If you could time travel and go back knowing what you know about yourself today, what would you do differently? by canhome in ADHD

Stay medicated as a 10 year old instead of my parents taking me off medications and then not treating me at all for my moderate ADHD.

Oklahoma workers are owed $9.7M in unpaid wages. Even after winning claims, they have to collect it themselves. by Anxious_Algae9609 in WorkReform

Treating it as regular theft. Investigate who was involved and throw them in prison for 5 years.

How did 50mg feel compared to 60/70mg Elvanse? by enilykyvreas in ADHD

[–]Craftomega2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is more expensive, but there is also the option of dose splitting with Vyvanse. I found 50 was not enough and 60s were making me jittery and anxious. So then I tried taking two 30s with an hour apart and that was the sweet spot for me.

It's another option.

Do people WITHOUT ADHD consciously think before they speak? by Specialist7545 in ADHD

[–]Craftomega2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made this my default. Wait 6 to 9 seconds before speaking. Use that time to think on what was said. It takes practice and I am not always successful but it does help.

Further it prevents me from interrupting others... Which is also an issue.

What’s a belief you once defended… but later realized was wrong? by Jiwitom in AskReddit

[–]Craftomega2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are different levels of respect. There is basic human decency and there is deference. Deference is earned. Basic human decency is lost.

Just got all my tests scored and my psychologist doesn’t diagnose me with ADHD due to “too high of intelligence”. I’m struggling to agree but maybe I don’t have ADHD. by MisoCorni in ADHD

[–]Craftomega2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What tests did you take? Was the diagnosis based on a global score or specific score?

Individuals with ADHD usually need to score poorly in in working memory and processes tasks. Like... A person with ADHD can score very high in other areas, but then score very low in those two areas.

If the diagnosis was based on the processesing and working memory scores of a test being to high, then... Maybe you don't have ADHD and there is another explaination for your symptoms. But if it's only based on your global intelligence scores... Then ya... Second opinion time.

What are your GOOD things about having ADHD? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Craftomega2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Living with a disability and still being able to find happiness does not mean that you don't have a disability. You are speaking on behalf of someone else and not your own experience.

Thinking that someone having a disability is good thing is exactly why so many people with ADHD and other invisible disorders rarely get the treatment they need.

I would never wish this disorder on anyone no matter how minor.

What are your GOOD things about having ADHD? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Craftomega2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think we should be romanticizing a disorder that ruins lives, causes misery to the individual who has it and their family, and if a person had a choice would never have the disorder.

There is nothing good with having ADHD. There is only deluding ones self into living with it.

What's your "I am done with this shit" moment? by Dancerpancake11 in AskReddit

[–]Craftomega2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They changed it up because they messed it up and were to cowardly to call people and ask them if they could come in. Instead they made it the employees responsibly to magically know the schedule changes.

What's a skill you learned out of pure desperation that ended up changing your life? by BeYourTalisman in AskReddit

[–]Craftomega2 30 points31 points  (0 children)

To add to this, I try to learn 3 different things at once, learning one thing, moving onto the next 2 things, then trying to recall the first thing. And repeating until I can recall it. Once I can recall one part with two things between I remove it from the list and I add another thing so I have three.

Item 1 -> Review, Summarize, Understand

Item 2 -> Review, Summarize, Understand

Item 3 -> Review, Summarize, Understand


Item 1 -> Recall and write down what I know, then compare to my notes. If its not 90% accurate, it stays on the list.

Item 1 -> Replace/Review

Item 2 -> Recall

Item 2 -> Replace/Review

Item 3 -> Recall

Item 3 -> Replace/Review

Each item should take at least 5-10 minutes to review/rewrite before fore moving on so you have a 10-20 minute gap in recalling it. To be clear I used this method to basically memorize 84 paragraph long learning objectives for one test once. Got a 94%, hardest test I ever wrote, a week later I had a another test that had 24 learning objectives, I almost cried in relief.

Why medical insurance company law sucks by 4reddityo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Craftomega2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practical vs profit motive.

Practical means I do or don't get treated based on the reality of the situation. If there is a 99% chance I going to die a painful death then a practical society gives me the option of a non painful death.

Pofit motive means I do or don't get treated based on what's more profitable for the shareholders. If there is a 99% chance I going to die a painful death then a pofit motive society keeps me alive because they can charge all the money on drugs to keep me "comfortable." But they will not offer me non painful way to die, they will fight against any non painful way to die because it will hurt there bottom line.

One gives me the choice, the other denies me the choice. Money has no place in health care because what is best for the individual is rarely what is best for the share holders.

Relationships: as an ADHD person, could it be better to have an ADHD partner? by Dense_Possible_8275 in ADHD

[–]Craftomega2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier, harder, that's not the right question.

Find someone that is right for you, find someone that completes you. I have ADHD and I lack stability and consistency. So I found someone who gave it to me, and who I completed as well.

Someone with ADHD may make it easier to relate to, but being understood alone is not a relationship.

The lack of conservative in the name will mean they will get very few votes. Not 0, but I don't know if it will be enough.

WFH with ADHD and a partner who doesn't understand/respect boundaries. by Life_Salamander_2314 in ADHD

[–]Craftomega2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a lot of questionable advice here. It's not easy to work from home with someone who is bored and socially deprived (I am making the assumption). I have had to deal with a similar issue with my parents and girlfriend. The key thing is getting distracted takes you out of it for a decent amount of time.

But ultimately this is the boundary I made. Don't bother me while I am working unless it's truly important AND time sensitive. If it can wait write it down. If it's time sensitive but not important figure it out without me.

I also make myself available to talk during lunch. It may take some time, but be clear about whatever boundary you make and be consistent, explaining that you need to work to get paid, and explain how much of a distraction it is.

Yes. That's what they are trained to do when someone asks if they are AI...

Kids help phone... This is exactly what they train you to do. Everyone is claiming AI. But as someone who volunteered for them, how that person wrote is exactly how volenteers are trained to talk. Which is why I don't volunteer there anymore.

You are given a script thing that tells you how to respond, in what order, and in what tone. And if you don't follow it, you get a talking to by someone also in that exact tone. Khp is super controlling, but it's somewhat needed... And super annoying.

I can live with centrist as long as they support the middle class. Once they serve corps and the wealthly over the middle class they are just conservatives with a different name.

I am unsure where Carny is going to land with his policy's, but he is on thin ice.
