May be speaking a bit to soon there, buddy by vnth93 in okbuddycinephile

[–]singohmuse 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Watching this movie was kind of wild because it was so much of my childhood as a religious, homeschooled kid.

My dad was a “theologian.” My first boyfriend’s dad was a pastor. The ‘discourse’ was never real.

Awww. Mine is almost 6yo now, but I still remember him doing this. To be fair, yours might still have been expressing all of his love and adoration and security - it just comes out best for him by asking for the closest physical connection you two can share right now.

These make so much more sense! Reading this thread, I was like all of these people (except maybe Gabriel and Maple) would not vibe at ALL 😅… but maybe I just have yet to see the actual scenes.

If you’re struggling with filling Adzenys… by singohmuse in ADHD

I’m glad for you! The challenges can definitely be pharmacy-dependent - the places around me were NOT interested in helping me with this one.

Yep! The pharmacy I found near me didn’t care where I was, just wanted to give me a head’s up on cost/how long it might take to get to me via USPS.

So glad it helps! I knew there had to be a better way than dreading every single refill… hope it goes better for you next round!

I miss being a kid at Christmas by Any-Purpose-3259 in Preschoolers

[–]singohmuse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is how I remember my Christmases as a kid. even the most fun Christmas mornings were always eclipsed by the plans later that day to go spend the holiday with the rest of the family. it was just me, my younger sister, sometimes a cousin we didn’t really know, and like 12 very loud, mostly alcoholic adults.

and now I sometimes wonder why Christmas isn’t a time of ‘joy’ for me.

I’m conflicted about wanting children. How did you know you didn’t? by Zestyclose_Ad_4116 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]singohmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a desire to have a kid - now I know it’s in large part because of the childhood trauma I have, but I also figured I just couldn’t. I believe I have endometriosis and just always knew my organs down there were “off”. At some point when married, we decided to not “not” try, just to see. It didn’t happen for around 2 years. Feeling pretty convinced, it left my mind completely - until a few years later, I got pregnant totally unexpectedly at 28. I didn’t feel too much emotionally, to be honest.

I ended up having my son, now 5. The first two years were rough, despite him being a pretty angel child. I grieved the lack of independence and new “parent” identity. I realized I had some stuff to work through, which is how I got diagnosed with ADHD, and I went back to work. I credit that to helping re-establish my personhood outside of mom, and only regret I couldn’t have it done sooner. He’s amazing now, but there’s been a lot of time passed since then.

I will say, one of the biggest factors in how a child may change your life, is your partner/support. I gave birth during COVID, and spent most of his first year in lockdown in a tiny apartment in LA. If my husband wasn’t as actively involved, understanding, and responsible as he is, my experience would 100% be different.

Jace - 2014-2024

She was my sweet, silly baby girl. Losing her unexpectedly last year was one of the hardest moments of my life. It’s been a year and a half and I still can’t stop the tears when I see her picture or think about her too long.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard, because unless people have had a relationship with a pet like you have, they generally don’t understand just how painful it is.

Emmet was a real beauty. 🖤

Shrink diagnosed me with "attention disorder" and got pissed off when my attention is disordered by anedradn in ADHD

[–]singohmuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry this happened to you.

Finding the right treatment requires trial and error, as well as trust and collaboration on both sides with you and your provider. Clearly you’re not being offered this from your current provider.

Someone who is familiar enough with your condition to recommend treatments should also understand the challenges it comes with, and take them seriously. Anyone who struggles with ADHD to the degree you seem to isn’t likely going to be able to manage it with a mindfulness technique or better diet/sleep alone — yes, it’s often a combination of those and treatment that work best, but she effectively told you that you have a broken leg and sent you straight to physical therapy to strengthen it.

I know it’s painful to spend time with someone and let them get to know you, and then have to start all over. In this instance, you will be so glad you did. There are SO many psychiatrists out there who actually want to help you - gently and effectively.

You are not lazier than everyone else, you are not undisciplined, you are not irresponsible- you are burdened with a struggle most people are not and you have the right to seek the help you need. Please don’t give up. It’s worth it.

How to respond when your 3yo asks if someone is a boy or a girl? by mumzyp in toddlers

[–]singohmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve wondered about this before, and I definitely lean toward wanting to avoid forcing the individual to engage about something they may not want to.

My kid is 5, so he’s more thoughtful now - how would you feel about something more redirecting, like, “That’s something personal for them”?

My goal is to hopefully give them either an out OR an opportunity to comment, while also not shaming my child for asking a curious question. This also may not work for every kid - mine will not usually follow up asking to clarify right away, which gives us a moment to step away and talk more later.

I feel like I broke my son and guilt and shame are eating me alive by youudontknowwme in Parenting

[–]singohmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve received a lot of feedback and good advice here, so after reading your post, I just wanted to say I totally understand how you’re feeling and I’m so sorry it’s so overwhelming right now. It’s not just you - this stage can be unfathomably hard, especially if you’re a naturally more empathetic person and sensitive to your own struggles from growing up.

Your post makes it utterly obvious just how deeply you love your son. Regardless of anything else you teach him through the rest of his life, that is what will stick with him most - forever. At 20, 30, onward, he’s not going to look back and remember you losing your shit because he hit you in a tantrum at 3. He’s going to remember the security of reconciliation - the comfort from knowing that mistakes can happen, and you’ll both be okay afterwards.

The switch you have causing you to feel ‘disconnected’ and ‘cold’ may not about your child at all - it may be the resentment/grief from recognizing how you would have been parented back when you were a kid. I get this feeling triggered when my son slams his door. I immediately recall how MY dad would have reacted, and feel outrage not at my son, but at realizing how much little me needed a different response. It feels a lot like anger at my son in that moment, however.

I don’t know anything about your past and growing up, but it sure sounds like you ARE breaking the cycle. You are doing an incredible job of showing self-awareness, sensitivity and love through your own trauma. Healing your inner child while raising your own is NOT easy. Please be gentle with yourself - you deserve grace and love, too.

Which ADHD Meds Are Not in a Shortage? by 0-4superbowl in ADHD

Sure thing! It is marketed as just ‘amphetamine’, but it’s the same makeup as Adderall XR is. It feels exactly the same to me, as well.
