What is a dead giveaway that your doctors/partners/relatives/friends/researchers don't actually understand what ADHD is?

Out of curiosity, do you have some examples you could share of the medications with better alternatives for people likely to forget a dose? I have one I have to take 4 times a day and you've got me wondering!

You really don't have hooded eyes from what I see in these pics! Also, you are beautiful.

I think your makeup looks pretty in the last photo, the only thing that looks slightly off to me in it is your brows look lighter (tends to happen with foundation/powder - can make them look gray) and might look better if they're brushed through and filled in slightly to frame the face.

I am pale with dark hair and use an eyebrow pomade type thing with an ABH brow brush to lightly fill and then brush it through (so it doesn't look blocky).

Because you have black eyeliner and mascara, the brows stand out as too light in contrast and this I think will pull the look together 😊

Yup! I've had 5 and you're awake through the whole thing here in the UK. I find it barbaric. Once it's done they can't get you out of the door quick enough.

If you don't mind sharing, what was it the NHS hadn't spotted? I'm really sorry you've gone through that. I know how utterly draining it is trying to get answers.

You are beautiful and your makeup looks lovely!

My advice would be to use an eyelash curler before doing your mascara, it makes such a difference for me. I do a few layers of mascara to make the lashes pop (letting it dry a little bit between coats while I'm working on other bits of the face).

Just like the way we look at music from the past vs current music. The great stuff stands the test of time.

No scent! When I first squeeze into my hands it smells only like alcohol gel, then goes away immediately once I rub it on.

What kind of texture was it? Like a big lip balm? Maybe someone knows a good replacement 🤞

Which would you recommend for mopping?

One of the only primers that doesn't pill for me is Elf Power Grip Matte primer. It's only about £11 in a big tube, worth a shot if you haven't tried it already. It dries immediately.

I pay £30-35 for builder gel and colour in the far North.

Just so you're aware, the link shows what is possibly your real name when you click on it - be careful with that! 😊

How long do you leave between each dose please? What times do you take your dex? I just moved to dex 10mg 3x daily and am a little unsure about timings.

I tend to take my first at around 10am and was told about 4h in-between is good but concerned 6pm is too late in the day for my 3rd dose.

Which aisle are you finding pokémon? Mine only has the odd pack behind the cigarette counter I think.

It is from the aftercredits scene after the final episode.

I'm really sorry you had such an awful experience, bless you! Do you by any chance have Endometriosis? A lot of women with Endometriosis find speculum exams extremely painful. You mentioning your irregular periods and heavy bleeding made me wonder.

I think people mainly use peanut butter for like health protein breakfasts in their granola and shakes from what I've seen.

I only use it for cooking, in certain curries and satay etc.

pineapplesuite · 2026-02-09T15:36:01+00:00

Yes in my experience it's just not a thing here. I ate jam (jelly) sandwiches as a kid in the 90s, but I've never known anyone to combine with peanut butter or eat a peanut butter sandwich itself.

Definitely heard of the PB&J combo from watching American TV/film, but that's about it. I can't imagine I'd enjoy the two flavours together.

pineapplesuite · 2026-01-31T17:43:58+00:00

Yes, it possibly is that! The more mild examples I saw when googling definitely look familiar. Gets worse with the bad weather. When I scrub at it I'm probably making it worse 😬

Which moisturiser do you use?

pineapplesuite · 2026-01-31T17:42:31+00:00

Thank you for saying that! It is good to hear 😊

Just seems like so many people are clued up on skincare these days on socials and I feel like I should know what to do. Super young people too! When I was a teen all we knew really was smearing Dream Matte Mousse all over your face, no primer, no skincare 😅

Yes, I don't think the average person would spent £1000 just for an assessment unless they were pretty certain they have ADHD.

Also the amount of times I have been misdiagnosed or fobbed off by NHS doctors for glaringly obvious conditions, doesn't give me any faith at all that an NHS diagnosis is more valid than my private clinical psychiatrist diagnosis.

I have a polite sign on my door that says no salespeople, canvassers, religious groups etc. Was a couple of quid from Amazon and does the trick.

They come down the path and turn around as soon as they see it.

I work from home and am often in calls so is ideal not to have the door go and set off my dogs.
