At the moment, my skincare routine is pretty much non-existent. Back when I had a schedule and a routine in my every day life, I was actually pretty good at caring for my skin. Doing it enough as part of a routine really helped me. I am currently on sick leave and there's no stability in my every day life that helps me get into a routine, sadly.
The routine I had was facewash, tonic, and cream.
Before I got my ADHD diagnosis, I went to see my psychiatrist because I suspected I had PMDD, since I only had one week a month where I weren't depressive and perhaps even a danger to myself. She agreed that I probably have PMDD, but she asked me to take an ADHD test, which is when I got my ADHD diagnosis. Even though PMDD isn't an official diagnosis in Denmark, she still believed that I probably have it. How we figured out how to avoid my issues with PMDD was just by skipping my periods, by continuing taking my birth control pills without any breaks. This has done wonders for my mental health! No periods, no back aches, and no depressive episodes.
For me, I used to be tired all the time and I needed at least one nap a day. My brain was going so fast in my head and my executive dysfunction was overwhelming so I was just constantly exhausted. I don't even need naps anymore! And if there is something that I need to do, I do it. At the moment I do feel more lazy, but that's because it's warm and humid and I'm not built for that.
Thank you so much!
I didn't know you could pick more than one language. I'm a fledditor, so still figuring out the ropes around here 😅
Thank you for this one. Now that I know that I have ADHD I am 100% certain that my mother is as well. Like, as an adult seeing her acting on her rejection sensitivity - even before I knew what it was - really helped med reflect on my own rejection sensitivity. My mother suffers from this in a severe way. I've explained to her what Rejection Sensitivity Disorder is, so she knows about it. I'll probably take this image and translate on top of it, then share it to her. Her English is not her best.
I get where you're coming from, but as someone who enjoys looking at Riker with the beard, I do prefer the trope of "Growing the Beard".
Yeah, the friend that had convinced herself, that the baby was their's. That was both creepy and sad.
Recently diagnosed and in my 30s. I've always felt like everybody else have received a user manual that I've never gotten. A user manual on how to be human and how to interact with other humans. It's especially interacting with people that trigger my anxiety. I explained this to my psychologist. Her initial response was that I didn't seem like I had any issues interacting with her, so either that wasn't true or I'm just really good at pretending. Now I'm sitting here, going over what she said, second guessing myself, and I just don't know. This was relatively early on in my session, so I think she understood my anxiety later on. She definitely opened my eyes regarding being more aware of my own needs.
I don't know. Now I just have this nagging feeling of maybe I'm faking my anxiety in regards to socializing.
Fun fact: there's a trope called "Growing the Beard", which is the opposite to "Jumping the Shark" wherein there is a dramatic difference between "before and after" through a series run. The trope got its name from Star Trek: NTG after Commander Riker grew out his beard which coincided with a significant improvement of the show, with an increase in quality and the show growing into its own identity.
Just in case people aren't aware, but Hillywood created this wonderful parody with some very special guest stars.
I'm just really excited for season 2. This show is one of my comfort shows. I love David Tennant and I love Michael Sheen - they make for a lovely pair and their chemistry is awesome!
Yes, this is a very important picture and we do appreciate you sharing it. Thank you.
The one with the mother who had an Entitled Mom tried to grab her baby, because her Entitled Kid wanted to hold her baby was insane. That escalated so quickly!
I went to a psychiatrist due to me suspecting that I have PMDD. From that first session, psychiatrist asked me to fill out a test for ADHD. That was August or last year. My mental health was absolutely horrible and I might have a week tops where I'd feel OK. Now I'm taking birth control continuesly with no breaks which has done wonders for my mental health. Apparently, PMDD is common to find in menstruating people who live with ADHD or are on the Autism spectrum.
Other than getting my mental health out of the dark circle of severe depression, the ADHD meds has helped a lot with my everyday life. I'm not as exhausted as I used to be now that my brain isn't running on overdrive, and the executive dysfunction isn't looming over me, stressing me out.
We're also now certain that my mother has ADHD. I recently explained Rejection Sensitivity Disorder (I know from experience she suffers from this) and she was shocked!
Look at this distinguished gentleman! So lovely!
I'm so happy that ADHD Women are here as well. I didn't use the sub much over on Reddit. It's all been a bit overwhelming, so I just wound up on BestOfRedditorUpdates and whatever was on Popular 😅
