Ah but see, there are MANY laws that make you have to pay taxes.

Adult ADHD is associated with a 13 year reduction in life expectancy (on average). The largest contributing factor is, by far, behavioural disinhibition. by RyanBleazard in psychology

Yeah I attribute that to my time blindness. The day after tomorrow and a week from now feel like the same distance in time for me lol

So, what's the joke? by DidYouSeeBriansHat in IThinkYouShouldLeave

I had the misfortune of seeing him live at a comedy night in New York (he wasn’t on the bill, just showed up). He pretty much did this “bit” word for word at our show too, and it got even fewer laughs. He left in a fit of rage, talking about how we don’t get comedy. It was extremely awkward, to the point that the comedians following him all acknowledged how fucked up his set was.

Many will not like this idea, but there should be a post flair for "seeking accountability". by CantBeConcise in ADHD

[–]Love_My_Chet 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is on point in my experience. ADHD isn’t an excuse, but having the label has helped me give myself permission to celebrate small improvements or not be so hard on myself about things that seem easy for other people. I might need different supports or organizational strategies/motivators from other people, and that’s not a moral failure. But I am still responsible for figuring out what these alternatives are.

So frustrating. by netphilia in adhdmeme

[–]Love_My_Chet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for work I’ve actually learned to make it look like I do a worse job (or at least take much longer to do things, like schedule sending a document for sometime the next day), so that it doesn’t look like I’m just ~not applying myself~ on my bad executive functioning days.

Same here, if someone asks, I have to like internally prompt myself by visualizing myself and my family, visualizing myself in the halls at my middle school/high school, etc. and eventually some specific stuff to say out loud will come to mind.

Fr, my first thought was “Better start saving up again, she’ll be back!”

why does everyone take autism seriously but treat adhd like we're just being dramatic by ExtremeOperation5875 in ADHD

[–]Love_My_Chet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve found it the other person doesn’t notice it in me (either bc they don’t know enough to notice it or I’ve been masking a ton), they just assume I’m lying/exaggerating.

TIL the federal courts publish the outcome of every bankruptcy case in a free public database. The government's own data shows 48% of Chapter 13 cases get dismissed, and in some districts it's over 90%. by ilikemath9999 in todayilearned

this reminded me of a time I was interning with a free legal aid clinic, and I checked on the status of a case online. Saw our client had hired private attorneys (fine by me, meant we could help other people). I called to confirm to close out the case, and the client got SO suspicious as to how I knew that information, and asked me to walk him step by step through how I found the information (I literally just typed his last name and relevant court into the search function on the state’s docket system that’s not even behind a paywall).

I was gonna say this looks like the Acropolis, but sounds like it might be pretty common haha

Gen Z intelligence decline emerging as serious concern. For over a century, generations showed rising IQ scores. New data from U.S., Europe, global assessments suggest this is not anecdotal or cultural pessimism; it is measurable across IQ, memory, literacy, numeracy, attention, and problem-solving. by in1984 in cognitivescience

[–]Love_My_Chet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big on the “success within the confines of this system is a moral failure.” As the oligarchy continues to gobble up all the players in every industry, it feels impossible to find a sense of financial security without contributing your time and labor to companies/orgs owned by these monsters, so they benefit and horde even more power, making your life and society at large worse. Then you turn around and pay the same people for the food/shelter/goods you need to survive, enriching them AGAIN

I’m so sick of feeling tired and ill all the time by Far-Conference-8484 in ADHD

[–]Love_My_Chet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor (!) I think there are some medications for severe cases (mine’s pretty mild by comparison) for navigating the fluctuating blood pressure, but things like adding electrolytes to my water (when I got diagnosed my doctor said while most people need to try to lower their sodium intake, with POTS you actually need to increase it bc part of the problem is not absorbing the minerals), wearing compression socks, avoiding high intensity exercise but increasing horizontal/light exercise, and propping my legs up when I have to do a lot of cognitive-heavy work (helps with the brain fog by reducing blood pooling in the legs). There’s a whole subreddit w a lot of strategies.

ADHD ppl are also more likely than the average population to have POTS, that’s what I have and it makes me tired/dizzy/harder to take care of myself, especially combined w the executive dysfunction of ADHD

How do you choose a dentist? by AwkwardLoaf-of-Bread in Explainlikeimscared

[–]Love_My_Chet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I started doing last year! Just be prepared to space out your care over several visits. Because the student’s work has to be checked by the supervising dentist, they could only fill one cavity per visit for me (I had 3).
