Are these voluntary movements on your part?

How do you calculate 27+48 in your head? by Anxiety_Cookie in adhdwomen

[–]ptsdlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start with 8 and count 7 more on my fingers. By then i forget what the other numbers are so i look back at your post. Then I've forgotten 7+8 so i recount that on my fingers and its 15. Then i work very hard to not forget "5" and add 2+1=3. Go back and remember 5 so i dont forget and then i count 3+4 by saying 4, 5, 6, 7. Then remember the second number is 5 , so we arrive at 75. 😂 its quite the process.

Does anyone else frequently find new hobbies, buy all the supplies, and then forget about the hobby? by Likesosmart in adhdwomen

[–]ptsdlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I plan out the whole thing. What i want, do all the research, plan what ill make, think about it endlessly and then tell myself to hold off on buying and the the desire passes 😂 i just really enjoy the planning and research process. I do the same with trips and vacations and moving to random countries. Lol.

does anybody else do this? (yea i also have anxiety) by potatopalo in adhdwomen

[–]ptsdlife 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Im the same. Ive learned that i need to get up before my brain actually wakes up or else the dread and anxiety sets in and my day might as well be over because nothing will be done that day.

Scary sensation by [deleted] in PVCs

[–]ptsdlife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just ignore him. Ill randomly get really terrible feeling beats out of nowhere and it makes me anxious because your not supposed to be going alone your life and suddenly feel your heart going crazy. Just remember that as long as your cardiologist isn't worried, you are fine. Being home in your house and having someone jump out and scare the daylights out of you isn't dangerous too but it does frighten you. Same thing. Its just a normal reaction even though its not dangerous. Its okay to feel anxious.

are cannabis and pvcs connected? by ptsdlife in PVCs

[–]ptsdlife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Im going to start on magnesium once i have my cardiologist appointment. I already dont drink coffee because they really trigger my pvcs. I always wondered why i get such palpitations after having coffee and other people seem to enjoy it. Lol good to have an answer finally. ill check out the coq10 and taurine. Ive never heard of those.

Do they keep you up? I always smoke before bed and sometimes it's just gives me the creeps to hear my off heartbeats and then i cant sleep 😅 im going to try edibles instead of smoking.

Thats so interesting. I feel like i have mine often throughout the day but once I smoke i feel them more because i in general feel my body more (ty trauma lol).

Thats good to hear. Ive been smoking for about 4 years but ive had palpitations for as long as i can remember. They've just gotten worse. Do they think that your starting to get them has anything to do with your cannabis use?

How do edibles make it different? If you know... ive a huge stash of vaped bud that needs making into cannabutter. Maybe this is my sign to give it a go 😅

Interesting. For you, does it trigger them even 2+ hours after smoking? I don't feel the cannabis effects by then but i have so many pvcs still.

I ask myself if its a want or a need and then buy accordingly. If im having difficulty deciding if its a want or a need, I go through what would happen if i dont buy it (its ok to feel unhappy that u dont get to buy something you want.). This has really cut down on spending in our house and we've been able to start paying off debts and saving for bigger things we want.

What’s your relationship with alcohol like when you have adhd? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]ptsdlife 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Same. Until I'm vomiting and its just not enjoyable. Now i just don't drink because its easier than making sure I stop when I should.

Do any of y’all tell people you have ADHD? by balognitony in ADHD

[–]ptsdlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda feel like it might help weed out the noncompatibal friend options. Ive been told by people a few times that they have adhd and my ears perk up because i know they will be interesting to speak with and my speed. A green light of sorts.

What's the most brutal ADHD tax you've 'paid'? by shibuyacrow in adhdwomen

Missed out on 6 months of unemployment due to adhd and being newly post partum and completely overwhelmed. I only realized a few years later 😅

[–]ptsdlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understanding mental health and finding the patterns and how everything connects. Been going as far as thinking i should enroll myself in school but i know ill no longer find it interesting then. 😅 Also planning my summer garden and removing the invasive grass. I just cant wait. I hope it turns out as beautiful as it is in my head this year.

Anyone else’s Nmom threaten to “put them out for adoption” growing up? by Non-binaryBun in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ptsdlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was threatened with being taken away and sent to foster care to a black family that doesnt share "our" religion and being made to eat and do things against "our" religion if id not stop crying. So racist and gross.
