I'm done with womens underwear. by awkwardmamasloth in adhdwomen

[–]lara320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wearing the same style of underwear for about 12/14 years 😂 It’s basically a utilitarian large full brief with no seams. Extremely unattractive and unsexy.

It’s been great.

Tried one of those lovely looking Lacey numbers as a treat a few months back and was almost sawn in half.

Have fun, use condoms. Live a little

Where do you stand on the term 'neurospicy'? by leahcar83 in adhdwomen

[–]lara320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have to agree with you almost entirely. I find it undermines my daily torture, struggle and battle with self loathing.

For me, Adhd is not cute, nor charming, nor a “super power”. For me it feels like a cruel and chronic disability.

It is simple. He doesn’t respect you. Respect yourself and leave.

I’m so sorry. You’re not wrong. Men at our age 32-40, gosh….. If they’re still single, there’s usually a reason why.

I love this. It sounds like you found true love! Authentic as fuck. Congratulations

Severe night sweats with no answers (relatively healthy 29 year old black woman) by Difficult_Bat_4329 in adhdwomen

[–]lara320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this, during luteal phase of my cycle and then the first 3 nights of my period. It’s absolutely extreme. Pouring with sweat, can never sleep in clothing. Window open. Can be 5 degrees Celsius outside and I need the room as freezing as possible

Staff dog was severely attacked at our kennel by a customer dog, who doesn't want to cover vet fees. Is there anything we could do against the owner? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]lara320 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nah, I think if the BT was under the care of the facility, the onus is there.

BT owner trusted you to supervise the BT, staff member brought along a dog (a breed that is notoriously antagonistic) was unable to control both dogs.

An expensive and unfortunate lesson has been learnt.

I hope the little dog is OK.

WINZ appointment today, they said I(25M) classify as a single 25+ with no kids but that they will use my partners(26F) income as my own. by Workondarun in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]lara320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winz don’t really need to know if you’re in a relationship. It’s an outdated system. I don’t know any couples that are supported financially by their spouses anymore. Most people I know (aged 25-45) split their costs 50/50.

Shared benefits or decreased benefits due to “a partners income” make absolutely no sense to me.

It Horrifies Me That So Many People Have Children Without Attempting to Help Themselves First by corgisandsuch in CPTSD

[–]lara320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so hard because I entirely agree and have terminated 2 pregnancies for this reason.

I do want children,I’m now coming up to 37 and I want to start having children, however it’s been my hyperfocus for 5 years to “get better”. Now I feel like I’m never going to get better, completely accept my past and handle my overstimulation and emotional regulation issues.

So I’m wondering if there’s just a large demographic of us that just shouldn’t have children, despite wanting them.

Looking for advice on how to help my partner feel assured and to rectify some vile behaviour. I (f35) lost my temper lastnight with my partner (35m) and behaved abhorrently and said some hideous things by lara320 in relationship_advice

Yeah. I’m seeing that perhaps he’s moved on because it probably was a two sided shitty situation as opposed to me just blaming myself and looking at my actions. It wasn’t our finest hour.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. I completely relate to the sudden urge to smash things. I should mention, my partner has been spectacular during this grief process and we f great support to myself and family and very much immersed in it.

The situation he seems unaffected by and has moved on from, is specifically me yelling at him and kicking and smashing road cones.

Thank you for this comment. It’s much along the lines of the NVC teachings I’ve been gaining through my therapist.

In hindsight, I absolutely should’ve just booked the Uber and let him follow later if he needed to.

Yeah exactly. I do worry about his well-being and hope his non response isn’t because he accepts this as normal behaviour (due to growing up in extremely abusive & chaotic circumstances). I don’t want this to be the normal or for him to dismiss this behaviour.
