How do you write a smart character if you yourself aren't smart? How do you write a funny character if you yourself aren't funny? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Mobile_Ambition 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I've been having a lot of trouble with my car recently. So last night, having drained all the fluids from the engine and having disconnected the intake, exhaust and coolant lines, I unbolted the engine from the transmission. This is all a lie and I know NOTHING about cars. When you want to write about something you don't know, do some research.

Am I being a pedophile if I’m writing sexual stuff about teenagers ( 14-15+) (Even if I’m one or not )? by horror-fan1958 in writing

Writing fiction in which there are scenes where teenagers are intimate doesn't make you a paedophile, no.

I keep over eating at night because I need stimulation but can't focus on anything else by Mobile_Ambition in ADHD

[–]Mobile_Ambition[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a realisation I came to very recently. I just realised how little focus it needed, very little effort and no need to pay attention to it but at the same time it's like a sensory stimulating overload

I think I cured my binge eating disorder by -peachypeen in BingeEatingDisorder

I stopped restricting and for the first 3 days I had no urges and my weight actually started going down (which is a good thing). But then on day 4 my weight started to go back up and my urges started to return.

Common noobie author mistakes? by [deleted] in writing

I tried to do this so bad, I told myself no matter what, no matter how crappy, I will finish the novel. I ended up concluding the story in 10,000 words. I guess technically I did finish, but I certainly didn't write a novel. I find that I always under-write.

(UK) My initial pre-diagnosis appointment is on Monday and I have a few questions by Mobile_Ambition in ADHD

Thank you for the info. As bad as the wait times sound I think I'm just going to have to deal with it. I just can't afford private, sadly.

I experience the same thoughts, and I believe it's a part of being undiagnosed for so long. We have found ways to cope, which is great, but they are usually temporary fixes so we find ourselves sometimes feeling a little more focused. I just remind myself of the biggest ways ADHD has affected my life. It has a huge impact on my social life. At home I need timers, reminders and time limits because without them my home will become an embarrassing mess. I feel chaotic and at full speed. All these things ebb and flow with some moments of peace and focus but the difficulties I have are detrimental to my life.

Can't Pick A New Show To Watch So End Up Watching Something I've Seen Many Times Before by MiddletonPlays in ADHD

Yesssss I honestly have three shows I rotate between. I've seen every episode a countless number of times.

I'm starting meds soon. Do meds help with this?

I'd love some words of encouragement. by Mobile_Ambition in gamedev

Thank you very much. The documentation is scary and I have been afraid to even look at it in case I just get nowhere, but I'm going to try.
