  • Keeping clothes under control is a big deal imo. Clothes have so many pain and pleasure points that is easy to hold onto our pasts and pretend futures through them.

    Clothes plus creativity are my bane. 'One day I’ll wear that elegant dress I just need to add a new zip." I’ve had to limit myself by keeping a project box. If it doesn’t fit I need to swop something out or chuck the project away.

    Basically Dana K White’s container method (https://youtu.be/_24PoIZSmVs) has been my saving grace. I’m now looking for ways to create zones based on function and then limit my ‘inventory’. It’s a numbers game for me. Less inventory means I function better in my space. And functioning feels so good when it happens well.

    Sounds to me like you found a way to function better around work clothes and better is good. Definitely worth a high five in my book !







  • I’ve been struggling with whether to get an autism diagnosis or an adhd one (or to blow the money on therapy instead). I feel like I’m functioning less and less the older I get and sometimes wish a test trial of stimulants could tell me if I had ADHD.

    Like if I functioned better on meds then I’d know I’m ADHD. I know it’s not a logical wish but I hate all the loopholes and money. I struggle to make medical appointments for anything that is immediately obvious like a wound or rash. Need to get a script ready in my head and hate advocating for myself or the kids to indifferent professionals.
