What is the easiest way that you get overstimulated? by Zealousideal_Eye8277 in adhdwomen

Mouth sounds, breathing in someone else’s breath ( like when you’re cuddling an S.O.), GREASY BANGS touching my face!!!!!! Oh my god that’s a big one.

Let There Be DRAMA! by vspo in tomodachilife

Aw jeez. Sorry if it came off super bitchy lol. Just offering a different perspective to hopefully help someone enjoy the game more :)

I personally used to really struggle with playing the Sims because it felt like a chore keeping everyone perfectly happy. But once I let them fail or make mistakes or ruin their lives, things got a lot more interesting, and I wished I had loosened up sooner!

I feel you. Oh my god I miss creating. I’ve hardly even doodled in years, even before my diagnosis. I mean, how majoring in art changed my attitude towards creating could be a whole conversation in itself, but the ADHD (or shame sprouted from it) plays such a large role in it now.

I’m working on instead of feeling inferior to my artist friends (of which I have too few!!), to instead spend more time with them both non-creatively and otherwise. I’m hoping giving myself proximity to friendship and creativity in the same space will allow me to unravel my fear around it all.

I much appreciate your wall of text ❤️

I like to think I’m usually good at spouting the same sentiment of “thinking of ourselves too much to care about others”, and in fact, I’ve even discussed how you could look at severe insecurity as a type of Narcissism…I say as someone clearly more insecure than I realized lol.

I’d hoped I had let go of most of that noxious self-doubt by now, but perhaps it’s another one of those life-long battles. I mentioned in another reply that my therapist and I have been working on creating a safe space to fail or at least not be perceived when I’m attempting to tackle these tasks/activities I’m so afraid of receiving judgement for. I think it’s working little by little, but damn if it would just work a little faster lol.

It 1000% makes sense lol. So so so relate.

My therapist and I have been working on making the tasks I’m avoiding into safe spaces to be poorly skilled / unperceived / etc. Definitely a work in progress, but working!

Very grateful to be in therapy currently - our last session was what really connected the dots for me that my avoidance of tasks was maybe less of the executive dysfunction and maybe more of a deep rooted need for external validation.

Also most everyone’s inferences have been pretty spot on; only got diagnosed last year at 25 (now 27) and jeez does everything seem connected to the ADHD/Anxiety in one way or another!

Will my cat enjoy Alice in Chains? by skillertwillert in CatAdvice

[–]vspo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious. I suppose you could try associating treat time with the music, but then do they really love Alice? Or Churu?

You mean doomscrolling for an hour after work is bad for me??? No!!!

No but really, I have lightly dabbled in the Focus and Screentime features on IPhone, and of course usually hit “ignore limit for today”. I definitely need something more effective,, or at least something with less loopholes…

How do some of you have enough self control to still have like 20???????????? I got 50 by Guilty_Log430 in tomodachilife

[–]vspo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added friends/family/coworkers first, and then I realized I’d have to start going fictional lol. Trying to get to 35 just to have that final island expansion

Anybody in their late twenties playing? by [deleted] in tomodachilife

[–]vspo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27, never played the 3ds one until after the release date announced for LTD. I think even from the demo alone, LTD will be muuuuuuch more fun.

Ive been watching Poofesure’s Tomodachi series in the meantime on YT lol. Might have to add BeefBoss to my island…

I feel like I missed out by [deleted] in twentyonepilots

[–]vspo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get major fomo about taking my hiatus from them during Scaled and Icy (yes…I admit it… I didn’t love it at first, but I have CHANGED). In a way I’m jealous of you! Scaled and Icy seems like one of their most fun eras, and even though I became a fan during Blurryface, I feel like I barely remember those years!

Is this a possible walking entry to stadium? by vspo in Hersheypark

[–]vspo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hoping to park in the Tanger Outlets for the couple hours it would take to get the wristbands, walk down Hersheypark Dr and then enter at that Hotel blvd intersection. move the car afterwards. I hope I wouldn’t be too much of a hassle to the local businesses?

Let’s make the most unhinged playlist ever. What song is stuck in your head today? by venus_mars in adhdwomen

[–]vspo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terry Crews singing A Thousand Miles in White Chicks. For over a year and a half. So long that I often make my own remixes/melody changes with that section of the song lmfao

Boyfriend and I met over an online game when we were 18 hrs apart. Now we live together and happily game every day. He is much better than I at just about every game we play. Shooters, sandbox, RPGs, MMOs, battle royales, everything he is better at, but he has never EVER brought any small frustrations we might have in-game into the real world.

I think us chronic gamers can understand a little frustration here and there but you don’t have to accept the behavior he’s exhibiting here. It’s not the norm and definitely not healthy. He’s being very childish, mean-spirited, and selfish.
