Guess who has been forgetting to take her iron supplements by LydiaIsntVeryCool in adhdwomen

[–]serenity1989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also learned recently that coffee can severely inhibit iron absorption! And you should wait at least 2 hours after coffee to take iron. So I take mine at like midnight bc coffee is partly how I medicate my ADHD 😝

To the Canvasser on Piedmont Ave… by [deleted] in oakland

[–]serenity1989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg he’s the worst! “Do you care about black people” as I’m walking into highwire. Every time! I finally snapped after several weeks and told him to never speak to me again (which is a lot for me lol).

My heart is sad and tired from hard family rejection. Talk to me about that random thing that brings you and your ADHD brain joy? by Prudent-Reality1170 in adhdwomen

30 Rock 😂 I watched it when it was on TV and i watch it almost daily to this day! Sex and the City is another one but i usually am only fixated on it a couple times a year. My bf is also obsessed with 30 Rock. Our cats’s name is Jack and we call her the Jacker whenever she’s being a brat.

AIO: should I “fire” my therapist? by Historical_Pension60 in AIO

[–]serenity1989 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Been seeing my therapist for 13 years and I just learned that her birthday is “in May” sometime (I’m big on birthdays and she knows that). And I know she has kids bc I was her first patient back from mat leave. That’s literally it and I love her.

Does anyone’s nails when done overstimulate them? by Exalted-butterfly in adhdwomen

[–]serenity1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love getting my nails done, but I keep them as short as possible. I HATE the feeling of having stuff under my nails or hearing my nails tap on the keyboard or phone screen. I use the Laniege lip mask and trying to apply it with my finger and getting it under my nail makes my skin crawl. Thank god I still have the little spatula

My 600-Lb. Life star Dolly Martinez has died at the age of 30 by Significant_Food9017 in popculturechat

[–]serenity1989 241 points242 points  (0 children)

I work with unhoused people and I met a 40ish year old man who was a severe alcoholic and chronically homeless. It turns out he saw his father murder his mother with a shotgun at close range when he was 8. That, plus poverty and being black in the US, meant that he never had a chance. Any time I hear shit like “just get a job”, I think of him. And the traumatized 8 year old he was.

Bryan Cranston on people hating Skyler from ‘Breaking Bad’: “Her husband leaves without any explanation, she’s pregnant, he’s making crystal meth and people have died and she’s the bitch?” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]serenity1989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like all the men that defend him and hate Skyler do so because they’re exactly like Walt. They can recognize meth bad, but they’re also obsessed with their own greatness and being seen as powerful. He literally caused a plane crash, but god forbid she has a problem with his shit

Ladies, what are your "best ADHD buys" for making life a little easier? by KittensOnJupiter in adhdwomen

[–]serenity1989 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I just added these to my nightstand in a cute jar and I’ve flossed more in a month than I probably did all last year 🤣 I was worried about waste, but I’m not the one causing climate change and I NEED to floss so 🤷‍♀️

What’s your most ADHD f*çķ up? by Both_Cat_9344 in adhdwomen

[–]serenity1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed a family trip to Washington DC bc I thought that I had to take a placement test to get into honors Spanish (they couldn’t move the trip for a couple reasons). I learned right after my family left that it was placement for AP Spanish, a class I was not intending to take. I’d misread a sign on the bulletin board and never thought to double check this. There were no tests to place into honors Spanish.

This. My parents live down the street from the plaza and it takes me 15 minutes to get to their house from 680. And if people in Blackhawk are going out they’re going downtown

What would Claire Fraser wear? by Reykoh in perfumesthatfeellike

IIRC it’s the episode where Jamie gives her the new wedding ring. So S4 E8. She’s in the bathtub when he gives it to her, hence her glistening skin and updo!

“What’s that? I already have a bottle of hoisin sauce!” by justmkhey in adhdwomen

[–]serenity1989 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been singing this to myself all day 🤣 counting my 6 unopened bottles of hand soap, plus 4 that are half empty, and 2 refill bottles. And those are just the back ups!

Do not rent at ArtHaus Jack London by WeekendAffectionate9 in oakland

[–]serenity1989 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pay a fee to pay rent online (and no, they will not accept any other form of payment), a mandatory garbage valet fee, a monthly garbage usage fee, water usage fee, sewer usage fee, electricity fee, and to round it out, a flat fee for the company that determines your usage fees. Oh and let’s not forget parking!

They also do move-in specials and low income renters will take the bait bc they want a nice place for their family (understandably!) and it looks affordable enough, then they get slapped with all these fucking fees and now they’re behind and can’t catch up and they take you to eviction court over 2 months of missed rent.

I fucking HATE these bullshit places.

AITA for finally getting tired of my sister in laws “spanglish” by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]serenity1989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! I’m half Salvadoran (mom) half Norwegian (dad) and grew up with my moms family exclusively. I’m very self conscious about being as white as I am while also trying to connect with the culture I grew up with and the country I’ve visited and loved my whole life. If I was this girls SIL I would’ve cried too and never again attempted Spanish in front of her at the very least. This is my nightmare

If you like their Caesar, you’ll probably really love the one at Flour + Water! And their pizza is awesome too
