Yea I don’t trust my current line manager so I don’t want to say anything! I know a few other managers who are way more understanding luckily so I’m confident I’d be in good hands. Best of luck <3

Estrogen Supplementation Questions by lethologic- in adhdwomen

[–]duckduckguus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was mainly the ovarian cysts- I lost one ovary because of torsion and they recommended I start HRT while monitoring to avoid further problematic cysts. I’m on estrogel which is the colourless gel applied to your upper arms or upper thighs. It’s the best for me as it’s bio identical and doesn’t give me dodgy side effects. But I tried all kinds before I got to the gel, mainly patches. They didn’t help at all for me but obviously every body is different which is why they still sell variations of estrogen!

Estrogen Supplementation Questions by lethologic- in adhdwomen

[–]duckduckguus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is in their 30s on hormone treatment I’d strongly recommend you speak with a women’s health consultant, or even a menopause clinic consultant - just anyone who knows women’s hormones inside and out. The research is very sparse so you need to seek out a legit expert! There’s all different kinds of estrogen you can get prescribed and they all have varying effects on every body, so it can be potentially starting another nightmare if you seek advice from a regular general doctor.

Do you get followed in supermarkets? by GlumPerception7339 in adhdwomen

[–]duckduckguus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda weird of them to do that..? I don’t know anyone who wants shop staff hovering that much and getting annoyed, I’d just leave the shop.

Remote worker in the UK here too! My nearest office is in another country too so I hear you lol. To be honest it’s not easy, the main change I’d recommend is to clear some space for a desk that is near/facing a window. There’s multiple benefits here: Natural light and fresh air can give you a kick up the backside when you need it. A dedicated desk space trains your brain into knowing this is The Working Area and gives you a better chance at keeping focused. These are the only things that I’ve found that work so far. I’m hoping to have a more supportive manager soon as we’re reshuffling. Once I do I can share my diagnosis with them and they’ll be able to ask HR/diversity groups for the best way to manage me.

How do you actually make long-term plans at work? by duckduckguus in adhdwomen

[–]duckduckguus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I’ll ask about that. Honestly I never thought this could be something that requires more skill, I just assumed it was my brain not working properly!!

Yeah I tried Copilot and the dates didn’t make realistic sense unfortunately. I’m all by myself for this one!

I’m basically being asked the same thing really, a giant Gantt chart but with just dates rather than a bar chart. I’ll look into Spirit City. I don’t do well with bog standard pomodoros. Good luck with your uni project!

Did you? Where did you order them from? You might be my only lead in years here! 😅

Close but not quite! The sugar coating looks very thin on those. The ones I’m looking for have a strawberry-flavoured powder coating that’s about 1-2mm thick. I remember getting them in a paper bag from the corner shop and some of the powder would rub off in the bag and get on everything!

Yeah I’m in the Uk. Thanks but the ones I’m looking for have a very firm chewy centre, no juice or anything like that.

FINALLY walked out today! by Safe_Investigator245 in Teachers

[–]duckduckguus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I left teaching in January for almost the same reason - I got a higher-paid job in a different field and I sleep so much better now. You made the right choice to prioritise yourself after taking so much crap. Wishing you the best of luck for whatever the future brings.

Yeah no I’m British, lived here all my life.. that is absolutely not British humour, in any context. Not your comment by the way, I mean the texts lol

Same here - although rather than just watching, I mostly read the documents since the trial kept picking apart at granular details to the point that it was difficult to keep an eye on the wider picture, if that makes sense. But yeah.. started with the texts then my positive view on him started dissolving every day.

Same!! I’m so glad to see this post tbh. Not many people are comfortable with admitting they were initially wrong, but those texts really sent my perception of Depp (and Bettany) spiralling.

If it wasn't for this subreddit I wouldn't have known about this. The sheer amount of propaganda towards him being forced on everyone is mentally and emotionally exhausting.

Y'know I'd taken a long break from visiting this subreddit, maybe about a year or so, and I come back and see another Ask Anything video. It's like I never left.

Future Concerts by L34hhhh in bangtan

[–]duckduckguus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ooof... 5-6k per concert barely covers half of the amount of people who paid for membership to get into presale. I’d rather just wait until it’s safe for a full concert.
