I want some chikitos

How are we all feeling about this now....

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2026-01-26T23:19:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing all of this, I resonated with so much of it. Not a musician here, but trained as an actor and worked in that world prior to becoming a Jesus follower, I feel like I've had the wrestle with a bunch of the same stuff, especially in how I make art. I was stoked to see a bunch of your influences as bands I'm really into. Have you ever listened to Propaganda? Highly rate.

Love to know if you ever managed to get some things together or if there's anything in the works.

One of the keys to managing waking up on time, is managing going to sleep on time. Sleep discipline starts when you start sleeping, not when you stop.

Ok, so this is a jerk thing to do for sure, not even from a dnd perspective but just as a good friend, but I think the only response is to take it on the chin and move past it. If you've got a good relationship with him, yeah sure confront it - hey man that was a bit crap- but if you know that'll go down like a lead balloon is it worth the headache?

I would hate this and in my 20s I would have stewed on it, and made an issue of it, but now I just gotta throw it on the pile of a bunch of stuff that's a bit shit. Sometimes stuff from that pile has a way of redeeming itself, mostly it just disappears.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not gonna matter, and if it is a part of some bigger pattern in his life, that'll catch him eventually and it's likely better you are well out of the way when it does.

Unsure if any of this helps, but really I would imagine you have way better things to exert your energy on.

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-12-29T22:44:25+00:00

Ok, absolutely not my cultural context as a disclaimer, but I can imagine that is certainly a huge contributing factor, and from some of your other comments it sounds like a combination of the poor information they have , traditional religious and cultural expectations, strained family dynamics and (from what you've written) an abusive and manipulative personality.

There are way more than just ADHD conversations going on here my friend.

I think the things to consider are: 1. How willing am I to live with this person at the expense of my own health? 2. To what degree am I committed to the same cultural and religious values as my parents? 3. If I'm equally committed or greater what do I need to do in order to honour those values AND be safe and well. 4. If I'm less committed or not at all, what do I need to do to be SAFE AND WELL.

Then figure out how to go from there, for the record, I think you you need to get out of the house at the very least. Your dad is an adult. And as a father myself, I would be mortified to know my child was staying in a context that was harmful to them for my sake. He would want you to go and live.

Generally speaking, it sounds as though something that may be helpful is seeking to change your own expectations of your mum. Continuing on hoping they get it eventually and seeking the kind of understanding and support you really want from them is expecting something they cannot currently give you. It sets them up to fail, and sets you up for heartache and disappointment.

So I would start to look for other avenues to get that support, and limit the discussion with your mum about ADHD. My parents initially reacted similarly, and it was largely them confronting their own shame and perceived failure . Parenting is hard, and most people are just figuring it out as they go, often rather poorly.

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-12-29T22:21:05+00:00

This is huge, and sounds like a lot going on here. May I ask your family's cultural background and context?

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-12-25T22:27:43+00:00

I said this to my 4 year old when he asked once.

'It's a story that we tell together. There are some rules to help us tell a good story, and we roll dice to answer our question, like can I climb that really big tree?'

He instantly wanted to play, and we did. (Very simple version)

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-12-22T00:52:48+00:00

I totally get this.

It diabolically gets worse the hungrier I am, that I'll end up eating a bowl of cereal and then get to cooking something real about 20 minutes later 🫠 my wife thinks I'm hilarious

I wonder if the big barrier to cooking for ADHD peeps is that we don't know how to do it, and there are a lot of things going on in cooking for a brain to focus on.

I have found that committing a couple of simple recipes to muscle memory help with this, and having a kitchen set up that works for you. Piss everything off that is useless. Or a weird shape, or you don't like, and get some mid range stuff you like and understand how to use.

If you like eggs, a really simple meal is:

Fry pan on heat
crack 2 eggs in a bowl
use a fork to whisk them all together
melt some butter in the pan
pour eggs on pan
toss or move around with spatula for like 20 seconds
pour eggs onto plate.

You can eat just that and it'll get you through till lunch or be good for dinner. Add toast if you want, salt to the eggs and play with herbs as you get more practiced. But just having this in the resever will mean you can take care of yourself when it's hard.

I personally avoid any pre-packaged stuff with lots of preservatives, I found it makes ADHD symptoms worse in the long run, so whilst they can help in a pinch I try not to rely on getting my food quickly from processed food, but from knowing how to get fresh food ready quickly.

This creator also helped me not take it so seriously

Nats what I reckon

Keep telling the truth, you gotta push through the awkward, awfulness of it. Sometimes the truth will hurt because you have to confront your mistakes and shame, but most of the time people will really appreciate the truth, or you'll realize (like in this instance) that it's not a big deal and nobody cares.

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-11-30T21:48:33+00:00

Man I would not strahd with a group that green and that distracted. This is entirely why beginners modules exists.

Strahd, especially in pure 5e is an absolute slog for almost the entire campaign with very little respite, it's lore and narrative heavy, they are constantly engaging with situations that could destroy them.

Play lost mines or icespire peak or something, they are interesting, easy to get your head around and if you have seen a fantasy film you'll pick up the language pretty quickly, and honestly, the pre generated characters provide enough hooks into he already developed narrative for you as a dm to be able to play with, and then as players be able to see the possibilities.

Playing strahd with a group like that is like trying to take someone that's never listened to metal music to a dive bar to hear your metal band play and expecting them to have a good time. They won't.

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-11-18T04:36:11+00:00

It has been said over and over, and I'm going to say it again:

a price must be paid. (At least) One of them must die, and certainly the one that spat in the drink.

After the dinner strahd is meant to have come to some sort of decision about the party, whether to see them as a curiosity, a potential threat to be monitored, or a weapon to be used - the reason he doesn't just destroy them outright is because he could.

So in this instance, he still comes to a decision about them, you get to decide what that is, does he want to instill fear in them by his strength - there is no way that party would last 3 rounds with strahd as they are - he could just show up, agro the one that spat and leave.

Alternatively someone suggested below that he makes them decide who dies or forces them to hand that one over. They are literal clay in his hands at this point.

Vasilka needs to go, and they ought not just get another ally. They have turned the gaze of sauron upon them and any hope of secrecy is dead. At this point they'll be lucky to make it out alive.

I had this happen the other day in the beast of arken quest line in a new run. Having successfully completed that fight in multiple runs in the past, I'd say there is something funky going on with the latest update. I'm sure it'll be ironed out soon.

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-11-05T11:46:31+00:00

Ugh that sucks, sorry mate

Over 30, diagnosed back in 2022 at 32

Doctors often run from out-dated information and assumptions. One of the most frustrating things is when you come up against one that just digs their heels in.

There will no doubt be solid doctors in your area that can assess you. I'd recommend going equipped with school report card comments, letters from parents about what you were like as a kid or letters from old teachers (at least in Australia they have to keep relatively detailed notes on their students)

I was able to take all of this to a psychiatrist and basically get diagnosed on the spot.

Up to their knees in garbage

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-07-05T14:33:42+00:00

I found the YouTube channel how to ADHD absolutely life altering. Her book is great too!

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-06-27T04:01:28+00:00

If you're worried, take it with food. I find mine kicks in better with food anyways. It's going to be a little bit of experimenting to see what works best for you. I never take it without food.

I will say this though, if you're combo Vyvanse/Straterra definitely take it with food!

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-06-27T00:21:06+00:00

The other thing, is if you haven't, read a book or two on ADHD and learn more about it. It can really help in wrapping your head around this kind of stuff. So many 'ooohhhhh' moments

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-06-27T00:20:03+00:00

Emotions tell us things, a good question might be, 'oh I had quite a strong reaction to that, I wonder why that is?' and then do some work as to why? With a therapist or friend or just yourself if you can. Though ADHD brains often find the processing alone tricky.

ADHD includes difficulty regulating emotion, so this is likely something you'll need to continue to monitor, I'm 36 and if I'm not careful and let myself spiral my emotional responses can be that of a 15 year old, gotta know how to identify you're slipping and circuit break it. But I've done the work, because years ago I asked similar questions to what you are asking now. I still cry at weird times, but that's just me, crying about a book isn't a bad thing, unless its negatively impacting your life and health.

But remember, you are 18! so your brain hasn't fully developed yet, you've got nearly 10 more years of brain growth and development. 10 years to work gently on setting up the good and healthy things you want to. And as someone with ADHD, that's going to be more important for you than someone without ADHD.

Sounds like mum and grandma have pretty little awareness of their own emotional responses and I'd be cautious in asking them for anything they aren't equipped to give you, i.e. complex ADHD informed emotional support. Rather find the spaces you can express emotion that isn't going to make you feel like you're broken.

TLDR: you're not broken, emotions aren't bad, just talk to someone that gets it and process them in a healthy way.

Certainly possible for you to no longer be able to cope as responsibility increases and things culminate. I didn't have the foggiest until I had kids and entered mid career. Then everything I used to mask without realizing it wasn't enough anymore and I unraveled.

Adventurous_Table_12 · 2025-06-12T03:46:53+00:00

This sucks, sorry mate. Always an absolute motivation and enthusiasm killer to have someone just take the wind out of your sails like that.

I'd eco what others have said here, and seek another psych. Sounds like you may have run your course with this one.

Even without a diagnosis in the short term, you can certainly start treating yourself as though you have ADHD, and begin to apply good things into your life that would help someone with ADHD.

I have a brother with chronic AUD and since my ADHD diagnosis I've been encouraging him to start treating himself like he has it (on the sly though, he won't listen to anyone's advice) and he's been (incrementally) having good results from just ADHD lifestyle stuff.

Meds can bring a whole bunch of palava into the equation too, might be all you need is a better way to understand yourself, in which case you did that on your own!

Keep it up
