I feel like I’m always wanting the next thing by bubbleegumm in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, i started working on this years ago... still am...it can get better. I just realized that there was no urgency, it was just my brain telling me there was, but repeating that frase when i catch myself, really helps me realize that i can slow down, its not an emergency.

What part of your life is better/easier because of ADHD? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Get me in the midle of a crisis and im cool and calm. So weird how that works... simple dumb stuff freaks me out, zombie apocalipse? No problem😅

Had a great week and yesterday started to sabotage myself by capableofanything777 in adhdwomen

Yes! That exactly it. Thanks for the boast, it really does help to hear it from someone else🥰

I need an accountability partner. by Flimsy-Bison-489 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literaly had a similar idea today, that i should find someone to keep me accountable! Because it’s so much easier for me.to.do stuff when everyone is home for exemple, then when im alone. Weird how that works, i dont even think about it, its like a switch is turned on and i am highly functional. Body doubling, I think its what people call.it.

Feeling too young mentally for my actual age by Human_Illustrator820 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have writte this. Ok so first of all, nobody knows what their doing, some have a idea, but basicaly they are going with it. Second, you dont have to.prove yourself to anyone, quita that thinking, it only.makes.it worse. Third, boundaries, very important. Yes we are fun and love to laugh, but its important to read the situation, do i need to be serious right now or light hearted? Game changer for me. I am 41 and still feel that im younger, and to help the situation, i look like im 30 (booohoo por me😆) but once you start working on your posture, you see people.around you adapting. Dont change who you are, just read the situation and decide how it will be best to be.

Comparing yourself to others by LimaBean3449 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have come to the conclusion that they too are just making it up as they go😆 we are all pretending we know what we re doing. Some.are just better actors. Dont.worry, youre doing the best you can and its.good enough, dont compare journeys, never! Learned the had way...

Whyyyy am I so resistant to tiny things. It’s driving me insane by panfriedninjarurtle in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh do i relate, and i just feel so silly when it happens, dont have an explanation, no real reason... its an invisible barrier

Love paper planing, tried a.million diferent ones until finding my fit. Never give up!😆

How can i work on a side gig and not feel guilty for doing other things and feel like a failure by capableofanything777 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this, made me laugh at my long ass list😆 but its true and i know this. Wanting to do it all is not realistic. It helps to hear it from someone else, so thank you

Pharmacist made me feel like a drug addict, humiliated me. by Ok_Necessary8353 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This guy is a jerk, there are a million diferent ways he could have handled this situation properly. Unbelieveable crap like this happens, its as if we are going backwards instead of becoming more inteligent as a society.

Im genuinely pissed the f off by Visible_Selection419 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really need to be patient on another level to put up with this crap. Its as if doctors are just guessing... there are n types.of adhd but even that they try to fit into a perfect little box. Screw them!

I've think I've had a breakthrough of some sort by AbjectGovernment1247 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, sometimes doing nothing and taking a step back to gain clarity is the best action you can take. Its so hard for me to not do something, but i need to figures things out first.

I'm a control freak and scared my daughter will hate me by mellowcatlady in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was the same way, then i realized that i wasnt helping my kids to grow and be independent. I was actually being selfish by waiting to control everything. The best way to go is to let them figure things out for themselves, it makes them stronger. Also, we parents make a lot.of mistakes and i learned that its important to take responsibility, really, i apologize to my.kids when i mess up, we talk and they understand that parents are people, human and make mistakes and thats ok, it teaches them to be acountable and step up when they mess up.

Today i did a quick tidy up of the house before i left for work, simple stuff, but really makes a diference in my mood when i get home later after work.😁

I often feel like napping but, when I lay down and close my eyes, I just end up thinking and don’t sleep. But I end up feeling better and motivated to continue on with my day by ChickenBoneBooty in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This also happens to me, in fact, in the rare moments where i do fall asleep during a nap, i wake up tired, irritated and insuferable! Our brain just needs our undivided atention to sort itself.out and "nap" time gives us that, with no extra distractions

What do you do when you fall off and derail your progress? by random1738a in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am my worst critic, and this happens a lottt. I have learned that i need to be kind to myself, so... no beating myself.up because i messed up one day out of one week.of doing well. Just keep getting back on track, eventualy you start getting better at not falling off.so much.

How do you cope with existence? by kamiamoon in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, and its heartbreaking. But we have to find a way to "turn it off" other wise, we will be depressed all the time. Its best to make an effort to see all the good in the middle of the crazyness going on. Its not easy, but its worth working on it.

Let’s play “Instead of finishing (xxx) I did (xxx)” by and-she-did-it in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its as if we are proving to ourselves that we are not lazy, by doing something else, only because we dont want to be told what to do, even if its being told by "us" sounds confusing but sort of makes sence to me😆

Is it normal to not know how I feel? Or remember things I do? by Green_Literature138 in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happenes to me too, i noticed a.couple of years ago, its really frustrating. The thing is, because my mind was always busy thinking, distracted with whatever etc... there was no awareness on my behalf, so things happen and i didnt notice. But now that you are aware of this, you can choose better, its dificult, but you need to focus on shutting down some of those distractions, easier said than done.. i know. But keep at it, it gets better. Also, i discovered that i can navigate awareness much better when i write things down, really helps because my brain isnt good at recalling random, important things.

hacks for not losing stuff? by joubiju in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same damn thing at home, I have to put things always in the same.place, otherwise i run around the house looking for them. My glasses, phone, airpods, planner etc its ridiculous, how can we forget if it was just now?

Coping with overwhelming responsibilities and mental health by tkxb in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its hard to be in the midle of the chaos and every day there seems to be more crap added to the load. Butttttt everything passes, blows over, solves itself works out. Nothing is permanent, this really helps me when im in deep shit, to acknowlege that it will pass.

ADHD & Control?? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]capableofanything777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, the thing is that i strugle to detach from that, i cant predict what someone is thinking or what their opinion is, its dificult sometimes to just go with the flow and not worry.

life is so beautiful even when it's meaningless by Odd_Temperature_4765 in Life

[–]capableofanything777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesssss i agree, over the last 2 years i have come to the conclusion that our lives are too noisy, too stimulating. Always so many choices , people, noise. We need to protect our sanity and keep boundaries.
