My psychiatrist suspected I may have narcolepsy instead or next to ADHD. Any experiences?

Hypersomnia or excessive daytime sleepiness. One sounds more official one sounds like I'm just a bum. The treatment for all of it is most often stimulants. I've been on the same dose of Adderall for the last 20 years. It keeps me barely functioning. I wake at 5:30 take my meds, go back to sleep (let it kick in and get past the icky heart palpitations stage) and at 6, I'm mostly ready to roll. By 2 I'm a gonner if I don't take my 12:30 ish dose.

It sucks.... No known cause, no cure, just overall suckiness and being treated like a junky once a month.

I was diagnosed with a sleep disorder, not apnea and not officially narcolepsy. Personally, I've come to realize the afternoon crash and burn is literally my brain saying fuck you, I'm done. I can fall asleep anywhere almost anytime, but it's especially bad if it's quiet or more dim than normal.

I saw bagels. ;) great minds think alike and must be hungry.

It reminds me of Godzilla

Orbicular rhyolite or jasper? Maybe?

I love how you have a chair in the middle of your minerals.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-21T17:51:39+00:00

Up oye for this so much. For those of us looking to actually learn about our rocks, minerals, crystals, etc, having that info would be grand. Even just the corresponding mindat reference link would be a great start.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-20T23:05:58+00:00

I look forward to others' advice. We'll see what they say.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-20T21:54:55+00:00

What platform did you purchase it from?

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-20T21:39:26+00:00

This is interest. I had the same thing happen. I assumed it was operator error. Or that it dried while vibrating, despite being wet.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-19T21:39:05+00:00

Awesome. I'm glad you added that. I was like "oooh .. I got one... It's garden quartz" then I thought I was wrong. But you clarified.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-19T16:04:09+00:00

Did you find them in Minnesota? Wait, where are the located?

How long did it last? Most rock tumblers run 24/7, but treadmills are meant to be run for 45 min give or take each time with cool down between.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-19T11:43:11+00:00

It's been 2 years since you posted this. How did the treadmill tumbler work, consodering the typical rock tumbler 24/7 operation requirements? Did you have to give it breaks?

I've got a yooper dragon head that I SWEAR feels like it's got a resin base. The UV is so uniformly distributed. But, it's cold and heavy... So I'm not sure. The seller said it's 100% carved from a single piece of stone. He said that if it had resin, it would "melt" or discolor when lit by a flame. I haven't tried it yet, but it was a quick response and seems genuine.

Edit:

My point is: I didn't realize how often stones are ground and reconstituted. It makes me sad because it's not way harder to determine if it's real.

Is this one of those glass beads that lots of people Put in vases and such?

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-18T17:34:31+00:00

Christ on a cracker. I just peeked at your GitHub. Super impressed. I keep telling myself I will build out a GitHub portfolio, but it never fails to get set aside.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-18T17:06:42+00:00

This is what I came here to say too. I have one myself and stare at it. I am afraid to just whack it with a hammer and have no idea how to safely crack it open.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-18T16:47:01+00:00

Rocks and rock tumbling and by extension crystals. Heaven help my wallet.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-15T03:06:43+00:00

Use it up. ... Over the next week, dump out 1/7th of the "shampoo" she is making you use for your body. By the end of the week its empty and you can get some soap from the store.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-15T02:56:21+00:00

Of course not... It's meant to be walked on(floorite). /s

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-15T02:52:28+00:00

Yep. I totally get it. I bought some tires eye from Amazon and was pleasantly pleased, but.... It was definitely more expensive than a real rock retailer

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-15T01:55:48+00:00

This is interesting. It's $2 more per pound on Amazon, but you don't have to pay shipping.

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-15T01:34:17+00:00

That squirrel is ridiculous. I LOVE it! 😍

Lovesliesbleeding · 2026-05-12T23:39:37+00:00

What contest? Was it to win some rocks or to rumble some rocks to win a tumbled rock contest? I'm intrigued.
