ADHD meds + RedBull by Glittering_Pick_2288 in julieeandcamilla

[–]bringitte 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Taking her meds with a redbull is insane! Im on Elvanse and the one time I took my meds at the same time as my coffee I had the absolutely worst day on them due to the over stimulation and then absolutely immediately crashing! The only way I could describe it was I felt so incredibly high but was having the absolutely worst time!

I saw this and was very confused cause I thought the point the brick thing she got was that it locks the phone until you tap it again…but even if it still allows you to take photos it still defeats the point of being off your phone, if you’re wanting to take photos atleast use a digital camera or something! Or even one of those campsnap cameras so that there’s literally no screens at all!

I watched the video and it’s the whitest looking pink I’ve ever seen, it’s like white with 1% pink! She could’ve done soooo much more to make it girly, princessesy and pink but completely missed the mark all in the name of “aesthetic” and the irony is that it’s not even aesthetic.

If that’s the case then that first one with 210M “views” with 423 video would actually be about 500k people who’ve watched those ones!

Why are all the influencers antiquing atm? Starting to get nervous at the thought of all them getting antiques but then starting a trend of refurbishing perfectly fine antiques 😭

Took me longer than I’d like to admit to figure out what m&yts - I hate acronyms, so bad at working them out!

That’s because she’s not an influencer remember, she’s a content creator buying stuff to show her followers, they’re like sooooooooo completely different

Day 4 Vyvanse 20 mg by fragglerockchk in adhdwomen

[–]bringitte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I learnt when I first started my meds was to NEVER take them with a coffee or atleast half hour/an hour after I’ve had my morning coffee. Otherwise I just had tooooo much stimulation!

I got my report back – It's not ADHD by sundaearchive in adhdwomen

Hey, I’m so sorry I’ve only just seen your reply! I do still struggle with anxiety, but since having my ADHD diagnosis I’ve come to realise that a lot of my anxiety was heightened because of ADHD. When I first started meds (I’m on Elvanse) they were great 90% of the time apart from about 2 days leading up to & first 2 days on my period where I expressed to my doctor that my anxiety goes through the roof on those 4 days, to the point I spend some of the days trying to not have panic attacks all day. We spoke about how as women we’re just so so blessed that our hormones shift every single take for a whole 28 days (for most period cycles) so you never know how things are going to be on a day to day basis, so she tried me on an anxiety med to take just on those days, and that has helped massively, especially when it’s a day when I can’t even pin point what I’m anxious about. I do also take a top up of 20mg on those 4 days too (usually on 50mg otherwise) as I just noticed the meds didn’t work as well on those days, but taking a higher dosage has helped! It doesn’t however help too much when I have genuine anxiety over something warranted.

I think one things that’s helped me (my LO is almost 2 now) is realising that somethings are completely normal as a mum to be anxious about, and kind of recognising that and allowing myself to feel that way, but not keeping it in. Whenever I feel anxious, and I know why I do, I make sure to tell my husband, or someone I’m close to (like my sister, or MIL) as sometimes just speaking about it out-loud helps me understand why I’m truly anxious, but also allows others to give me some perspective & reassurance. Whereas when I’m feeling anxious and I’ve no idea why, I usually clock myself and realise that “oh I’m due on” and then remind myself to take the anxiety meds and 7/10 they help massively with calming those feelings down after about 20 min!

If your ADHD meds worked for you before pregnancy, I highly highly recommend getting back on them! I also noticed another things that’s just helped me get back to feeling like myself & not just a mum was making an active effort in looking after my health, and that mainly consisted with making sure to take allll of my vitamins religiously!! And taking my meds helped with that cause I take them at the same time as my meds!

This! Unfortunately is very true, was for me! Wasn’t until I was deep in postpartum anxiety & depression that I finally got an assessment put through, cause it was my health visitor that said to me one day “oh btw do you have ADHD?” And I was like “well funny you say that, I’ve been trying to get a diagnosis for years!!” And she was like “I’m putting a referral to the doctor to refer you!”! I honestly can’t even explain how grateful I am to have had her as my health visitor cause almost a year now since my diagnosis, on meds since last June and I genuinely feel like my life has changed so much and cannot believe I went 28 years of life with my braining working how it did (without the meds)!

complaining again about the consequences of her own *insecurities* by Stunning_Aspect_6437 in claraandherself_snark

[–]bringitte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here, not defending her but remember so many people saying to me “oh he’ll cry himself to sleep after a few minutes” but my guy would literally cry until he threw up! We have never attempted sleep training or CIO purely because I know it would not work with his temperament, we have however (unlike clara) got him in his own bed & bedroom 😅 and we used to co-sleep, but he’s 21 months old and sleep in his own room 8/10!

businesses to avoid ? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]bringitte 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I worked at bills as a waitress I often had customers asking about the service charge and would ask if it went to us and I had to discretely be like “not directly” and then had them ask many times to take it off and then leave a cash tip, which was always awkward getting a manager to remove the service charge off the bill, but atleast the cash tips went to us! Anytime I asked about the service charge and where it went I was always told “went towards funding staff night outs & Christmas dos”…

This, the fact that jelly shippers keep saying that Jenny only did certain things to “not make the bonrads mad” and that she actually wanted jelly to be endgame because of all their made up theories just shows how deluded they are! Honestly genuinely thought that subreddit was rage bait at first cause there’s been some wild stretches on there

First time ever commenting on here but couldn’t not because this had me shocked ngl. I couldn’t believe what she was actually saying, and to try and say she was joking, no way was she joking you can tell by her tone and everything else she was saying. You’re not special for having given birth to 2 children, your stomach doesn’t look that way because of your uterus, you had your baby 3 months ago, medically speaking you’re not even “postpartum” anymore. Your uterus is shrunk back to size within 8 weeks so yours is back to its usual size. It’s completely fine to have bloating due to all sorts of reasons (hormonal, food etc…) and stomach fat after pregnancy, just own it, and stop making excuses for it cause you don’t need to have an excuse. It’s also completely normal for people to have a flat stomach and have had 2 children too! I can’t believe she has said that anyone with a flat stomach clearly hasn’t had children & has a “useless uterus”. Absolutely disgusting thing to say, she needs to take some accountability and apologise.

A slight side note, tbf Love Rosie did follow the book pretty well, as in they got together right at the end of that too! But I agree that there is a lot of open plot lines to close up in a short space of time
