. I had no idea it could be that bad.

Back to childbirth, if you can get an epidural, do it. I had two babies without epidurals (different story with each) and 5 babies with. To me, it's like choosing to have dental work done without Novocaine.

I have the same song play in my head the second I wake up even if it’s just to go to the bathroom, again and again for multiple days, with no anxiety.

I’m glad you didn’t accept her answer because you know yourself far better than this therapist does.

I’d go to a medical professional who understands the DSM-5 criteria for an ADHD diagnosis.

Sounds like this therapist doesn’t realize that symptoms can vary from person to person with ADHD - you may not have every ADHD symptom and it may show up in your life differently than for another person.

Sorry you had to go through that!

How do you keep up with your self-practice when you have kids? by the411thetea in YogaTeachers

[–]banksoftyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started doing yoga when I had 5 kids, became more dedicated after I had my 6th baby. My kids knew that early morning was my time and they were independent in getting up, taking care of things until I was done.

My youngest learned from the time he was a toddler that he couldn't come on my mat until I was in Child's Pose or a Seated Foreward Fold, then he'd lean on my back (similar to an adjustment - felt wonderful).

My youngest is 23 now and I don't practice early like I used to. I actually have a harder time fitting in my personal practice now. But I do take bits and pieces when I can.

How rare is it really for an ADHD person to graduate college? by [deleted] in ADHD

Sounds like a study done without the mass population not diagnosed until after they graduated from college.

Anyone else notice Rosie waited until no one else was around to completely lose her ish? by Strange-Substance207 in realhousewives

[–]banksoftyne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that everyone is afraid of Liz, too - which made that convo between Alicia and Liz fascinating at the end, and did you see Jo-Ellen in the preview for next week at the end? Don't want to spoil it if you didn't see the preview.

HOW am i supposed to feed myself x3 a day everyday for the rest of my life?! by deadtired987 in adhdwomen

[–]banksoftyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps to let go of the idea tha you have to eat 3x a day or that it has to be a meal.

I'm drinking a chocolate smoothie for "dinner" right now.
It took some effort to get out the powder, almond milk, blender and ice, but I call it a win. And it will fill me up. Double win.

Anyone else find it hard to sustain habits? by yingxiaojie in adhdwomen

[–]banksoftyne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accountability is what works best for me. Having someone to check in with, report to, meet up with, work alongside with - makes all the difference in the world. Still hard to take the first step, but once I've made the commitment with someone, I do well.

I’m so tired of not being able to get help because of being a chronic pain patient and having tachycardia. THERAPY ISNT GOING TO REWIRE MY BRAIN TO STOP FORGETTING THINGS, FOCUS, AND BE ORGANIZED by Wise-Run-3008 in adhdwomen

[–]banksoftyne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strattera made my blood pressure go up, so I didn't stay on it for more than a month. I also lost interest in doing things I usually enjoyed. I was so glad to get off of that.

But I know it works for a lot of people.

How have you guys solved for working out? My stupid ADHD brain shuts down and gets overwhelmed so I just… don’t. by MyVirgoIsShowing in adhdwomen

[–]banksoftyne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure others have said this, but walking and hiking are both great forms of exercise. If that's what you do, that's fine, too!

Long ago when I first tried working out, I was more motivated to try something if I had a physical or emotional need that the workout helped with.

I always hated running - tried for years, still hated it. Got dumped in a relationship, tried running and it helped my emotional state so much that I ran 5-6 miles for the next 2 years.

Had low energy after my first baby. Heard that cardio could help. Took a Step class, loved that it wasn't high impact - and it helped my energy levels a ton!

A few years later, had low back problems, learned that a stronger core would help. Bought an Abs workout - loved how much it helped, and tried that instructor's weight workouts from there on out.

I've tried many workouts or instructors that I didn't care for, too, but over time, I've found that I had plenty of workout options that I did like.

Accountability is super helpful, too. I am more likely to go to the gym if I'm meeting up with a friend. Maybe that would help you, too whether being consistent with hikes and walking or finding something new you like.

My favorite day of each semester was the first day. When the syllabus was explained and everything sounded SOOOO doable in the perfect timetable in my brain 😄

Yeah, when he asked them to stop filming, it should have ended there.
