Getting ADHD meds for the first time at nearly 50

Reply in thread

Be aware of what you're doing when your meds kick in. They can sometimes cause you to hyperfocus on the wrong thing.

This part is really important. I had depression & ADHD. Was off both meds for awhile then started seeing a doc again. They only treated the ADHD. So sometimes I’d be thinking about how crappy things are and then the meds would kick in and that’s what I’d be hyperfocused on: how much I hated the world and myself and I would spiral and spiral. That was the closest I’ve come to ending it all.

What're your ideas for a Halloween costume this year?

I’m going to my work thing as “guy who sat next to you on the bus.” Sliders, fluffy sweats, t-shirt that’s a little too small, crooked bathrobe, tie, camo hat with a little tinfoil peeking out. Considering some conspiracy nut appropriate things to carry around in a Target bag, but my guy is a “Moon landing? You believe in the moon?” type of nut. I’m going to win all the prizes unless the government tries to stop me. Again. The same way the Reverend Moon shot JFK from the grassy knoll. They covered it up by saying the astronauts were doing a moon shot to muddy the waters. That’s why they made up the moon and the moon landing.

If I don’t win, I’ll at least give them a lot to talk about.

Why did no one ever think about automating most of the diagnosis in healthcare, instead of being dependant on a doctor?

My symptoms: I had an itch that wouldn’t go away, was tired all the time (partially from spending all night scratching until I bled and then scratching for a few hours past that point instead of sleeping, and occasionally had breathing problems. After two years of seeing doctors and getting all kinds of tests, a lymph node swole up, I had a weeklong stay in the hospital with even more doctors, and it was finally diagnosed as stage 4 cancer. A herd full of doctors couldn’t figure me out, a form would have been worse.

Apocalypse Bunker Fails as Wealthy Residents Turn on Each Other

These aren’t “the wealthy” - most of these are priced at $50k-75k. That’s prepper nutjob price ranges and it’s no surprise that they’re shooting people with front end loaders since obviously it’s the government disguised as the company workers, coming to dig them out and take their guns.

The people who are actually wealthy have the means to not live in a hole in South Dakota surrounded by other people in their own holes. Their hole in the ground will be somewhere much less advertised.

Bruh. Attention seeking maxxxing.

No, what you want to do is find a female CEO and get her really drunk. After she passes out, you cover yourself and her ladyparts with tomato sauce and red Jell-O. When she wakes up in the morning, she’ll think she gave birth to you and twenty to thirty years later she’ll give you the company because of nepotism. Easy peasy.
