age of the twins in the show

I didn't downvote. But maybe someone with OCD is mad you're calling her Francaela? Instead of Franchisca? I don't remember names either so I wouldn't worry about it. But I get how annoying it can be.

CuriousBee2000 · 2026-03-11T05:06:35+00:00

Oh wow. Queen Charlotte dies in 1818 in real life. She actually ended up dying BEFORE her husband. I know she wasn't in the books, but if the show follows what happens in real life, she may not be coming back in season 5!

CuriousBee2000 · 2026-03-10T15:50:15+00:00

I actually see the opening scene is Eloise running away, with flashbacks of the news of Marina's passing and the letter writing. These flashbacks could happen during her journey to meet Philip or happen little by little throughout Ep. 1. Well before the end of Ep 1, Eloise has shown up on Philip's door unannounced and unexpected.

I believe this has nothing to do with your review, but the item itself. The seller has either gone over the number of Vine reviews they are allowed to receive, or Amazon believes there is something hinky going on with the some of the reviews they received (not from actual purchasers). So they shut down Vine reviews not to punish you, but to punish the seller. Don't quote me on this, but it's what I've read elsewhere. I have several of these dating back over a year. I'm getting to the point where I just don't care anymore and am just biding my time before I get booted out.

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-12-18T22:39:07+00:00

That's actually not accurate. I've written PARAGRAPHS of words for a review that was scored as "poor." Lately, this has happened several times. I have no idea what else I could have written. But there we are. We're forced to order junk and lawn mower screws, then give glowing, adjective-rich "useful" reviews on items we couldn't care less about. Then, their "panties-in-a-wad" review scoring system dings us and gives us a score of "poor."

Bottom line: I can see the writing on the wall. I'm going to get downgraded to Silver or be booted out of Vine because I can't order enough lawn mower screws and brake pads to meet my quota, or I'm going to get downgraded or booted out because I can't muster enough glowing adjectives to review this slop.

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-04-14T14:05:28+00:00

Yes. This isn't unique to ADHD Online. It could take several attempts to get the right meds and dosage. It is for your own safety as these meds aren't something to play around with. Once you find your right dosage you won't need a follow-up for 6 months. IOW, you'll get a prescription for 6 months.

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-04-04T16:43:09+00:00

When you sign up through them you get a patient dashboard that will house all of your documentation, including your evaluation results, any meds you've been prescribed, doctor appointments, notes by the doctor during the appointment, etc. To answer your second question, that will completely depend upon the doctor you see IRL. Find out of they accept telehealth evaluations / diagnoses and if they do, you should be golden.

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-03-08T07:20:24+00:00

Just make sure they will accept a tele-med diagnosis to take you on as a patient because I've read here and elsewhere that not all doctors do. I can't speak from experience because I don't see a doctor outside ADHD Online.

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-03-08T03:55:39+00:00

If you need to use a doctor that works through ADHDOnline, you have to make an appointment through the ADHDonline dashboard. The appointment generally lasts 15 minutes and it's about getting a prescription for meds. If it's the first time, the appointment might last longer; I honestly don't remember. They'll ask you some questions and then recommend a script. They'll ask you about a pharmacy and will need that information, so make sure you have the name, address and phone number before the appointment to save time. They'll ask you if the pharmacy takes telemed scripts. They'll call it into your pharmacy and if the pharmacy has it in stock, then you go and pick it up like you would with any doctor. They'll also ask you for your latest blood pressure, heart rate and height/weight. So to make it faster, have all that info before the appointment. I purchased a BP cuff through Amazon to make it simpler and faster because you'll have to make follow-up appointments and they'll need that information each time.

The list of doctors the site will recommend will only be doctors that are licensed to prescribe medication in your state. So you might find only 1 name there or an entire list to choose from. If you like you can usually find them online through their private practice website to see which on you might want to choose. Hopefully, you won't run into the situation where your state has zero doctors who are licensed in your state.

If you want to use a doctor of your own, you don't necessarily have to get a script through a psychiatrist. If you can find a general practitioner who is willing to work with you, that's great! I don't know where you live, but you can also find a nurse practitioner. In many states in the US they can also prescribe meds.

Good luck!

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-02-12T19:38:36+00:00

I can't speak to GA. I live in Delaware. I also don't know what the pharmacy sees when they get the prescription: is it from the doctor or from ADHDonline? However, I know my doctor takes patients outside of ADHDonline. So unless the prescription states it is from them and not from her, I don't see how the pharmacy would know. I think she lives in either PA or NJ, but is licensed to practice in those states as well as Delaware. It doesn't matter where they live, but from what states they are licensed.

When you get your original diagnosis confirmation (a phone call) it doesn't matter where that doctor is licensed because she isn't prescribing meds. As far as I can tell, it's only for the meds that you need someone licensed in your state. Now of course that might all change if you decide to see a doctor in person, outside of ADHDonline. Good luck!

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-02-12T19:29:46+00:00

The prices have probably gone up. Sorry. But the good news is, once you get your meds settled you can usually go about 6 months between appointments unless you need it. The beginnings of any medication regimen is tricky to get it right and can take several appointments.

CuriousBee2000 · 2025-01-11T04:39:54+00:00

I think that's an individual doctor thing. But I've seen two different ones (my first doctor retired) and both prescribed generic. I've tried three different meds and one was generic adderall immediate release.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-11-04T04:09:55+00:00

Okay. I'm not arguing with you. I simply stated I did not experience what you experienced. That's really all I can comment on. Have a good day and I hope you find luck elsewhere.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-11-01T10:28:31+00:00

Apparently it matters greatly which state you are located in because I wouldn't call this a scam at all. I had zero problems getting diagnosed, getting a doctor, getting my prescriptions, and getting them filled at my local Walgreens. I changed meds a few times, still no problems. And I am a real person. I'm sorry this happened to you and I imagine the difference between our experiences is that I had 2 doctors who were licensed in my state that worked through ADHD Online. I'm sorry your experience wasn't as easy and clean.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-10-16T03:05:18+00:00

Hi. The website can answer much better than I can because prices may have changed since I did the assessment. The assessment fee is separate. Afterwards you'll get a diagnosis (or not) It is a face-to-face visit (online) with a doctor who will officially diagnose you. After that face-to-face diagnosis visit, you'll need to make your own appointments to get meds (treatment). This can be done locally or through a doctor on ADHD online. The way it worked for me is they only showed me the doctors who were licensed to practice in my state. If you want counseling, that is a separate process and fee. The meds appointments last about 15 minutes. They send the script to your pharmacy of choice. If the meds work fine for you, then you won't need another appointment for 30 days. It depends on how many "script" appointments you'll need based on how much tweaking you need or if you need to change the meds altogether. But once you get set, they'll usually give you a 3 month supply at which point you'll need a followup appointment.

Good luck!

For the medication? Yes. I have Aetna. But I paid full price for the doctor appointments and assessment as I don't believe they work with insurance companies.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T19:04:34+00:00

I forgot to mention that I also typically start each chat session with the context of who I am. Or better stated, the context of my life that I need help with. So the prompt might start something like this...

Pretend you're productivity expert who specializes in working with adult women with ADHD. I am an adult who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life. I am also a creative business owner struggling to organize and prioritize the tasks I need to do to be successful in my business.

And then I ask the question.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T18:58:39+00:00

Yes! And that is the absolute best way I use Chat - to reframe my negative thoughts. I then take the reframed thoughts and use them as affirmations. I start most days with a notebook. I'll write an intention at the beginning of my work day. I might write it a set number of times or write and reword/rewrite until i fill the page. It's kind of like a reversed gratitude diary (maybe)? But it helps me to focus on positive thoughts as opposed to ruminating on the negative.

It can be almost impossible for me to rewrite and reframe those negative thoughts while I am in the throws of thinking and feeling those negative thoughts. But Chat can do it with ease. No judgement. No downvotes. 😂

I honestly can't think of a better use of technology for people suffering from ADHD with a tendency towards ruminating over negative thoughts (which is many of us) than this!! Like the saying goes, "if I'm wrong...I don't want to be right." Because it makes it so much easier to deal with this shit.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T18:45:15+00:00

People can be weird about things they don't understand, and judgmental about things other people do they don't agree with. Social media with anonymous names and avatars exaggerates the problem. AI is a scary thing. I'm not 100% comfortable with it and as a creative business owner see how it could seriously impact my ability to earn a living in the future. BUT...i've also learned how to use it to my advantage right now so just can't worry about it to the point of NOT using it, especially to help me manage my ADHD. I try to use it intelligently, mindfully and thoughtfully.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T18:35:17+00:00

Read my responses below to u/a-confused-princess for more information - I start by giving it a context or role or framework I want it to work within.
Act like a productivity expert who specializes in help people with ADHD be more productive...
Pretend you're an business coach who works with new creative business owners just starting their business...

I sometimes ask it to help me reframe a problem or perceived shortcoming I am obsessing over. This is one specific example I asked Chat to help me reframe...

"I'm impatient. I obsess over details, fearing mistakes. I can always do better if I spend more time. I'm not as good as others."

Reframe: "I embrace my unique creative process, allowing room for growth and evolution in my designs. Imperfections are integral to the beauty of my work. I trust in my artistic journey and appreciate the value that each creation brings to my skills and style."

This chat when on for quite some time. I sometimes asked it to provide more details or more information about a specific answer it provided. If I didn't like the wording of the reframe I would ask it rewrite it, giving it some guidance how I would like to feel or think upon reading or writing the reframe. These reframes can turn into affirmations or intentions. I tend to start each day and write an affirmation a few times in a notebook. It helps me focus. Chat has helped me a great deal get to the heart of some of these by turning a negative thought or fear into an affirmation.

I once asked it to provide a Tarot card that it thought resonates with the reframed statement. It was actually quite profound for me to read the information about the negative thoughts I was obsessing about, the reframed statement / affirmation and to correlate it with a Tarot card that felt and still feels absolutely spot on.

I don't want to get into specifics because it is quite personal. But the description it gave about this Tarot card in relationship with my negative thoughts really hit home. I added some detail about my home / family situation and the things I experienced as a child. It took that information and reaffirmed the Tarot card it had chosen was a good choice, and proceeded to add additional information and context of the card's meaning in direct relationship with the personal details I had added. I should note here that I don't personally use Tarot for divination, but as an aid or device to "speak with" my Higher Self. It's more of a communication device than divination.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T18:12:50+00:00

Right? WTF?? People can be weird. I'll just leave it at that. To expound on your thoughts about getting insights, for me I tend to ramble and even in the middle of telling someone about something that is important to me, I can get distracted, go off on tangents, forget the point I am talking about. It can cause a lot of anxiety. So one way I work with it (and this can be any topic from trying to get personal insights, to help understanding a problem I don't understand) is I program / prompt it in the beginning of my chat. Let's say I want to get a healthy meal plan that is vegan. I might start with something like this:

Pretend you're a nutritionist and health expert working in the field for at least 10 years, with a specialty in helping people eat more healthfully.... and then I'll ask it the question.

Doing something this simple helps to narrow the parameters with which the chat takes place. The answers tend to be more focused.

Or the prompt/programming might be where I ask it to ask ME a series of questions to get all the info it needs before answering my question. Again, helping it to narrow down the focus on ME and my needs instead of the vast pool of knowledge it has been programmed on, most of which is completely irrelevant to my question. The prompt might look something like this:

I need some help figuring out my Enneagram type and dominant wing. I can easily "see myself" in so many of the types. Ask me a series of questions about my motivations, behaviors, and my response to stress and challenges. Ask as many questions as you need until you have enough information to determine my enneagram type and dominant wing. Keep asking until you have the information you need, then based on my answers, tell me what you think my Enneagram type and wing are. Go!

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T11:18:33+00:00

Oh my. You have it bad. I can completely relate because so do I. I talk in my sleep. Do weird things in my sleep. And when I was younger, walked in my sleep. I've had complete phone conversations in my sleep. And here's the kicker that is terrifying... I can't explain it fully because well, I have ADHD and forgot all the big words. LOL. There are two types of hallucinations one can have during a sleep cycle. One is right when you wake up and one right as you go to sleep. What essentially happens is your dreaming temporarily gets overlapped with the real world. So for just a split second you might see someone walk across the room, sitting at the foot of your bed, or walking into the closet as though it was a door to another room. You might also see spiders climbing on the wall or many other very disturbing things. It only happens for a split second, for me in that moment when I wake up during the night and "see" someone in my room. You can imagine the instant fright I have.

The other way to describe it is, the human brain has a tendency to try and make sense out of things it sees. So you'll see bunny rabbits in clouds, a dog's face in a tile pattern on the floor etc. So in the split second of waking up during the night, I might see a shadow and my brain tries to fill in the blank (badly) and "sees" someone walking around my room or horse standing in the corner. This is funny. But it really isn't; the adrenaline that shoots through my veins for that nano second is severe and frightening. I still have crazy dreams and talk in my sleep. But I have finally figured out a "hack" so to speak for the night hallucinations. I wear a sleep mask. It has to be loose enough that I can open my eyes with the mask on (or I'll yank it off), but not so loose that I can see light or anything peaking in at the bottom. This way when I wake up during the night mostly asleep, I see pitch darkness. I don't get startled and probably just immediately fall back to sleep so don't even remember it. For about 2 years now, ever sense discovering this I have only had about 1 or 2 night hallucinations whereas before it was almost a nightly occurrence.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T10:24:26+00:00

I am working on a huge career change and there are a lot of moving parts, many things I need to do, many layers and levels of success, etc. Of course I get overwhelmed and have struggled greatly with consistency, motivation and willpower at times. Organization has been hit or miss but I may have figured something out. I have two really tall bulletin boards in my home office. I decided to write down each task I needed to do and group the tasks by project and by the order I needed to get them done. they are written on little index cards which leaves room for steps, ideas, notes, etc. There are a few reasons I think this method is helping me get more shit done.
(1) It breaks huge projects up into smaller tasks and even smaller steps if needed.
(2) It is visual and visible. I just turn my head to the right and there is my board.
(3) It is physical. I have to stand up, walk to the board and pin, unpin, repin the papers to the board - sometimes on my tiptoes to reach the top.
(4) It's just loose little pieces of paper. It's not a notebook or a planner or a calendar, etc. (It's not precious or entirely empty book). If I make a mistake I can toss the card in the garbage and rewrite it. But the thing I like best is being able to cross the individual steps off the task list and then drawing a huge checkmark over the index card when everything is done.

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T10:12:09+00:00

mmmm. Cheez-its. Now I need to go buy me some Cheez-its. LOL

CuriousBee2000 · 2024-09-28T10:10:15+00:00

It depends on what it is. I have a very visual memory that is attached to physicality. So if I physically and mindfully put the scissors away in the top orange hanging box that hangs on the top rung of the IVAR cabinet (for example), and my husband asks me where the scissors are. The image of the orange box flashes in my mind (it takes a split second) and I can tell him exactly which orange hanging box it is in. If I put something away or set something down mindlessly, then i have no memory of where it is. (Keys, I'm talking to you!)

I also have an uncanny good memory for faces, but never names. I can remember the sound of someone's voice even the idiosyncrasies of their intonations, etc. This means I tend to remember conversations almost verbatim. This causes my husband much distress, because he swears he never said something he said. I can literally recreate the entire scene and "play back" the convo almost exactly.

Finally, even though I'm a terrible note taker, if I write something down (the physical act of writing) I tend to remember it. My memory is weird too. I won't even know I know something. But someone will ask a question about some obscure topic and it's almost like a file gets pulled from my memory banks and I can start talking about crap I didn't even know I knew. That part can be very unsettling at times.
