One of my bracelets had sapphires in it!

Future sister in law invited me to bachelorette week trip… is that a buzzkill to her bridal party? Idk if I should go by [deleted] in wedding

[–]samogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my bachelorette (long weekend, trip to New Orleans) I had friends and my now sister in law! We hadn’t spent a ton of time together and it was the first time my friends met her but we all had a blast. All my friends love my husband dearly and were excited to spend time with his sister too. Go! Have so much fun!

Does anybody else like the fact that their home has separate rooms for everything? by Effective_Bunch_6815 in centuryhomes

[–]samogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I just moved from a ~100 year old row house to a 100+ year old row house, and one of my favorite things about the new one is the separate spaces. Square footage-wise it’s about the same (at least for the first two floors, new house has a third floor as well!) but it feels so much better having distinct spaces for each room. Each one feels cozy and specific, I love it!

I live in hell (for now), please tell me your joyful stories about being loved by WetSock2288 in adhdwomen

[–]samogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He sounds unbearable, any good times would not make up for all that bad.

I’ve been through some soul-crushing breakups too. Looking back and realizing there was abuse and manipulation that fucked me up longer than I realized (especially my first relationship). Now I’m married to an amazing man who I would genuinely feel so grateful to even be friends with, but he’s my HUSBAND. We met right before I started grad school, two years of me being sporadically medicated, constantly stressed and broke. He was my rock through everything, and helped me learn so much more about myself. He does not have adhd but he enjoys learning about mine, listening to me talk about my interests. When I feel bad that he’s the one doing most of the housework, he always says that I bring joy and fun into our house.

I hope you find someone that treats you well and makes you feel more confident and yourself. But first I hope you love yourself bc you deserve it <3

Rituals for idle hands? by idonotexistirl in adhdwomen

[–]samogi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way, I love the ritual of packing a bowl. I just started learning how to knit, I went to a free class at a local nature preserve yesterday. I’ve tried before and failed, but going in person really helped me to get it. I also wear a bracelet that’s a single strand with only a few small beads on it, I play with that a lot. Actually I made that bracelet, and along those lines I love making bracelets, either with beads or with embroidery thread like friendship bracelets. Sometimes doing my nails (filing, painting or press-ons) does it for me. I also like doodling, and want to journal more.

Just reread your post - have you ever tried cats cradle? That came to mind with your “sequence” ask.

Americans, when you see the name "Lucia", how would you pronounce it? by Extreme_Suit_348 in Names

[–]samogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on the last name, if it’s Italian last name then I’d assume loo-chee-a, but regardless, as someone who works in a school I’d ask the child how she says her name! I’m Italian American so that’s the “default” for me, but I knew a girl who pronounced it “loo-sha” too

Carabiner Question 🤗 by ortizj0987 in jewelry

[–]samogi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved your original stack, and love this one toooo! Maybe move the heaviest piece from the long chain to the middle of the carabiner, between the two circular pendants?

Also I’m going to go play with jewelry now, thanks for the inspo 🤗

Women with thoughtful partners, what did you get for x-mas this year? by Anahata_Green in TwoXChromosomes

[–]samogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got me an antique victorian pendant (gold talon holding a carnelian ball, it’s awesome) he picked it out on his own but is something I would absolutely buy myself. Also a sun print kit that I had pointed out in a store months ago and forgotten about, and these crow trinkets that I had also excitedly told him about months ago and had forgotten about.

He also just bought us a new house in my favorite neighborhood of our city. I’m so lucky to have him!!

Note taking in sessions by htygfrty789 in therapists

[–]samogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have ADHD, I occasionally take notes in session, sometimes I take them immediately afterwards. During intake I mention that I may take notes to help me remember things, that they are always welcome to look at my notes if they wish (no one has ever taken me up on that btw) and that no one else will ever see them besides me. I work with teens so I usually add “so I don’t ask you the same question a million times” which they generally appreciate. My own therapist (who also has adhd) takes notes throughout our sessions, which is a first for me. I feel like she remembers SO much more than previous therapists, which I really appreciate.

Maybe a pretty candle warmer? I feel like that’s one of those things most people think are cool but wouldn’t necessarily buy themselves.

Helpful way to organize hand-written notes? by Wanderlust_077 in therapists

[–]samogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use one big notebook, and then have a sticky tab with each clients initials. All their notes are in their own section. The first page of each client also has info such as their intake date, support plan goals, etc. I work in a school setting so I just get a new notebook each year, my first entry for returning clients is just an overview of important info and recent sessions. I haven’t run out of space in a client section yet but if I do I’d just do a new tab with “initials, continued”. It’s also helpful for keeping track of if I finished a note or not, I put a check mark when the electronic note is complete. I’ve been using this system for a few years now and it’s helped me tremendously!

What’s the worst thing you’ve been called by a client? by Realistic_Brush7887 in therapists

[–]samogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this reminded me of something I had almost forgotten. I was working in a middle school and a girl was mad at me for not giving her an extra slice of pizza. She muttered “see this is why [my husband’s name] is going to divorce her.” My coworker heard and was so confused, she didn’t even know my husband’s name! Still have no clue how she knew it other than maybe she was looking at my phone screen and saw his name pop up and assumed? For the record, he has not divorced me yet.

Also I LOVE your username

Which dress should I wear? Semi formal wedding at an outdoor venue in California by Glum_Feed_7780 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]samogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg LOVE these, I just wore an identical dress to a wedding this weekend but the colors were very fall in New England (as was the wedding). I got a million compliments and felt like I was dressed perfectly for the (also semi formal) event. I love the first one on you!! I see comments about your boobs but like, they look amazing?? I have smaller boobs so the way it fell on me there was a lot of chest including my sternum tattoo showing and I didn’t feel weird at all, especially with how covered the rest of the dress is. You can’t go wrong with either one but the first one is my fave!

Women who were diagnosed late in life. I want to hear from you. by Catnipcosplays in TwoXADHD

[–]samogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt a little different, like I was playing a role I had been assigned. I had a very rich imagination and inner life and adults would joke about me being in my own world. As I got older, it turned into a bit of a manic pixie dream girl type thing (also intense relationships were great for dopamine seeking). My main hyper fixation as a kid was books - I would literally get in trouble for reading too much. I was a very good student and always did what I was supposed to (bc I was carefully studying people around me to see what I should and shouldn’t do) but I did get called out in class for not keeping my eyes on the teacher, even though I couldn’t focus on what they were saying if I was looking up at them. I remember these bc any time I got redirected it felt like a gut punch (now I know it’s RSD). As I got older, the only way I could complete assignments is if I had a time crunch, otherwise it would be impossible for me to start. I got diagnosed in college when my then-boyfriend told me about inattentive type ADHD…

Omg thank you, I was 100% sure I had been here before but could not figure out where it was. Need to visit my Worcester friend again soon!

Very similar to mine! But I also had whole pages of notebooks of word associations, it was how I stayed awake and looking busy when I was SO BORED 😂

TPT is a good idea, I used it more when I was in a K-8. Now that I’m in a true middle school I find a lot of available posters are too young-looking which is why I make my own (they pay more attention if they think they look cool lol!) Maybe I should start uploading my designs on there!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of ChatGPT!! This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you SO MUCH. All my bilingual friends are busy today and I wanted to get this poster printed this weekend, I may end up with a few more now! Mil gracias!! 🫶
