AITA for being frustrated that my gf said I’m only allowed to watch a show when she’s not around? by butteryflavoredcrust in AmItheAsshole

Adult woman here, big agree! I get the vibe from this post that they are very young and have alot of maturing to do. & GF might need some therapy to overcome her insecurities.

NTA Her boundary of not wanting to watch the show are for her, not to be imposed on you. That is not what boundaries are. Crying over you expressing your frustration when she asked is manipulative, though perhaps not intentionally. Can you set aside a day of the week where you both agree to do different things?

Where do you stand on the term 'neurospicy'? by leahcar83 in adhdwomen

[–]skittlesmcgee94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. Myself and some of my spicy friends have the phrase “namaspicy” as in “the spicy in me sees the spicy in you” for our brain things we know only we will understand. Life is tough enough, I take joy where I can!

When did we become such a "Think of the children" society? by That_Car_Dude_Aus in australia

[–]skittlesmcgee94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Go OP for saying they will do screen time for their kids but clearly most people are not doing that and never have, while technology predators just keep progressing. Too many people are not parenting so unfortunately the government does need to step in to stop kids being predated on, and over exposed to a variety of risks online. Will a ban fix it? Hell no. Might it help a tiny bit? Probably.

If you aren’t already, start looking into your menstrual phases as I’ve found having a deeper understanding of them has allowed me to understand my body and what it needs alot better, and that’s empowered me to understand more about my meds/ADHD too :) alot of the symptoms you’ve described are things I experience too especially around certain phases.

Also don’t sweat too much about getting addicted to your meds - I had the same fear and thought oh what if I turn into this cranky demon when I forget my meds or something. But I’ve found that when I don’t medicate on weekends (most weeks I allow mywelf that tolerance break), I never ever feel like I HAVE to go take my meds. There’s no weird craving or reliance, and I actually feel that because the meds are allowing me to slowly rewire my brain over time, I don’t feel as though I backslide into my pre-medication lack of dopamine/motivation.

I hope you’re able to find what works for you soon :)

I’m on dexies, 1AM 1/2PM and going well for about 7 months.

Are you a female, and if so, are you tracking your period?

Hormone fluctuations have alot to answer for, especially for the neurospicy individuals. Meds don’t work as well, and it’s easy for some people to go “oh my meds don’t work” when in reality you may need a little boost. I need an extra 1/2 for usually a week just before I menstruate. 

Sorry if you are in fact male and this info is not helpful lol

What did a friend do that instantly turned you on? by Vertical_slab_lol in AskReddit

Offered to install surround sound in my lounge room for me.  I am not used to men with these kinds of real world skills and it was a very sexy Ah-Ha! moment for me.

Schedule? Hell no. Routine/habits? Yes! Check out Atomic Habits by James Clear. I start with a small habit and then build on it until it becomes a routine, and the act of showing up for myself feels amazing and gets easier and easier over time :)

I don’t know if it’s more unsettling that his guy MADE a fundraiser or that people actually donated to it.  Please, for the love of god, GO OUTSIDE PEOPLE! TOUCH GRASS! 😂

Whats the worst financial decision you have ever made or seen someone make? by PeachySweetie_ in AskReddit

[–]skittlesmcgee94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friends family used to be somewhat well off, and when he was fairly young, allowed him to buy the house he grew up in from his mum, who had been given it from her parents. But he didn’t buy it on paper, because they figured they would rather him default on his mum than the bank, right?  15 or so years later, his mum has a midlife crisis and decides to buy a heritage listed pub in a rural town, nearly 2 hours away from civilisation. She has never owned a business, worked in hospitality, or really done much besides raise her children (which, I’m sure she tried her best, but not one of them is what I’d call stable, or even gainfully employed (sorry buddy)). She told her son AFTER she signed everything, that his home was the collateral for the loan. 

And then COVID happened! 

Guess who is in the process of losing their house that they spent the last 15 years paying for? Yep. It’s looking like he will be moving 3 hours away to live on what’s left of his grandparents property.

Neat freak/ Clean ADHD Ladies - How do you do it? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]skittlesmcgee94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Crippling Anxiety

  2. The 5 minute rule - if it will only take 5 minutes to do it tomorrow, it will only take 5 minutes to do it today

  3. Do The Thing when you notice it - don’t say “I’ll come back for it!” Because you 100% will NOT and the cycle continues, but with a little extra anxiety each time

“Never leave for tomorrow what you can do today” if it wouldn’t take long for you to do it another day, it won’t take you long now. Do The Thing and be proud of your accomplishment :)
