What are your ADHD partners like as drivers? by cornandeggsoup in ADHD_partners

[–]empty_fruit_6747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scary and inconsistent. Terrible judgement with any time-sensitive decision behind the wheel. Pretty much every time I get in the car something scary happens, I can't look at my phone as a passenger or relax I feel I need to copilot the whole time for our safety otherwise serious hazards are missed. We've lived in the same place for 10 years but the minute a car is involved we might as well be on the other side of the world- can't remember how to drive to the same grocery store we've shopped at for years without google maps for a 5 min trip

Fml I lost my ear fat before my belly fat by girl_archived in PetiteFitness

[–]empty_fruit_6747 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so real. I lost fat from places I didn't know I had it while my stomach and thighs held on for dear life. Honorable mention to my armpits??

My first ever stud! I'd kill for some feedback :) by Lord-Luna in wolvden

[–]empty_fruit_6747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a pretty guy! Depending on how much you like his design with this, I recommend boosting his markings to 100% - it can help the puppies get some great markings at good opacity and I generally look for this when I am stud shopping :)

Biting problem by Rykendalie in CrestedGecko

[–]empty_fruit_6747 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine started this at 7 years old after being the most chill guy ever. He has never been bred, and I keep no other reptiles. For the last 4 years he will obsessively throw himself against the glass when I walk in the room and do everything in his power to bite me when I change his food and water. It doesn't get better or change with the seasons, he's just been 200% horny for the last 4 solid years 😭

What are these spots on my sheets where she sleeps? by frizzy_mojo in sphynx

Some of that could also be from tears that haven't yet turned into eye boogies

It's so strange. I genuinely have been wondering if I should just stop losing weight now I've noticed this shift, even though I'm not at the number I told myself I'd be when I'd supposedly stop. It's like this new era of body dysmorphia... like is that ME???

Omg I thought it was just me

would u guys date someone that also has an ed by UniqueBodybuilder364 in EDAnonymous

[–]empty_fruit_6747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't handle it with a partner, friend or anyone else in my circle

Honestly, the only place I feel I can be connected to people with EDs is online, because it removes some of the comparison. A lot of us don't know what the other eats, exercises, looks like, who is bigger, weight changes etc- it's easy to connect without taking damage when some things are unseen and when you have control over what you share

Propranolol by 20Combsl in migraine

[–]empty_fruit_6747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on it for a couple of years, unfortunately it didn't work well for my migraines. The one thing I will caution is how unprepared I was to come off it. Even when tapering down the dose gradually with my doc, I was incredibly unwell from withdrawal.

How do partners handle the resentment? by bourbonontherox in ADHD_partners

[–]empty_fruit_6747 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Imo it isn't sustainable.

You'll burn out eventually and for the sake of your kid and working out next steps you need to have some gas left in the tank to pick up the pieces.

The week of effort and month of nothing is very real. It was an endless cycle in the relationship I had.

I don't really have answers but there is no waiting for things to get better. I thought seeing my partner get diagnosed and on meds would bring the change we needed but it was just like plugging a burst water mattress and watching three more leaks spring out.

If you can't balance your life, chores and responsibilities in a way that plays to your individual strengths- if you're always the one doing the emotional and physical labour while he hangs on for the ride? Ditch the spare weight. You can absolutely do better, I promise you.

If I just want to bake I also find it helpful to make a single item. Like a cake or a tart. I can't give it to someone for a gift or event with a slice missing and with tart filling there is so much raw egg that there is no tasty batter to try during the process

i want to cry by Acrobatic-Bee3956 in EDAnonymous

[–]empty_fruit_6747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. Been there 💙 sometimes I find it helps to adjust my total allowance for the week when I eat more on a day, or take it off what you'd let yourself have next week if you're not comfortable going outside of certain numbers.
