Haha we’ll be moving next year and I swear, a proper shower is high on my list of demands! European landlords are fairly strict about even the tiniest structural changes. Granted, a shower curtain is negligible but as mentioned in another comment, our bathroom is tiny.
Ha I wish :( It’s a drafty European flat from the 1910s, the bathroom is 1,5 meters by 3 meters and there’s a so called “shame wall” between loo and tub that is a weird wooden privacy panel. A shower curtain would make this tiny room even more cramped unfortunately which is mainly why we never wanted to go to the trouble. That being said, its a nice place during the warner months!
Thanks didn’t know that these existed!
Imagine my displeasure at having to shower without a shower curtain for 2 years. Never bothered to put one up bc I didn’t think I’d live in this apartment for this long… I hate every minute of showering in the winter.
(Also, it’s not an ADHD thing in my case, the bathroom is a weird shape that doesn’t allow for a simple rod and curtain, I’d have to get a semi custom glass wall installed)
Yes, Marc Rebillet, specifically the early live streams are fun if you don’t mind the swear words! But yeah, early 80s are great for jammig out too, I love mindless, erratic dancing!
Ooh I love doing that! We always put on Loop Daddy while we’re cooking dinner and I usually dance and hop around more than I cook. I totally agree, this always lifts my mood!
I forgot how much a work out can do to help with my mood. I have been a lot more sensitive to sounds and triggers this last week, and I’ve been feeling so much better today, after going to the gym. How’s everyone else approaching this, any tips for motivating myself to go to the gym when the weather sucks and you just want to stay at home?
Thankfully, I find some of these not fitting as much, like I was lucky enough to fall into jobs where talking and moving around were interpreted as motivation and enthusiasm. The hobbys though, I feel that… Learned to not invest a ton and get used supplies to minimise costs.
Also a good rule, must be something I can use after crafting it. No (ok, fewer) trinkets to remind me that I abandoned another.hobby, but rather “Hey I made that and its so useful still!”
Just want to rest my eyes on this image, very nice anesthetic!
Interesting, I’ve only ever seen the deeper boreholes!
Well this is interesting! What is it?
Oh my god same! I’m prone to allergies so I figured it came from the pressure changing upon decent decent but I would have freaked out if I hadn’t known what it was! Hurt like a bitch, I could even feel my tear ducts pulsing!
Oh my god, yes! Less frustration, less anger at insignificant things, and I guess less “cunty” overall which is the most important benefit for me. Just like you, I feel like a total asshole when I’m not medicated, and I don’t like myself very much in these situations…
Cool thanks for easing my mind!
I’ve been making it easier on me, by getting used crafts materials off of craigslist. Also, selling what I’m not using anymore has helped immensely with justifying investing into a new hobby :)
Love all the helpful advice on Lemmy, thank you!
Thanks for your advice! Since getting diagnosed and being more aware of how ADHD brains work, at least I’ve become better at identifying what makes me frustrated or mad.
Often, it’s the triggers adding up by the end of the day, especially noise and visual commotion drain me. I can control my frustration most of the time (outwardly) but may be grinding my teeth or swearing under my breath, even knowing I am overreacting. I’ve had outbursts though and while only verbal, I feel like shit lashing out at loved ones over nothing. It’s like know I’m overreacting but I can’t stop myself.
I am trying to take control though, as you suggested. I got some Loop earplugs and NC headphones last year and have been using them daily when I know I’ll be in a stressful situation. My partner knows how I get stressed and doesn’t mind if I pop in the Loops, and I’ve been open about when I start feeling overwhelmed. It’s helped a good bit with the mental drain but meds have been especially helpful for my mood in the evenings.
Sorry for the wall of text! Adhd made me do it.
Wow, thanks for the thorough explanation! I have a Keychron K2 V2, so it should be 4000mAh as per the website.
Thanks, yeah I was thinking along those lines and I’d rather be safe than sorry.
I have a 3D printer at work, good idea!
