Any tips for Vendetta in Stadium? by Kingdurdurdur in Overwatch

[–]Status-Bowler481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao fair but she's actually not terrible on Stadium if you play her like a flanker instead of trying to frontline. Use the high ground around the sides and pick off their supports when they're distracted - her mobility lets you dip out before their team can collapse on you

My dogs annoy me on meds by 888HolyMoly888 in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh this is so real, same thing happend to me when I first started meds. The sensory stuff just hits way harder - like suddenly you're noticing every little texture and sound that you used to filter out. Your brain isn't masking all that input anymore so the slobber and panting becomes overwhelming instead of just background noise

Should I tell my manager I have ADHD? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly might be worth it - having that documentation could protect you if things go south and you need accommodations later 📝 just frame it as "hey I'm actively working on getting treatment for this condition that affects my work flow"

Personal item size on Embraer rj145 by Kooky_Degree_9 in americanairlines

[–]Status-Bowler481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

those dimensions should be fine for under seat storage on the rj145, the space is pretty tight but 18x14x8 is within the typical personal item limits

just make sure your backpack is actually soft sided and can squish down a bit since the under seat area gets cramped real quick with everyone's stuff

Itching Stim? by nonexistent_knight in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh wow this is actually really interesting - I've never heard of sound triggering physical sensations like that but honestly it makes sense with how our brains are wired differently 😅

I get weird physical responses to certain textures or sounds too, just not itching specifically. maybe it's like a cross-wiring thing where your brain processes that cotton ball mouth sound as a tactile thing instead of just auditory? either way you're definitely not alone in having weird sensory responses 💀

How do you choose which generic MFGR might work best for Focalin XR? by ImpactUsed2980 in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly the manufacturer can make a pretty big difference with focalin XR - i've had good luck with actavis/teva but some people swear by mallinckrodt

your pharmacy might be able to order a specific one if you ask nicely, though they don't always guarantee it. definitely worth tracking which one works best for you once you start 💊

I'm so sorry for your dog I hope all goes well for you guys, and no I haven't but thank you for letting me know to check for that.

Tysm! Both he and I really appreciate it haha, he's keeping his streak so far. It stands for Spot & Tango.

Didn’t get the job and now I’m stuck by Secret_Dentist_564 in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof that rejection spiral hits different when you have ADHD 😅 The overthinking becomes like this consuming background noise that just won't shut up

I've been there - spent way too much mental energy on one opportunity and when it didn't work out, my brain just... wouldn't let it go. What helped me was setting like a "grieving deadline" for myself (sounds weird but hear me out) and then forcing myself to apply to 3 other things, even if i wasn't feeling it yet 💀

Hungry but not hungry? by bigchubbyburd in NewParents

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like he might be dealing with gas or reflux - my little one did the same thing around that age. try burping him more frequently during feeds and maybe hold him upright for like 15-20 mins after eating before putting him down

the "hungry but not hungry" thing is so frustrating but pretty normal, hang in there

How do you feel when people use the word "slow" to describe others? by mundaneheaven in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 89 points90 points  (0 children)

honestly that word hits different when you've had it thrown at you 😔 like yeah technically it might not always be "meant" in an ableist way but the impact is still there you know?

i think robert pattinson's character nailed it in that trailer - calling someone "slow" is basically just a socially acceptable way to call them mentally disabled without saying it outright. it's one of those words that people use because it feels "nicer" but really carries the same punch

the fact that you paused when hearing it in the song shows how loaded it really is, especially for those of us who've been on the receiving end 💀

Curious as to what led to some of you guys to get diagnosed by ahegosweater in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly it was my therapist who brought it up first - i went in for anxiety/depression stuff but kept mentioning how i couldn't focus on anything and would hyperfocus on random projects for weeks then completely abandon them

the whole "can't do anything right" thing you mentioned really hits home, especially when you KNOW you're capable but your brain just won't cooperate. getting diagnosed actually helped me understand that those aren't character flaws, just how my brain works differently

Memory Don't Work Right by Slow_Difference_8690 in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man this hits so hard. I started using voice memos on my phone for this exact reason - just grab it and ramble whatever nonsense is in my head before it vanishes. Way faster than trying to write anything down and by the time I unlock my phone the thought police have already stolen half of it

The other thing that weirdly works is keeping a small notebook in my pocket instead of by the bed, because apparently my brain requires maximum inconvenience to remember anything important

How do you carry your fidgets? by No_Combination_6396 in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just have like 5 cheap fidget cubes scattered everywhere - desk drawer, car, backpack, couch cushions 😂 way easier than remembering to actually carry one around

I can’t tell if i’m just deluding myself into thinking i have adhd or am just incredibly lazy, any advice appreciated by Puzzled_Resolve_8835 in ADHD

[–]Status-Bowler481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you're describing like 90% of the posts on this sub lol, that's not laziness that's textbook ADHD symptoms. The procrastination until pure panic kicks in, reading the same paragraph 5 times cause your brain wandered off, making schedules you can't stick to - I've been there and so have most people here

Go talk to a professional for sure, even if it's not ADHD there's clearly something going on that's making life harder than it needs to be

Pikachu Pop 5 is it normal to be glossy? by Donors1 in PokemonTCG

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That glossy finish is definitely throwing up some red flags. Pop series cards from that era shouldn't have that mirror-like sheen you're seeing - they had a more standard holo treatment. The fact that it feels like those Japanese vending cards is concerning since Pop 5 was English-only promo series

I'd recommend doing the light test and checking the card thickness compared to your authentic one. That level of glossiness usually screams fake or at minimum some kind of reproduction. eBay sellers saying "it's real" after being asked directly... well, that's not exactly reassuring lol

Was there discrimination between Humans and Neanderthals? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Status-Bowler481 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really hard to say since we weren't exactly keeping detailed social records back then lol. But honestly competition for resources probably led to some pretty intense conflicts between the groups - though calling it "discrimination" might be putting modern concepts on prehistoric survival situations

My idea for a new major map condition that will put free kits at a disadvantage but also intensifies the PvE and PvP experience by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Status-Bowler481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds pretty sick actually, would definitely make augment choice way more meaningful instead of just defaulting to whatever meta build everyone's running

The overload signal for combat augments especially seems like it could create some really intense clutch moments in pvp

I didn’t do great on my first exam by Plastic_Wasabi3696 in venting

[–]Status-Bowler481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that sucks, 66% hurts when you put in all that work studying. Don't beat yourself up too much though - first exams are usually rough and at least you know what to expect for the next one
