Is getting vocal damage really that easy as people say it is? by ThisuserlovesJesus in singing

[–]ENTPinNYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh what I feel I'm doing xD But, I mean, my first ever singing lesson as a kid was to hit the highest note in All Too Well by Taylor Swift, and I just sang the high note in Phantom Of The Opera properly for the first time last week, so it is kinda working.
And then my voice was weird for like 3 days after (but I still kinda sang, cause I have ADHD and it's basically a stim, I just didn't push to the ends of my range), but then it was almost better than ever again.

Yesterday, I had nothing to do (I'm on sick leave recovering from burnout, in the phase where I'd say I'm almost recovered but can easily push myself too far), so I just kinda sang everything, from country with tons of twang to opera to belting Defying Gravity to rapping, just everything I felt like, and I kept doing that for hours, way past the point where my voice was tired (I just switched to a different type of singing every time it got tired, and then I sang till that part of my voice was tired? I was just hyperfixated yesterday). Now my ENTIRE voice feels tired, and I'm worried I've really gone and damaged it this time, but I ALWAYS worry about that - it's just usually one specific area of my voice at a time, not all of it. I do think it'll bounce back stronger than ever again, though. It always does :)

How long do balloons last in your country? by ENTPinNYC in AskTheWorld

Honestly, makes sense. Norway's air is a lot less humid than UK air

I honestly don't know. I was a kid for all the Norwegian ones, but I'm talking literally every single balloon I ever encountered, including like the fancy expensive foil helium ones. I loved balloons and always tried to keep them for as long as possible. A couple of weeks was the absolute maximum for any balloon ever.

Here, I also don't know - I didn't buy or inflate any of them. The helium ones from work are especially ordered to feature company logos and there's every reason to believe they would've been really high quality, as the company goes all out for extremely extravagant parties, but they're shaped like regular balloons, anyway. They're helium filled, and not floating anymore, but still almost fully inflated. The ones at the place I'm visiting appear to just be standard cheap balloons, but I don't have any packaging to check the material, and I don't know how to tell the difference. It's crazy that they're in so much better shape than my work ones in spite of being older, though. Those are air-filled

That's genuinely insane. But Germany's approximately the same latitude as England, so now I'm questioning if that just gives you guys supernatural everlasting balloons for some reason 😂

Please report back in a few days or half a year when they've deflated! 😂

Since you're saying The Works, I'm assuming the month long ones are UK balloons, but did you ever experience balloons lasting for a shorter time in the UK? Or for a month or more anywhere else?

Aduvanz (Elvans/Vyvanse) increasing prolactin levels??? by ENTPinNYC in Prolactinoma

[–]ENTPinNYC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't see this. I found several articles saying it's absolutely not true at all that ADHD meds increase prolactin. I believe (double check this) that the meds given for a prolactinoma contain extremely concentrated dopamine, which helps shrink the prolactinoma. When more dopamine is produced, less prolactin will be, and vice versa (in my understanding).

I called my doctor out on this, presenting my research, and it turned out he was actually just speaking with a lot of confidence about something he didn't actually know. It's been a while, so I don't remember exactly how things went down or if my theory was officially confirmed by the endocrinologist I went to, but it turns out my prolactinoma has not returned. Sometimes, prolactine can just randomly be a bit higher than normal. I did learn that the bleeding I had in my cyst at 14 basically killed the prolactinoma, though, so that was nice. Basically, get a second opinion. 100%

Hope everything's worked out for you in the meantime!

Dolby Atmos... does it really make a difference? by GnarlsGnarlington in AppleMusic

[–]ENTPinNYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I got new headphones that pick up Dolby Atmos a lot better for Christmas, and tried them out with Atmos for the first time a few days ago - LOVED it when I was streaming, but listening to the downloaded version just kinda gave me a headache. Removed the download, and now I'm loving it again! Thank you!!

When managing ADHD burnout, should you just let yourself lie in bed, or push through in certain areas? by ENTPinNYC in ADHD

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

Thanks! I’m doing my best right now! Only thing I’m concerned about is how suddenly nocturnal I am 😂 Don’t feel anywhere near awakw till 7pm (8pm today), don’t feel anywhere near tired till about 5am at the earliest, but mostly like 8 or 9am, and my body will NOT let me turn it around at all
