This is genius! thanks for sharing 🙂

you don’t care about your produce! 🫢

Bupropion is the only antidepressant that works for my mood. The SSRIs and SNRIs make me feel numb and dumb, so I hate them. However, bupropion doesn’t have any noticeable impact on my adhd. I gotta take ritalin for that.

The ‘do you mind’ question a great example of why many neurodivergent people have such a hard time in social settings, keeping track of all of the contradictory social expectations that don’t make sense is tiring and not everyone is consistent.

Yes! Thank you very much. It’s at least a triple-effect because (1) we get confused about what the response means so we have to focus on solving the riddle, (2) solving the riddle consumes more mental energy so we have less in reserve, and (3) we miss out on everything that occured while we were figuring out the riddle so we have to catch up when we already run slower.

Thanks for the help! I can understand it retrospect, but in the moment, I will be unsure and request confirmation. It’s just how it is 🤷

What does that mean about your preference with the use of “do you mind”-like questions?

I dont think I’ve ever looked at them

Mannnnn, I would be the same way. That whole seeing people cut open is hard enough. I can’t imagine seeing someone I care about anesthetized, cut open, and then their insides. I rather continue my delusion that their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.

Pedants: He asked if she minded. She responded saying, “Sure thing,” which is an affirmative response, meaning that she did mind. He still attempted to use the bathroom despite her saying she was uncomfortable with that.

I have difficulty with interactions in which people use “do you mind” that I have to be extra clear. Anyone else?

I’ve been having my morning coffee outside every morning, and that’s been helpful. I take it as it telling my body it’s day time.

Waking up at the same time everyday even if i go to sleep late.

I set an alarm for 1 hr before I wake up to take my meds. When I wake up, I’m ready to go rather than drag butt around the entire house until I feel awake.

If you can find an avenue, check in with someone every morning to tell them how you feel. It can be as simple as a word or longer. This makes you notice so you can adjust as necessary. It also may help you feel bonded or at least less alone.

Daily walks at night when the world has stopped, no one is outside, it’s quiet and dark. I put on headphones and take my dog. I can walk and look as ridiculous as I want and be free from everyone’s opinions and judgments.

Make sure you do at least 1 productive thing towards a long-term goal per day, even if it’s super simple. I have a few long-term goals broken down into lists, so I go through them and pick at least one thing to check off. I usually go with ones I feel like doing that day.

Edit: Do something artistic/creative at least once/week. No boundaries, no goals, no intent. Just go with how you feel and see what comes out.

Blizzards are seasonal. Right now, it’s flood season.

Immediate:

• Focus on a task because I decided to do so
• Stay focused much longer without becoming exhausted or frustrated
• More respectful in conversations because I was able to stay focused on what they were saying. I also remembered what they said.
• Hope that things could improve

Long-term:

• More confidence in myself
• Reduced shame that I was rude, disrespectful, or careless about others. Paradoxically, this lead to me setting better boundaries when overwhelmed because I didn’t see them as rude.
• Less reliance on notes
• Less anxiety that I forgot something important
• Less vulnerable to manipulation because I was able to see patterns better since I could remember interactions more, and I was more confident that what I remembered was right.
• I was able to structure my days better. I developed a daily routine, eat healthier, and establish sleep schedule.
• More awareness as to what were issues I was having because of ADHD
• Felt more like a person than a problem

What surprised me the most was that all of these are apart from work. I had no idea how much ADHD was affecting my overall life. When the psychiatrist said that treating it would be really impactful to my mood, I thought she was just trying to lift my spirits and get me hopeful. Nope. She knew exactly what she was talking about.

Edit: Whoops. These all were things that improved. What didn’t improve was things that were related to other matters, such as anxiety in crowds, lack of trust in others, general sense of doom, etc., but I’m working on it! Being able to plan and follow through is fantastic. Ohhhhh, is this what executive functioning is??

Comet C/2023 A3’s coma is about 2.8 feet in diameter and the tail measures about 16.9 feet in length.

Its closest approach to Earth will be on Oct. 11 or 12, according to BBC Sky at Night. It will still be about 44 million miles away.

It’s so tiny! I’m surprised we can see something that small from such a far distance.

For observers in the Northern Hemisphere, comet C/2023 A3 can be found in the constellation Sextans and will rise one hour before the sun, according to Astronomy.com.

The comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere in the evening, just after sunset, when it is low in the southwestern sky.

I’m confused. Is the best time to see it just before sunrise or just after sunset??

That’s the only way I use it. I auto-start the panel applet, and it connects automatically for me. My only complaint is that if I let it choose “the best” server to connect to, it picks a server in another state more often than not, and I rather it only pick servers in my state. As a work-around, I force a specific server in my state. The downside is that it probably makes me more trackable to sites since I connect to them from the same IP every time, but I’m sure it doesn’t really matter since they finger print my browser. I’m more concerned with encrypted communication than anonymity anyway. It’s not like the bank or YouTube doesn’t know it’s me when I sign in.

If anyone knows how to make it select among servers within a specific state automatically on auto-start, pls let me know.

He could go up there and do some Skrillex Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites or Eminem Godzilla. I’m certain everyone in 94 would be like, “Wtf was that‽”

Cause you manipulated them into thinking your manipulations aren’t intentional so that they would provide sympathy 👌

They’re saying they trust you, you dingbat.
