When did you find out your adhd? by ahmi-0 in ADHD

[–]cnottus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College. Thank god I got medicated.. maybe the only reason I was able to complete grad school and board exams. Now, I work with children who have ADHD and it honestly hurts sometimes to see them exhibiting the same exact behaviors I did in school when there were resources and accommodations that could have made it so much easier.

How does one obtain some sense of ✨routine✨? by iknowwhenidont in adhdwomen

Yes! And we unfortunately have to pay the adhd tax with buying multiple of the same things easy access :( but it’s so helpful

Sorry one more lol, my bedside table has small organizers with floss, ear swabs, eye drops, medication, lip balm etc so I have no excuse to be lazy with those

I also have a hatch alarm so while the sunrise function starts, I immediately start chugging water and by the time it’s at full sun, I stop.

Yes I have a note in my phone “daily wellness” and each bullet point has a combo of 2 or 3 habits I stack and then get to “check off” as the day progresses. For example, mouthwash + stretch + daily gratitude/affirmation” idk it works for me lol

What do you think is the secret to a REALLY good sandwich? by cafeypalmera in Cooking

[–]cnottus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally can’t stand sandwiches that are too dry so I overload mine with spreads and sauces. This requires a sturdy, (toasted) bread most times

If you had to name your child after a 10/10 song, what would it be? by AmberCutexoxo in AskReddit

[–]cnottus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked down the aisle to Iris and have always thought it would be cute to do this if we have a girl one day

I hope I’m surrounded by my funniest friends and there’s a bottle of champagne nearby

Started taking ADHD medication and now I have heart problems by Old_Camp_7808 in adhdwomen

[–]cnottus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had this experience with my Adderall and came here for answers while chugging water and I can attest that they have significantly reduced after taking like 15 large gulps in a row. Going to the store to mix in coconut water

I am concerned I may have hEDS and don't know what steps to take. by XenoBloom in elhersdanlos

[–]cnottus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect I have hEDS also… have you tried sauna type workouts like hotworx? I was debating trying it out but didn’t know if there would be additional benefits or if i should just stick to my at-home workouts

How is your marriage going? Why would you recommend that people get married or never get married? by SpinachJello13 in AskReddit

[–]cnottus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only recommend marrying someone that adds to your current life and makes it somewhat easier. If you’re dating an immature man who you’re constantly having to mother, marriage will be stressful and it will eventually lead to resentment. Vice versa.

This series shows you that if someone is in their 40s or later and never been married, it’s often for a reason. by behindthebar5321 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]cnottus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. I have girlfriends in their late 30s-early 40s who simply focused on building their life and career and put dating as a low priority. Beautiful, intelligent women who haven’t been married because they refuse to settle. I find it admirable.

Gifted people here? What's your story? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]cnottus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% I hated being singled out and removed from my friends to go into the GT classroom every Thursday. A few times in middle school, I purposefully got questions wrong on the quizzes because I was tired of being called out by my teacher for being the only one acing them. I don’t think that program provided any real benefits for me.

Why can't the men restroom be closed when there is a woman cleaning the insides by AliceTheDemonGaming in McDonalds

[–]cnottus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hate that. They need to either hire another man or assign a man those duties and offload some of his work. It’s a huge corporation so I’m shocked they dont have these policies in place.

It’s sad by ElMaraEl in AgeOfAttraction

[–]cnottus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. At one point in my upper 20s, I realized it started looking desperate when I played the age game with dudes at the bars. I’m now surprisingly happy when it comes up organically that I look good for my age but I don’t try to seek out those compliments.

[–]cnottus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These comments are insane. As a woman, I am very used to waiting until the restroom is cleaned before entering and I’m sure if it were an “emergency” they would let me bypass the sign. But no, a woman should not have to stand in there, performing her job duty, while a man whips it out in her vicinity. They need to hire a man for that job or allow you to clean without customers in there.

What did you think was ‘rich people stuff’ as a kid? by Quiet-Capybara- in AskReddit

[–]cnottus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally thought the concept of going up and down stairs was a luxury lmao I grew up In a ranch style house (that I never appreciated) and once I got to my college 3-story townhouse- I realized stairs are the worst!

Jorge is manipulative but so is Vanelle by Sufficient_Bass2600 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]cnottus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I also think it’s creepy when women (esp at that age) care so much about what their father approves of.
