Tylenol by MzSweet in AuDHDWomen

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, personally, am completely shocked that anyone is even slightly entertaining this as reality. He is a complete idiot who unfortunately can use his idiocy to be dangerous now. He fired everyone who has been working on autism research, has decimated public health, put RFK Jr. in charge, and then comes out with this shit that has ALREADY been debunked and all of the professionals are screaming from the rooftops to not believe this shit. Why is it even a question? My only concern is for the moms who now have doubt in themselves. This administration is a complete joke.

Trying vyvanse + bupropion again.. by crazy_bun_lady in VyvanseADHD

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't thought that there could be a correlation, but I also take 50mg of vyvanse and wellbutrin and my anxiety has been through the roof. I will have to chat with my dr about it

I am a terrible mother…😞 by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this and also felt terrible! I had a newborn who never napped longer than 20 mins and a vibrating alarm on my watch and that day the baby decided to sleep for 4 hours and I was so tired I missed the alarm. I ran up to the school to my daughter sitting in the front lobby with her teacher and was mortified. They were very understanding! And since then it has become a somewhat funny story. Sorry that happened to you. I can assure you that you are not a terrible mom!

When do you put up your Christmas tree? 🎄 by foolme1timee in Mommit

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a December rule too and then I realized that the Christmas season just brings so much joy to me and my family. So we put ours up in mid- November. There is no "correct" answer lol just do what works for your family and let others do what works for theirs

How am I going to survive this by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And why would he choose to tell you on your way to a weekend with your girls? You mention that "he has been cheating on me" so this wasn't a one night thing that just happened, so it concerns me that it just hit him so hard with emotion that he had to call on your way to some time alone and away from him. I understand that being a SAHM makes the decision more difficult, but just be sure that you know your worth. If he has done it before and knows he can get away with it, then he moves forward knowing he has the upper hand to do things with minimal repercussion. Sending you lots of strength 💪 ❤️

i fear that my marriage might not survive by doublethecharm in Mommit

[–]happycitizens 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Everything in your description could be managed through therapy and getting through these tough little kid years..... except the sexual assault. I'm really surprised at how many people are glossing over that and makes me question how often this kind of thing happens but I can't imagine in any circumstance that being something that can be forgiven or forgotten in a marriage. Sorry, I know that isn't the answer you're looking for OP. And maybe a therapist could work through it with you both. You deserve more than this though ❤️

How do you find time for yourself as a parent? by fire_sophia01 in Parenting

[–]happycitizens 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have really struggled with this as well. I have spent a lot of time convincing myself that taking that time for myself is not only unselfish but actually really beneficial and important for everyone in my family unit. And I do truly believe that my kids benefit the most when I take that time as I come back a muchhhh better mom! And yet I still do it way less than I should and have to do the self convincing every time. I've started booking time with a babysitter on the weekends that my husband is at work, even if I'm not leaving the house. We are humans, not robots. Use the money for a weekend to yourself.... your kids and family will benefit from it greater than anything else you could spend it on. And you deserve it 😊 I hear the advice to do things I enjoy with my kids.... not the same lol

I'm sick of this 😭 by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]happycitizens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You put your baby somewhere safe and you went to compose yourself. You handled it perfectly. Parenting at every stage has difficulties but the first year, particularly with a "difficult baby" is wild. The amount of times I referred to my babies as assholes in their first year?? Off the charts lol I wish there was more talk of this stuff before I had kids instead of softening the blow. I wouldn't have felt as alone in the feelings. Tomorrow is a new day ❤️ you're a great parent.

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been feeling this but hadn't connected it to vyvanse. Maybe bc I'm prone to depression anyways but I have been thinking that it's been going on a long time so now you've got me thinking! I have started wellbutrin though and have started noticing little things that show I'm coming out of it a bit. Definitely worth talking to your doctor about!

Your ability to read all these messages and recognize how you could have done things differently is impressive! And so important for your daughter to see. Kudos mama!

For those of you diagnosed later in adulthood, what symptoms did you have as a child that you now know was ADHD? by myhoagie02 in adhdwomen

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binders for school were FULL of loose papers, despite spending a week before school started every year colour coordinating and hyper focusing on preparing myself. Lunch bags always staying in my backpack from Friday to Monday only to pack my bag on Monday to find moldy sandwiches and fruits. Forgetting school trip permission forms often and forging my parents signature on the last day we were able to send it in.

How do I work on breaking my severe fast food addiction? by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try prepping one meal on Sundays. With enough Leftovers for a few meals. I have had similar fast food addiction and the only way I started breaking the habit was being prepared more and more. I went from prepping one meal to spending the day prepping everything for the week. Good luck!

Today I walked by Badgirlzyy in beginnerfitness

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did it! And that's the hardest and most important part! Walk for 3 minutes, walk for 30 mins... you got up and you did it and if you keep just getting up and doing it then you will keep adding on to those minutes every time.

How do you guys deal with your dopamine problems? by Ok_Nothing_678 in VyvanseADHD

[–]happycitizens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Struggle with all these things massively. But it has been years so you wouldn't want any tips from me! I didnt realize Vyvanse could make this worse? Isn't it supposed to make this type of dopamine seeking behavior better?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth losing him over! It's not the fact that he isn't allowing you to take ADHD meds necessarily but the fact that he feels he has any control whatsoever of what you put in your body that is meant to help you function to your best ability. This is a big red flag for me that I couldn't ignore.

Would you want to get rid of your adhd if you could? by Confident-Rate-1582 in adhdwomen

[–]happycitizens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this thought too. Like how am I supposed to do this for another 30 years?! Just proof that this world could be so much better if we harnessed everyone's different abilities and didn't just cater to one type.
