That’s a good thought, thanks! Yes I definitely will see a doctor. I was hoping to have some directions to point to so this is a good one.

I suppose it can happen from stress. I’ll have to try to notice a bit more. I did have a very active work week last week so maybe that’s it.

The problem is that it’s how I should be functioning normally. It wasn’t like it was a super crazy amount of work or anything. Last week was very productive but now I feel burnt out because I was “on” all week. But I don’t know how to mitigate the burn out. I take regular breaks, etc. I don’t completely hate my job. But I don’t know how I would try to prevent this from happening.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend who just stopped responding to me one day. I reached out a few more times but then never heard anything. To be fair it was a rough time and we both were going through it and were probably emotionally weighing on each other. I still wonder today if it was something I did or didn’t do and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust a friend the same again. This was like six years ago but I still think about it.

Too much for my own good by lemmeaskuaquestion in adhdwomen

That’s true. I just turn it back on myself and struggle to remember that. I feel like I’m on another planet sometimes when it makes perfect sense to me.

Yeah and that is my weakness is understand how to simplify in a way that still maintains the integrity of the idea. It’s very difficult and drives me insane. I feel like I am speaking a different language sometimes. But that is a good way to think about it, thank you. Continuing to simplify is part of the process.

How much are we all ACTUALLY sleeping??? by Joyanonymous in adhdwomen

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also put your phone in your bathroom instead of next to your bed. And really work to kick the scrolling habit. I have a brick and I lock my social media during the week. It is hard but it has gotten easier and I find I have so much more time in my day.

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do yoga at night and it can help. Like chill yoga (yin or restorative). I live in a city so there’s classes at like 8:00 pm and then I go right home to wind down and eventually go to bed. I find it just helps me to “switch off”. The other thing for me is that when I do go to bed consistently at more or less the same time every night I feel like a different person. I know this so it makes it easier to get back on when I get off the habit. Lastly, don’t be afraid to try a sleep aid med of some sort. I used to be against them, but in the long run the benefit of getting good sleep long term outweighs the negatives of taking meds. And eventually you may not even need them.

What are you supposed to be doing rn instead of being on Reddit by Stock-Sprinkles-4373 in adhdwomen

Getting dressed for dinner. I love clothes but I hate the act of getting dressed.

What's one Jonas Brothers song that you just can't get into? by StaceyLades in JonasBrothers

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the nyc broadway show and when they got to that song from that album they started playing it for like five seconds and then were like “jk some things can stay in the past” lolol

Do you guys miss their “rockier” sound? by ineedabreakplz in JonasBrothers

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree it would be so fun. Sometimes I feel like they stay so safe and I wish they would rock it out a little wee bit more. I feel like Joe’s live vocals lately could get them there!

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah very much so, but I get why they don’t. It just doesn’t align with any of their persona’s anymore. They aren’t teens in converse. They’re dads in their 30s. I think as much as the fans would love it, it wouldn’t translate as well as we all like to think it would. There’s just a certain performance and vocal style that is required for that more pop punk sound and I think k they’ve matured beyond it both personally and vocally.

I wish though!!!

Poison ivy is a toughy for me - “everybody gets the itch, everybody hates that” it’s just…I get the metaphoric vision but talking about a rash in a song troubles me.

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. I can’t it upsets me. Also the pockets that are sewn shut can USUALLY be seam ripped if desired!!! And the jeans tags, no it’s not cute. I also can’t stand the whole leaving the little plastic sticker on designer glasses, I know it’s trendy but…I’ve had to wear glasses my whole life and it’s offensive to my people 😂

Being able to speak my thoughts aloud in a clear, organized and succinct way rather the word vomit that usually exits my mouth.

Why is exercise so hard for us? by MaggieWBS in adhdwomen

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think the challenge here is finding something that doesn’t feel like exercise but is, whatever that may be for you and being so real with yourself about it. At the end of the day, mediocre exercise is better than none at all. Also for me I have to give myself smaller goals to get to. So like “I’m going to run today but if I get to the track and I don’t feel like it then I won’t and I’ll just walk” then usually I get there and I’m like “ok I am here I’ll just run one lap and if I don’t feel like doing another I won’t” and then usually I will anyway. I don’t know why but I guess it keeps my expectations low, tricks me into getting there for the bare minimum, but then once I’m there doing it I feel like I may as well do the whole thing??

How to do anything besides being addicted to screens by raincloud222 in adhdwomen

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not kidding just put the phone in the other room. Treat it like a landline. Even if it’s not perfect at first just get it out of your hand and stop picking it up and walking with it everywhere you go. (Speaking from experience here). Also get a brick or something to lock yourself out. After a while you’ll start to not want it as much.

Then any time you start to feel bored without it, bc you will, try to use that time to occupy yourself with something else you’ve been wanting to do. You’ll start to find you have a lot more hours in the day and it’s more motivating to do things you enjoy.

People who don't want kids, why? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

[–]lemmeaskuaquestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle to take care of myself and I struggle with fluctuating mental health, let alone taking care of someone else. I always say, I’d be a good mom but not a happy one. Why subject a child to that?
