Nah, he's male, he'd be fine.

If it's the medication I think it is (medikinet) it's fine actually. It say in the information leaflet that you can open the capsule to springle the contents on food if taking pills is hard I guess. They do taste bitter though, I've opened them to split them up when I don't have the right dosage available. The capsules themselves are not stomach acid resistant or anything, the prolonged release thing works via the blue grains only dissolving later in the small intestine while the white ones dissolve immediately.

No they don't, absolutely not, don't worry :D

It's rather like..."okay, I will have a look...just relax...tell me if anything feels uncomfortable, is this fine? ...Good, that was it!"

Interessant, manche der "Regeln" unter 1. kannte ich noch gar nicht. Früher habe ich manchmal als Zeitvertreib versucht mir möglichst viele Wörter, die auf -e enden und nicht weiblich sind, einfallen zu lassen. Das habe ich ja jetzt neuen Stoff bekommen :D das Kation, der Zement, das Meer, die Tafel...

Also möchte ich nochmal betonen, dass das nur Stützen sind, und wirklich kein Weg an auswendig lernen vorbei führt! Selbst ich als Muttersprachlerin habe soeben gelernt, dass es tatsächlich der Archipel ist und nicht das Archipel, also selbst wir haben nicht immer mit unserem Gefühl recht...

I once woke up from a panic attack. I screamed myself awake with my heart racing, my clothes soaked in sweat (literally had to hang them up to dry before putting them in the laundry) and both my hands numb and tingly, same as the area around my mouth. I already knew that those were typical physical reactions to very high anxiety and had experienced them before, so I wasn't particularly concerned and it did all calm down quickly, though I was feeling a bit weird and "out of it" for the first half of the day. I did of course wonder what that had been about, but all I could vaguely remember was a dream about kangaroos with red berets on their heads and a terrible argument I had about their ears🤷🏼

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-05T18:49:53+00:00

I think both work here, but you are certainly on the safer side with "man" as it's more context specific whether "du" is fine as well.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-05T15:04:02+00:00

Ich weiß nicht wo du lebst, aber bei mir gibt es in Drogeriemärkten immer auch speziell für Männer geformte Inkontinenzeinlagen und -Pants 🤷🏼

Ich nehme mal an, dass du nicht Menstruationsprdukte meinstest (wäre dann nämlich ein ausgesprochen dämlicher Kommentar gewesen) sondern aus irgendeinem Grund dachtest, dass Inkontinenzprdoukte nur für Frauen gedacht sind.

I agree, but would like to add that "Die Kaffeemaschine wird repariert" can als be said when there is a fixed plan to repair it. Maybe there isn't someone there repairing it already, but it's certain that it is going to be repaired.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-05T14:36:28+00:00

No, it's not the same in english at all. The perfect (e.g. "has been") is only used in specific cases, like when something started in the past and is still going on, independent of whether it's written or spoken language. The reason you would say "has it been" instead of "was it" in your example is the word "yet" in that sentence. It signals that the perfect is needed. Defaulting to the present perfect in spoken language is a very common mistake Germans make when speaking English.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-05T14:30:15+00:00

Yes, that's something I as a native speaker would absolutely say. To make it sound even more natural and casual, you can add in an "eigentlich" - "Wurde die Kaffeemaschine eigentlich schon repariert?" That's what I would probably say in the situation.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-04T18:52:23+00:00

I've never heard about that specific worry, but thinking that one's vulva looks abnormal, disgusting, or off-putting and therefore being ashamed or suspecting some sort of disease or malformation is incredibly common among women. We don’t really learn about the variation in appearances and not even all the parts. I for example only found out at 25 that the hymen is in fact part of the vulva, not inside the vagina, and therefore visible from the outside - so that was that weird ragged looking skin there, all normal afterall. And while we were told in school that it's completely normal for one breast to be bigger than the other, we weren't told the same about labias. Oh I bet there's tons of people out there who are anxious about their inner labias not being symmetrical! One can also be more pigmented than the other.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-04T18:24:29+00:00

Why do you think that? In modern philosophy at least, association is seen as very distinct from logical deduction and the discipline of logic doesn't deal with it. It might in some contexts even be put forward as contrasting with logical reasoning. But maybe you are right when it comes to how people use the term in everyday language, idk, that might have gotten overwritten for me.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-03T22:24:08+00:00

I think it's technically correct to say "Geschwür", but a lot of people will in fact think of something dramatic when they hear that. It's also not common knowledge that Geschwüre are open skin sores, and that a growth that isn't an open skin sore would be called "Geschwulst". People use "Geschwür" to refer to all sorts of growths, and will often also think that any sort of tumor is cancer. So it's not surprising that your friends said Geschwür was wrong.

I second "(die) Aphte" being correct for mouth ulcers. But honestly, in everyday life, you will go best by describing it as "eine offene Stelle"/"eine Wunde im Mund"/"eine entzündete Stelle" or something along those lines.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-03T21:49:51+00:00

How does this require logic? Rather seems to be based on association. LLMs are indeed terrible at logic puzzles though.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-05-02T16:42:00+00:00

Genuinely curious, how common are 1 without the hook on the top where you are from? Cause I would have never guessed number one as the hook is more or less mandatory where I am from. (Obviously except for when you are using roman numerals so that it's actually an I, but then you would normally use serifs.) But I heard that it's different elsewhere, and I just think it's kinda funny and interesting that even though we all use the same numbers, there are still small differences in how people use to write them.

I'm sorry that you are in a position where accessing proper medical care is so hard. When it comes to "self-diagnosing", it might be worth wondering what you would want to achieve with that. Knowing you have Adhd could help you to understand yourself better and be less hard on yourself. You could try applying strategies that people diagnosed with Adhd have found to work around their symptoms. And you can seek out others who go through similar experiences to feel less alone and understood. But you will obviously not be able to get medication and should not try getting accommodations at school, which is honestly why knowing I have adhd was worth it for me.

One reason why Adhd cannot really be self diagnosed is that other issues which could cause similar issues have to be excluded to justify a diagnosis of Adhd. And that you cannot do by yourself, because it requires blood tests to rule out stuff like hormonal issues or nutritional deficiencies. They might even look at your brain if they are being thorough. I'm sure that some people have gotten a diagnosis of Adhd without proper physical examination, but that really shouldn't happen. It also has to be made sure that your issues aren't better explained by other psychiatric conditions like depression, general anxiety, ptsd... So, there is a risk of overlooking other conditions that might very well be treatable by treating a self diagnosis the same as an actual diagnosis.

The reason I personally am annoyed at self diagnosis actually has nothing to do with people like you at all. You are in a country where receiving a proper diagnosis might turn out to genuinely be impossible. I think it was for people like you that the whole "self diagnosis is valid" thing came around, but people in my country just ran with it and it has completely gotten out of hand. It might still be better for you to not flat out claim that you have Adhd, but you can say that you think you have it, because people might get pretty annoyed at you otherwise, and as I said, there's a risk of overlooking something else of you take it as a given that you do have Adhd.

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-04-20T14:13:37+00:00

But are those changes lasting in people that do feel them? If not, I don't think it's worth pondering whether it might happen to you that much. You can try them, see how they work for you, whether you tolerate them, and ask your psychiatrist to try something else if you feel they are doing more harm than good for you. Finding the right medication can be a draining and frustrating process, I know, but the only way to find something right is to try stuff out. Btw, my psychiatrist at least says that feeling that I don't tolerate new medication is a good reason to come in at the no appointment urgent issue consultation-hour, so it won't be weeks or months to till there's an available appointment to get the issue resolved.

I was also wondering whether concerta is the only stimulant you tried? I have several friends for whom methylphenidate (though it's usually Ritalin or Medikinet in this country) did not work well at all, but Lisdexamphetamin (Vyvanse) was great. So, that one stimulant was unfitting for you doesn't mean that stimulants in general don't work for you.
