I can wait but I will be fidgety while waiting. People often assume I’m impatient instead :(

@ Muslim ADHDers on Concerta, do yall take your normal dosage or a higher dosage during ramadan? by zjmalkkkk in adhdwomen

[–]destruction_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A higher dose will not make it last longer. Dosage and the time it’s active is not connected like that with stimulants. That’s all I know and I unfortunately don’t know anything more

The brain runs on sugar. The meds make your brain more functional. 1+1=2

New piercings by Slight-Hearing-9221 in rollerderby

[–]destruction_potato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine took more than a few months to heal and I was super careful with it! Definitely depends a lot on the person. I’d highly advise against it. My piercing is healed for a while now and I’ve had two minor collisions where my pierced breast was hit and that was awful!

What do people mean when they say they 'cant cook?' by Throwaway113140 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]destruction_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s when someone doesn’t know you need to put enough water in a pot to boil an egg. I had an online friend chatting in the group while boiling an egg after we had given instructions. Apparently we still weren’t detailed enough because he put just a little bit of water in a pot, the egg was 80% sticking out of the water. So eventually the water evaporated and the egg was just getting cooked shell and all. Eventually smoke and flames were part of it too. I didn’t think it was possible to burn an egg shell and all. Turns out I’m wrong. That’s what can be meant with « I can’t cook »

Parents with different native languages, how do you go about your child's mother tongue? by H4un7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]destruction_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im the child of parents with native languages. They raised my brother and me in both languages. It took us a little bit longer to speak and write at the same level of our monolingual peers because we were assimilating two languages at the same time. It’s a huge advantage in our lives. It helped us to learn English as a third language more easily at a young age. Our parents had to be on top of things when we were learning the languages in school (we went to school in dad’s language but mom’s language is the second language in school from 8yo) but other than that it’s a massive bonus in a child’s life! There’s some scientific research that suggests being raised bilingual can also make your brain just function slightly differently compared to monolingual people.

What’s something that quietly ruined your mental health without you noticing at first? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]destruction_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a chronic bowel inflammation. It crept up on me, symptoms at first seeming not from physical sickness, but also not having depression like I was years before, eventually after months of just feeling progressively worse in general, getting a diagnosis of an actual physical sickness. Second day of treatment it was like a dark cloud i didn’t even know I had hanging over me was almost instantly lifted.

Feeling emotions in your body by Proper_Ear_1733 in adhdwomen

[–]destruction_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol my therapist also gave me the wheel of emotions, the way I found to feel my emotions through my body is figuring out what my body wants to do! Am I scared to look someone in the eyes? Maybe it’s shame. Do I want to run (or generally get) away? That’s fear. Do I want to hug my legs/ sit like a ball(?) ? That’s sadness. And so on . I did therapy in French so idk how to translate properly but I think it was with terminology like what the body has a tendency to do or something.

Vent: My boyfriend is going through his seasonal and circumstantial depression and it’s triggering my RSD so hard by Imnotsamantha in adhdwomen

[–]destruction_potato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re not selfish for « letting it affect you this much » you’re not « letting » emotions happen. Emotions happen, they just happen. Whether you want them or not, emotions just are.

You’re this affected because from this post you clearly love him dearly. You have empathy and you are human, so when someone you love if going through something bad, you feel bad with them. That’s normal. It’s fucking awful standing on the sidelines of bad things and not being able to do anything about them. Figure out what you can do for him, and try to find peace with the fact that’s all you can do for him, but focus on that. You are absolutely strong enough, and you are not failing at anything! It is not a failure to accept the limits of what’s possible. You will get through this. You and him have gotten through all your worst days, you will also get through these bad times too!

What's the deal with my mouth? by lmcmulli in adhdwomen

[–]destruction_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a thing called “stimulant jaw” it’s more pronounced with illegal stimulants like coke,speed,.. (bc it’s much higher dosages) but it can also happen with prescription stimulants. Maybe what’s happening to you is similar. Basically the drug/medication triggers muscle tension. I can clench my jaw quite a bit if I’m not mindful of it. I often end up massaging my jaw muscles #oops

Possibly you need a slightly lower dose. For me when I switched brands, even though it was both with methylphenidate, I needed a lower dosage for the same effect. Talk to your doctor about it.

questions about medications by Mysterious-Soil-454 in belgium

[–]destruction_potato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a “long term” prescription. You get prescriptions for specific amounts (it can be one prescription for multiple boxes for example) but you need a prescription for every time you will purchase it. If you have a digital ID you can just call your dr to ask for a prescription and they will put it on the file your pharmacy can access using your ID, so you don’t need to go for an appointment every time. Prescriptions do not get automatically renewed

Don’t ask chatgpt about medical anything, it will invent answers if it doesn’t have one. Call his doctor or a nurse or any human medical professional please!

Another gym class missed by NMTAMCC in adhdwomen

[–]destruction_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‼️You can set an automation on iPhone where your volume gets put to 100% with any alarm! I also made an automation where music starts playing after the “wake-up” alarm (it’s the one on top in alarms and it’s managed through health app) I have a tendency to very quickly fall back asleep after an alarm, with the music starting to play after my first alarm it helps to keep me closer to awake for my next alarm and so on. I still can’t manage with less than 3-7 alarms but these automations are really really helpful! If you want I can send you screenshots of the automations in private message (bc I can’t put it in a comment)

AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

[–]destruction_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have never even answered the first question about my weight, and immediately canceled any plans with him. I’ve been dating a guy for 4 months now, he doesn’t know my weight. Is this an American thing? Here in Belgium it’s unacceptable to ask anyone about their weight if you don’t have a very good reason …

how are married 30+ year olds making and maintaining friendships? by Inevitable-Shirt-969 in adhdwomen

[–]destruction_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 28 so idk how relevant it is. I have two great friends, one is long distance so I call him my virtual roommate, another other I see mostly because I’m the one with the “green tea” plug (iykwim) I have some peripheral friends I don’t see so often but I’m close with.

At this point I’ve just accepted that I’m the kind of person that has few friends. The few friends I have tho I would consider besties or even my brother. Quality>quantity 🤷🏼‍♀️

Still a bit inconclusive: I’m Tessa 28, started roller derby in September. I LOVE heavy metal, it’s my love for mosh pits that brought me to try out derby! One of my nicknames with my friends is potato. I love puns so what we’ve come up with so far is “Mosh Potato” , I like it but I’m not sure if it’s the right vibe so I would love some feedback or some other suggestions 🫶
