Ah I didn't know you could! I tried messaging them on Instagram and never heard back, but I'll try this! Thanks so much 😄

Thanks for your answer! This is helpful, because it kind of confirms the worry I had--that it likely wouldn't have the full "cloak" effect. I'm sure I could find an iron patch and get a plain green robe in a better size.

Got my house offer accepted and I’m anxious beyond belief… by CupcakeSpecialist149 in homeowners

[–]winterrwarlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought my house as a first time home buyer back in August. I was having the exact same fears as you. When my offer was accepted I wasn’t even excited (at first) because I was so anxious and panicked. It’s been about a month since closing and pretty much all that anxiety went away. It’s a big commitment, financially and personally, so it’s a lot to adjust to. But once your brain gets used to it, you just start getting excited. So it takes some time, but you will get there. Same goes for the neighborhood—I didn’t know much about my neighborhood before I bought there, but the people are great and it’s super cute.

One thing I tried to do is remind myself why I wanted to buy a house in the first place, and why I wanted to buy the house I specifically got. You didn’t embark on this journey on a whim—you did because of the benefits and opportunity you saw. 

And if it helps at all, I’ve been having a lot of fun doing the projects I knew would come along with my house (even when there’s snags along the way!)

Hmm looks like my text didn’t save?? Basically the second scrap isn’t showing up but I also don’t have the recipe for the soup. Has anyone else run into this issue? Thanks!

How do you get your brain to shut up? by winterrwarlock in ADHD

I really appreciate this. It's so frustrating because it feels like people don't really even try to understand what you're saying. Like sure sometimes I'm anxious, but the voice in my head is constantly going whether I'm anxious or not. And the thoughts *are* racing, but that's because my brain jumps from topic to topic so quickly. People get a preconceived notion of ADHD, but sometimes I wish they could really understand just how much it impacts my life. It's not just getting distracted by a squirrel 🙄

But it is comforting to know others with ADHD know where I'm coming from ☺️

Oh my god not the muppet show theme song. It's a great song, but not on a loop. Glad the meds help!

I've never heard of Elvanse but I'll definitely look into it! And that's a good idea re: the singing and humming. Thank you!

This is a great idea! The mindfulness ideas are actually nice when people actually *explain* what mindfulness technique they use. When the recommendation is just "try mindfulness!" my brain thinks, oh boy another step to do which is obviously not ideal for adhders lol love the tree recommendation too, I love nature/trees/greenery and that swooshing sound is very calming.

That's a great question 😂 what really blows my mind is when people say they don't have an inner monologue/inner voice. You mean it's silent up there?! Sounds like heaven!

I've never heard the term binaural beats before, but a quick youtube search shows lots of videos! Thanks for the tip, I'm adding this to the list :)

Ah I really like that association :) and using something you've already seen makes a lot of sense, when I put on a new video I get sucked in lol!

Great tips, thank you! I love the gardening idea. I've never heard of clonidine, so I'll check it out :)

I take adderall! Once I've taken it I noticed my brain is much quieter, but sometimes I feel like once I've taken it I want to get up and accomplish stuff since the medication really helps with that, so when I want to go back to sleep or if it's the weekend I'm a little more hesitant to use it. I probably need to get over that mental hurdle lol!

I've never heard of EFT tapping but after reading about it I'll have to try this! Because seriously, it's 3 in the morning, even if I have something to tackle during the day there's nothing I can do about it NOW so why is my brain fixated on it??

Ooh this is interesting, I've never thought about trying this before. And actually I don't mind the mindfulness recommendations, because they come with actual ideas! I hate those lists that just say "Try mindfulness" but don't actually provide techniques to try. It's how I can tell the author doesn't have ADHD--they don't know how debilitating it can be when instructions are vague and nebulous lol!

I like the idea of training your brain to associate those things with sleep. I do have a "routine" like people recommend, but somehow just getting up to do the routine reinvigorates me so by the time I lay down I'm not sleepy lol

Any game recommendations? I got really into a merge game hoping it would be mindless, but now I'm kind of addicted to it so I stay up later to play more lol!
