My disorder is very depression heavy. My differential diagnosis is actually MDD vs bipolar (as well as potential BPD or OCD), they aren't quite sure by observation. The only solid diagnosis thus far is ADHD. They figured Wellbutrin might help kill two birds with one stone (depression and inattentiveness).
They're still cautious about prescribing me stims though as they carry a risk of mania induction and don't want to chance it.
Apple Health. I find it incredibly useful for several things as I have a Watch that is passively tracking vitals and activity at all times, but the medication logging and reminders is particularly useful.
I have heard positive things about Vyvanse. My psychiatrist is wary of prescribing stimulants due to my bipolar diagnosis.
Used to take Adderall as a kid, was pretty effective for ADHD but totally destroyed my already low appetite
To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?
People asked Apple for this, and when they obliged, it sold so terribly that retailers literally could not give them away. Unfortunately, it seems those who actually want smaller phones are a vocal minority
Hello and welcome to the Windows XP community on sh.itjust.works! We understand that you might have a few questions about this group, its focus, and the guidelines that keep it running smoothly. To help you better understand and navigate this platform, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) along with detailed answers. These cover essential topics about our community and its rules, ensuring that your experience here is both enjoyable and informative.
1. Who is this community for?
This community is for anyone who has an interest in Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system. This could be due to nostalgia, curiosity, historical research, or even a need for information due to continued use of the system. We welcome tech enthusiasts, historians, programmers, hobbyists, or simply anyone looking to learn more about or discuss the legacy of Windows XP.
2. What does it mean that "all posts should be related to Windows XP"?
This guideline ensures that the content of the community stays relevant. Posts should center around Windows XP, such as its features, history, uses, software compatibility, and more. Off-topic discussion is allowed in comments, but the main posts must remain focused on Windows XP. Topics that veer away from Windows XP, like discussions of other operating systems or unrelated software in main posts, would not fit within this community's focus.
3. How do we handle discussions and sharing related to piracy?
Given the age and commercial unavailability of Windows XP, discussion of piracy tools and methods is not discouraged in this community. Moreover, sharing links to clean, verified ISO files is permitted. This is because Microsoft considers the license to be the legally important aspect, not the installation media itself. However, directly sharing links to piracy tools, activators, or any other methods that facilitate piracy is strictly prohibited to ensure safety and legal compliance.
4. Why can't I link unofficial update packs?
The reason we don't allow the sharing of unofficial update packs is twofold: security and reliability.
Security: Unofficial packs are not sanctioned by Microsoft and therefore carry a higher risk of potentially harmful content, including malware or spyware. Ensuring the safety of our members is our top priority.
Reliability: Unofficial update packs may not work as intended or could cause unexpected issues with your system due to untested or incompatible software components.
We recommend sticking to resources like legacyupdate.net, which ensures Windows Update functionality on discontinued Windows versions and sources all updates directly from Microsoft’s servers.
5. Why is the use of Windows XP on personal devices discouraged?
Windows XP hasn't received official security updates from Microsoft since 2014. This leaves the system vulnerable to security threats that have emerged in the years since. While it's not a rule, we strongly advise against using Windows XP on personal devices, particularly those dealing with sensitive data and connected to the internet. This community aims to celebrate and preserve the legacy of Windows XP, but we also want to promote safe and secure computing practices.
That concludes our FAQ post. We hope it has answered your queries and given you a clearer understanding of our community's vision, values, and rules. Your contribution to maintaining the legacy of Windows XP is greatly appreciated, and we hope that you continue to find our community a safe, respectful, and informative place to share your experiences and knowledge.
If you have any further questions or if there's anything you're unsure about, feel free to reach out to our moderators. We are here to help and ensure this community thrives in the spirit of collaboration, respect, and passion for the iconic Windows XP.
Thank you for being part of the community!
