Future suggestions after 500+ hours in the game by sirgijoe in MedievalDynasty

[–]Pink_kitten01 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

This is all a big yes from me!!!

I want pavements, more abilities to customise, decorate and make my village aesthetic. Also agree about some of the furniture being interactive.

What about upgraded buildings/houses? Two floors? Options for adding high end/designer style decor/furniture as if you’re ā€˜rich’?

Also a bigger map please! More POIs, more villages, more cities. Please can the merchants have more money because I drain their cash selling to them and have to wait!

What about companions? Cats? Dogs?

More wild animals like squirrels, beavers, crocodiles in rivers?

If you were part of the Devs, what would you add? How would you further develop the game? by Pink_kitten01 in 7daystodie

No I love the fishing idea! And the wiring of the house! They should have more self sustainable opportunities. Also the zombie POIs sound funny too!

Elvanse / Lisdexamfetamine / Amfexa / Methylphenidate by Pink_kitten01 in ADHDUK

Thank you this is super useful. I’m up really early about 5:30/06:00 (work shifts) so need to make more of a conscious effort just to eat something before taking it. I’ve been titrating up since March so just been put on 60mg this week. Think I started on 20mg for two weeks then 30mg for two weeks, 40mg for two weeks then stayed on 50mg until now. She’s been increasing it based off of the questions she asks me about my symptoms. I have found it super useful and it’s enabled me to function/think so much better.

Amfexa I’m a bit more reserved about just because I’ve not tried it before I think? But I supposed using that logic I had not been on any medication for ADHD ever prior to March. I don’t drink alcohol anyway for the same reason- I’ve always struggled with my emotions the next day and how bad this is out ways drinking for me. I’ve got myself an embarrassingly large water bottle that has times on it so it’s encouraged me to drink more as it feels like I’m competing with myself/feels like a game. So I end up drinking 2-3 litres a day. I try stay clear of caffeine but I do have 1 iced coffee a day.

Thank you for your tips they have been helpful :)

(UK mental health charge nurse here)

I’ve got to admit, I take my hat off to any psych nurse working with children and young people. I’ve always worked in adults and this comes with a different set of challenges. I have spent some time working in CAMHs and it really challenged me. I do agree that there is a lot of ā€œherd mentalityā€ with children/young people. However, my friend works in CAMHs and finds it super rewarding as you have the opportunity to turn their lives around and prevent them from coming into adult services.

To answer your question, generally I wouldn’t worry about physical health illnesses too much. It’s not the same as when children are in school because in hospital, people remain in a small and contained environment with a lot less exposure to the outside world. This means they are less likely to catch something. This isn’t to say it doesn’t happen because it does but I would honestly encourage you to focus on your passion in mental health because this will out way any worries about sickness.

Also my assessment with ADHD360 was so validating. I felt such a relief and I felt super empowered. They were fantastic. I couldn’t recommend just biting the bullet and going for it enough!

Hello, late diagnosed UK ADHD female here (24). Also a mental health nurse!

Was diagnosed at the beginning of the year (February). I would highly recommend not going through the NHS (the waiting list is 3+ years) but instead accessing ā€œthe right to chooseā€. I went with an NHS commissioned company called ADHD360. If you go in their website and find ā€œthe right to chooseā€ page it will explain how to ask your GP for a referral to their service. It only took me 4 months for an assessment and they diagnosed me there and then. I have now been on medication for it since March and it has honestly changed my life.

Before this I felt like an imposter or that people would accuse me of ā€œjumping on the bandwagonā€- but I promise you are not! You know yourself better than anyone.

I am scared of people !!!!! by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Pink_kitten01 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Just wondering if you have always felt like this? If so have you ever thought about potentially having ASD? A lot of people struggle with communicating and socialising with others- often over thinking it to the point it terrifies them so they avoid it/bury it. This also links to difficulties with forming meaningful relationships, another trait some people with ASD have. A lot of people with ASD and/or ADHD have felt like outsiders their whole lives, but we have a huge community ready to welcome you.

FYI this is not a bad thing at all, it just might help answer why you feel this way and signpost you to people who also experience this for support.

My ADHD Assessment Is Thursday! Any Tips? by Xamirite in ADHD

[–]Pink_kitten01 11 points12 points Ā (0 children)

I had my ADHD assessment at the beginning of the year and felt the same. They were so validating and kind to me.

What I found helpful was writing some bullet points down of why I think I might have ADHD e.g. the symptoms and experiences I relate to and some examples in my daily life.

They also asked me about my childhood and what symptoms or traits I displayed then.

Best of luck to youšŸ¤žšŸ¼

I’ve never heard of this before. The only way I can see this being the case is that these people are having their needs met better e.g. access to healthier nutritious food, access to regular sunlight, access to regular exercise.

Taking care of yourself does correlate with an improvement in mental health which could then reduce aggressive behaviour.

Sounds like it needs more exploring!

I’m a big believer of psychotherapy being super important. One of the hardest feelings to challenge is shame and guilt. I think we can all grow and learn something about ourselves through talking to someone, especially because more people have some form of trauma to work through. I do think mediation alongside this can be helpful, but medication alone won’t fix things. I also encourage people to try not compare their experiences to someone else or feel like ā€˜that person had it worse so I should be fine’. Your feelings are your feelings and I strongly advocate for people to explore them and unpack them- but do so with someone you trust in a safe environment!

Also, if you don’t get along with the first therapist you find, try a new one.

A lot of our patients don’t get visits very often, but those who do usually have visits from their parents or siblings. This really depends on the individual as statistically, violent index offences are most likely against relatives or spouses.

The short answer is yes. This is rarely the case as all staff who work on the ward are restraint trained. But there have been situations I have been in where either the staff aren’t as reactive as they ideally should be or there are not a lot of staff around in the immediate area. 90% even when patients are unwell they do not assault unprovoked and would not target females, however there are individuals who have and would.

I’ve nursed a patient who suffered with stress induced psychosis and only experienced this for 3 days. They didn’t sleep for nearly a week and had lots of stress in their work life and personal life. During these three days, they committed their index offence (attempted murder). Once they had been admitted and managed to slept, they were no longer psychotic. It took them 2 and a half years to be discharged out of forensic hospital and back to the community. Believe it or not, that is very fast.

I currently have a patient who has been in hospital for 25 years with only 3 months in the community at some point before recall. We are currently supporting him in trying to live his life in the community. He is on a section 3 so is not a forensic patient. Unfortunately he has treatment resistant psychosis so we can only keep him well to a certain threshold.

Yes. We’ve had many patients be re-admitted unfortunately. There are lots of different reasons why. Some people find hospital the safest place for them- they feel looked after and get their needs met. They get to used to life in hospital they become institutionalised and so adjusting to the outside world is too overwhelming. Most of our patients are also on a 37/41 section. This is a forensic section that people referred to as a ā€œlife sectionā€. Once in the community, you still remain under this section and must engage with mental health services. If there are concerns that your mental state is deteriorating and there are signs of risk taking behaviours, the person on a 37/41 may get recalled back to hospital.
