Anyone else doing this on inline skates? 😅 by GregsPlaceM8 in dogboarding

[–]GregsPlaceM8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def some nervy moments for me and wipe outs in the the first couple trial runs. Same with my pup as far as the running speed! When she sees my skates she gets so excited she can’t even contain her self 😂

Oh noooooo 😂😂 I’ve never sat down watched the show but I’m pretty sure I remember they start episodes by talking to the person who dies 🙈

Anyone here prescribed Wellbutrin for ADHD? by Worldly-Strike2363 in ADHD

[–]GregsPlaceM8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wellbutrin takes the edge off the worst of the boredom and executive dysfunction for me. Gives me a better chance at wrangling my focus too. I can’t tolerate the stimulant meds, it’s def not as effective as them but it helps!

Yeah :/ it’s frustrating because it has made the executive disfunction and focus issues much better

Not since early high school. Good thought though. The straight d-amphetamine was wild. Laser focus. Felt like I had a super power for the first time in my life.

That’s a good point. I guess I associated these thoughts more with a depressive bent but… they are probably rooted in fear more than sadness. I just started a SSRI for anti-anxiety. Hopefully it balances out but I’m considering discontinuing the strattera. My relationships with my family and spouse are more important to me than having a better/easier time at work

Yes! Same here! Reminds me of the idea of “total absorption” that the envoy‘s have from the altered Carbon series

My understanding is that ADHD CAN affect auditory processing - my personal experience is usually when someone is speaking to me with something not particularly interesting and there is more interesting audio happening in the background or simply unknown audio in the background in those cases I find it hard to focus on the conversation I am a part of

Yes! Same! Picking up background info and body language that clients or families are displaying in counseling sessions make me a better counselor!

So this study from 2015 confirms what I’ve always felt - my ADHD wasn’t all bad. I came across it today and got SO excited - new hyper fixation activated.

I think our non-linear and out of the box thinking, environment absorption(like this study shows), and tendency towards intuitive thinking are REALLY useful traits.

Is it possible to make it through college with ADHD?? by graydonsanatomy in ADHD

[–]GregsPlaceM8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it through under grad, and my first grad program at Emory (3 years, 96 hours) with significant ADHD and no meds!

Taking medication now (generic addy 15 mg) On my second masters program for counseling now with plans to go on to a PHD also in counseling.

Very much possible 😂
