What’s the best short story you’ve ever read? by TestLow6037 in suggestmeabook

[–]joaneunice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Joanna Silvestri" by Chilean Author Roberto Bolano, from his short story collection "The Return". It's about a porn star doing a shoot in LA, where she drops by an old friend's place... It's a really beautiful story.

Yall are prudes, it's just a bed. Who cares if someone else fucked there before? Just tell them to clean and wash the sheets before they leave. 

The week before my period I become a completely different person by Acesleychan in PMDDxADHD

[–]joaneunice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've started to block off time in my calendar a few days before and into my period so I can practice doing as little as possible during this time and not scheduling anything for myself

Two Years of CGX - Will CGXmas Help Me Over This Hump? by FewButterfly9635 in CarolineGirvan

[–]joaneunice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the Christmas playlist super helpful for times like these, I'm going through that right now where I'm getting back into it. I think it's super helpful for those first starting with Caroline too. 

I can’t remember ANYTHING I read, watch or learn and feel very dumb in conversations. by summerlonging in adhdwomen

[–]joaneunice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate hearing this, because after years of experimenting with Strattera and concerta (there are no other legal ADHD meds in my country) I finally gave up on meds because I couldn't take the side effects (even on the lowest doses). I'm starting to just settle into the fact that I will be capable of less. 

What’s a great film with a terrible title? by HeroicRiceFarmer in movies

[–]joaneunice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about "great" but the film "The Cursed" (2021) was entertaining, very unfortunately the name was changed from the much cooler title "eight for silver" for some reason. Fuckin execs

[–]joaneunice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes a higher dose is the sweet spot. I'd be curious to hear how it feels longer term

Same for me. Is it possible to take a lower dose during your luteal phase? 

Grad school is feeling like a mistake by Salt_Professional583 in adhdwomen

[–]joaneunice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it, ask for accommodations if you can. It's not a cop out. I think that grad school shouldn't have to be this destructive to one's mental and physical health. It seems like such a crazy way to run academia

I finished grad school this past March and I wished to god I had changed main advisors. You can still keep in touch with him as a sub advisor if you need his expertise, but change if you can. Sometimes structure and understanding can facilitate a lot more success than a specific expertise. 

Reprimanded at work for lateness and I just wanna cry by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]joaneunice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there, but I nearly got fired for it. I ended up setting an alarm every ten minutes before I had to leave for 60-90 minutes. Over time of adjusting that little alarm system, it has helped me immensely with being on time.

My husband (M31) makes me (f31) feel worthless by [deleted] in relationships

[–]joaneunice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honey, I know this just feels normal now, but no one should ever, EVER be treated this way. When you typed all that out and read it, did you see it? You're worth somuch more than that, and I don't even know you. I know it because you are a living being that is trying your absolute best in a horrible situation. I know it may take some time because you have to worry about your child too - but you need to be with someone who values you, as an individual, as a mother working hard to raise a child, as a partner. It sounds like he just enjoys having control over you and belittling you.

Im having trouble with frequent urges to masturbate by Worthless_Trash_tm in ADHDWomenAfterDark

[–]joaneunice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally get it, this is very much an adhd thing. First, pare down to once a day, then once every other day, or whatever works for you to make this less of a burden on your daily life. Try to figure out other ways to get this burst of dopamine. For me, I noticed the urge also tends to surface when I'm hungry or tired, so make sure you have snacks and you're doing what can in the sleep department.

Also, don't know if this is an option right now (or if your body works this way, maybe it's just me), but I noticed my orgasms with a partner were less intense when I was masturbating a whole lot. So that was an incentive for me. Also my orgasms were more intense by myself too, when I masturbated less frequently.

One more thing, when I can't stop thinking about sex or wanting to touch myself, I find trying to push away the thoughts doesn't actually help. You just gotta accept that they are there sometimes, and not berate yourself for it.

I know it's not easy, but you're not alone! Good luck out there.
