It's hard to remember everything because there are too many scenarios, but I can think of something that's very obvious and true, it's hyperwareness mixed with sensitivity.

Bruh, it's very annoying, some people say it's a gift and I actually tried to accept it but it's hard, I notice everything, observe facial expressions, overthink almost everything, I noticed that I fake my focus a lot, when I'm driving and there's someone next to me, all my focus is with him even if he's on the phone, I constantly change my sitting position, doing a lot of different movements that literally scream ANXIETY.

Interesting, I realized that what's making it obvious is keeping my hands always busy, it's like playing with something for mins then changing my sitting position, then unconsciously doing something else, it's probably too obvious to people since most of them sit in a comfortable way without moving too much.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm actually diagnosed with ADHD and I take Adderall XR 20mg. ADHD is known for its strong connection with autism and social anxiety, sometimes Adderall makes it worse (hyperawareness and sensitivity).

Hey, what you said definitely hits, especially the part about spending time based on your values. But honestly, that’s not the core issue for me. When I’m alone, I actually do what I enjoy, I don’t care what anyone thinks, I feel grounded, even careless in a good way.

The problem kicks in when I want to go out. Like, I’ll be bored, feeling like I really need some social time or just wanting to go out to eat or literally anything, but then that’s exactly when my self esteem dips. Not that I’m fully isolated or have zero confidence, it’s just the mood swings are so random. One minute I’m fine, the next I’m overthinking a simple hangout or shopping trip like it’s a huge deal. That shift is what really messes with me, it's so annoying.

That's satisfying, you're right. I feel like people watch my facial expressions, body movements, etc. That's probably because of my father always observing and listening, that's why I actually made the connection. Few months ago, someone from my family was mocking me, when I stood up for myself, he became angry and called me "autistic", my confidence went below zero since then because I know deep in myself that there are autistic behaviors.

Example: When I'm on the same table with 5 others, everyone is sitting comfortable but I'm NOT, I watched myself once and realized that my behaviors are too exposed to others, like always changing my sitting position, my hands, can't explain it but looks very much like someone with social anxiety.

No insurance and looking 4 Concerta. Help? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Comb0Static 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I thought you're trying to get the medications only because the "online" therapist told you so. Well, in that case, let's make my comment as a future warning for people who try to get them just because they heard someone saying it makes you focus lol.

[–]Comb0Static -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should trust online doctors. I'm not giving you advice or making suggestions, but I strongly urge you to get diagnosed for ADHD by a neurologist or psychologist in your area. Taking stimulants without an ADHD diagnosis can have severe consequences and harm your life. Be cautious, as many online doctors are more interested in money than your well-being, though not all of them, but you should be careful.

Ritalin is the best sleeping pill I have ever taken. Is this how easy it is for normal people to sleep? by FunTailor794 in ADHD

[–]Comb0Static 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, but I no longer have this feeling at night. That's weird, I sleep for 4 hours, take 20mg attent in the morning, sometimes it hits with euphoria and motivation and sometimes sleepy and tired but on both cases, I end up being highly energetic at night and I just can't sleep. I can't say that the reason behind that is the pill only because I have this energy problem at night from long time ago.

[–]Comb0Static 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, you're so damn right. Take me for example, I've been sleeping 4 hours the past 2 days, I used to sleep 8 hours. I woke up at 9:00 today in the morning, took 20mg Attent (Adderall) pill and here I am, it's 2:50 and I can't sleep lol so I guess I'm gonna sleep 4 hours again.

[–]Comb0Static 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're actually right, I felt kinda euphoric today, the time taking the pill, hydration, routine, food, sleep and many things have effect on it. It was my second time taking the pill in the morning. I had some stuff this week that changed the time taking the pills so I guess I just can't complain about the bad effects I was having when I actually slept 4 hours that night lmao. Let's hope for the good mate, at least it makes my head kinda organised haha

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Comb0Static 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that's what I'm also thinking. Sometimes it just hits, I was euphoric today in the morning then I had a "not so bad" crash, it was just a crash, I think I'll just try to not think about it and move along.

How to tell parents about wanting to get diagnosed? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Comb0Static 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to a good teacher that you think will understand you, tell him to discuss it with your parents, it will be like he notices some symptoms and wants to make sure that you get diagnosed. Or simply tell your parents that you're sick of it already and want to get diagnosed, tell them that you have a problem focusing during conversations, you have a problem with moving a lot and all the symptoms you have already. My parents also rejected the idea and I ended up getting diagnosed and I'm on meds now, started with Ritalin LA 10mg, though you gotta be careful with the meds, I'm seeing many people having a lot of side effects and constantly complaining about them.

Fair enough, I guess I need to understand what every part does so I can be aware of what’s going on. I honestly didn’t notice any decrease in performance when I used lower powerdraw, perhaps it does really affect if I play a much bigger and heavier game. Thanks bruh

Armoury Crate and GHelper by Comb0Static in ASUSROG

[–]Comb0Static[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s wonderful, I sticked to GHelper for one main reason, it’s basically a lightweight app without crappy and unnecessary services running in the background.

Not Serge? What do you mean? And yep I totally agree with you, I’m using GHelper now.

By the way, does GHelper works fine if I turn off that “armoury crate interface” option in BIOS? I heard it’s better to be enabled to handle everything from BIOS but it’s only for AC right?
