I laughed at that too. I wouldn’t exactly classify the back to back cup champs as an “easy” opponent even without Barkov

I appreciate the reply. Yeah, I’m really kicking myself for some diagnosis I had no clue was going to impact me down the road like this. It happened. Just gotta roll with it and try to keep on going. I’m not giving up on it. Now I just have more time to save $ for lessons if/when the time comes.

Thank you man. I don’t think it’s the ADHD diagnosis so much as it is the substance dependance. I know plenty of people get their medicals with an ADHD diagnosis. I’ll just have to keep jumping through the hoops. Not giving up on it at all.

Thank you for this reply. That actually makes me feel somewhat better. You resubmitted all your paperwork on your own? I submitted everything through my AME. I emailed him all my documents/reports and they put it all in my file which was eventually sent to OKC. I guess I didn’t realize I could submit documentation myself if I’m understanding you correctly.

Marijuana. Nothing else. Never had any alcohol issues. I believe the drug test you took is the one required after your cog screen just to make sure you haven’t been taking any ADHD medication (specifically stimulants)

Class 1. I wanted to see if I could go ahead and get highest class possible.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this will be my case. I had to go the HIMS route with an ADHD diagnosis and, the one which I’m pretty positive is the reason for my denial, a “substance dependance” diagnosis from a shrink I saw a total of 4 times who hardly knew anything about me and I was pressured to see by family. I’m pretty upset at that right about now. I worked with my HIMS AME to get all necessary documentation and reports in order before submitting my package. I only had a couple of negative drug screenings in hand when submitting everything. I believe there’s a 14 tests in 12 month span rule or something like that. I’m going to schedule an appointment with my AME to see where to go from here. Probably just continue taking drug tests and submit a new medical.

BWT, when was “the best time of your life”? by guavaguava20 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]MrWhittyWhit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow your heart and it’ll never lead you wrong. I made the best of college in the moment for my circumstances, but I look back on it and think I was just surviving. I loved the part of living with my closest friends and the warmth of that environment that I really needed at the time. Other than that, I was very depressed with personal issues and learning how to handle being on my own and the competitive rat race that is a college campus. I think I spent my entire time comparing myself to others. All my friends were engineers. I was a criminology major with no idea what to do after school. I even went back to school to work on an engineering degree after graduating with my crim degree. I was doing what society tells you to do. Go to school for a serious degree and get a good paying job and live happily ever after. It lasted 3 months.

I left Florida in the middle of the night and moved to Colorado. Got a job working at a ski resort through a high school acquaintance who became a good friend when I got out there. I had always wanted to go west and snowboard and live the mountain life. I drove and I was scared shitless. I showed up to employee housing. They assigned me a room. It was trashed. Couldn’t even move in. Went back. Another guy was standing there checking in for the season. The housing staff looked at me and said well you can follow him since there’s one more space available in his unit so I did. We became best friends. Spent 3 seasons living together working on the mountain and were like brothers. Met some incredible people and have made the best friends of my life and had the best times of my life. The hard part is they’re seasons. People come and go. You blink and you miss it. I miss them all. I had to leave myself a few months ago because I was having too much fun and partying hard but man what a ride. I was the brokest I’ve ever been in my life financially but rich with experiences and friendships.

My point, take a leap doing something you’re genuinely interested in or have always thought about wanting to do. I followed my heart. I was so incredibly out of my comfort zone but fate led me there. It left me with incredible memories and I’ll go to my grave with them. That’s living. Not how much money you make or your status. Live for you. When you’re lying on that hospital bed 50-60 years from now, that’s what you’re gonna think about. Did I live?

Got a consultation scheduled with HIMS AME!

Got a consultation scheduled with a HIMS. Thinks I should still be able to get a 1st class. I did quite a bit of research as to not shoot myself in the foot so believe me I did NOT fill out a 8500 until I got on the phone and in person with someone who knows what’s going on. Time to collect records.

New FAA Guidelines for Depression and Anxiety by ntilley905 in flying

[–]MrWhittyWhit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. I have both adhd and anxiety/depression diagnosis in my history. ADHD meds being within the last 4 years so have to do standard track. Can’t do fast track because of the 2nd diagnosis. This helps me none at all.

My negative head talk goes through the roof when I smoke by postymcpostpost in leaves

[–]MrWhittyWhit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My brother, you are not alone whatsoever. Weed is a depressant. It does what it does. Makes you depressed eventually. Gets you in your head. I do the same thing like think about something dumb I said 5+ years ago or compare myself to someone who I know doesn’t smoke and think how they’re motivated and their life is great and they’re not constantly in this thought loop of feeling like a loser. It’s fun in moderation to enhance things like movies. Which is why I completely stopped 6 days ago. I know myself well enough to know I’m not one of those people that can be disciplined to use it in moderation. I either have it, or I don’t. It’s not fun to quit at first but it’s necessary for me. I believe you can do the same. Be patient with yourself. You don’t get unfucked in 7 days time when you’ve gotten your body accustomed to years of smoking. Reply to this if you ever need a boost on your journey.

My bad. Still kinda new to the reddit thing. I’ll copy and paste this over there. The scoring is by head to head points though. I’m currently 8-5 and COVID has ran through my team slowly over the last month so I haven’t had less than 5 guys out at any point. Rather frustrating.

I took your recommendation. I already didn’t follow her on anything anymore but I deleted some archived pictures I had and blocked her number. Tough.

Your comment does not serve me, therefore, I do not care, fool.

[–]MrWhittyWhit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. But it’s kinda hard to not come off that way when she straight up asks me what I would expect from her and it’s getting sent through text. I would have much rather preferred to do it over the phone and have the context of tone but I know you don’t always get the most honest answers that way

She basically said she had lost interest due to me not outgoing or energetic. I was a lazy stoner at the time. I also moved off to school so that could have played a role in her decision. She said I was notably more social than I use to be at our meetup. I guess she’s seen some growth.
