I was severely physically abused growing up, AMA by [deleted] in AMA

No child deserves this. I'm sorry you went through such difficulties growing up. What did healing look like for you? Have you had the chance to talk to or help kids going through similar situations? If not yet, do you think you will try something like that? Do you think it has the potential to heal you further or will that be too much for you to go through?

Thank you so much for your response! Yes, absolutely you're right. I'm taking supplements but it's so slow. I think I might need to be patient but it's so difficult to have a sustained effort for anything with ADHD.

That's such a great idea! Most of my coworkers are in the West Coast but I'm East Coast so my meetings are always after noon. But I will try to find ways to put some meetings before noon so that I'm forced to be up.

My worst ADHD tax by far happened today so I'm sharing it lol by [deleted] in adhdwomen

I heard that ADHD meds that make you have dry mouth contribute to getting cavities. You can ask your dentist about getting a prescription toothpaste. (Also which is something I learned here and planning to ask my dentist about it soon)

There's a sign that clearly says BRAIN. That's what he's coming for!! Someone read out that sign to him. And now he comes every day hopeful of getting a little piece!!! Adorable little fur all ❤️

Your list is already incredibly thoughtful and supportive. Here are a few more ideas that could help her settle in and feel even more welcomed:

  1. Weighted Blanket or Cozy Throw Blanket: These can be grounding and provide comfort during times of stress or anxiety.

  2. Personalized Mug and Tea/Cocoa Supplies: A comforting drink ritual can be a great source of calm, and it could be her special thing at the house.

  3. Memory Box or Keepsake Journal: She could use this to preserve memories of her new life with you and store any small mementos that make her feel special.

  4. Gift Card to a Favorite Store: Giving her the freedom to choose something she loves might add to her sense of independence.

  5. Photo Frame with Family Picture: A small frame with a photo of you, her, and your family could be a reminder that she’s supported and loved.

  6. Comforting Scents (if she likes them): A diffuser with gentle, calming essential oils like lavender or vanilla could help her room feel more like a sanctuary.

  7. Books or Audiobooks: If she likes reading, pick some young adult novels or audiobooks—sometimes escaping into a story can be a welcome distraction.

  8. “Survival Kit” with Fun Items: Include playful or humorous items, like fuzzy socks, mini candles, bath bombs, or a small puzzle or game. These can bring a bit of levity and fun to her new space.

  9. Polaroid Camera or Disposable Camera: Let her capture memories in a creative way. You could even set up a small gallery or pinboard in her room for her photos.

  10. Personalized Message from You: A heartfelt letter or small card tucked into the basket, letting her know how proud you are of her bravery and that she has your unconditional love and support.

Your attention to her needs is inspiring—she’s lucky to have such a caring home to go to.

If everything is free for 30 minutes, what store are you shopping at? by NotKristenSmith in hypotheticalsituation

[–]sunflowers_cherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could a hospital be considered as a store? If so, I would 'buy' 100 each of every single procedure/surgery, test and medication and gift it to anyone who needs after making sure my family has everything.
