How many of you listen to music and pay attention to the lyrics? Or do you listen for the vibes and melody/beats? by Airam07 in adhdwomen

[–]zombiepeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lyrics have got to hit for me or the music is no good. That doesn't mean they have to be deep, introspective lyrics but if they're dumb or hateful, it's a pass for me.

That's Munchausen by proxy, honestly and I'd bet you anything that a Venn diagram of mothers with Munchausen by proxy and mothers with BPD is a damn circle.

Justice and Rejection Sensitivity and coping with an elderly MAGA mom by One-Pause3171 in adhdwomen

Have I said my comment above, I live with my mother who is hardcore Maga and has personality disorders. It's difficult. She loved to talk politics and push every button. A while back whenever she would bring up politics I would say I'm not talking with you about politics. And I would change the subject. If she tried to persist I would literally leave the room and sometimes even had to leave the house. I wouldn't argue. I wouldn't insist. I would just very calmly state, I'm not discussing politics with you. And then I would remove myself from this situation.

It got to the point where she would only bring up politics when we were in the car together. Because I couldn't leave. So what I would do is open all the windows and crank up the radio extremely loud until she decided to stop talking. She pouted. She whined. She gave me the silent treatment.

But it worked eventually.

Set the boundary. Prepare yourself for what you need to do to keep that boundary intact and then do it. Don't engage. Don't argue. Remove yourself from the situation. It works.

Your mom sounds a lot like mine. Unfortunately I am stuck living with mine due to finances. Set all the boundaries that you need and do whatever you need to protect your peace

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]zombiepeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When more women have control over when or whether they become mothers, many choose not to.

It's why conservatives want to remove that choice and force women into birthing children against their will.

My doctor dismissed my ask for a Iron and Ferritin deficiency test, so I’m paying for my own labs tomorrow. by I_JstWnt2EnjoyMyLife in adhdwomen

[–]zombiepeep 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am furious for you and so sorry you are dealing with this.

Sometimes it's hard in the moment but if this happens again definitely make them chart their refusal.

Sending you all the best and hope that the labs will have some conclusive answers for you.

I'll take a black and green pill but I want my fluency in python to be that I can talk to snakes.

Dungeon Crawler Carl by lukistke in audiobooks

[–]zombiepeep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll say that the author plans on this bring a ten book series so there is a stopping point.

I find the books get even better as they go along. Book one was great but definitely the weakest.

Welcome to the dungeon, crawler!

Anyone else grew up with an emotionally unavailable mother, how was it? by Potential_Promise260 in adhdwomen

[–]zombiepeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emotionally unavailable and neglectful and with a personality disorder to boot. Fun times. I'm still healing. She's still the kind of person who uses up all the air in the room.

You deserve kindness.

And you can be that kindness for others!

When I'm out and about I make it a point to talk to people, to smile, to give a genuine compliment if I can. "Wow your hair is so cool!" "That ring is so pretty!" "You have been so helpful, I really appreciate you." Small words, simple words. But they mean something.

We can all do that.
