  • is this just a roundabout breakup message??

  • "he hurts me all the time". Get out. That isn't normal.

  • Stressed about ADHD evaluation

    Jump

  • Hey there, sorry to hear about what you are going through. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, it has gone untreated but that's another story. In my adult life I've dealt with anxiety and depression. I've recently been diagnosed with bipolar.

    My daughter (20ish) had a very similar outlook as you. She was confident she had ADHD and wanted a diagnosis. But similar to you her psychiatrist wanted to focus on anxiety and depression. She pushed back against this and didn't make progress.

    But recently she went through a severe depressive phase and sought help. Instead of seeking help to get a specific diagnosis she went in simply asking for help.

    You could try going to a psychologist and saying I'm feeling x, y, and z and they are impacting my life in a, b, and c ways. Then let the expert guide you through what you need.

    I'm not saying this is you, but my daughter was convinced she needed to be treated for ADHD. But she really needed to be treated for her depression first.

    Separate from all that a word of caution from someone who is prescribed a controlled substance. If you come in strong asking for an ADHD diagnosis you might be flagged for drug seeking behavior. It's better to present what you are feeling and let the docs try and figure out what works.

    Best of luck to you, life isn't fun when it feels like your brain is out of control.

  • Early 80s which probably doesn't qualify as internet. Direct dial into various BBS message boards. Usenet to download boundaries and images.

  • 8 arrested after DeKalb police use tear gas to break up protest

    Jump

  • What a contrast. I was at the Atlanta protest and there were no problems with the police at all, in fact they were supportive and guided our march across the city

    Maybe the difference between planned and unplanned? Not staying this is ok, I'm trying to come to grips with it as DeKalb is my county.

  • Is there a way to de-google a smart TV?

  • NSW police continued to justify festival strip-searches using drug dogs despite knowing 30% hit-rate, court hears

    Jump

  • Mind-boggling to even think of being strip searched on the way into a festival. Granted my experience is mostly US, but I've been to Glastonbury and that was chill.

  • If real-life had D&D stats, what would yours look like? Would you focus new points on any in particular?

    Jump

  • Str 17 Dex 7 Con 6 Int 15 Wis 6 Cha 13

    Starting stats. I'm a large guy and just naturally strong. Low dex, I can't do any activity involving balance other than ride a bike. Con is low, I get sick and when I donit hits hard. Pretty high Int, computer science and gifted. But sabotaged by failing out of college more than once. Cha is ok, I'm an introvert who be engaging when he wants.

    Now in my in my 50s Str is down. Int is down, or maybe my Wis has come up enough to realize my Int isn't as high as I thought.

  • I really wish I could get a scooter but I weigh about 230 lbs, that's roughly the max weight for most scooters I find

    Jump

  • Like this type of Scooter? This is rated for 300ish lbs. 230 isn't that heavy. Yoru weight will be worse for range but that means find the biggest battery you can.

    I'm 290 and just got a cargo electric bike. Things are out there for the bigger guy.

  • Yeah unfortunately it makes sense now. Sigh.

  • [Question] When making pizza, is there a way to prevent soggy crust?

    Jump

  • "all the veggies" bring all the moisture. Cut back or precook the wet stuff. Go easy on the sauce.

  • Not we, the Daily Beast is one overly dramatic headline away from a tabloid.

  • How much do you tip at a restaurant?

    Jump

  • 15-25% usually 20%. I have worked for tips so I get it.

    My wife tipped 25% at an ice cream parlor last night. Which I thought was ridiculous considering he just pulled three pints out of a freezer behind him.

    It's too many places now.

  • So many unfinished projects

    I like being a generalist. But yes also ADHD.

  • First I've seen extending this to restaurants. That seems a bit much. Most restaurants around me are small businesses. Not cool for the folks trying to keep a single place afloat.
