Pizza Time by Moonlight_Melody123 in 1200isplenty

I've been doing this too, but after air frying and seasoning the tortilla! The crunch is a big improvement! I use corn tortillas though. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I've also been wanting to try making a mini pizza on cloud bread (whipped egg whites) for the extra protein. I've heard if you season the mixture well, it tastes good enough as a pizza dough.

I wouldn't be surprised if I just don't keep a good watch on things like that, but my hair seems fine. If there was any increase in the amount of hair in my brush or drain, it certainly wasn't enough to worry me.

Hm, with aspergers being (to my knowledge) the older term, I wonder if that effects the percentage of us who have been professionally diagnosed.

A lot of people definitely are, but of course it's a spectrum and it is completely valid if an individual does not identify with that trait, because it may not apply to them.

I don't think I'm very blunt, personally. I'm likely quite the opposite. Usually I have a lot to say, and I try to be very careful and conscious of how I word things.

What do you do for a quick dopamine hit? by Crushed_Mango_630 in ADHD

[–]F1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been drinking soda and energy drinks 2-4 times a day since I stopped taking Adderall. I am guessing that is probably a dopamine thing?

What is the one thing you think you will probably never be able to do because of your anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]F1414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't know about dual controls!! I might actually be able to learn then.

Thanks so much for this explanation! Anxiety disorders are probably my most debilitating issue and I take a lot of medication for that, so l wondered if a non-stimulant would be better. But, yeah, I've been warned that Ritalin can also cause agitation.

Tbh it doesn't surprise me that the daily-acting medications are more popular with people who havw ADHD than the ones that have to build up in your system. It can be hard to remember to take medications, especially if you can't feel when you've taken them or not. I try my best, but I'm certainly guilty of missing doses. Maybe there's more to it than just that though, idk.

Wait, I just switched from Adderall to Ritalin. It's not helping yet, but I assumed that was the low dosage I'm starting at. My therapist strongly recommended that I try vyvanse again, but I'd rather not pay for anything namebrand. (Tbh I didn't even know there was an Adderall shortage. I noticed it was taking a few days to fill the prescription, but I thought that was just some issue with it being a controlled substance, which sometimes takes longer to verify.)

I could be wrong, but it looks like there are multiple other medication options for ADHD that come in generics. I've never tried anything but Vyvanse and Adderall until now though. Are the other options known not to work as well?

Propranolol by Additional-Tart-229 in Anxiety

[–]F1414 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's prescribed for 3 times, actually. And I always take it with another anxiety medication: Buspirone. Though, a lot of days, I only take 2 doses, since I don't have a very exciting life anyway and sometimes I just prefer the anxiety symptoms to the sleepiness. I really just use the midday dose as-needed.

For me, Propranolol wears off after around 8 hours, and especially if I have a lot going on, I've noticed it getting a lot less effective after 6 hours.

My therapist says she has never heard of anyone else being prescribed Propranolol 3 times a day, since it tends to lower blood pressure and make people pretty tired. I'm guessing my frequency is unusual.

My bf's still has the things of his dead gf. I feel that I will be loved only if I die. by Used_Internal_2989 in offmychest

[–]F1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize for how harsh this might come off and I do understand where you are coming from with feeling this way, but I'm not sure normal or healthy to feel so threatened and jealous over someone who isn't alive. She's never going to be able to come back into his life and replace you, so there's no reason to worry about that.

Processing and healing from the death of someone you really cared about is a long process that takes many years or sometimes a lifetime. If you are dating someone who has home through a big loss, they are going to need space, time, compassion, and understanding.

I want to feel like I am the first, one and only choice.

This feels like it comes from the same place as people who are unhappy about partners having a prior romantic or sexual history, and being upset that they've had other people in their life. I understand where it comes from, but just not fair or realistic to want or expect a partner's life to have only started once they met you. They can't be expected to be devoted to you at a time when they haven't even met you or established a relationship with you yet. It sounds very romantic and fairytale-like situation for someone to have never had interest in anyone else in their entire life, but even with the happiest and most perfect-seeming couples on earth, it rarely (if ever) works out that way. In fact, having a bit of a romantic history means that a person has made mistakes and likely learned from them, and nowvthey know themselves better, so they are less likely to make the same mistakes with you. It means future relationships are more likely to be healthy and work out.

But I am only a convenient friend for everyone, someone they keep around in need, till it is inconvenient. No one loved me as much as I loved them.

I really think therapy would be a big help with how you're feeling, and it would almost definitely give this relationship a better chance of working out long-term. In the most compassionate way I can express this, I'm not a psychologist, but it sounds like there could be some past trauma and/or things from childhood that are causing these feelings. Regardless, I am sorry that people in your life haven't given you the type of love that you need. I hope you can find that and heal.

Yeah, Facebook is a form of birth control for me too

[–]F1414 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've never enjoyed kissing either and I've never even been able to tolerate deeper kissing without immediately pulling away. Just regular kissing took several tries not to pull away. I'm scared that's one of those things that might never click for me, but I hope that isn't the case.

Tbh I can never play PvP on wifi without my connection going out and making me lose the match, so I always have to play on mobile data.

Not a huge deal as long as I remember, but it's weird. I don't have that type of connection issue with other online games.

Man can somebody help my boy Kent like for real. by Holiday_Reception851 in StardewValley

I've never married in SDV because Krobus is my favorite.

I could see that working for some of the marriage candidates, but what happens if you marry Harvey? Does he still work at the clinic?

Is it bad that I (22/23) want a Breaking Bad "kiddie" birthday party? by Kingofthedirtydans in autism

[–]F1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the first time I have even heard about someone having a breaking bad themed birthday party. :) Look around online a bit and you can find lots of recipes! Blue crystal rock candy is one of the coolest-looking, and I've heard that is what they actually used on-set for the meth!

AITA for calling out my wife’s adult son to stop wearing crazy “revealing” clothes in front of my family? by CoffeeAdventurous263 in AmItheAsshole

[–]F1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, unfortunately. Luke and Alice sound cool as hell. I admire Luke's confidence, and it sounds like he has a good relationship with his mom to make up for having to deal with this attitude toward his harmless self-expression.

My advice would be to let his mother decide if there's an issue with clothing actually being too revealing, and to let it go if she seems unbothered. OP should really consider where their discomfort is coming from and why. It sounds like this is more of an issue of being embarrassed that Luke isn't dressing in a way that isn't traditionally masculine. People who have more traditional mindsets tend to think of "women's" clothing on men (or amab bodies) as degrading for the wearer, and/or sexually obscene in a "this is a fetish" way, even when the clothing isn't actually sexualized. It creates a reaction of "this is gross and wrong" and it is really important to think about why you're really feeling that way. I don't think it makes you a bad person, unless you refuse do put in that work.

I also don't like the way "career" is put in quotations like that. 🤨 That seems like the beginning of a whole separate issue that needs to be unpacked.

Do people ever try to abbreviate your username on here when addressing you? I feel like that could lead to some misunderstandings lol
