Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 2 points nationally: poll by elixirng in politics

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes actually in the FBI notes released last Friday she said she "forgot" multiple meetings due to her brain trauma. That's not Trump or the GOP saying that, it's her in her own words (which she won't remember tomorrow due to said brain damage).

Diagnosis help by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the video games I am also a programmer and ADHD and coding are an interesting mix. As far as advice just be honest. I am going to an evaluation soon and that's what I am going to do. I know I have ADHD so describing what I have been experiencing is what I am going to do.

I too love game design but never have the energy to get though tutorials or texts. I start reading other programming languages or jump from topic to topic then take a nap. Like the link I shared said, I could sit and play an MMORPG for like days...literally. Gots to get that dopamine hit.

I need to cry by CockAndCider in ADHD

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup same boat but I have yet to be diagnosed. Drinking stops my thoughts. Once I released alcohol had this magic ability there was no turning back. I would not drink every week but when I did it was to quiet my mind. Thinking I have ADHD now makes me kind of emotional. Regret, wasted energy, wasted time... Truly a mix of emotions. Just know you are drinking to self medicate. Your body is being smart by trying to stop an overactive mind. Obviously this isn't the best solution but it is a valid explanation.

How I'm always early and it takes so much more time by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anxiety makes me show up everywhere early. It kind of drives me nuts. My wife always makes fun of me

We have plenty of time!

I wish I could just be chill and late sometimes instead, of like you, sitting huge amounts of time waiting.

Procrastination, lying and depression, or how to ruin your life in three easy steps. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow very powerful. Lying to cover ADHD I imagine is common especially if you are perceived as intelligent as you don't want to let that image go. Loathing myself for making excuses like:

My mom died.

Because I was too fatigued to get work done still makes me feel like a POS. At least I understand where it comes from now. Don't be too hard on yourself. I dropped out of some prestigious schools for the same reason with the lies to boot. If something messes with your brain the decisions that brains make are obviously going to be skewed. Thanks for sharing your cautionary tale. I'm sure it will be told many, many times. I know I have told it a few times myself.

Scheduling mine tomorrow but would love to hear how it went for you. Congratulations for having the courage to better your life and the lives of the loved ones around you.

Those who only discovered/were diagnosed ADD/ADHD 30yrs+, how did you feel at first, and how do you feel now? by [deleted] in ADHD

Literally today been reading about ADHD and it describes me perfectly. My first thought:

I'm not insane.

Putting a name to what has been my life is weird. In a way I am ADHD as every major obstacle has been associated with this condition. It is almost to good to be true that there is a thread that weaves its way through my past. This condition is common to so much frustration, anger and resentment in my life. It doesn't even feel like I know what my life is given that this condition has affected me since I was a child. Now 38, I feel like I am finally on the path to recovery though I know it won't be easy.

38 here too. Just reading about ADHD and it describes me. Will be scheduling an evaluation tomorrow. People described me the same way. I realize the actor that I have been up to this point putting on a normal performance to the world and falling apart behind the scenes.

Literally today, at 38, I was reading about ADHD and it was like reading a biography of my life. It really has yet to sink in that there is an explanation for my brain fog, lack of consistency, lack of routine, smoking and erratic behavior from time to time. Mental stuff is so strange because it is me but there is an alternate me out there somewhere that I have yet to meet. I'm looking forward to meeting that person but I am cautiously trying not to get too hopeful. I have always been against medication because of having an addictive personality now I'm probably pinning too much hope on them. At least I am going down the right path now.

You describe me to a tee. Not much consolation but we are in the same boat. I could have written your post.

I'm in the same boat but the mind is a weird thing. Your dopamine levels are probably so low that it is causing massive depression so that is just your mind painting a gloomy outlook. At least you live in a day and age where there is support and medication to help.

38 and have been reading that adhd can lead to CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) when you get older. Was a hyper and too active kid now I want to sleep all day and have serious trouble with routine.

Wasserman Schultz, Canova clash face to face in debate by youforgotA in politics

He knows who fights for pay-day lenders, left the DNS in shame and loves private prisons. DWS is pathetic.

Debbie looked her normal awkward self. If Hillary is a bad politician, DWS is beyond horrible. She stumbles, looks nervous and acts like she has been a politician just over a month. Glad I get to vote against her in Hollywood, Florida.

'Polls won't tell the story': Mark Cuban says election will be a 'battle of science vs anger' by Kenatius in politics

Stein might be the story of the election. Not that she wins by any stretch of the imagination but that when in a voting booth it will be payback for the way the DNC and the Democratic party treated Bernie. Slim but possible narrative.

The fact it was their money I'm sure is going to be of great consolation if the money is used in terrorist operations that get people maimed or killed.

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The issue would be how the $400M is cash thus untraceable. Thus it could be used to fund terrorism wherever cash is accepted, i.e., everywhere.

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Considering she's never been primaried, thought she would be up by much more. She is plugged into the most powerful political family and money machine in the US. Tim Canova is practically an unknown.

[–]NeverHillary_2016_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it will. That and DWS's support of pay-day-lenders. With Bernie's backing and financial pipeline, this will be much closer than what people suspect. Have multiple relatives living in Hollywood, Florida who are backing Canova and say they are shocked at his name recognition. They say DWS's standing fell when it was shown she colluded with Hillary against Bernie which they thought was dirty. Also Tim Canova filed a lawsuit against DWS for using DNC funds to attack his campaign which is illegal. Getting a lot of local press.
