yeah I have been seeing a psychiatrist for a few months, that’s who set me up with the creyos assessment. I just haven’t spoken to them about it in an actual session yet.

sometimes I do get sleepy during the day but It’s hard for me to say if it’s just due to boredom because I am often running on less sleep than I need (pretty sure I have delayed sleep phase syndrome as well).

But regardless, everyone is different. I wouldn’t put too much in stock with one quote.

it was just one example I could remember offhand, but yeah that makes sense.

But also, I have no idea what a creyos ADHD assessment is either. If it’s just some free online test I wouldn’t necessarily put too much in stock with its results either…

it’s a paid service my psychiatrist uses. long series of cognitive tasks, no idea how accurate it is though.

I’m not just looking to apply a label to myself or look for excuses, I’m trying to identify a root cause and “understand my brain” as you put it. I do want guidance and new approaches to life, but that does not mean I have ADHD. If I don’t, I’ll be wasting time and money testing ADHD-oriented meds, therapy, etc. instead of whatever the actual issue is.

i was just the opposite, i got a math degree because it required no long term projects or papers. all homework and tests.

i’m coincidentally new to both adhd and 5g thc + 25g cbd gummies, so take this with a grain of salt.

i have not had a good experience with gummies yet (this was also before i was on concerta). the first few times i took one 5g gummy and felt nothing. Then (different day) i took two, again nothing. Then (again a different day) i took 3 and was completely spaced. it felt close to being drunk, which i really dislike. It was like my brain only worked 1 second out of every 5, constantly trying to catch up to the world around me. Not at all what i was expecting after having lots of friends who smoked to make other experiences better. i could not process anything let alone enjoy.

ultimately I decided i hated it and just went to sleep to get it over with. I’m going to take a break from gummies now that i’m starting concerta. Maybe once my adhd meds are stabilized i’ll try the gummies again.

yeah I’ve done a lot of reading about people’s experiences so I’m not expecting it to work perfectly right away. I just found your comment particularly to match my life experience as well up to this point.

I was kind of in a long term funk of “everything is meh”

it was always some level of mental effort to get myself to do things

this is my entire life. I’ve spent a lot of this year with two different psychiatrists and four antidepressants, none of which did anything except a couple fucked with my sleep. Today my doc finally said okay let’s test for ADHD, and apparently my results are consistent with ADHD. So now I am here checking how Concerta works for people.

dear god i finally found worse pizza than st. louis style pizza.

real american cheese is mostly made from a mix of other real cheeses, processed with some other stuff into a new thing.

the individually wrapped slices are less actual cheese and may not even contain enough to legally be called “cheese”.

so basically there are really different grades of american cheese, it is not all exactly the same thing. see the labels chart in the middle of this article:

until the demand for it skyrockets. then it’s either gone or just as expensive as all the tariffed coffee.

well all those people have to go sonewhere

to be fair it’ll be more like a greenish brown.

apps running in the background is fine though.

if you (not you specifically but anyone reading) find this happens often enough to be debilitating you may benefit from seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety/depression medication. My wife was like that and it made an immediate difference for her.

They could at least try to end corporate personhood… make it so that corporations are not protected by the 1st amendment and don’t get free speech…

You’d need a supermajority to amend the constitution, and that is completely unrealistic.

Practically speaking, what is supposed to be done about it? It’s all protected by the first amendment. Even if they were to somehow pass a new kind of “fairness” legislation in a future blue wave, the stacked SCOTUS will strike it down.

All that sounds like your subjective view not based on data. Not saying the DNC is perfect by any means, but it’s clear the economy was by far the #1 issue in this election. I mentioned exit polls earlier, and also Trump was way up compared to 2020 even in extremely rural counties. Israel, Cheney, Stein, etc have nothing to do with that.

exactly. I think whoever ended up as the D candidate was going to take the blame for the massive pandemic inflation. They were destined for failure from the beginning.

Looking at exit polls, people were far more concerned with the economy than anything else. I don’t think Israel mattered much to average people. Biden/Harris got fucked with pandemic inflation and people are too dumb to realize it had nothing to do with them. And that will be further reinforced because inflation is under control now so Trump will look great having done nothing whatsoever.
