Instead of comp, here's a pool table. That'll keep everyone in the office!

Yes, that's exactly the feeling. https://youtu.be/AbSehcT19u0

I hope you are able to find a doctor and get some relief.

It's amazing how much ADHD I've been fighting moment to moment without realizing it.

I work in a bit of a chaotic job where work is generally self directed and I get a constant flow of email, messages, and people coming to talk to me. I just got my ADHD diagnosis and have an appointment for medication coming up. I decided to do an activity log to see what I was doing in a day so I could compare before and after medication.

I tried to plug in my phone 4 times in the span of an hour before I finally did it. Like had the end of the charger and my phone in hand and got distracted because I realized I forgot/needed to do X, Y, Z. I set out the day with a goal and before I knew it I had a half dozen half written messages, a longer Todo list, and no work done towards what I needed. Guess what I'm doing this evening? Lol

How long has this been going on? I knew I was struggling with motivation and focus, but it blows my mind how present it is moment to moment.

Fingers crossed for medication.

I would highly recommend doing an activity journal as a point of reference. Within a day it has already put things into perspective for me.

Thanks for checking. I'll make sure to do the same

I'm sure the majority of users are not aware of this and are putting themselves at risk by uploading.

Or ever.

It's difficult to know when it's been properly applied. Stick to something that you can be sure is applied properly to exposed areas.

And any other identifying information in image metadata? I would hope that it does so on image upload, but I'm not sure.

How do you will yourself to the right thing? Is it a matter of creating the right environment? Being mindful?

Yeah, but one day the thousands of browser bookmarks will come in handy. Right?

Ugh, I hate that this resonates.

Does medication help with this?

Adult ADHD Diagnosis - what is the process like? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was recently diagnosed from a neuro-psych. Similar process of many hours of testing (~5h). My friend was also diagnosed recently from a psychiatrist through question answer, but no formal cognitive evaluation measure. The amount of clarity I got from the neuro-psych in terms of cognitive function and my specific circumstances was significantly more helpful than what my friend got from the psychiatrist.

After all the formal testing, I was given a thorough 17 page report including a breakdown of each aspect of cognitive functioning, any applicable disorders (with recommendation for therapy to investigate further and confirm), next steps, and treatment and coping mechanism recommendations. My friend was given a broad diagnosis of unspecified ADHD with no additional information.

If you are able to afford the neuropsych eval, it is well worth it.

Exactly.

At the end of the day people like him are allowed to have so much influence because of regulations (or lack there of). Tax them, hold them accountable legally, something.

It's crazy to me that we live in a world where money and celebrity implies influence, and credentials don't mean much on a general public stage. This man can tweet something insane and its taken as a serious discussion point.

Given that money can buy influence, it is a legitimate risk to society, I get that. But how crazy is that as a concept?
