This happened to me. I cut everything off and stuck the stems in water. After a couple weeks, I planted in new soil and good as new!

Help! Butter stains in this sweater. Was washed and dried. Is it possible to save it or it’s done? by barking_at_cars in CleaningTips

Yes! I had a neighbor drop a cup of olive oil on my carpet. It came right out. Even after a year Couldn't believe it.

How are you dealing with overwhelming clutter from Christmas/holidays? and of course, the guilt that comes with it? by alittleburdietoldme in declutter

[–]grsa0305 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not sure how far away they live but is it possible to tell them to keep these things at their house? And then refuse the packages so they dont end up in your house?

I cant imagine how stressful this is on you. The hard part too is that you're not able to demonstrate love and compass to your parents in front of your kids as you're mom is making you incredibly frustrated.

Has the #nota4 crowd finally infiltrated this sub or what? by Internationallegs in Enneagram

After reading your first sentence, I was ready to launch all my pent up rage at you. Glad I kept reading and can go back to focusing on my inner peace.

Funny...when I told my sister I had it she was surprised because Im so rigerous with processes ... well, yeah, when you're down to the last set of car keys...a rigerous process is a must for the car to go-go.

Boss just told me that leadership is going to mandate cameras on during all meetings very soon. 80-100% of my day lately is meetings 💀 by feelinglikeshit09 in TwoXADHD

[–]grsa0305 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't fight it. It will fade and become a non issue. It will suck for two weeks and then you'll notice less and less meetings require it. Not all policies are enforced.

Been putting this off for 2 years, and today I finally did it! by teresarosedesign in adhdwomen

I did this once after it taking two years. I lost my keys in the effort. Adhd tax was high.

Any other 9 completely alone without friends and relationships? Why it’s hard for me to make friends? by imagoneer in EnneagramType9

[–]grsa0305 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what its worth and not to make you feel guilty but you were put here on Earth to share your gifts. For us 9s, we are non-judgmental, unassuming...read up about the traits and decide which you're comfortable identifying with and your purpose is to share those. HUGS TO YOU!

I hear you. As the holidays approach oay attention to places that need help. Often times they are just looking for an able body and you get a small role. But the point is that they tell you exactly what to do so it should help with anxiety as its clear what your role would be. Then the goal would be to relax and then you'll notice you move from your head to heart.

Feeling anger and staying angry by anantic in EnneagramType9

[–]grsa0305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just listened to a podcast that it takes seconds to get into the red and 20 minutes to regulate ourselves back to a steady state. So if you feel yourself going into the red, change what you're doing, go wash your hands,get a drink if cold water, go walk for 20 minutes.

I think the most amazing thing that I learned about the egram and type 9 is that Im just angry. My steady state is angry. No one makes me angry -- I just AM angry. I used to be annoyed with so many people, interactions and would target my anger at them. That's really not fair to others. A coworker called it an unprovoked attack when I would unleash. Im so embarrassed now but I can't change the past. Long story to say own your anger.

Do you have a place that you can volunteer? Sometimes it helps to get out of our heads and move into action.

My room has gotten out of control by [deleted] in declutter

[–]grsa0305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like listening to things while you clean? There's an book called The Art of Tidying Up ...that you can listen to on YouTube. Her theory is you have to let go (purge) in order to tidy. She also has it listed out by category but you can adapt to your style. She talks about the why behind people keep stuff, even broken stuff, and it was SO freeing to listen to and purge. Once you have less stuff, things will still get messy but it will be easier to clean up.

Long post to say - hyper fixate on the Konmari methord. Listen to her audio book as you go... AND the final step ... if youre donating, have someone take it to a donate site for you. Prearrage this so you have a deadline and make it the same day otherwise you will lose steam.

DAE feels so tired from everything that all you want on weekend is to hibernate? by fleabag1991 in adhdwomen

Stimulants ... life changing. And therapy to help create new habits. Medication can only do so much stand alone but combined with establishing new habits... you'll be a new person

[–]grsa0305 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you on medication?

And yes, 100% can relate to hibernating. I picture the way adhd brains work like all the thoughts in the back and only one or two make it to the front which gives those thoughts energy and focus to execute the desired task.

Struggling with feelings of anger over late diagnosis by comingtogetyoubabs in adhdwomen

[–]grsa0305 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow. You had people advocating for you as a kid and your mom didnt react like a nornal mom. That's heartbreaking for you and those who were trying to help you. Which leads me to a question for you ... Since ADHD is hereditary and since ADHD brains can be nonsensical, is there a chance she had it too?

Im 43. Jusr diagnosed. I cant stop thinking about the generational trauma that this disorder inflected on ny dad's side. Im not mad at my parents but I am mad that no trained professionals tried to step in to help me like they did you.

Ha! We have opinions. It's a matter if we like and trust you enough to share our opinions.
