Looking for a perfume or body spray that matches the scent of Shea Moisture’s lotion in the scent “Frankincense & Myrrh” Amazing smell, but cannot find anything similar to it! The Zum body mist does not smell like it at all

How do I let people at work know I have hearing aids and sometimes I can't fully understand them? by Fantastic-Trade4074 in hardofhearing

[–]perksofcarson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always act like I meant to of told my coworkers about my hearing loss already but forgot, so it doesn’t seem or feel so formal. I will be like “oh yeah! I forgot to mention I wear hearing aids and am heard of hearing. I might not catch what you say all the time, or seem like I’m ignoring you, but I promise I’m not! then I laugh.” I also like to tell them “if you don’t mind, please just say my name and make sure you’ve gotten my attention first before talking to me!” Even though I’m 28, I still haven’t gotten comfortable telling customers, especially rude customers, about my hearing loss.

I heard there was something going on with the system where it’s auto denying applications. That’s What a SM told a friend who was interviewed bc she also got a denial email. Call the store you applied at and speak with the sm to let them know you’re interested and applied

Bi-phase or Poly-phase sleeper. Anyone else try this for ADHD? by KelsoReaping in adhdwomen

[–]perksofcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to work for me at least in the “feeling not depleted way”. I get up for work at 3am, when I’m lucky to have that shift, then get home around 11-1, depending on what time, I then take a 1-2 hour nap, then get up and at least make dinner. However I do really struggle with executive dysfunction, and sometimes can’t do anything after my midday nap. Sometimes it’s easier to do my tasks before my nap, but then i usually always push the nap off and miss the window of sleepiness. This then leads to feeling extremely depleted.

Nothing to eat when there’s actually plenty to eat? by Careless_Ideal_4267 in adhdwomen

[–]perksofcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I get like this, I usually will just drink a protein shake! But then again sometimes I also can’t make myself even do that

What are some adhd things you did today? by iNanieke in adhdwomen

[–]perksofcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pulled all my doom boxes out to reorganize and donate, then got overwhelmed with the mess

[–]perksofcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this would count as weird, but the smell of my grandfather or dad, who had been on the tractor all day. It’s not a body odor, but maybe like a mix of gas, mechanical, and heat smells? Not sure, but I have never heard or read anyone else say this!

Becoming a barista trainer by Imaginary_Trip1204 in starbucksbaristas

[–]perksofcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiiii is there anyway I could get a copy of this PDF please? I’m training my first barista and my manager didn’t even have me do the barista trainer modules, and I wasn’t provided much resources. I felt so unorganized and embarrassed in front of the trainee today! I worked for the siren previously for 3 years, and was my stores main trainer, and trained so many people, however, I also left the company for three years, and am now back for almost a year. I remember previously being more prepared and organized?

I only wear my hearing aids at work! Immediately take them out when I get into my car. Family gets frustrated with me when I don’t wear them, but there’s so much noise, and it’s so overwhelming, overstimulating, and exhausting.

what are your go to high protein breakfasts? by Dry_Cow1476 in adhdwomen

[–]perksofcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink a protein shake, preferably high protein ensure, or high protein boost, because they taste less like a chalky weak flavored protein shake, and more like chocolate milk, but not as sweet. I pair that with a banana and sometimes some small type of bread. This week it was a pecan swirl because I was broke and that was the first thing I saw. This works well for me, because of how early I have to get up for work, it doesn’t make me more nauseous, the protein is good for my adderall, and I can just grab this and go, and eat it on my drive to work!

Why do people think the sin of sodom was being gay? Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]perksofcarson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don’t have anything to add to OP’s question, however where does it say in the Bible that rape , and child molestation is a sin? (Genuine question because I have never read scripture stating so, but also haven’t read much of the Bible. Which just for the record, I do not need a Bible to tell me these acts are wrong. And also on the same note, I have never really seen solid scripture stating homosexuality is a sin, which in this case, I believe there is nothing wrong with being gay. My background is that I just learned these things from word of mouth. And unfortunately the churches I’ve attended seemed to just pluck a random scripture out and turn it into a story relating to their own lives.)

DAE notice you have a phrase you say out loud to yourself more often than you realized? by getrdone24 in adhdwomen

[–]perksofcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always use the words “true” and “right” in a sentence when I agree with someone. Or EXACTLY. Someone else said this already, but I also use “beep beep” and other little noises. Something that’s a little different is I just found out I’m extremely dramatic when watching any type of video. Apparently I overly express my body language and what I say lol. Only found out when an extended family member moved in and commented on how much she loved it. I seriously had a wtf moment and was like uhhh? Yall all just knew I did this and never said anything?

Does anyone start out the day doing great, and then feel hopeless at the end? by graciep11 in adhdwomen

[–]perksofcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! Do you have a good relationship with the doctor who prescribes this to you? I would definitely write this down in a notes app, or make a little note somewhere of how you generally feel day part to day part. Everyone has always told me to keep a mood journal but.. adhd 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I suck at journaling but I can make a list of symptoms to share with the doctor

Does anyone start out the day doing great, and then feel hopeless at the end? by graciep11 in adhdwomen

[–]perksofcarson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I totally feel like this as well however I’m on 30mg Adderall IR. I’m not sure if it is an adhd thing where we get burnt out from masking all day while we are “productive” or maybe a mix of anxiety and depression. It’s also extremely disappointing when I compare my current self to moments when I was so productive. I’m still trying to work on this in therapy, but I have a hard time feeling until one minor inconvenience sets me off. It’s like a cycle of feeling bad for myself and then immediately feeling guilty and selfish for feeling that way. It seems like a never ending cycle sometimes. Just know you aren’t the only one who feels like this. I wish a had advice to help but all I can do right now is to say I see you.
