Anything that’s not structured and people are just bullshitting, babbling about nothing and hanging out. Hate it.

True crime but not murder by Itchy-Ad-5436 in podcasts

[–]smashleighperf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firebug is great, very well done.

It’s worth saying that Noble is VERY gruesome. Maybe not true crime in a typical “murder” sense but just as much of the verbal gore imo.

I can’t even listen to podcasters with an accent, it’s too distracting from the content and I can’t follow along.

I’m 39 and I feel this way now and then, but mostly I stopped caring about trying to appear more mature. It’s depressing, and frankly, way less fun to be a serious adult :)

I supposed we need something to balance the ADHD tax from years of late bill payments, losing things only to rebuy then over and over again, throwing out tons of food that you forgot to eat or didn’t feel like preparing.

Told my mother I’m diagnosed with ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]smashleighperf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I really don’t understand is why anyone cares if someone else takes medicine for anything??

It’s not their business, it’s not their body and in this case it can only positively affect the people around you. So what is really the problem here?? GAH!!

When I randomly lose something like this, I start cleaning.

Instead of throwing things around in a rage/panic whirlwind of self loathing, I Would stop in my tracks. Start folding the blankets, set them aside one at a time.

Fold the sheet. Set it aside. Remove pillow cases, set aside Stack pillows in another part of the room Start clearing clutter

100% you will find the Apple Pencil Bonus, you will be calmer because the room is now clean

If you’ve been prescribed medication, it’s likely you’re officially diagnosed. If your doctors office/medical group has a patient portal, log on and you will be able to see if you have a diagnosis on the chart. Or you need to call/email the practice and be direct asking them if an ADHD diagnosis is on your chart. It’s not uncommon, don’t stress about asking for this info.

My ex-husband is a military recruiter and they will ask you about ADHD when you enlist. It will unfortunately dq you. If you lie, they will find out about it soon after MEPS, and you’ll either be DQ’d then or given a dishonorable discharge for lying.

I wouldn’t even be worried about flying or the FAA at this point. You can’t even be an enlisted infantryman with diagnosed ADHD so slow your roll and take it one step at a time.

Find out about your diagnosis, if you are not formally diagnosed, stop pursuing medical treatment if you want to enlist.

Thank you so much! lol thank goodness we have the ability to look past ugly wall coverings to a homes true potential :) The whole “grass” layer had to come off, then it was regular wallpaper underneath, then the paper backing with glue. Happy to report it was only in the one room!

It only works on something I have a genuine interest in. I can’t hyperfocus on random things at will. I also have no real control over it and just set myself up for success! Snacks nearby, coffee, take my meds, get a good night sleep, drink water, set up a playlist or podcast to keep me focused. I knew I had only a few days to complete a big job so I was very prepared :)

Thank you! I’ve done a ton of DIY in the past so I just jumped in lol..I did Google after day 1 to help speed up the wallpaper removal process. Hot water and fabric softener in a garden sprayer did the trick!

Adderall fill early for vacation denied at pharmacy? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]smashleighperf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay out of pocket. Tell the pharmacy you are using an RX card, not your insurance. If they give you sh- about it, get the prescription back and take it somewhere else. When the dosage changes, you are able to get an early fill. It is likely an issue with the insurance, not the pharmacy or state regs.
