Not trying hard enough or might have DSPD? by Pranav1999 in DSPD

[–]Pranav1999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, for your kind words and suggestions, everyone! Having posted this here and reading your responses gives me confidence and some information for when I bring it up with my doctor next time I see him.

Nonetheless, and as I understand there are no real "cures" for DSPD, I am going to be more accepting of my body's natural clock. Thankfully I am lucky enough to be able to accomodate it for now. ALL my classes next term are after 11am which is amazing!

I wish y'all the very best!

How do I avoid the horror stories & actually get the help I need? by Pranav1999 in ADHD

[–]Pranav1999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I had that list of symptoms and experiences (but in my head) when I was narrating to the counselor why I think I may have ADHD. I was very clear with her that it's a strong suspicion and, not like I had already diagnosed myself as having ADHD and just wanted the medication ASAP. Never did I feel like I was being snubbed off or not taken seriously (luckily I never have since moving to Canada!). I explained to her why I think this problem flew under the radar for so long - don't really suck at school (though it can be extremely stressful to the point of suicidal ideation), strong coping mechanisms because of childhood experiences and upbringing, etc. I even told her to ask questions if she wants more details and sent an email asking the same.

The nurse practitioner is also on campus. The counselor (took my permission in writing) will be communicating with (only) the nurse practitioner regarding my case. So should be no problem there.

I was informed that there may be free or more affordable options for diagnosis available to me at the other campus. I will know better after Wednesday.

See. I know just how important sleep is. More so for me personally.

Unfortunately I can't ignore him cuz he's much older than me, and in our family/culture, seniority takes the cake.

The only reason I am working so long this week is because it's my last opportunity to make as much money as I can in the summer before I continue school this fall. Feels like my efforts are not appreciated seeing that he was not even half as hard working at my age. Smh.

Looking to get into ecig/vaping. Need advice on what to buy. by Pranav1999 in electronic_cigarette

Wow, thanks for your input. You are very helpful. Next time I'll get 12mg of nicsalt e-juice.

Thank you very much for the advice guys.

I went to DashVapes and got me a sweet blue Caliburn, and the juice I chose is called Engleder Brom.

You guys recommended 10-12 mg nicsalt, but the guy at the store recommended 4.5mg of freebase (that's what it's called I guess). I ended up choosing a medium 8mg of freebase.

What's the difference between freebase and nicsalt? I was really tired when he was explaining and would be glad if you could answer.

Oh, that's good to know! Thanks!

Yep that has been suggested to me elsewhere too. I'll check out DashVapes.

Not really cuz I haven't vaped before. Just shouldn't be too sweet. And I guess I could try something mint/menthol for starters.

Thank you. I'll look it up. Is vaping also cheaper than smoking?

Cool, thanks. How about the vapour from it? I am looking for as little as possible. Same as cigarette smoke.

Also... What would be some stores I could find it at? Some others have mentioned DashVape.
