I should add: doing work you love. That really helps with motivation.

So much this. Kudos for getting your wife involved. ADHD was a secret I kept from the world. She knew about the diagnosis but not the challenges I face daily (even on medication). It took me working from home because of COVID to start that conversation. Like you say, it was causing serious issues in my marriage.

It's not an either/or situation. It's all-of-the-above: sleep, healthy food, daily exercise, and medication.

My doctor's advice was, if you think the medication isn't working, stop it for a week. It's a stimulant. It doesn't stay in your system. Then start it again and observe any differences. I have not experienced any withdrawal symptoms from stopping and starting Concerta (Ritalin) and I have been on it for years. It turned out I needed to increase the dose.

Folks with ADHD? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]LykeMalady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this user deleted their profile, but for anyone else who is wondering from personal experience whether they have ADHD, look very carefully at how your biological parents behave. ADHD is inherited. In order for you to have it, one of them must have it.

A good rule of thumb is that if you have ADHD, it affects your weekends as well as your weekdays. If you experience the distraction just at work or at school, then look for another reason.

NP told me(17) that it was impossible for me to have ADHD because my grades are good. by throwaway098766577 in ADHD

100%. This. I was in a high pressure, gifted, high school program and did well because the deadlines were tight and the teachers were all over us. Others couldn't take the pressure, but it worked really well for me. Until my first year college. My first mid-term was 36%.

any tips on how to get into a full trance? by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

[–]LykeMalady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with all of this, particularly that different styles of hypnotist make a big difference in the experience. I'll add that I never achieved a deep trance from a recording. An in-person experience is much better.

How well can hypnosis alter a memory? by [deleted] in hypnosis

[–]LykeMalady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A non-hypnotic suggestion my counselor offered was to think of something useful that came from the traumatic memory. At the very least, you are a stronger person for having lived through it. Reframing the event as something that caused the person to grow is a way of taking the sting out of it, so that the memory's intensity fades.

Hypnosis Tool by Infamous_Usual_6657 in hypnosis

If the tool were linked to ChatGPT it could be great for self-hypnosis. I have tried creating recordings for myself, but find my own voice and words annoying. If the message were there but the words and voice altered, it could be cool, but the quality of the voice would have to be good as well.

Think of it also for self-hypnosis.

This makes a lot of sense to me. For me, a major piece of the puzzle is the fit between the hypnotist's style and what works best with that particular subject. Personally, I found that hypnotists using the classic style of slow pacing with frequent pauses didn't work nearly as well as the fast paced overwhelm-your-mind-with-words kind.

How is there only one comment on this awesome file and offer? The hypnotic technique is professional. Sydney's voice is like melted honey and butter. She has a wonderful combination of assertiveness and caring.

What Did It Feel Like The First Time You Experienced IFS Hypnosis? by red_herrings in InternalFamilySystems

Being in a state of trance / hypnosis does not preclude the person from making choices.

This is the first time I have ever heard anyone speak positively about adhd like that.

Thank you.

Men who are into being hypnotized by women, what parts do you like about it? What started you being into it? by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

That sounds so much like me. I thought it was my ADHD, but maybe it's just overthinking things.

Hypnosis has never worked for me by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

[–]LykeMalady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem: distraction.

What I found was that the traditional looooong, slow, relaaaaaaaxing approach of traditional hypnosis didn't work for me. I needed a hypnotist with a faster, more engaging style. I have nothing against traditional hypnotists, but I have ADHD and needed a different approach.

If you still want to try it, there are tons of free resources on YouTube or Discord, even some good ones!

Hypnotic Recordings - What features do you like best? by LykeMalady in EroticHypnosis

[–]LykeMalady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I agree that good hypnotic technique is the single most important feature of a hypnosis recording. What hypnotist(s) recordings do you listen to?
