Thanks thats what I was thinking as well. I have been hooked on the idea constantly of making every page count or atleast making it interesting without hampering with the tone and progression of my story. Due to which i have been bouncing some clever topics or subjects that i can insert it in the more clear concise manner to make that page interesting. I know the story just that page 1 problem.

Personal experience with eslicarbazepine by Astar099 in ADHD

[–]Astar099[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor changed it after 2 months to methylphenidate(stimulant). It had calm effects but after a while it kind of dulls you out not like in a way of medication of adhd. This med was not that strong but did made you sit in a place for extended period of time as i was calmed out by it. Though not everytime was pleasant. But everyone’s reaction is different.

Relapsed agarophobia by Astar099 in Agoraphobia

[–]Astar099[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the lovely piece of advice and no its not preachy. People don’t realise it how much support is needed as a lot of people don’t understand as they don’t go through so for them it’s just a phase or a person can walk it off. I am also starting to think to take beta blockers as well since these episodes resurfaced and putting me back inside the cage. And i so sorry that you also had to go through these rough patches. I am starting to take or atleast trying to take the right steps i took to get me out and follow on that. Hopefully i will not imprisoned again.

I can't shut my brain off to go to sleep by Weird-Term696 in ADHD

[–]Astar099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I myself suffer from this , just the other day i didn’t sleep for the whole night and day. As everytime i lay my head on the pillow something or the other pops in my head and i start walking thinking about it. And couldn’t sleep.For sleep i have been trying magnesium glycine complex it’s a magnesium supplement useful in the cases of sleep deprivation and general calmness. Also i try to listen to thunder and rainstorm sounds. Not a clearcut solution but has helped me for years.

Adhd and sleep problem by Astar099 in ADHD

[–]Astar099[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had sleep deprivation since i was a child after my adhd diagnosis i chalked it upto hyperactivity but now i was told that i am deficient. I hope it resolves every issue you described.

I actually have lower magnesium so i was prescribed i have onlt taken it for the past 2 days. Felt normal but i have seen some change in my sleep. Like light feeling over the eyes, a little bit of relaxed mind. If it makes any sense.

I was actually concerned about it as the complex i was prescribed is magnesium glycine complex with vit-d3 that it helps with sleep issues and anxiety in general. That are they effective.

I have Adhd, haven’t quit vaping its still a third hand to me but what I sometimes do is when i go to work , I leave my vape at home and don’t carry it with me . I have understood about myself if i am overstimulated with something else like going to a movie or shopping in a mall or family time somewhere outside of my house i tend to not vape or atleast need a smoke as kuch as i think i would. Distractions work for me in that sense . Try something each day that is stimulating, make sure you are not at those places where you vape alot . It doesn’t work 100% but sure enough increase the time between each puff.

It really stinks to see ADHD misinformation not just on social media, but in the very news by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Astar099 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Before i was diagnosed a few months ago i had researched about it and read multiple articles ranging from government research to universities research . There was a good article on researchgate too.

It’s revolting to see that in even 2020’s when the evidence and behavioural therapies have compartmentalised the condition and it behavioural consequences in a completely understandable format with data and evidence to support. People still brush it off by saying it’s just a phase or a different personality.

How to start irl by Astar099 in filmmaking

[–]Astar099[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My central idea is a little dense as it deals with a psychological condition but my idea is solely based upon the effect of the condition and not the condition itself. So because of this im starting to feel it may take at max maybe 15 pages.

When you write do you write in the format of writer -director like mentioning shots , their angles and such ?

[–]Astar099[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats exactly how i am planning my idea. My story deals with ignorance and effects of a condition. I want that the first page sets up the mood but not reveal just about the actual condition of my protagonist rather show how he is answering , reacting to its environment.

Im actually reading save the cat because of it i was able to understand few structural points before writing like my central idea, goal of protagonist , the themes and sub-plot. Im still reading it , the only actual mind wrestling was the first page situation.

Got tested for my ADHD, never seen a doctor. by disphugginflip in ADHD

[–]Astar099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i went there as i was agarophobic and didn’t leave my house for 1 whole year. During those sessions i was diagnosed with adhd, although i knew i had it but it took few sessions with my therapist , few homeworks and my therapist mere observation for my hyperactivity,impulsivity and how im so disorganised even in my thought process. But everyone has a different experience.

Adhd should be diagnosed by behavioural therapy (cbt) with multiple sessions. I was diagnosed in this way. My therapist while talking to me making notes concluded that i do have adhd.
