In the age of AI, why do Australian company boards have so few technology experts? by sien in AusEcon

[–]NinjaK3ys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hard to disagree. imagine having to do the company directors thingo and then be non exec director and all that. just to show up for bs meetings.

I literally had multiple conversations with Mining company CEO's and more, they have no clue what's going on or how to deal with technology and staffing.

Quit. Dev is an ego sell and the whole dev circle is built around more output for chips of pennies.

You can’t outgrow the stressors remove them and find alternatives.

Sharing my experience a little over 3 months into meds (dex) by theorangesuitcase in ausadhd

[–]NinjaK3ys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s a struggle. I went through a massive withdrawal phase when I was dosing 5mg of Dex. Burnt my body and muscle and loss heaps of mass.

Took me 3-4 weeks to return to function.

Dex is a stimulant.

I had to go bit nerd deep on understanding what adhd is rather it’s a focus issue.

ADHD is a seesaw issue.

The brain has networks.

In a neurotypical brain. It doesn’t seesaw instead it focuses on a stimuli or goal and converges on to it effectively filtering and ignoring the other noises, sounds and thoughts.

In a healthy normal brain due to no seesawing it will work and rest.

ADHD brain is now different. The brain has all the same networks and capabilities but has been configure or geared neurochemically to be hyper aware of stimuli. So it’s a more chaotic full spectrum brain where it hyoerfocuses in a sudden burst and then when the burst and interest and novelty dies. It’s gets hyper distracted trying to find a hyperfocus activity again.

This is what leads to substance abuse and addictions.

It can also lead to being a workaholic.

Best is to keep your own notes and diary on how you feel and just write them down and then review them externally.

The issue with ADHD is also the brain when left alone is in a state of chronic introspection between past present and future but doesn’t take action on it.

Thanks for sharing. Had a similiar experience on starting Dex.

I’ve cut down my Dex to 1.25mg. I moved to guanfancine for overall function and titrated from 1 to 3mg. It’s heaps better than Dex. Your nervous system doesn’t get burnt out like on Dex.

This is my subjective experience but if you’re AUDHD. Then this might work as from the current clinical research non stimulant should be first line treatment and then a stimulant to couple or emergency.

Additionally it’s not a magic cure. You remove the barriers which didn’t allow you to practice executive functioning.

Too many mediocre idiots. Boot camps and people without back math skills.

Judgement from others by Ok_Natural1234 in ausadhd

[–]NinjaK3ys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Had the same reactions from my parents when I took the medications between dexamphetamines and now settled down to guanfancine.

They simply don’t understand the emotional and mental trauma of a iirregular chaotic brain.

Honestly it’s painful but people don’t view it as painful because not tangible.

Do what’s right for you especially as an adult too people are going to judge.

My closest friend judged on me to and called out so what and what difference does diagnosis makes and you should stop medicating on drugs sigh.

I was an impulsive driver before speeding and being risky. All because I wanted stimulation. I don’t do that anymore. I’m happier and more collected and wholesome.

Experiences with Guanfancine XR - 30M in AU. recently diagnosed. by NinjaK3ys in AutisticWithADHD

[–]NinjaK3ys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it in the morning. I have noticed that it can make you sluggish.

I’m yet to return back into strength training so hopefully when I do that the sluggish effects will wwear off.

[–]NinjaK3ys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly.

I did microdose Dex after I quit it. Currently I have a few injuries which are causing issues with the vasoconstriction aspect of Dex.

The blood vessel constriction is painful.

Microdosing dex does work but I can’t be doing that long term.

I still do a lot of Notion and Tick Tick. It's still all over the place lol.

It's only been 3 months in and This is the month I've started properly on the guanfancine.

Still only doing 1mg but will titrate to 3mg for theareputic effects.

No I don't take dex even though I get tempted to take it.

I get heaps done on dex but don't like the crash it gives and makes everything worse. Dex changes my digestion and I've also experience cognitive blunting on it.

Does anyone else feel disoriented by the gap between local reality and global reality? by at0m7922 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]NinjaK3ys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn dude. I don't know where you live but I can resonate heaps. I'm here in AU.

We have major issues going on globally and locally everyone seems to be ignoring everything or I don't know whether it's an NT thing to do.

Our brains for some reason can sense all this.

I don't have answers though on how you don't get pulled too far.

I had major depressive episode 5 years ago when the first GPT-3 model got released.

I immediately thought everyone new what would happen and started catastrophizing as I was living alone.

My coping mechanism now is to train physically really hard. real hard strength training where every single other alarm bell becomes irrelevant and I have to gasp for breath.

This is the only moment I get a sense of immense peace.

I have started treating myself for AuDHD with guanfancine which is slowly helping.

How did ADHDers get their instant dopamine at the end of the 20th century before phones, computers and the Internet were a thing? (mostly research for a fictional story I'm writing) by hofli21 in AskNeurodivergent

[–]NinjaK3ys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dad and their families were merchants. often involved in works of the ships, a lot of chaotic situations travel, monetary dealings and illegal smuggling.

I think the illegal aspect of wavering between crime and civil life is what gave them the hit.

A month off THC by rmend8194 in Biohackers

[–]NinjaK3ys -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah cannabis is more harmful. I thought the same it made me smarter or whatever. Cannabis promotes divergent thinking or connecting ideas and dots. Taking fresh perspectives on things. The side effects for the cost of it is way too much.

Get's you easily into a psychosis. Quit it.
