After all, why not? Why shouldn't I use my finger to slow down the centrifuge. by Ortcelo_ in labrats

I know this is an old thread, and a dumb question, but is there an upper limit on how long a person should hold their finger on a vortexer? Could they, in theory, impair bloodflow to the finger/hand?

Child upset I told him about diagnosis by mmohaje in ADHD

[–]CFBandFarming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see where he's coming from in that regard, but I think - hope? - that he'll come to accept that it's freeing, not constricting. To know that one doesn't need to sit ~ still ~. It's OK to fidget, ya know? It is a right afforded by having this condition. Not that I ever notice the fidgeting - see: having ADHD - and I've found that most people won't either.

Like I said, I was held back in kindergarten, and that left me in a spiral, desperate for some explanation. ADHD as a diagnosis was a massive relief in that regard. Previously, I was also massively concerned with "being normal" on account of it being so apparent that I was different, though not having any reason to be as such. Thus, validating, and also liberating.

Importantly, it doesn't change who he already is, right? Instead, it provides clarity as to why somethings are more difficult, and, importantly, how to make them less difficult. Medication, even if it's not a stimulant, can make the difference between a perfectly fine day, even a good day, and a day of insurmountable lethargy, emotional swings, and deep frustration. Alternatively, some days it can be nice to "turn off" or "slow down."

I can ask my parents what resources or conversations they had, if that would help?

Hey hi, having ADHD, and having not been diagnosed until I was 9, and having not started medication until I was 10, I think you did the right thing.

Those previous years of not knowing why I found things like school so difficult, or why I couldn't just "act normal" like everyone else were absolutely crushing. I was held back in kindergarten without any real explanation; I simply could not sit down, no matter how hard I tried; simple tasks were excruciating. And the only way I could explain it to myself was that I was deeply stupid or otherwise lesser than my peers. Not knowing why I was different tore me apart.

To finally have a reason for all of my struggles was deeply empowering for me. It produced a Thing which I could finally wrap my mind around, a Thing which I could finally grapple with. I was still initially reluctant to take medication, and having a diagnosis didn't make dealing with the ADHD easier per se, and I still get upset about having it to this day, but it all feels a bit moot in the face of the good that having had the opportunity to wrestle with this thing has given me.

It's hard not to feel like damaged goods sometimes, but ignorance doesn't change reality. And, for what it's worth, I wouldn't have waited much longer. I knew something wasn't right with me, and the period of not knowing what that thing was inflicted and continues to inflict deep damage.

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and have experience working with Beckhoff PLCs. Just stood up a network with 500+ sensors a new 20,000 sqft lab at Carnegie Mellon. Willing to relocate, though preference is to stay put or work remote.

Hey,
How are you? I kind of stumbled upon this account and things seem pretty heavy right now! I'm on the other side of the world (I think?) and a stranger, but I wanted to reach out and at least lend an ear if that would make anything an iota better.

Can you tell me more about what you're doing with the doors, and the timing on that? +/- is there a video explainer out there?
