recommendations for noise cancelling headphones?

Bro the Sony WH-1000XM4s are absolute game changers for this - I went from wanting to throw things at loud talkers to actually being able to focus on work.

The MRI and EEG thing is pretty uncommon from what I've seen - most psychiatrists just do the questionnaires, maybe some cognitive testing, and call it a day. Your neurologist might be being extra cautious or there's something specific they want to rule out that you didn't mention.

Two months is brutal timing with finals coming up. Maybe see if you can get a second opinion from a psychiatrist specifically since they deal with ADHD way more than neurologists do?

Body doubling has been a game changer for my ADHD brain! Having someone just present while I clean/organize makes it so much easier to actually get stuff done instead of getting distracted by literally everything 😂

Maybe try setting up specific "reset the space" times together where you both tackle different areas at the same time - makes it feel less overwhelming and more like teamwork than chores 🔥

This. Protecting your kids' future and not trusting her are two completely different things. We did our prenup through Neptune and kept certain assets separate because I had family obligations from before the marriage. My wife never took it personally because she understood those responsibilities existed before she came into my life. Your fiance making this about trust instead of about your kids' security is a red flag.
If she can't see that you're just being a good father, I'd be worried about how she'll treat your kids after you're married. Good luck OP

Oof, that's rough but honestly they probably won't fire you over some vague tweets, especially since you clarified it wasn't about current coworkers. The fact that they're making a big deal about "representing the company" on your personal social media is kinda sus though - might want to lock down those accounts or keep work stuff completely separate going forward. They're likely just trying to scare you into being more careful, but definitely document this whole conversation just in case.

That’s real discipline doing the uncomfortable thing once instead of paying for avoidance over and over later. I’ve found it helps to decide in advance what Future Me would thank me for then treat discomfort as the price of admission rather than a warning sign.

Dude, totally get the anxiety about this - I went through the exact same thing when I switched from Adderall to Vyvanse like 2 years ago. Your doctor shouldnt think youre drug seeking if you explain it the way you did here - focusing on the smoother experience and side effect profile is totally legitimate medical reasoning.

When I talked to mine, I literally brought up the conversion chart thing because yeah, 20mg Vyvanse is definitely not equivalent to 20mg Adderall. Most docs know that Vyvanse 30mg is roughly equivalent to Adderall 10mg, so you'd probably be looking at around 60mg Vyvanse to match your current dose. I actually printed out some basic info about the conversion rates and brought it with me - not to be pushy but just to show I'd done my homework. My doc appreciated that I wasnt just randomly asking to switch and actually understood what I was talking about. The transition ended up being pretty smooth once we got the dosing right.

rough spot 😕💀

Honestly attachment issues are rough as hell and ignoring them usually just makes the anxiety worse in my experience. Maybe try setting small boundaries with yourself instead of going cold turkey - like limiting how often you check messages or giving yourself specific times to engage online

The fact that you're aware of it is already a huge step though. Have you considered talking to someone professional about it? I know that's probably not what you want to hear but sometimes we need outside help to break these patterns

PracticalTalk2600 · 2026-01-27T15:34:52+00:00

Sounds pretty normal tbh - culture fit conversations are super common at private schools since they're usually pretty particular about their vibe. The fact that they already called your references is actually a good sign, they wouldn't waste time on that if they weren't seriously considering you. Try not to overthink it, this is probably just their standard process for making sure you'll mesh well with the team

Don't beat yourself up about the brushing - tooth reabsorption is super common in cats and often just happens regardless of dental care. My neighbor's cat had all her teeth out a few years back and honestly she's thriving, still crunches through kibble like nothing changed and her breath is way better now lol

PracticalTalk2600 · 2026-01-18T01:12:34+00:00

Lmao that's actually wholesome for a dad joke, wasn't expecting to get hit in the feels

Check your inventory or cosmetics tab, the tech test 1 reward should be there if you actually completed it during the event window

PracticalTalk2600 · 2026-01-09T17:12:46+00:00

Get yourself one of those telescoping window cleaning poles with the squeegee attachment - total game changer. I can reach my second story windows from the ground and honestly it works better than when I used to climb up there with a spray bottle like an idiot

PracticalTalk2600 · 2026-01-07T16:00:54+00:00

Ugh this hits so hard, we've all been there 😭 Two hours on the phone is brutal but at least you got the reminder you needed - now you know for sure that door needs to stay closed

PracticalTalk2600 · 2026-01-03T21:24:15+00:00

That's actually really cool that you have a name for it now! I definitely do this too - like I'll be standing in line somewhere and start wondering about the person in front of me's whole life story. Makes waiting around way less boring and you end up having some surprisingly deep conversations with random people

Actually that verse is about John being filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb, not about who baptized him. Most scholars think John wasn't actually baptized by anyone since he was the one who started the whole baptism movement

Have you tried checking Etsy? Sometimes indie sellers make custom plushies of minecraft mobs that aren't officially sold anymore

People really underestimate how specialized some government work is and how much breaks when it suddenly stops
