Something to understand about ADHD is that it's very much a "physical" issue. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts the signal pathways between your pre-frontal cortex (the brain's filter) and the amygdala (fight, flight, freeze). Some people's brains can sort of re-wire over time and you'll develop coping mechanisms, but I'm 39 and mine sure didn't. The stimulant medications stimulate various neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine which helps those malformed neural pathways function more effectively. It also tends to help with anxiety which often goes hand in hand with ADHD. Do yourself a little favor and read this article from Cleveland Clinic, they've been recommended to me by several health providers as a reputable source. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4784-attention-deficithyperactivity-disorder-adhd

Don't read it before they give it to you or it will skew your answers. This is what I was given before being offered medicine. Then when I responded well to the medication my psychiatrist was like "yeah you probably have ADHD. lets see how you do on the meds". Good luck.

Damn, that sucks. Yeah it was called ADD when I was diagnosed as well. It's all just ADHD now, but there are different presentations as I mentioned above. Also you can have ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder together now, which wasn't in the DSM prior to like 2014.

Are you in the US? And if so did your therapist offer to give you a screener? It's a self-evaluation that you can do, then you try meds and if the meds are effective you probably have ADHD. I wasn't given any kind of initial evaluation beyond that. And also there are three main presentations of ADHD - inattentive (lost in thought), hyperactive-impulsive (what the media focused on), and combined. Each individual's presentation will be unique though.

There are some cheap sprinklers you can make pretty early but they only water like 8 tiles or something.

Subnautica is one of those games that's incredible hard to recreate. Once they started trying to explain every little thing about the aliens I completely lost interest. You may be able to bottle lightning, but you certainly can't do it twice.

Stardew lost 100% of it's appeal to me once I learned that the events just repeat year after year and there are no consequences for doing nothing. I really want to get into the cozy vibe gaming space but I just can't seem to do it.

Janeway kept Kim on a permanent coffee-finding mission.

I was unironically told that I should "keep a lower profile" if I want to avoid being bullied. I spoke to nobody and hugged the walls walking from class to class. I don't know how much lower of a profile I could keep.

Please don't pour fat down the drain. Starving children in Africa could use that bacon grease!

It's mother was shot by another person so He and another adopted the two orphaned kittens. One died uhhh in it's sleep let's say and the other survived.

Not to say it wasn't bad back then, but I live a pretty comfortable life and nursing a kitten would probably still be the best part of my day.
