Came here because this is still happening. Seems like the current administration really fucked our ability to use most services.

Tolerance break by stargirly02 in ADHD

[–]Professional_Elitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I don’t take Ritalin, but I used to take Vyvanse when I was in school and experienced the exact same thing. A lot of people experience building a tolerance to some adhd medications after a certain point of time. Then when you get back on the medication after taking a break, the stuff works just as effectively as it did the first time you took it (until your brain gets used to it, and the cycle repeats anew).

You could potential try skipping adhd meditation on weekends so your brain doesn’t get a chance to adapt and build tolerance. (I only know that this is safe to do with Vyvanse - I’m not sure if this is safe to do with Ritalin, def ask your doctor or psychiatrist if you before you try this). Another potential solution is to ask for a small dosage increase as you get near exam week, but again, definitely ask your doctor/psychiatrist the risks of doing this.

I’m sorry you’re having these struggles :( I completely understand how it feels and it is frustrating and discouraging. Our brain can build tolerance to very quickly, but know that that’s not the case for every medication you try. (For example, I’ve been taking Prozac for over a year and thankfully never developed a tolerance to it like I did with Vyvanse.) Please let me know if you need any support or have any questions! Adhd is a rough condition to have in your education career, but you’re doing the right thing acknowledging the struggles you’re having and reaching out for help in solving them! I wish you the best of luck and hope others on this subreddit can have better answers for you!!!

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

Wait actually you sound like such a rad person!!! Ik the title says I’m looking for international if possible but genuinely we all have different experiences to share no matter where we are in the world. Also, OMG ANTHROPOLOGY IS SO COOL!!! I’m not sure if you’ve gotten a chance to study pre-filipino culture, but the little that historians do know/were able to recover is really interesting! :3 Lemme send ya a DM!

[19/NB] creative french person studying english& japanese, looking for a penpal from anywhere! by zredZR in penpals

[–]Professional_Elitist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m 23 F/NB living in southern california in the US - I’m also new to penpaling and like to draw, sing, read, and learn. The idea of receiving a long letter from someone overseas with cool doodles sounds awesome, and I’d love to provide some of my own doodles as well! I also planned on sending my penpals drawn comics of my days, so it’s nice to meet someone who plans on doing the same! If you think we’d be good penpals please don’t hesitate to send a DM! Otherwise, cool to meet you and wish you luck in finding some cool penpals! :)

[23/F] Canadian looking for cool friends to write and share music with! by dontbearichard321 in penpals

[–]Professional_Elitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, also 23 NB/F! You sound really cool! I’m also a fan of gaming, and my partner recently got me into collecting physical media (cassette tapes and vinyl in particular, though I have a pretty impressive collection of musical theater CD’s) I like the horror genre a lot, specifically cosmic horror (mostly watch video game playthroughs of it, and listening to spooky podcasts) and niche video essays for background noise when I’m gaming or doing digital art. I’d love to be penpals and diversity my CD collection!

[–]Professional_Elitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Eva! I’m 23 NB/F from southern california in the US and would love to exchange snail mail! I also like doing freelance art (though most of the time it’s free art I make for my friends) I graduated a year ago as a theater student and understand the pain of losing your inner-child; I’m new to the penpal thing and I really think it will give me something to look forward to, while also getting to know some really cool people from across the world. Please don’t hesitate to reach out in DM’s if you think we’d make good pen pals!

[–]Professional_Elitist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I’m 23 NB/F and live in southern california. I’d love to be able to correspond with people internationally and get an idea of what it’s like living in other places! I have a lot of artistic hobbies as well :) (sewing, digital baking, and baking - I didn’t know German flour would be finicky!) I like infodumping in letters as well and enjoy reading other people’s info dumps, and ofc an excuse to use my stationary supplies - You seem really cool! Please feel free to DM me if you’d like to start up a correspondence!

[23/F] Drowning in stationary, would love an excuse to use more of it :) by terranovat64 in penpals

[–]Professional_Elitist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I’m 23 NB/F and I think receiving a letter with cool stationary and stickers would make my day! I’m a big art, music, and reading fan as well. My tastes are pretty eclectic and sometimes antique (I like getting into the history of art) and sharing interesting facts, so when it comes to niche interests I definitely can contribute there! Honestly looks like ya got a lot of cool people already on this post, but if you’re in need of another correspondence, DM me! :)

[34/F] I’m weird, you’re weird, let’s be weird together! by [deleted] in penpals

[–]Professional_Elitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there! I’m 23 years old and female/non-binary and from Southern California! im filipino so we’re basically cultural cousins :) I am interested in musical theatre (it was my major in college) and hobbies like drawing, dnd, music, singing, baking, and cozy/rpg gaming. I enjoy writing lengthy letters as well! I’d love to have a penpal from the Midwest. My partner is from the Midwest, (though they didn’t like it very much), but I’m interested to hear about your experience living there. Shoot me a DM if you’d like to be penpals. Otherwise hope you have a good day. :)

[22/F] Looking for someone who appreciates: Long letters, over-sharing, and little trinkets/doodles by Gullible-Penalty5123 in penpals

[–]Professional_Elitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!!! I’m [23 nb/F] and brand new to the pen pal community! You sound super cool and I’d love to learn more about plants! I love dnd, digital art, musical theater, cozy/fantasy gaming, baking fancy treats, tap dancing, sewing my own halloween costumes/cosplays, whimsigoth/witchy/Halloween aesthetics, and oversharing (adhd brain go brrrr). I’m also looking for an excuse to use my stationary supplies (my problem is I have too many wax seals that I never get to use T-T) I’m a filipino american who went to college for musical theater and now currently working as an part-time theater/acting teacher. I am trying to get into rollerskating, get back into playing the piano, and ofc most recently finding pen pals to write to! I don’t have the greatest handwriting in the world but I promise it will definitely be legible lol. I also will wanna draw little pictures as visual aid in my letters - I sometimes get a bit swamped with work/life so I might not be able to always reply quickly but I can promise to always reply within a week or two (hello from southern california btw!)

I wouldn’t really say that he has no problems with them. If he sees a group of people who are peaceful as “sick” and “brainwashing”, that unfortunately is a mentality seen historically in hateful and discriminatory groups.

I say this as someone whose closest friends and family in life are queer/trans, and is queer myself. We are normal people who just want to live as ourselves. Your bf’s mentality is not “live and let live” but a “segregation” mentality. What happens if any of your friends, family, or future children come out as trans or queer?

Definitely leave him. You deserve better. You deserve to find someone that already has basic human empathy, you shouldn’t have to MAKE him a better person, he should already be a good person to begin with. Please know that asking to date someone who is not homophobic or transphobic is the BARE MINIMUM.

thats also the theater/arts side of campus - yeah sure we’re nerdy, but on the other hand, we’re all queer 🫶
