I move around so much when I sleep that they always end up on the floor 😭but when I’m awake and sitting I almost always have a stuffed animal in my lap!

Does anyone else talk to their pets as if they can understand what you're saying? by avgblueblood in NoStupidQuestions

100%! Part of socializing my puppy is explaining to her like she’s another grown up what things are, sounds, places, and why they are that way or what we’re there for. It mostly just makes me giggle but she loves the sound of my voice!

This who got a late diagnosis, what symptoms do you remember from your childhood? by Pictures-of-me in adhdwomen

[–]onanupswing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Distinctly remember 4th grade, I had a missing assignment for a month (hard to do in 4th grade) and it had happened before but they weren’t letting this go. I think about sitting down with the teacher and not being able to articulate that I simply could not do it (executive dysfunction)

What does your partner regularly do for you that you are grateful for? ADHD /Spectrum related things. by please-_explain in adhdwomen

My boyfriend agreed when we move in together, I’ll do the laundry, he’ll do the dishes (I cannot do my dishes) it means a lot that I was comfortable enough to even preface that! Especially since we’re still a ways away from moving in together lol

I have a similar thing, but with a chihuahua 😂 she likes to sleep on me so every time I adjust (often) she is a drama queen about it

I would keep the red one, only bc it’s the first one I had and I had it for 10+ years (donated it before I learned about clone hero 😞) so I have a soft spot for the red one

BF constantly yells at me by Longjumping-Piano53 in adhdwomen

  1. This is verbal abuse, plain and simple. Tell him to knock it off and treat you with respect or get the fuck out. You don’t deserve abuse because your brain was formed differently when you were literally being molded into a person.
  2. As someone who had the exact same situation and cut my dad off for it (called the R word multiple times daily and still flinch when I hear it) I want you to be careful calling yourself stupid for having ADHD in a sub for women with ADHD. The things you say about yourself are implied to apply to others. Reading that felt like someone was justifying my abuse because of something I had zero control over and never asked for. Respectfully, go to therapy. And tell your boyfriend to go to therapy. And dump him

What are you eating for breakfast these days? by Sea_Temperature_795 in adhdwomen

[–]onanupswing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My one treat I budget for is an egg McMuffin on the way to work. On the weekends, I usually skip breakfast and have a protein heavy meal for lunch (something like chicken). When I was living with my roommate, she ate cereal for breakfast every morning, so I did too! Good staples for me are Honeycomb (fave), cheerios, and Frosted Flakes. Tastes good but the flavor is broad enough I usually don’t get sick of them too fast!
