  • The knowledge lost would be devastating. I hope they are simply forced to change their business model.

  • Apart from water and salt, are there any inorganic foods?
  • What a fascinating question! I hadn't previously considered this.

  • I used to be the same :) But a while back, I was hospitalized for severe depression. I learned in IOP that doing something you love to warm up for the day - instead of immediately pursuing productivity - improves happiness and helps me look forward to the day instead of dreading it and making it hard to get out of bed in the morning.

  • I do as well. It's a lot of work, but at this point, it comes naturally.

    If you're looking to bolster any routine: my unsolicited advice is to add stuff to your routine slowly over time. One thing at a time. If you jump into a whole new routine, you'll burn out and abandon it. It definitely takes some building and patience.

  • Oh, a morning routine! It's my favorite part of the day and something I'm oddly passionate about!

    Most importantly, I make sure to go to bed at a reasonable time the night before, and i leave my curtains open to let the sunlight wake me up naturally. Just in case I'm extra sleepy, I set a vibration alarm on my phone and place it under my pillow for backup

    After I wake up, I:

    1. Head to the restroom

    2. Sluggishly make my bed

    3. Go downstairs, drink a glass of water to hydrate, and then brew some coffee

    4. feed the cats

    5. Then I drink coffee and watch TV for a bit while I wake up and wait for the caffiene to kick in

    6. Shower, brush teeth, apply deoderant, style hair, shave stubble, apply cologne

    I have really shit mental health, so I have to take extra care of myself and be very intentional about my actions. My morning routine is a sacred part of the day and helps me enjoy being alive :)

  • Relatable
  • All of this is completely normal, yes. However, frequency and intensity are typically the separating factors between neurotypicals and those diagnosed with ADHD.

  • Really, ….. it's my fault they built a terrible system?
  • This is wildly incorrect. Where the heck did you get this data from??

  • Can't explain
  • I'm not sure if I understand how hotel AC functionality is devoid of comfort. Wouldn't a functional AC also be indicative of comfort? Definitely better than a Non-functional AC i suppose.

  • People would use "Hide all political posts and comments" more often than any other filter
  • The trick is nuance. Being bombarded constantly by meaningless ragebait is not healthy, but it it very important to remain informed.

  • Greta Thunberg found guilty of failing to obey police at climate protest
  • Because she is a public figure and a politically exposed persons

  • I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
  • Libertarians can be both Left or Right, Libertarianism is just the opposite of Authoritarianism. Left/Right just indicates economic policy.

  • What's something that's viewed as socially acceptable today that you think will become unacceptable 20 years from now?
  • Very interesting! Im going to research this more later! Thanks for the information!

  • What's something that's viewed as socially acceptable today that you think will become unacceptable 20 years from now?
  • Oh interesting! I was unaware that German didn't contain gender neutral pronouns. Is German a gender heavy language similar to Spanish?

  • What's something that's viewed as socially acceptable today that you think will become unacceptable 20 years from now?
  • Oh, easily fixed: If you aren't able to tell if someone identifies as Masculine or Feminine; there's a solid chance that they're Non-Binary. If you aren't sure though, its always safe to refer to and think of someone as "They/Them" and Non-conforming to traditional gender roles.

  • What's something that's viewed as socially acceptable today that you think will become unacceptable 20 years from now?
  • Gender Identity is not human nature, but rather the product of culture and language association. There have been plenty of cultures in recorded history with multiple - what we would call today - Gender Identities.

    Language and its impact on perception of reality is a very interesting topic of study.

  • What’s a skill that everyone should have?
  • Typically I'd agree, but in this day and age and its emphasis on efficiency and lack of free time individuals get to spend with family and/or have a hobby - knowing how to prep nutritionally healthy foods in under 5 minutes can go a long way.

    I eat a lotttttt of Soup, Frozen Vegetables and Frozen Protien. Its not glamorous but its better than spending an hour cooking every day.

    Also, I hate cooking.

  • Non-Medication Management?

    Greetings, fellow ADHDers!

    These last three years have been a shit show, that led to the simple conclusion: Medication sucks (for me).

    I've been through at least 8 Non-Stims and 3 Stims. The only Medications that worked for me was Adderall (but the anxiety it induced was unbearable) and Straterra (but I'm of the lucky few who have Urinary side effects). My Psychiatrist tried to balance it out with Zoloft and other similar medications but the side effects whacked me out so hard, it resulted in a Misdiagnosis of Bipolar Type 2. (Two weeks after i stopped taking all meds, all side effects subsided and my emotional state stabilized.)

    Now, Im terrified of Medication. A lower dose of Adderall would conceivably help, but I dont like the health risk its impact on my cardiovascular system could have, and I have a genetic history of heart disease.

    In conclusion: Medication isn't for me, and I need some tips of managing symptoms and depression related to ADHD symptoms. Life is HARD.

    Thank you
