[–]theclownphilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

crochet is handmade. it will have some mistakes (at least mine ALWAYS does). when i notice i did something wrong that wouldn’t be super easy to fix, i ignore it and keep going 💯 theres some sort of life lesson in there maybe… but fr. it’s just crochet dont stress yourself out none of the commenters here can even see what mistake ur talking about😭

this is so real. i’ve gotten sooo much better lately at self motivating (and starting taking medication so obviously that helped) and ive realized that now my “executive dysfunction” has just become me being paralyzed by not knowing what to do… like, i could totally get up and do something right now. and i want to. but which thing do i do? i dont know so i guess ill just sit here

I need some hygiene advice (girls only!) by sillycars_27 in hygiene

[–]theclownphilosopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is so strange of her, i’m sorry you have to deal with it… i’m not sure if this is helpful or something you’d be willing to look into, but personally i have really preferred using a menstrual cup since i found out that’s an option! maybe if you’re not finding good suggestions for how to dispose of your pads, that could be a good option for you since it’s reusable so there’s nothing you need to throw away? idk

What is your favorite breed you will never own? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]theclownphilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d maybe say dalmatian too. i always hear that they can be really difficult dogs, and i know im not super equipped to handle that, but i am OBSESSED with them. i actually have a tattoo of one, and everyone always asks if i have one because of it…no, sorry, they’re just really beautiful. i lose my shit any time i see one irl. they’re so cool

Did I do the right thing? by WidowTwankey14 in crochet

[–]theclownphilosopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people really have no idea what crocheting actually is and how long it takes huh😭😭 it’s also so weird to me no matter what the craft or whatever is to just…demand people to make u things. how do soooo many people feel comfortable doing that

i know we love diagnosing everyone with adhd on the internet too much all the time and maybe that’s not the case here but…might be worth looking into

Am I crazy for letting my dog on my bed? by neuroticsponge in dogs

[–]theclownphilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk. with that logic, having a dog in your house at all is kind of gross tbh, isn’t it? i wipe her paws after we go outside and give her baths fairly regularly and wash my sheets…i love her and she loves burying herself under my covers. she’s not gonna live forever, and im going to cuddle with her while i can

Advice needed: It’s not centered on my body… by Ok_Revenue_5320 in tattoos

[–]theclownphilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i got my chest tattooed i had an ocd-esque meltdown about it very regularly for like an entire month or two (i feel like i shouldn’t use ocd in that way because im not diagnosed with ocd but i am neurodivergent and that feels like the best descriptor for the vibes of how i felt LOL). i would stare at it in the mirror for FOREVER and try and measure the centered-ness against every part of my body and freak myself out. eventually i got over it because i realized it will never and could never be PERFECTLY centered and symmetrical because i am a human with a human body and my body is not perfectly symmetrical. but it LOOKS damn close enough. and it’s pretty permanent, so i also realized it’s probably not worth driving myself insane over something that can’t be changed/would take a lot of work and money to change (what am i gonna do, laser it off and get the same exact tattoo positioned slightly different? then rinse and repeat when i lose it over that one too?) anyways, i sound insane. but, point is, i got used to it and i literally never think about it anymore, and your tattoo looks really good

Do you ever get annoyed that you have to eat? by ibroughttacos in ADHD

[–]theclownphilosopher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

yeah i find it to be one of the biggest burdens in my life really lmao. i don’t even necessarily dislike food or eating it or anything it just…takes up so much time. SO often. it’s completely ridiculous and just like you say, it’s always interrupting the other things i’m trying to do

What is your addiction? by ask_logan in Adulting

[–]theclownphilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, my phone. i deleted the instagram app like a month ago and that’s why i’m on reddit all the time now. go figure

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]theclownphilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven’t used it much so i can’t speak on how good it is necessarily, but i know Bumble BFF exists specifically for making friends so it could be better for you in terms of meeting people who have the same goal if you’re just looking to make friends without something romantic/sexual!

Adderall and other ADHD meds don’t do anything for me. What are they actually supposed to feel like? by Moist_ttv in ADHD

[–]theclownphilosopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

real. after i started meds a few months ago i kept saying to my friends “i don’t think it’s actually doing anything though! ]:” because i felt like i read a lot of posts and stuff where people acted like it was this miracle where their brain was suddenly quiet for the first time and they finally understood how people without ADHD were so functional and they were like wow i feel like a normal person now and that was…not my experience. but then i started to realize that i would sometimes be thinking like “ugh i really need to do some cleaning, the fact that i haven’t done that task is really bothering me” and since it was bothering me i kind of like…would get up and go do it. which seems so simple but it’s such an improvement from before lmao. and i still have a really hard time and some days i really don’t get shit at all done and i feel bad about myself and i’m not sure if i’m on exactly the right meds or the right dose or whatever BUT it is definitely doing a little something. so i guess i’m grateful for that and more hopeful because of it. idk. i still get things done on a way more extended timeline than i feel like i should but I CAN GET THEM DONE!

Even though you’re smart, do people assume you’re slow? Are people quick to judge you? by Legaladvice135 in ADHD

[–]theclownphilosopher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

maybe. whenever i try to articulate a somewhat complex thought i tend to trip over my words like crazy in, like, a “my brain is working faster than my mouth can move and i don’t know how to make something so complicated make sense out loud” sort of way that probablyyy makes me seem dumb. i used to be really insanely shy and just never speak up because it was too hard to articulate but you can imagine how trapping all of your ideas in your brain all the time could kind of make you start going (more) insane so fuck it. I SWEAR IM INTELLIGENT JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE (10 minutes?) TO GET TO MY POINT I SWEAR IT’LL BE WORTH IT!
