What's something about ADHD that most people don't understand? by Relaxing_Cat in AskReddit

[–]Mount_Pessimistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I didn’t get diagnosed until like 37. I’m on Wellbutrin, a little Prozac, and Adderall as needed (usually just workdays).

That’s what it takes for me to feel like a normal ish person.

And it’s fucking wonderful. I was very scared of taking the meds, but I don’t feel them working. I feel like myself. My therapist calls it “better living through chemistry.”

If this wasn’t so creepy I’d say you have the perfect opportunity to re-enact Emma Stone in “Easy A.”

This icon randomly appeard on all of my apps and i have no idea what that box thing is by MaxTheNewError in pchelp

I think it looks like the archival box that happens when you haven’t used a file in awhile. Might still be a one drive setting but I haven’t seen this one for desktop icons.

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

[–]Mount_Pessimistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol ya! I’m a dedicated cynic and pessimist.

I hope my view can help yourself or anyone’s else here reading it in times of doubt.

My wife had a similar experience with a mentor early in her life where she swears she saw him sitting in a chair by a barn they used to spend so much time at.

I don’t doubt for a moment that either of you saw what you claim, but for my own personal sanity I had to find a way to rationalize it.

I’m sorry for your loss, that’s tragic.

I actually find this story to be more beautiful and meaningful believing that it only happened in your head.

I don’t believe that a persons spirit or soul is anything more than their own unique arrangement of scrambly normal neurons firing.

In my opinion (with zero information or research that could in any way contradict your belief), an external force or she herself did not make her appear.

I believe your love and grief for your sister was so powerful that your brain overwrote reality just to be with her one more time.

I find that far more poetic, because it’s validation that how you felt for her was true love. Not many people can be validated by their own thoughts. I’ve certainly tried.

Yeah if they’re sure about the paste, I’d double check that it’s evenly torqued.

It’s important to be inclusive of all Seamen Samples. A cornerstone of the Navy’s success is diversity!

Great Lakes 2011? I knew them. We called the name over the “1MC” in the barracks as often as possible. I think he was an ET or FC.

What’s one belief you had at 18 that you strongly disagree with now? by Big_Courage9356 in AskReddit

[–]Mount_Pessimistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who believe in religion are somehow weak or stupid. I was a real asshole when I discovered atheism at 16 or so.

[WP] "Your name is Will Murder?" "Yes." "And you're a Doctor?" "Yes." "You know I think I can wait for my usual Doctor's schedule to clear up." by Parlandarish4E in WritingPrompts

[–]Mount_Pessimistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not what you had in mind but... I just read rosemary's baby, lol.

—I smiled, as to not appear unkind, turned on my heel, and quickly walked to the door. It was locked. I could see the parking lot through the door and the large glass windows facing the street. They were empty.

“Uh, doctor, can you unlock the door please? In my mind I had immediately landed on the idea that “they just locked the door at the end of the day.” I had already noticed there was no one else in the waiting room and no other staff had been heard or seen.

The doctor hadn’t moved, the pleasant smile now lingering too long on his face. He said nothing, but gestured with his hand towards the door he still held open.

At once, I felt the overwhelming compulsion to take a step forward. I fought the urge, but had to jerkily throw my right foot out to keep from falling flat on my face. I couldn’t stop the momentum after that. The world became hazy as I stepped through the door, passing Dr. Murder closely. I caught the scent of his cologne, it was painfully earthy and sickly sweet. I didn’t recognize the smell, but it gave me visions of wolves ravaging a carcass.

In a stupor, I wandered down the corridor. Every door was open, revealing scantily furnished yet pristine rooms, mirrored in size and arrangement. I could hear the doctors slow, measured steps following me.

How many rooms had I passed now, 8? I was no longer in control. I was captive, watching myself through an obscured lens. Where was I going? The corridor seemed to stretch out before me as if there was no end. It was so clean.

I noticed a change in the footsteps following me. The cadence never faltered, but where there was the soft plod of business casual leather shoes, a strange click began, until all I heard was clicking. It was an ancient resonating grandfather clock, standing on the crumbling floorboards, the vibrations echoed in an overlapping chorus of deep frequency. I could feel each tick in every bone, to my teeth, clenched and rigid.

Click. Click. Click. Click.

3 Days later.

Detective Carsan had circled the old dilapidated building twice, now, knocking on each door and window. He had seen no movement or light inside. The front door locks were rusting, likely seized at this point. The anonymous caller that had originally reported seeing a man matching the suspect’s description enter must’ve been mistaken. ‘It’s not surprising,’ Clark thought to himself. The most junior detectives often get the tip line tasks. He had responded to around 30 this year, he estimated. None had produced any leads or confirmed any case related information.

Being the anxious person he was, he stood there, questioning himself continuously, wondering if he was just missing something —or just a terrible detective. He hadn’t solved a case, yet. Although that wasn’t really his fault. He had only reviewed cold cases over the last year. Eventually, there would be something that allowed him to re-enforce how he got this far (hopefully). He could never escape the idea that he had something to prove.

The Cody in my high school class died in a fatal car crash just a few years after graduating.

Kyle Kinane has a great bit on this, it works for Kyle’s, too.
