Toothpaste that doesnt make me hurl
I know at least some of us suffer with issues with morning (and probably night routines) I just want to share a new toothpaste I love. Boka makes toothpaste that is a wee bit pricey (12 dollars a tube) but I find I use so much less of it. It comes in very mild flavors (the mint is faintly minty) and it doesn’t foam in your mouth. Honestly this is the first toothpaste in my whole life that has made me gag or barf during or after using it. If anyone else has sensory issues with toothpaste I highly recommend this one. Allergy warning though, I think they all have coconut in some form but honestly you can’t taste the coconut.
Help finding right moisturizer
Ok long and short of it. I have ADHD and no desire to have a ten step regimen. And even if I did I wouldn’t consistently keep up with it. I also work a job that involves me being outside in heat and cold and in an way that involves working with gross things so I get disgusting on a daily basis. I have combo skin with my t zone being a gross ass oil pit. I currently wash with corsx low pH cleanser and love it. I don’t use toner (used to but havent seen a difference in using it verses not) and am trying to find a daily moisturizer. I have tried Cetaphul in the green bottle. It was okay but I don’t love the feel of it and still felt dry in some places and oil in others I have tried Aveeno for redness (I do have some redness and my mom has rosacea) and it feels nice but an hour or two after using my forehead feels very oily again And I have tried Neutrogena Hydrogel and boy I love the feel but the product seems to not be very hydrating and I still end up with an oily forehead prior to work and getting sweaty. What are some other options? The reviews on everything seem so mixed that I don’t know where to go from here.
I have therapy at the ass crack of dawn tomorrow (7am) and I have nothing to say to my therapist. I have been sitting with our last session and am disappointed and frustrated. I feel unheard, I feel like she isn’t a good fit but I am supposed to switch again?
Her bio said she specializes in ADHD depression and anxiety (hello me) and she has shown bias against medication and even stated that she didn’t take the training her company offers to LCSW and therapists about medication so they can sort of have a base line of knowledge when their clients talk about meds they may be taking.
I don’t know how to approach tomorrow and it’s too late to cancel. My previous thought was to see her until I could get in with someone else but now I am not so sure if I don’t have anything I wish to talk about or share with her. I’m tired of therapy. I know I should be glad I can finally afford it and have a job where I can use my lunch for this but I’m just tired of it.
I am seeing so many negative comments on here and it’s baffling. It’s a post about learning that your issues had something to do with a mental health disorder. No where in this post did it say my coworkers should fix it. My partner and friends and family need to be involved deeply in my health care. (Though part of my journey was talking to those people and asking them to point out things about my behavior I didn’t think about or realize might be part of ADHD)
When I first learned I had ADHD I was sort of baffled and lost. I couldn’t see how it got missed and it felt like someone should have noticed but no one did and I am still in the process of unpacking years of self doubt and terrible thoughts. Part of that process is realizing why people may not have noticed, or why you might not have noticed. Hell had a friend not asked me if I had ever been tested I wouldn’t have even considered asking a professional.
This point doesn’t read as blaming the people around them so much as grief at learning late. Grief at not reaching out sooner. Maybe some grief at someone not simply saying hey you okay? But it doesn’t read to me as blaming anyone just sadness.
