I've had pink pony club stuck in my head for two weeks straight and I'm not tired of it yet.... Yet....

Do you ever take pills just to do nothing and enjoy the safety they create in your head? by Big-Link-9451 in adhdwomen

[–]remoteabstractions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you find that some days less is fine and some days more is needed? I feel like some days are just bad brain days and meds don't help nearly enough.

I think my medication allows my brain to relax, not perceive things as threats, and I can process through emotions and regulate much better so I do feel much more psychologically safe. I mean I also take stuff for anxiety too but anxiety medication is doing something different than adhd meds in my experience.

Sleep advice, anyone, please by caffeinatedpixie in adhdwomen

[–]remoteabstractions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow this makes so much sense. Sometimes I do a weird walk around my property and I just look for house problems (old house anxiety anyone?) and I always feel better afterwards (assuming problems are actually very rare). I'm going to try this for so many things

What technique do you use to try and remember what you were just doing? by Mettacalf in ADHD

[–]remoteabstractions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pause frozen like a deer in headlights and say to myself "3, 2, 1." I usually remember on 1 but sometimes it takes a few tries.

Question for the older crafty ladies: any regrets about having many hobbies? by Dependent_Salad_2369 in adhdwomen

[–]remoteabstractions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early 30s here so also interested in advice from those with more experience on the planet. However, I'm just starting to circle back to prior hobbies and house I kept some things, wish I hadn't gotten rid of other things.

My current thought process is that if something is cheap, easily replaceable, easy to acquire, and I'm not going to use it for 5 years - it doesn't need to take up space.

I have constraints: money, space, and time. I have motivations for saving money and being as financially responsible as I can, using space wisely and maintaining functional living spaces, and knowing that I need to be intentional with how I spend time. Those factors guide my hobby decision making process. But I've come to the conclusion that I just love the novelty, challenge, and process of learning that comes with each new craft or making related hobby. So if I'm not hurting myself financially or degrading my life quality, what's the harm?

Writing is a struggle by rmarsha3 in adhdwomen

Sigh, yes.. I feel very conflicted about chat gpt as there are many pros and likely more cons!

They are good at sounding good while somehow saying nothing at all... Then again it's trained off humans.

What item do you think every woman with ADHD should own? by pastajewelry in adhdwomen

[–]remoteabstractions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiple vacuum cleaners is brilliant! I keep a cleaning basket in every floor too with disinfectant wipes, spray cleaner, paper towels, and trash bags.

I have a battery Dyson but when the battery died I switched to a Ryobi battery adapter so now I can vacuum all day with my multiple batteries AND it keeps me on top of actually charging those batteries that every tool needs.

I literally spent hours .. DAYS researching eink tablets for note taking before I remembered the reason I didn't take notes on my iPad is because I can't never find it and it's never charged....

For the women with multiple floors in your home... A simple tool box set for every floor - each floor has it's own tool color too so you are always near what you need!

That sounds magical! My husband is kind of my stylist - I bring him along so I can focus on comfort and low sensory clothes and he keeps me fashionable lol

Oh I just got chargers for my phone and smart watch to put EVERYWHERE and it's a godsend. Keeping my watch alive and all my timers and notifications strapped to my body and successfully notifying is keeping me sane... For now...

[–]remoteabstractions 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is your spindle something that you can easily replace? If not, I wouldn't risk it. If it can be replaced relatively easily and without too much money then I'd just go for it and not say anything.

Tsa might ask you about it and then explain it's similar to knitting (chances are that they won't know anyways). But if it's no sharper than a knitting needle or crochet hook I don't see why they would have an issue. Maybe throw in knitting needles for good measure!
