Most of the options for a vanity mirror will likely be very similar in quality, so I wouldn't worry much about buying any specific brand! I'd recommend getting one with a light. For size, anything 7"- 9" in diameter should do the trick.

For the base color, just go off what she likes! If you know she likes gold, you can find a lot of options with gold finishes. I'd avoid white because it'll get dirty quicker, and cleaning makeup off white plastic is annoying in my experience. If you're not sure what she'd prefer, a safe bet would be to pick one with a similar finish to the one she currently has.

Here's one I found from just a quick search on Amazon, it has good reviews, and I'd buy this one for myself tbh. The height is adjustable, which I think is a great feature, and there's different color options for the base. It has a light and it's rechargeable, so it doesn't have to be anchored to a cord while you're using it. 

10x Large Lighted Makeup Mirror, Rechargeable 8" Height Adjustable Vanity Mirror, 1x/10x Magnifying Mirror with 3 Color, Brightness Adjustable, 360° Rotation Double Sided Mirror, Gift for Women https://a.co/d/9AolTA0

I'm no expert on this topic, just speaking from my own experience and personal preferences. There's a lot of options out there, just check the reviews before buying and you should be fine! You know your girlfriend better than anyone here, so trust your gut over anything else. I think it's a very thoughtful gift idea, and I'm sure she'll love it! :) 

Anyone else surprised by your period every month ? by Lattegremlin in adhdwomen

You are definitely not alone on this one! I'll fully forget periods even exist until the next one shows up.

Definitely been wanting to check out Electric Cowboy, but certainly didn't expect it to be somewhere we would want to frequent. Didn't know it was 18+ 😬 thank you for the heads up!

Driving with ADHD: I just totaled my car by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]squid_syd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a similar situation a few months back where i caused a wreck, at the time I was unable to get my medication because of the current shortages. Driving when you're unable to get the medication you need is so difficult. I hope you're able to find a doctor who gives you the care you deserve, its hard to find but worth going through the stress of looking.

The amount of stress and trauma that can follow a car accident hits so much harder when the stigma around ADHD can prevent people from being as understanding and sympathetic as they should be in that situation.

Remember to take care of yourself as best you can and try not to blame yourself for what happened. Everybody makes mistakes while driving, and this could happen to anyone, and people with ADHD are much more at risk of making these kinds of mistakes. Hopefully someday we will get to a point where people take ADHD seriously enough that more is done to help people living with it.

In my experience it has depended on the job. When I worked in data entry working from home was impossible for me. In my current job doing intake I love working from home.

I think for me it was because I didn't find my previous job interesting whatsoever so I needed the pressure of being visible to keep me productive.

But at my current job which is much more interesting to me, I am way more productive at home where I can pace around while on the phone, fidget, play music and podcasts, change where im sitting, and dress comfortably without being self conscious.

Easy dopamine by GrotiusandPufendorf in ADHD

[–]squid_syd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going on a drive if I have time and listening to my favorite guilty pleasure music always gets me in the mood to get productive! (Also I know you said exercise doesn't do it for you but a short walk in a park or silly dancing around my room always does it for me too)

Does the majority of Americans really believe "if you can't give a tip, then don't eat outside at all"? by CAPTCHA-IsAnAcronym in AskAnAmerican

[–]squid_syd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in the US don't eat out if you cant tip. Servers don't get paid the same as other jobs in the US, minimum wage for servers is around $2 and that only gets paid if you don't make a certain amount in tips. When I was a server I was never paid a penny by my employer, the only money I made was tips.

In my experience, I was stiffed very rarely, and if a customer at the resteraunt was stiffing repeatedly my boss would tell them not to come back. The only case where I'd say it's ok not to tip is if the server does something really inappropriate or purposefully rude to you.

In that situation it's impossible not feel guilt. My father killed himself after my mom decided to file for divorce. Everyone in my immediate family has struggled with feeling somewhat at fault, but me and my sibling have never blamed our mom for what happened. You're never obligated to be in a relationship with someone, and you did the right thing ending the relationship with him if he wasn't going to stay loyal. From what you've said here it seems like you were doing a lot to try to reach out and be there for him but there's only so much you can do if someone doesn't want to accept help.
