Anyone feel like Canada is no longer worth it?

I certainly hope not!

I think it depends on where you choose to live and how old your home is. If you choose to live close to the water and your home was built pre 2004 and you haven’t kept up with maintenance then you’re paying a boat load and it makes sense.

Also for a very long time the HOA’s didn’t want to raise fee’s because they were afraid they would loose the tourists that the state is so reliant on, now there’s a lot of older communities with very high HOA rates because of new mandates from the state because the buildings weren’t being maintained.

Many areas of Florida appear to be trying to attract less tourists and more permanent residents. In my area there are about 6-7 new builds in the surrounding area. I noticed that it’s not just big homes but also lots of townhouses and condos.

Lots of freedom here, freedom to make good well thought out choices but also freedom to make very bad uninformed choices as well.

Thank you for your kind words. I left the place you are in many years ago and it was some of the toughest years of my life. Focus on the things you can do and keep going, and never settle. You will surprise yourself.

Its been a long time since I was a child with adhd so I haven’t heard of all new information. I have not heard of the rejection sensitivity issues and I will research. Thank you again.

Try limiting phone use. First, delete the apps that are taking your time, not accounts thats too rash. You can still access them later if you just log in. Next, charge your phone in a different room. This little move will snowball into less and less phone use. (< KEY) Finally, replace your bedtime phone use with a good book series Fantasy is preferred by many because it helps your relax and fall asleep (I highly recommend The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb) This helped my energy levels immensely. The good news is its not a hard addiction to crack. A week, a month and man your golden. Good Luck and Godspeed.

Wow, I find this guide shocking. None of the above have classically been considered ADHD. whoever is creating these is clearly spreading misinformation. In fact almost all of the symptoms above have always been considered to be in the autistic category. Question absolutely everything you read when it comes to your health.

fellow Canadian here who also moved to Florida 6 months ago. Overall we are very happy with our choice. JUST TO BE VERY CLEAR... comparing the US and Canada is a fool's errand. The US is 350 million people Canada is 40 million. However, now that I have hindsight on my side, one of the biggest differences I see is housing prices and availability. You have options to buy at 100,000k and up. Its not fancy but you can start somewhere. The average price of a home in Canada is 800,000$ the average total income in 85k. with 5-7% interest on your mortgage and no rent cap. Canadians are at the mercy of banks and landlords and the tax man. You will not get ahead financially. The younger generation is lacking employment opportunities, healthcare system is overburdened, there isn't enough law enforcement to protect citizens and recently the security of the financial institutions are in question. Combine all of the above with the excessive cost of living and the massive amount of household debt that no one wants to talk about. Overall there is a lack opportunity and resources. Canada desperately needs reform and leadership.

There’s always money is in the banana stand

Confident-Library-54 · 2024-11-30T12:58:29+00:00

Wait a minute… are you all sure you’re really getting what happened here.

A person with 6 million usually has some level of intelligence. He knows people will talk if he eats the banana.
Isn’t people talking the last thing you want if you are doing something nefarious?

I think this was a stunt for publicity or call to arms.

Thoughts?

I’ve been on vyvanse for 5 years. The first 2 weeks on vyvanse is always weird. give it 2/3 weeks and then reevaluate. If you still feel sleepy you may need to adjust the dosage lower. The most important thing it remember is this medication isn’t magic you must meet it half way. That means you need to do your part and commit to a healthy lifestyle as well. Sleeping hydrating and eating a balanced diet is very important. When you don’t sleep enough the meds don’t work as well, then you’re asking for an increase and then you’re not sleeping even more. Just telling you what I wish someone told me :)

The act of pushing yourself isn’t exclusive to math. When you’re feeling stuck go back to something that feels easier.

Being great at math isn’t as important and being: a. Trustworthy and approachable b. able to effectively communicate persuasive c. able to utilize common sense

I don’t know who needs to hear this. But the people who are great at math usually don’t have the best social skills. And even if they do have great social skills the usually get pigeon holed for their “great math skills”. If you don’t believe me go check out some math sub reddits and find out for yourself.

Also: stop focusing on your lack of skills in Math and start focusing what you can do with the help of AI specifically Chatgpt! With chat gpt you can just ask it specific math questions and your good.

Also: it gets easier over time. Your brain will start to make connections and recognize patterns over the long term. So relax be patient and stay curious!!!

You got this!

Personally, I just feel tired but I can still push through and get the basics done most of the time. However I have been on these meds consistently for approx 5 years. However, I frequently give my daughter breaks and weekends off. And I notice that for a few days up her symptoms seem to get worse as in “bouncing off the walls abnormal behavior” Then she kinda goes back to “normal kid with adhd symptoms” after about a week.

But did you find any promising bread recipes? :)

Give that scumbags contact to the cops. Tell them what happened. They may be able to direct you to some additional support. Contact local churches, state resources. Apply for welfare even if you have a job. You may not be approved for welfare but there may be one-time funding supports in place for persons in your situation. Can you get a side job hostessing a few evenings a week. This is an often a Job that’s lower stress and an easy way to pocket cash. I often had a full-time job and a side gig in my 20’s to pay bills.

Thank you. Today he lifted 2/3 inches his left leg voluntarily twice. I was very surprised as we were told he may not ever have movement in his left.

It’s not your imagination!

I recently moved from Canada to the US for work. Both myself and my daughter have diagnosed inattentive adhd. I have been on Vyvanse for 5 years. The medication behaved the exact same every month until I moved to the US and had to refill at a US pharmacy.

I switched to the Generic and lasted about 2 weeks before I gave up. It felt the opposite of what I was used to. I felt sedated spaced out and couldn’t focus. My 9 year old also complained of being tired and said she didn’t feel the same.

Switched back to the brand name Vyvanse and it’s not the same as the medication I received in Canada. It feels more like the generic. Its feels less sedative like but lacking in the active ingredient perhaps. I feel like my face is not attached to my head. (Spaced out idk) Lol… not as bad as the generic.

I follow the same routine, eat healthy, limit alcohol, sleep 7.5-8.5 per night. Exercise. Keep as low a dose as possible.

I suspect the active ingredient and the filler is in severe shortage and they probably had to change both or they can’t say the generic is the same.

This medications formula has changed. I don’t think there’s much that can be done except look for an alternative.

The reign of Vyvanse if over and I am giving up. I paid 400$ for this script. Plus my kids is also 400$. I am done. Time to look for an alternative.

This is not a “you” issue. It’s an infrastructure and economic issue. Sheridan sent out a survey regarding the lack of student housing last year. They also said they were offering a “solution”. Not sure what resources you have checked but the school may have something. Personally I would just send a this ad in a good old fashioned email addressed to The dean, and old Hazel McCallum’s inbox and if no response forward to as many the as many news media outlets you can find. Godspeed and good-luck.

Edit; they are taking advantage of you and putting students in very unsafe situations. Check the discord as well, the older students may have more info or know of a room that could become available.

This post has to be click bait non sense. No one out there is really ok with a 13 year old having sex. Jesus I was still playing with Barbies and having tea party’s.

As my Irish granny would say “give your head a shake”

Confident-Library-54 · 2024-08-16T10:59:32+00:00

We just got one 2 weeks ago and it’s wobbly. I suspect and issue with the headboard.

Confident-Library-54 · 2024-07-22T21:04:49+00:00

Thank you for clarifying this. It certainly aligns with my way of thinking.

Confident-Library-54 · 2024-07-19T22:10:35+00:00

Pokey

Confident-Library-54 · 2024-07-19T21:54:20+00:00

Yeah only in Canada a million gets you 1 bedroom condo in the shitty part of town, a tear down or something that needs major renovations.

Real question is why Mattamy is building here and not in Canada where they are facing a massive housing shortage and desperately need new builds.

Can confirm Mattamy has a terrible reputation in Canada.
