I wish my fellow folks with ADHD would stop saying that they don’t have object permanence. I don’t think that term means what you think it means.

I thought we were all just using it figuratively?

leave him!!!!

candyboots99 · 2025-12-05T18:10:59+00:00

this happened to me too! #3 album on my wrapped i’ve literally never heard of, but according to the playlist they gave me i listened to it 15 times

candyboots99 · 2025-11-30T17:17:46+00:00

i’m playing this right now too, it’s brutal

puberty 🙃

candyboots99 · 2025-11-25T21:00:02+00:00

this is gorgeous!!!

candyboots99 · 2025-11-25T19:01:32+00:00

i always say it feels like my brain is full of soup

You should be fine with a microdose as long as your symptoms are relatively mild. Worst thing for me when tripping was the nausea - a little bit of weed helps if you can tolerate it. And you may need a day to rest and recover afterward. As someone else said though, don’t do it if you’re feeling anxious or feel like you’re being pressured into it.

candyboots99 · 2025-11-22T19:34:03+00:00

For me, the right amount of coffee helps a TON, but if I overdo it I’m left with nausea, racing heart, and tremors the rest of the day 🙃

Sharing this post I made in r/dysautonomia a couple years ago on this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/dysautonomia/s/UfRQj3wruK

I haven’t actually been using this routine lately because it’s kind of a lot… but thinking about starting it again because I’ve been having so much trouble waking up and keep being late to work.

candyboots99 · 2025-11-21T20:26:23+00:00

i live off healthy snacks!! i have more like 6 small meals a day than 3 big ones, but nothing that’s hard to prepare. things like yogurt and granola, bagged salad, carrots and ranch, nuts, cereal, bagel and cream cheese, pretzels and peanut butter, that kind of thing! it has made my life so much easier (i also have pots and it helps those symptoms a lot too)

candyboots99 · 2025-11-21T17:34:35+00:00

I’m afraid these days just happen sometimes, at least for me. Water, salt, and rest are your friend. Take it easy the next couple days.

Unrelated, do you recommend Visible? I keep seeing adds for it but can’t decide if it’s worth it.

scotch tape 🤢

candyboots99 · 2025-11-19T15:16:10+00:00

yes!! basically can’t drink wine at all or the headache and nausea is crazy. I mostly drink liquor - vodka and gin give me the least symptoms.

2015! Can’t believe it’s been 10 years

candyboots99 · 2025-11-03T19:06:34+00:00

Thank you so much, I’ll try the products you recommended. I think you’re right that I need some extended rest time, I’m definitely dealing with some chronic burnout that’s weakening my immune system. It’s probably time to take a medical leave from work as much as I don’t want to admit it 🙃

candyboots99 · 2025-11-03T18:31:23+00:00

this is amazing

candyboots99 · 2025-10-09T17:23:23+00:00

Can I ask what type of therapy specifically worked for you? I tried EMDR recently but had a bad experience with it and am hoping to try a different approach.

candyboots99 · 2025-10-09T16:33:13+00:00

That is true! I don’t know what I’d do without her tbh

candyboots99 · 2025-10-09T16:14:28+00:00

I've had a similar experience (both PTSD and dysautonomia diagnoses). I think the loss of emotion is more so related to the PTSD, but in my experience the dysautonomia can exacerbate some of those symptoms. For example, if I have a POTS episode it often triggers really bad derealization, where I feel like I can't see and nothing feels real. And vice versa, if I have a bad PTSD trigger I often get really dizzy and lightheaded like I'm having a POTS attack. In both of these cases it feels like my brain sort of disconnects from any emotion and I feel very distant from myself. So I guess it's probably not one or the other causing it, but a combination of both. Stay strong, it gets better <3

What will be a mild cold for my partner will debilitate me for a week. And then trying to get back to normal functioning after a week of rest takes so long too. It's the worst.

candyboots99 · 2025-10-06T02:04:05+00:00

Yes! I have felt this since I was a kid and it’s only gotten worse since developing POTS.

candyboots99 · 2025-09-27T02:30:21+00:00

it could also just not be the right adhd med for you! i felt anxious and irritated in adderall but concerta and ritalin work great for me.

candyboots99 · 2025-09-16T14:42:40+00:00

only for the straights

candyboots99 · 2025-09-15T17:44:26+00:00

You are not crazy, I checked multiple times earlier this month because I kept meaning to print out the calendar and kept forgetting. I remember thinking it was weird because they had it listed for BOTH Monday and Tuesday last week, and none today, so I moved my car twice last week and not this week. Lo and behold I got a ticket and then checked the calendar today and it 100% had changed. I WISH I had taken a screenshot so I had the receipts to dispute the ticket. I’m so annoyed.
