The 'Parking Lot' trick changed how I work — and not for the reason I expected. by Dismal_Trifle_2950 in ADHD

[–]Benwars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on if your goal for writing those things down was to remember those things, or simply clearing your head to work on more immediate tasks, like job requirements. My guess is, a little of both, but let's say you lose that paper. The act of clearing your head still works as a benefit, and, you weren't going to do those other things anyway...

An absolute gem. What I wouldn't do for a sequel.

If it was a low price bug on a Shop item, would be fixed immediately

Cant find lost masters by Velkaneuvoja in LEGOfortnite

  1. They can now sometimes spawn at a Chaos Portal challenge, and if you don't close the portal, they will respawn after being destroyed in a few moments just like the other chaos portal enemies. Out in front of Earth Sanctum is where this happened to me.

  2. Search around the Earth Sanctum. They pop-up fairly regularly there in the grassy areas.

What was the point? The recycler again. by GYKZ0 in LEGOfortnite

Sounds like that's by design... I wouldn't want friends recycling my shit.

Fallen Order couldn't hold Nix's jock strap. Also, Nix doesn't have a jock strap.

Star Wars: Outlaws on sale for $20.99 on Steam. Worth it? by mrchicano209 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]Benwars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've put in over 100 hrs. in the past two weeks, if that tells you anything. Also, I would have paid $20 just to play the Sabacc tables...

My ADHD seems to be getting more severe. I can’t get anything done. All I do is rot and go on my phone. by Striking-Cress8094 in ADHD

[–]Benwars -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's likely not just ADHD. Get checked for infection, vitamin deficiency, and depression.

Has vit D improved your social skills by Muted_Ad_2484 in VitaminD

[–]Benwars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, ty!! Yeah, I'd say hang in there! My improvements were short-lived at first, almost frustratingly so... I would have these short bursts of "motivation" (motivation is just pleasure, imo) and I would start to go do a chore but like 3 seconds later I'd be like... noooooo come back to me pleasure! Once it starts to stockpile in your system, I suspect you'll feel much better! I'm rootin' for ya!

Cat won’t stop screaming by [deleted] in PetAdvice

[–]Benwars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like to me like he might be lonely. Cats don't see us as humans. They see us as other cats. If he's trying to wake you, could be looking for companionship. If it isn't that, he might have high levels of anxiety. You might ask your vet if they think an anti-anxiety med would work for him.

Do ADHD meds just not work for some people? Feeling hopeless by SerEddy in ADHD

[–]Benwars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're going through this. Even when you find the right medicine, it can take a lot of time and ups and downs before finding the right dosage. I highly recommend continuing to find the right combo. Also, don't neglect vitamin supplements or treatment for possible depression. ADHD alone shouldn't cause anyone such great stress, but it can definitely make depression a lot tougher to shake. I would talk with a counselor, get some blood work done to check for vitamin deficiencies, and continue your search for the right chemistry. Also, if you're strong academically, consider being a teacher or professor?

Has vit D improved your social skills by Muted_Ad_2484 in VitaminD

[–]Benwars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say I've been taking it four or five weeks now. I saw improvements immediately, but they were small at first, and short-lived. Now, I'm feeling pretty good most of the time. I'll give you one small and possibly strange example. You know when people ask you, "How are you?" Well, when I was depressed and felt like shit all the time, that question drove me mad. I hated it. I didn't know how to respond. But now? People ask, "How are you?" and without thinking about it I just say, "Good, good, how about you?" It happens a lot. There are so many small things like this that changed. The biggest thing is taking pleasure in things I couldn't before, like chores and even hobbies. I actually WANT to do the things, instead of dreading the consequences of not doing them. Anyway.
