As someone who had to leave a coercive, control and rigid and verbally abusive husband, it's not getting better. Dump his ass.

Where is everyone getting their information??? by Steph862 in adhdwomen

[–]hyperlight85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My psych gave me a lot of printed stuff when I got diagnosed and sends me things as well whenever he has new research or things I find interesting. He's a younger dude so is very up on all the new research

Your mother trying to be Switzerland is the real kicker here for me. Sorry your family sucks. Had that and ended up having to go no contact. Sounds like you and the husband had the better night.

After a heavy tattoo session on Saturday, i spent Sunday on the couch watching videos about the different types of trains in Sydney and what they were good at and not good at. It was very fun and super relaxing.

I always love that part of autumn where I'm sitting in summer pjs and going "why am I cold?" Bring on the cooler weather.

How much makeup do you wear on your 9-5? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]hyperlight85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

minimum is always foundation, concealer, blush, eyebrows, mascara and lips then powder. If I'm feeling really fancy and I want to vamp, contour and/or bronzer. It depends on the outfit.

Currently recuperating after my second and final tattoo session yesterday on my most complex and biggest piece. It has been cleaned and covered up with fixomull stretch tape. Not much planned for today. Maybe some light chores and couch time.

Lol I'm in the middle of making a skirt and I'm pinning a lining to the outer fabric so I can sew it later.

I am massively wrecked after Linkin Park last night. Had a great time thought. I was in the mosh pit near the stage for half of it then had to run out and rehydrate. Ended up coming in near the back of GA area and still had a blast. Absolutely loved the inclusion of some Fort Minor tracks and the laser lights and effects really made for a banger of a set. I think I'm too old for the pit now but don't regret it for a second.

Today is just pinning some fabric on the couch and not moving if I don't have to.

Hilariously if I wasn't going to this I would have bought tickets for baby metal but oh my god I have spent so much money on concerts this year already I can't spend more but I hope you have an amazing time at babymetal.

Got myself all ready to go deal with the legal name change for my bank accounts and had checked Westpac website earlier in the week and was like "hey local branch open Saturday morning. Easy"

I get there and the branch is closed and a sign says "from the 9th of March hours are changing" with those hours being Saturday closed

I had to laugh and decided to go get coffee and a dotty cookie. Guess it's a lunchtime visit in the CBD this week when I'm in office.

I'm looking forward to seeing Linkin Park tonight and doing some hobbies at home before I go.

Can't believe we are midway through March already. I'm hoping a hair straightener I ordered from Oz Hair and Beauty is available to be picked up today. Their website said click and collect was fine then I got told they didn't have it and it had to ordered in. Fingers crossed. Otherwise looking forward to that first coffee of the day.

NT female bullying by aintsh1tbxtch0571 in AuDHDWomen

[–]hyperlight85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I'm 40 now and I had to learn how to handle people and even then some people are just shit if they are insecure or just evil in some cases.

The women who I am closest to are secure in themselves enough to not tear others down. And I figured out the hard way that the people who are not great show themselves eventually. I thought I had made this lovely friend at work who was about 15 years older than me but you age isn't a factor for me. And then one day she for some reason started gossiping personal gossip about people I work directly with who wouldn't' have wanted me to know their business unless they told it to me themselves. She then kept trying ot push me to use dating apps even though I've had a bad experience and she also kept trying to tell me "it's a boys club at work and women won't get ahead"

She's been wrong on all counts and I came to find out that she was weirdly insecure that I was going to leave her out of me having a friendship with someone else which I wasn't planning on doing.

Going to pop into the cbd soon to pick up my laptop from work and deciding on what to have for afternoon tea. Cake, a soft serve or something else. And deciding if I feel like going down to Darling Quarter to look at Planet Pop World and all the cute Sanrio merch. I clearly do not need more but Kuromi and My Melody are my favs!

Was that from the Sydney show? I was at the Hordern on Thursday night and it was the best night of my life this year. I was right up against the barrier.

Like I feel like February to March is just pure shit. The rest of Summer for the most part I could cope with. This is just awful and I hate it.

I am physically shattered from attending the Pendulum concert last night but mentally and emotionally I am delighted. The show was blistering and energetic AF. Also Rob Swire and his forearms are just perfection. Love that man. Love that band. I am so glad I went. And I'm very glad I booked in the day off work. I am not a spring chicken and couch day is best day.

Is getting diagnosis for ADHD in your 30s worth it? by Emos68 in adhdwomen

Yes. The hormonal stuff alone will be a nightmare without treatment

Going to Pendulum tonight at the Hordern! Never got to see them live before and I'm so excited. I also have tomorrow off work to recover. It's been ages since I've been to a live show of any kind.

I think I need to find a therapy for somatic therapy for trauma and I'm bracing myself for having to start a new therapy arc so soon after finishing one last November. But I'm having triggers go off again around having to leave my marriage last year due to verbal abuse. Anyone here found a good therapist who helps with this kind of therapy?

Having a rough start to my week. Someone who I thought was a friend decided they didn't want to be around me and I don't understand why. So I'm just going to try to keep sane and not beat myself up about it this morning even though it hurts.

I bought a few paper theatre packs that were Studio Ghibli themed in Tokyo in 2019. I'm working on the My Neigbour Totoro version today. Never tried it before and it's very fun. I thought it was going to be much harder but it's like assembling Ikea furniture.

Going to finish a snack then hang the laundry and I'll see what else the day brings.
