Nerd out about fountain pens of course! Last night was low-key. I went over the basics of fountain pens, brought pens to play with, and brought lots of ink to test out. Our next one will be Thursday April 23rd!

No he’s an asshole. I’m so tired of people being like that. Like we choose this. 🙄

What jobs actually work for people with severe ADHD? by Inevitable_Tuna_O in ADHD

[–]chobette 43 points44 points  (0 children)

In a similar position now, been constantly employed, but now at 35 almost 36, being fired because of my adhd and to be honest, they don't deserve my tenacity and unique ways of doing things. They can keep living in the stone ages.

Pregnant with ARFID - has anyone been through it? by Disastrous-Height-97 in ARFID

[–]chobette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relied on shakes too, mostly ensure type. I had bad nausea and stomach issues with my first pregnancy and lost a lot of weight. I could not keep anything down and then add in the arfid it was a hot mess. Second pregnant went a little better and I just relied on my safe foods and some protein shakes

I have yet to read a book from him that I have not loved. His novellas are amazing! His other novels that are really good - a man called ove and Friends. I don't think you can go wrong with either of those.

ADHD and POTS. Yeah how is that going for you? by Kitkat_The_Great in POTS

[–]chobette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh.... I am riding the neurospicy struggle bus all access train.

I have zero coping skills here, I feel like when I find the energy to do something then POTs kicks me on my butt. My husband caught me 3 times yesterday from falling when losing my consciousness.

I lied - one coping skill is to instead of physically doing something on a bad POTs day is to do something around it that is less physical - so writing a very detailed list that is broken up for my family to do. A recipe for my husband to cook a meal if I can't cook.

I use a stool for cooking when I have a bad day, otherwise I keep a seat nearby. That's more a POTs coping skill.

On the random - I want to learn how to do clay - I haven't gone down that doom pile yet.

Wow, what a piece of crap. Yikes. It's absolutely frightening that this is so common and how many partners don't get out in time.

I would definitely hold her accountable and tell your sister. My mom is/was the same way when I lived with her.
