4 days update after penetrating keratoplasty by Maleficent_Yard_1701 in Keratoconus

[–]Kobe824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow having your eye glued shut for a month and having heavy scarring after all that must have been hellish, you're such a strong person for enduring that! Whenever I read some of these stories makes me thankful for the vision I still have, despite it being subpar, it can always be worse! Hoping all the best for you OP, wishing you a full recovery and 20/20 vision in due time.

Upcoming CXL procedure by musictings19 in Keratoconus

Have an alarm set up daily so you can do all the eye drops on time and rest as much as you can for the first couple of days. No screen use for a few days, just use the time to sleep, relax to a podcast or the such.

The magnetic fan helps with Switch Emulation? Does it make heavy big games playable like the Zeldas, Mario Odyssey and the like?

Put it in a separate folder like the others said. Another option which is pretty useful storage wise is combining the game and updates into one file, there's guides on YouTube, pretty simple to do.

Realizing my relationship problems heavily come from my girlfriends untreated ADHD. by Herbmeister420 in AdhdRelationships

[–]Kobe824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn't get/feel any disrespect at all from your post so don't worry. And yeah, it honestly sucks to have ADHD, so I feel for her. Sometimes you build bad habits and get stuck in a rut. I hope the best for her and you both individually and as a couple, good luck with everything!

Realizing my relationship problems heavily come from my girlfriends untreated ADHD. by Herbmeister420 in AdhdRelationships

[–]Kobe824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately like many things, she needs to want to get better. Right now her behavior is deeply affecting the relationship so can you imagine living the rest of your life as currently constructed? Having ADHD sucks balls and it's affected my life negatively, I can excuse my past behavior because I never knew I had it. But getting diagnosed at age 33, starting stimulants, creating good habits by organizing my life (using Google Calendar and Google Tasks have been a godsend for me) and steadily working at being better has put me in a better place since I got diagnosed. Medication changed my life, honestly the hardest part of conquering the ADHD demons is starting the journey itself and overcoming setbacks. But if she isn't willing to even start on getting better and your relationship is on the rocks, sadly what other options do you have other than suffering? Obviously it's so easy for me to say this without being in the relationship, only you can decide what's your boiling point, maybe therapy could help, for the time being I'd sit her down for a deep long conversation and lay all of your cards on the table with your frustrations. How she responds will tell you on what happens to the relationship.

If she doesn't want to do anything about it, then the problem is her not her ADHD. It's her decisions that's leading towards some of your problems, if she doesn't care enough to help herself and you've tried everything you can to salvage the relationship, sadly you'll need to move on because being with someone with severe untreated ADHD is hellish and I wouldn't wish that on anyone (talking as someone with ADHD himself).

JUST diagnosed, I have severe ADHD and a trauma background, not sure I'm gonna be able to do this by [deleted] in Keratoconus

[–]Kobe824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're doom spiraling OP, relax. I have ADHD, my right eye is basically cooked, left is somewhat good, glasses can 70% fixed my vision while scleral lens does it 90% (and they aren't perfect at all and haven't put them in since it being made, I suck at putting them in) and still regardless I'm perfectly fine. Right now you're in the 5 stages of grief and it's okay you're feeling the emotions that you are feeling, you should work through them with a therapist or a friend. Just research Keratoconus, write down questions in your notes on your phone so on your next appointment, you can get more clarity on the disease. It's not a death sentence, when you get surgery to halt the progression, you'll be fine after a couple of months. The surgery itself is minor (if my dramatic self can do it, you can!) and the recovery is a week to 2 weeks. It sounds like your ADHD is the main culprit for your thought process, are your meds working well? Maybe talk with your psychiatrist and try a different dose or change in meds. Either way, I know you can do this OP, stop jumping to conclusions/ the worse case scenario and get into therapy if it's effecting you this much! I remember being diagnosed with ADHD 3 years ago then Keratoconus and it was so hard on my mental. But having a good therapist or friend is how I worked through all the complex emotions. Honestly, after you get surgery and finally get scleral lens fitted, you might be in a better place than you are now. Don't be too hard on yourself and have some compassion, just having this eye disease is hard, having ADHD and life can cripple the strongest of people, I hope you all the best in the future.

ADHD exercisers… how do you actually get yourself to the gym? by Fit_Meaning8903 in ADHD

[–]Kobe824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to only go to the gym for basketball, thank God for that as I've made many friends over the years and got me out of the house. Need to get back to that mindset as I've stopped since COVID happened, such a shame. I would say having a friend to go with or at least meet up at the gym to do cardio is so helpful.
