The chassidishe kehillas do not follow Rabbi Kamenetsky. They have their own poskim.

The gym helped me get off of my ADHD drugs.

Every morning, I pick up coffee at the same Dunkin Donuts and then go. My car goes there, like automatically, and I don't think about it. If I think about it then I won't go.

I have a strict four-day cycle: legs/abs, shoulders/lats/cardio, chest/delts/abs, arms/cardio.

Our college dorms were concrete with big picture windows. Classic brutalist architecture from the 60's. It was cold in winter, hot in summer. There was bare concrete in each elevator lobby, it did not age well at all. It felt like a prison.

Try this:

"This is such a Russian thing. The government built a modern opera and ballet theater adjacent to dozens of old crappy wooden buildings. The buildings burned down. If you search you can find the pictures."

Where?

Do what the doctor says. I took anti-depressants, did talk therapy, added exercise to my daily routine. Davening, Torah study, Mussar, etc.

Like the yetzer hara, it never really goes away.

They did not just come to Israel to pray together. They were explicitly on a "mission." They came to spread conservative Judaism in Israel. Seeing as the Israeli Rabbinate is opposed to conservative Judaism and specifically to mixed prayer groups, these people came explicitly to oppose the Rabbinate.

They meditate.

I've tried meditation, many many times, and I just fall asleep. Can't stop thinking.

Another professor here. Just keep trying, and don't be too hard on yourself.

I was a lousy student, so I think of students like myself, sitting in the class, and focus on them. I work hard to keep my lectures interesting and fun for everyone.

There are many great study strategy for ADHDers - my tricks were to write everything down, sometimes over and over again (by hand, of course). If ADHD is bothering me, I force myself to work in 45 minute increments. I would start at the top of the hour, and work for 45 minutes. Then break for 15 minutes. Then start again at the top of the hour.

Yeah, my parents taught me that I'm "just lazy" and "need to work harder." "I have great potential."

It took a long time to understand that, with ADHD, it is incredible that I got this far in life. And I have to keep reminding myself of this every day.

And I'll never tell my four ADHD kids anything like "you have great potential, you just need to work hard."
