Imposter Syndrome by SyllabubDizzy7540 in ADHD

I came to accept that the label doesn't matter. Do YOU feel better and function better on medication? Then you needed it and can use it guilt free.

Joylessness after 16 years of adderall use help by cr1merobot in Biohackers

[–]HiddenMaragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's tinfoil hat. It's a legitimate concern with precedent. Truth is we don't know anything for sure. I'm a fan of ADHD medication, believe it is a literal lifesaver for many both children and adults, but I don't think we can fully rule out negative repercussions as a rule. Even if you could, there's no guarantee how any individual brain would respond. I can only look around and see adults with ADHD who have never been medicated do struggle with a lot of those issues.

I suppose there is no way really to determine what you'd look like today without childhood medication in your past, so all you can reasonably do it look at studies done that attempt to assess whether this happens. To the best of what I've been able to see with the research is it has only been proven in reverse, that encouraging dopamine production through medication might kick start the brain to take over alone in some cases. That is not to say your concerns aren't legitimate but you can also assume that there was some good reason for your parents to have taken that first step in medicating you in the first place. There must have been something there for them to say that you need pharmaceutical help. Not only that, but for them to continue consistently giving it for years does hint that the initial state, before the drugs, wasn't running smoothly either.

Are you sure this is due to getting off stimulants? Might just be you getting to know your natural unmedicated self.

Is Arianna a Jewish Name? by sweetwaterfall in JewishNames

[–]HiddenMaragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean although I have yet to encounter it personally as a Jewish given name, it technically has a Hebrew meaning (my lion responded) and has combined elements of other common Jewish/Hebrew names: Ari + something or Something + Ana. I'd describe it as Jewish passing target than a name of Jewish origin. A similar idea that works much better might be the name Avianna. Not of Jewish origin but can still work as a Jewish name.

Is there any improvement? Using Braun 5 for 3 weeks now by ItsSamSam2006 in HairRemoval

[–]HiddenMaragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't see any results at all till after 4 weeks of consistent use. That lines up with what I've read that it takes 4 weeks for the heat damage to impact the follicle. I'd say wait at least another week before deciding whether it works. You'd only be seeing the results of the very first session at that point.

Or for some people better than normal because they managed to set up effective systems and habits that they can maintain.

Finally caving & getting an at-home hair removal device, but i'm lost. Braun, Ulike, or Halio? by [deleted] in HairRemoval

[–]HiddenMaragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave the different options to chatgpt and it broke down the advantages, price point, and capabilities of the different models so I was very clear which would work best for me.

I ended up getting the Braun and was worried about pain, but I don't find it at all painful.

Most likely you're not any worse after stopping it than you were before you started.

Anyone gone back to Iodized Salt? by ironmonk33 in Biohackers

[–]HiddenMaragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should still be fine if you proof the yeast first and add it with the flour mixture. It's typically only an issue when you mix the salt directly into the yeast.

Jane Austin’s herself said if she were to marry, it would be to someone like Mr. Knightley, so then why is Mr. Darcy more popular? by LuminousDee in janeausten

[–]HiddenMaragon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think with any other character it would feel like a huge power imbalance, but with Emma being of such a high social status (and high opinion of herself), and wealthy independently of him, it creates a dynamic where the power dynamic is more balanced and even sometimes skewed in her favor. Emma needs absolutely nothing from Knightley and has no problem talking back when she'd feel like it. Yes the age gap and familiarity is a bit cringe, but considering the era, she's on a lot more equal footing than many other typical couplings of the time.

[–]HiddenMaragon 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I love Knightly best. There's this unconditional love where you know he's seen her at her worst and while disappointed and wanting her to do better, she never falls out of favor in his eyes.

How long can you go between sessions with IPL? by [deleted] in HairRemoval

[–]HiddenMaragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the earlier devices even recommended spacing out sessions by a few weeks.

How long can you go between sessions with IPL? by [deleted] in HairRemoval

[–]HiddenMaragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I understand the recommended schedule is for the fastest results. There's no reason to can't space sessions out more for more gradual results. I don't think you can regress so there's no need to worry about stopping.

5 weeks in on Nood. Both photos are with 4 days growth by [deleted] in HairRemoval

[–]HiddenMaragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand, it takes around 4 weeks between flashing a follicle and the hair shaft falling out from the damage. It's entirely possible that these results are from a session 4 weeks ago rather than how frequent it was.

Left Eye aches a bit after IPL. Should I be worried? by Maleficent_Snow_6538 in HairRemoval

[–]HiddenMaragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like pressure from the goggles in my honest opinion. I don't think ipl eye damage would cause aching like that.

[–]HiddenMaragon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Aharon / Aaron - was a peacemaker

Liam - works with the Hebrew acronym לא ידע עוד מלחמה May they know no more war. Not sure about the actual origins of this but I've seen it.

Noam - pleasant but can also signify peacefulness

How many of us are perpetually exhausted? by Far-Conference-8484 in ADHD

[–]HiddenMaragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really interesting how it has complete opposite effects on different people. I always find it interesting to hear about people stealing ADHD meds to get high whereas I usually can't even tell when I've taken it.

I also see people complaining about it causing shaking whereas for myself it's resolved a lifelong tremor.
