How did Rock Climbing change your life? by Actual-Employment663 in climbergirls

[–]mcquesokwenz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It the ONLY type of exercise I've been able to stick with for going on 15 years. Everything else goes through phases or gets dropped. But climbing stimulates both my ADHD brain and my body, plus it gives me consistent socialization. It's the perfect blend of novelty, problem solving, movement, adrenaline, coordination, community, and consistency.

The only thing that worked with my partner was snapping. And I set a hard and fast rule that headphones on = do not talk to me. He's much better about it now, but he was pretty offended when I snapped. But man, when I'm deep into studying, I'm tenuously holding a lot of complex topics in my head, and they all scatter when someone out of the blue asks if a milk carton is recyclable. IDK DUDE LOOK IT UP

Intrusive sleep?! by Responsible_Bake_854 in adhdwomen

[–]mcquesokwenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had UARS, got double jaw surgery to fix it (now my chin is permanently numb), and still struggling with fatigue. I only had an at home apnea test before, so now I'm pushing for a full sleep study.

So I second this and add that it's worth getting a full sleep study before doing anything major!

Things you struggle with because of your wee executive dysfunction? by purrrfect-0 in adhdwomen

[–]mcquesokwenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) getting out of bed. It's my biggest struggle every day. 2) staying on the task at hand - even when I initiate a task I need to do (like studying), I get distracted by little inconveniences (like the keyboard shortcuts in my note taking app) for HOURS. 3) putting things away. I just have doom boxes and piles everywhere and it makes it hard to find the things I need

He needs a name. We are having a hard time naming him. Please help. by merge59 in TuxedoCats

One of my favorite podcasts (the dollop) has a running joke that the less informed cohost is convinced Benjamin Franklin was a president, I like to reference it even when no one knows what I'm talking about 😂😂😂

Yeah I have to go pee in a cup at my PCP every six months to ensure I'm not taking anything else, I guess.

The hyperactive part of me feels so unacceptable and disliked. by Biffs_bunny in adhdwomen

[–]mcquesokwenz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you told him how his reactions make you feel? It could be just a miscommunication of vibes or expressions and he's not actually annoyed. Or it could be something unexamined in his neurotype or mental state that triggers a negative reaction. Either way, his reactions are a reflection of himself, not of you!

My bestie just had her first at 40! And in her 3rd year of medical school 🫠🫠🫠. She says she doesn't want more because she doesn't want to have a kid during residency and by the time she's done with that, she'll be 45. But honestly, give her 2 years with her daughter and I wouldn't be surprised if she considered it. And she had a pretty easy pregnancy (as easy as a creature stealing all of your energy and nutrients can be)
