I’m dying 😂. This is the most ‘Fediverse’ post and comments I’ve seen yet.

Sleep With Me and Sleep Magic podcasts are great. Both have interesting enough content to listen to, but designed to make you sleepy. Also they talk like normal people. I can’t stand the ones where people are using their “sleepy ASMR voice.”

All the This Week in Tech (TWIT) podcasts are also really good, and long so good to fall asleep to. Also good if you can’t fall asleep since they’re pretty interesting.

Darknet Diaries is a good one - great stories.

Yeah I’m in the US, and am hoping the ACA won’t get gutted too but this administration has done so many self-destructive things…

Thanks for your perspective. It sucks that the info is likely going to end up in the hands of the insurance industry, no matter what I do. I just do not trust them at all.

My doctor keeps paper records but I hear the younger generation is all EHR.

Also since these drugs are all controlled substances, at least in my state, they all get reported to SureScripts who will give the info to any health provider who asks. Technically insurance companies can’t get it but given how leaky you describe this business, I assume it’s just a matter of time.

So maybe no point in trying to keep this private? That would be sort of a relief honestly.

I’m not worried about the diagnosis per se. It’s pretty clear to me that I have it and I’m okay with that. Also I’ve been having no problems getting meds since my psychiatrist is on board.

I am wondering if there are just things I haven’t anticipated that come along with becoming ‘out’ to ‘The System.’

I guess I’m more concerned about the insurance side. I’ve spent a few years being paranoid about anxiety/depression because that can put you in a tough spot. ADHD does not feel stigmatized? Maybe that’s what I’m asking.

I’m in kind of a weird situation. I’m past my 40’s, and a close younger relative of mine got diagnosed with ADHD and I was talking with their psych and she said “uh it’s pretty clear you have this too., and you’ve been masking.”

So I was already seeing a psychiatrist, for anxiety, paying out of pocket because I didn’t want people in my profession or the health insurance company to know.

I told my own psych about the ADHD idea and she started prescribing stimulant meds to see if it helps.

It’s been amazing. My anxiety has practically melted away and just everything has gotten better for me.

Should I get diagnosed officially now?

On one hand I like the privacy.

On the other hand, my current psychiatrist might retire soon, and also if I have to change jobs, I think I’m required to list any pre-existing conditions.

I’d really like to hear other people’s experiences either way.

Such good advice and so sad as well

So sorry. Please see a therapist if you can afford it, this sounds like a big deal.

Sorry to rain on your parade but psyllium plants soak up lead, and ConsumerLabs tested different brands and they all had significant lead, and like half of them had more lead than California’s suggested maximum. No way to avoid it. I switched to Citrucel or something generic that doesn’t have that problem.

I may or may not be a lawyer, but if I am, I am not your lawyer and this comment is for entertainment purposes only.

At the core, a non disclosure agreement (NDA) just means you agree to keep your mouth shut about something, often in exchange for hearing about an investment idea or as part of a legal settlement.

Like most contracts, the consequences to the breaker are going to be no more than the actual damages to the other side.

So how much money did it cost them? Or the money value of the reputational harm? That’s probably the most you would be on the hook for. Unless the contract itself enumerates the amount of the “damage” for a breach, but whether they can actually enforce that is a can of worms.

This will hurt US tourism and social media companies more than anyone.
