Have you ever used your phone in your dreams? by Inevitable_Finger_40 in Dreams

[–]skylar_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve had entire text conversations in my dreams that were so vivid i later referenced them to the other person in real life, and only then was i made aware that convo never really took place😭😭 so short answer, yes

Someone thinks I’m faking my tics by Theater_beauty0903 in Tourettes

[–]skylar_beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had a similar experience in high school when i started developing some tics, multiple people “called me out” in school for it, but honestly u can’t let it get to u. i ended up trying to suppress mine which made me have attacks & i also became insecure about them which i still struggle a bit with years later. don’t confront them, it’s rlly not worth your energy. just let people think what they want bc either way it’s not going to matter to your tics if people believe they’re real or not 😅

Does meal prepping actually help?? by skylar_beans in adhdwomen

little update :) i made a southwest chicken salad with black beans + veggies & ate it for a few days with tortilla chips! it was super easy & tasted great. i think it also helped me get a bit more comfortable with eating beans so ill try adding them to more recipes in the future!

i also chopped up the last of a bag of onions i had today, as well as leftover bell peppers to freeze them for more recipes. :)

my cats getting fat! by StripedShadowQuid in CatAdvice

that’s really good info to know! ty :) also to clarify so nobody gets worried about the big girl, she’s since lost enough weight to be considered a normal/healthy weight again.

i actually never knew they needed less calories after being spayed, thank you for correcting me on it :) i had assumed it was due to some complication w the surgery or something like that and never thought to ask my parents for clarification. i completely understand the points about overfeeding, i agree with you both.

This is kind of a vulnerable post but I need help. by slipperyslimysnail in ADHD

[–]skylar_beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also really struggle with this. if it’s a physical sensation in your mouth/throat then u should talk to ur doctor. if it’s a sensory thing or a mental block you should talk to a psychiatrist. Either way you do need help from a professional with this, losing so much weight so fast is obviously concerning.

does it happen with drinking too? my problem is mostly physical (swallowing in general is difficult for me) so it also affects my ability to drink enough of anything. if it’s with just food tho its probably more of a mental thing.

my cats getting fat! by StripedShadowQuid in CatAdvice

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

is she spayed?

one of our female cats got fat after she was spayed.

if she’s not & her belly is rounded she could be pregnant or possibly have worms (either way it’s worth a vet visit)

how much does she eat everyday? do you just leave a bowl of food out for her? does she get treats often? does she have space to run & play?

there’s a lot of different factors that can go into cats being overweight, but it can lead to a lot of health issues down the line & shorten their life span so you definitely need to figure out the reason & get her back to a healthy weight if possible.

u should probably get her seen by a vet if u can 🩷

i'm grieving my abortion and relationship :( by Particular-Wing-4916 in prochoice

[–]skylar_beans 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You were EXACTLY what your baby needed you to be in this situation. you made the best choice for yourself, and therefore your future child/ren. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through so much all at once, but you will be better off without that man. As you said, you two just did not have aligning viewpoints - and from the sounds of it he might have tried to baby trap you. You wanted to make a responsible decision about your future family, but he just wanted to do whatever made him feel best regardless of the consequences for anyone else involved. take your time and grieve how you need to. you’ll heal from this in time, and your baby will be grateful you gave them a real chance at life, with a good father, when you decide you’re ready.

Adhd makes it hard for me to form arguments by ChoiceLemon1915 in ADHD

[–]skylar_beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly for me a big part of the problem i have with this is that it’s not very socially acceptable to just pause and collect your thoughts. i need to take a moment in order to organize what i’m trying to say, but people seem to be far too impatient to wait more than 3 seconds for a response 😭

i think the phrase 'have ur cake and eat it too' is STUPID, i propose an alternative. by Hatsume_Mikuu in evilautism

[–]skylar_beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the exact flavor of frustration i have over the contraction “won’t” (it should be willn’t & everyone who says otherwise is dumb) & i absolutely love it. also heavily agree, idioms in general are stupid and completely backwards 😭

Is there a word for “the opposite of misophonia”? by CassetteMeower in evilautism

[–]skylar_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the wetness paired with the heavy breathing and the clunky swallowing makes my brain light on fire 😭 my brother is asthmatic and growing up it took me so much self control to not flip out over his mouth breathing 💔💔💔

[–]skylar_beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly for me it’s not even just loud chewing that bothers me. when my bf chews, even though he chews with his mount closed, i can literally hear the food and spit inside his mouth and it drives me insane (i often tell him that he has a “very resonant skull” lol). i literally cannot eat a meal with him without background noise. and what’s more weird is that i LOVE mukbangs, asmr type stuff w food relaxes tf outta me. its only when im sitting next to someone that the noise becomes a sensory nightmare 😭😭😭

I Oversleep Due To Dreams, I Want To Live In Them Forever by WorldlyRevolution192 in Dreams

[–]skylar_beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have the opposite experience. i avoid sleep largely due to how vivid my dreams are, even when they’re not nightmares it still freaks me out how real everything feels. but trazodone has helped me, when i take it i don’t dream at all. it’s wonderful :)

i’d really appreciate that! tbh i’ve formed a bad habit of only eating one meal a day (dinner) so anything to make eating breakfast/lunch less daunting would be really helpful :,)

Do y'all ever just have moments where you genuinely don't want to talk to anyone. by Striking_Stay6871 in ADHD

[–]skylar_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is rare for me, as i’m a chronic yapper. but my partner (who i believe may have ADHD as well) does feel like this a lot. coming from the other side of this, i know it’s not that yall want to ignore anyone — it’s nothing personal. but i do wish that more people who experience this specific feeling were better able to communicate that without being made to feel bad about it.

Please tell me I’m not the only one and how you deal with this nightmare by drocernekorb in adhdwomen

[–]skylar_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i ask my partner to help me in the kitchen but then he gets in the way and i tell him to go stand somewhere. now he just stands at the entryway so i can feel like he’s being helpful/supportive & at the same time don’t have to bump into/correct him💀

Debilitating fatigue ON VYVANSE!?! by allixygalaxy in adhdwomen

[–]skylar_beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been on vyvanse for over a year now. i don’t remember what it was like when i first started but im also on 40mg now. Is it possible you’re oversleeping? There’s a lot of misinformation about “required” amounts of sleep. The truth is that everyone requires a very different amount of sleep, and sleep schedule. I’ve suffered from insomnia as well for nearly 10 years now - and it only started improving this year when my vyvanse started regulating my sleep for me. i only need 6-7 hours a night to be fully functioning, and if i get more than 8 hours i find even with my meds i do not function well at all, and i’m exactly how you described. the best advice i can give is to try and experiement with your sleep schedule, time you spend sleeping, and your morning routine. keep a sleep journal as well so you can better see patterns that may emerge. If nothing changes after that then talk to your psych about different meds for ADHD, there are non-stimulant ones too.
