  1. Right there with all of you with my college kid. Even on Vyvanse he's struggling so much; I wonder if it's the right dose or even medication. How is it that these companies seemingly have no accountability to provide enough medication for people? (I don't really want a complex answer, just to vent)
  2. I just use a freebie eye mask from the airlines when I need one, but DS loves his weighted eye mask by NodPod https://nodpod.com/ I use Loop earplugs; I've never had luck sleeping in other kinds but I find these comfortable (even as a side sleeper) https://us.loopearplugs.com/. I wear them in public sometimes too (my hair covers them)
  3. I've never seen it spelled out so I assumed it was pronounced like Yeee-Awww like a wannabe cowboy-esque YeeHaw but without the H.
  4. May I suggest Loop earplugs. https://us.loopearplugs.com Excellent for concerts, muting the annoyance of snoring partners, softening the noisiness of loud children, drowning out bad country music in Target, saving ones sanity from the neighbours barking dogs and so much more. I wish for you a quiet night.
  5. So what if a person feels all three ways all at once and all the time? 😳😫
  6. I have read that a lot of peri/menopausal women are diagnosed with ADHD. Either they've masked all their lives and it's showing through without the filter, or it can look a lot the same. I've been unpeeling my own layers and since ADHD and autism run in my family neither would surprise me. I'm exhausted from hiding myself.
  7. No. I drink coffee but just out of habit and I like it. It doesn't really affect me.
  8. I've wondered if they would help. I sure do relate to DS in so many ways and can't concentrate worth anything. I don't really want to go through a whole evaluation though. Anxiety meds have helped me in a huge way, but in truth it's not enough. I'm just walking the line, you know?
  9. Yes--that's what I just bought. Love them!
  10. Hmm...good idea. I haven't tried that route yet, I assume I'll just fall asleep. Sigh. Where did our brains go? Do they come back? Because this feels untenable.
  11. Amazing response! You must be so proud!
  12. I have not, but it looks like a fine addition to my stack of feminist witchy books (that I can't read because I'm too tired) 🙂
  13. Can they be Corgis? Aka the cats of the dog world? Eh, never mind, bring whatever you need. We get to make the rules for once!
  14. The temperature thing is ridiculous. I'm not kidding when I say I walk around all winter--outside, in Maine--in just a t shirt. Thanks to some new meds DH runs cold. So he likes the stove on but doesn't want me to get too hot but it's just like you said--who knows what the temperature is or how that actually feels, and for how long? Cardigan on, cardigan off...all day long. And I don't even really have hot flashes per she, more just internal heating up and eventual cooling down, like an oven. Anything can set it off, just constant discomfort. I want a hut. I just want to hide out and be alone. Maybe a community of huts where we can all hang out together, and alone. The screaming into the sky would be amazing, like a pack of wolves. Of course our menopause community will have lots of cats and a never ending supply of brownies. Anyone else in? @Kanin you can join so you'll know the hell that's in store... ❤️😫
  15. True, the new perspective is a bonus. I can tell anyone to f..k right off now and it feels **good**. (Oh yeah, the wisdom part is also nice, lol)
