Did anyone else have experiences in school where they started you on medication around age 5 and did not inform you of how the condition worked after diagnosis? How was it like trying to find more information about it in adulthood? I'm looking for others to compare to with my own experiences.

For me it was a diagnosis at age 5 after referral by the school to a psychiatrist and years of being told I'd “outgrow” it. I had problems at times with procrastination that led to issues with school work at different points a few years into being off medication. I guess I just want to understand what it was all about.

Anybody have any tips for keeping calm when a chud says their usual callous shit? I'm still a bit piqued from today.

Edit: Thank you all for your helpful comments. I greatly appreciate it.

Can anyone suggest sites for pen pals/ chat where you could find a person uninvolved with this site who is on the same page on left and queer issues? In the past I tried the new friend/hobby setting on the major dating apps but, I find they almost make impossible these days to sort for someone to talk to that has your same niche interests.

Hello. I was wondering if anybody could offer diet advice for better health, especially if they are planned diets. For context, I'm not yet in my 30s and I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic and am trying to look for diet plans that are not gimmicky. I have had some success losing 20 or so pounds over 5 months with just cutting back a lot of excess food and carbs. Made my A1c go down from 8.6 to 6.8. I think I might not yet be insulin dependent. However, I would just feel more secure with a routine to follow (same with exercise, but I will have to address that another day) It is hard to do that, given how commodified diet literature and fitness are. I greatly appreciate your input, especially from those who are in similar situations and might have experience with diet and remission.
