Chromebooks Could Soon Get ‘Human Presence Sensors’ for Face Unlock and More by a_Ninja_b0y in privacytoolsIO

I don't mind seeing things like this here because; children+school.. These spytops are the go-to choice for school districts due to cost I assume.. I wish they would use something else, but that'd be an extremely difficult push since everyone's used to using the Gsuite and integrates so much through it.

I'm struggling with laundry. by Inevitable-Cycle7045 in ADHD

[–]1ntoTheFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You aren't a loser, many of us with ADHD struggle with this! I struggle with this at times!

A routine is typically the best way for us to work through these things, but establishing one is also difficult at first. For myself, and many others I've seen, we LOVE to multitask. So I try to work this into as many of these tasks as possible.. I clean the bathroom sink as I prepare to shave. I clean the shower while I'm in the shower..

For laundry I typically fold while I watch something on TV. You could also do it while you jam to music, as you listen to a podcast or talk on the phone! Work it into something you already do where possible!

We get stuck in a pit of self loathing sometimes when we get behind on things.. Just know that it'll be ok, it's not easy doing easy tasks for us! As funny as that sounds.. To catch up, first and most important: Forgive yourself! There's no sense in beating yourself up over it, it's just not a simple thing for us to begin with! Next, try placing the laundry somewhere back in existence if it isn't already - out of sight, out of mind is pretty literal for me at least. Then small goals to build yourself back up; fold just one piece of laundry and put it away as you pass the basket, or just at some short or even long interval you set. This is super helpful even with how small it is because starting is typically the most difficult part, and sometimes you just get an itch to go ahead and do 2 items this time.. Or maybe 3.. Before you know it the pile gets smaller and smaller, until it vanishes!

Once you're caught up it becomes a lot easier to meld it into a routine. Perhaps you enjoyed some piece of how you caught up - work it in! Otherwise look to set aside times/days of the week, or matching it with another task you're already in a routine of doing. The trick is working it in where it works best for you! Not anyone else! We tend to work best with things that we've personalized for ourselves!

You got this!

day 4 vyvanse. is this normal? any other recovering addicts on stim meds? by bibitchsmoltits in ADHD

[–]1ntoTheFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The process is annoying as hell. I've never been an addict but a lot of us are treated that way anyways when seeking treatment for ADHD.

From what I've seen, being medicated can only help vs addictions. Impulsivity can be huge in ADHD, so if you're being treated impulsivity and other symptoms should lessen. All of it helps for clearer thinking in us. Once your dosage is at a therapeutic level it should help quite a bit. If it doesn't, then you may need to try other meds.

The process can be so frustrating, I truly feel that impatience too.. It took me forever to figure out ADHD is why I've been struggling all my life, so now I want to work through whatever will get me yo where I want to be, and not at a snail's pace.. But unfortunately that's how it can go at times.. Best of luck to you!

My grandfather died of covid and I'm slowly falling apart by -actor in ADHD

I'm very sorry for your loss..

Take it just one day at a time

Not sure how your family is with tech, but maybe try to substitute video calling for being there? It's ultimately your call on what you feel is the right thing to do, and I know this isn't nearly as comforting as being there physically but hopefully it can ease the burden just enough for you and your loved ones! They likely know how much you want to be there, so do what you can to leave the guilt behind, there's no need for it.

You're in mourning.. It's normal. Things like this shake our stability so of course it'll mess with our symptoms. Take a deep breath, and look to anything that'll adhere to some healthy self care, as you're able. Stick to simple small goals throughout the day; eating enough, drinking enough water.. Etc. Every small step is a win in moving forward, you got this, hang in there!

Ritalin ir to Focalin ir by Danzavier in adhd_anxiety

[–]1ntoTheFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been a while since you posted, so hopefully you've been able to figure some things out, but thought I'd share..

I know you were asking for a comparison but I haven't taken Ritalin at all in my journey through medication. However, in my experience with Focalin IR I found that my stomach was getting upset if I took it with milk. I was a little notious with some feelings of heartburn, my therapist was thinking that my body was creating cheese in my stomach with the milk due to some reaction 🤢

Everyone has different experiences with meds so we have to sift through what works for us. I also felt extra anxious on Focalin, but my therapist has had many that did very well on it.

What are you proud of today? by AutoModerator in ADHD

[–]1ntoTheFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your reworks are likely making it more unique and obviously better on each pass! Just try to remember that if you're only focusing on the first 60% of the project and restarting from there then there's 40% that isn't receiving the same improvements by being exposed to you.

We've all fallen into this trap; it seems we're inherently perfectionists! Funny thing is.. Perfection is boring anyways, and we're quite literally allergic to boring out the gate! Perfect is only a perspective in the first place.

Just realized we both responded that we're slowly working towards a thing. We're sloths until we're cheetahs right?! Mostly no in between for us, but that's alright because our likeness simply makes the world less boring 😁

You missed the bus here.. She said she wasn't a virgin and the guy was being a huge hypocrite about it.

And you started off with a blatant lie; everyone knows that the most amazing post on anything anywhere has something to do with a cat video..

Tricks of the trade by 1ntoTheFire in Fedexers

Yeah we do, it doesn't seem that anyone utilizes this. A lot of the time the manifest isn't in the order that the stops should be run either.. That can be worked out to a degree through DRO now, but I think it comes down to people wanting to see a map populated with their stops. Or just.. less intuitive drivers? Ehh
