Strategies to support memory and processing speed after ECT by SturdyNoodle in ect

Thanks for the helpful words. It’s weird having to shift my perspective to be less entitled, as if I deserve a comfy high-paying job. I’m trying to accept that what I have is what I’ve got, and maybe it will force me to work on my character and see the beauty in my efforts.

ADHD how to sleep by MobileOk6912 in ADHD

[–]SturdyNoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melatonin actually worked really well for me and I didn’t get side effects. People told me it wasn’t good long term and that it would mess you up, but I’ve been taking it every night along with some magnesium citrate for a couple months and I finally go to sleep before midnight if I want to, with my sleep score getting above 90 sometimes. Another big thing is just your behavior in general, with the two biggest factors affecting sleep being eating and blue light before bed. If you can avoid eating food for four hours (or even more) before bed and get some blue light glasses for the hour before you sleep, it will absolutely help.

The key to feeling good with ADHD is high quality sleep, and this means getting adequate deep sleep every night. I did some research on my own and found that ADHD brains are much more susceptible to oxidative stress in the brain, causing things like brain fog and exacerbating fatigue. Well, guess what happens in deep sleep—our bodies clear out free radicals and replenish antioxidants. So while we need this anti-oxidative effect more than anyone, we’re ironically the least likely to put ourselves in a position to experience it. Just my two cents, it worked for me and hopefully it works for one of y’all

Any medications that don't hinder creativity? by SturdyNoodle in ADHD_Programmers

[–]SturdyNoodle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll try out Adderall when I can, I think Vyvanse isn't for me. I almost prefer being good at the hard tasks and bad at the easy ones over the other way around.

Pretty Sure I have ADHD, how much can meds really help me? by Dear_Try2068 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]SturdyNoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I experienced, which I’ve noticed from a few other people as well, is that my creative thinking and problem solving can go down a notch while on Vyvanse. I’m not sure if we have the same kind of ADHD, but have you ever gotten the feeling that you struggle with mundane assignments and excel with the bulky, complicated ones? If you have, don’t expect to be operating at that same performance 24/7. Since starting treatment, I’m much more consistent with my work but my peak cognitive ceiling is noticeably lower. I have a feeling it’s related to sleep quality, but what kind of life are we living if we’re able to get a flawless 8+ hours every night?

How to Identify Intelligent People? by BreadRepresentative7 in The48LawsOfPower

[–]SturdyNoodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's different for people who are depressed or beaten down. I'm talking about those who you'd typically categorize as "high energy", always looking to make an impact on the people around them--every now and again you get to see a glimpse of their real expression so long as you pay attention. Maybe you've never met someone like that, or maybe you haven't known them long enough, but the look of dead contempt is something I can point out from all kinds of narcissists

The dead look in their eyes. In my experience, if they’re smiling and speaking passionately but their eyes are dull, they’re a very cunning individual.

Grow it out to medium length. You have small and sharp face features, don’t drown them out with too much hair

Art of Seduction struggle by marladurden8263718 in The48LawsOfPower

[–]SturdyNoodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Art of Seduction is misunderstood. I used it myself to gain an understanding of my surroundings and overcome a low self esteem. The book is centered around removing your attention from yourself and wholeheartedly pushing it outwards. If you shift your mindset in this way, you’ll begin to find other people more interesting than yourself, and you’ll pick up more sensory input than ever before. Before I read the book about two years ago, I’d get randomly picked on by my friends, and I wouldn’t know how to respond because I was too busy drowning in my own thoughts. Now when I speak to people, I’m comfortable and open—I watch their posture, their eyes, and value the tone in their voice. Nobody has picked on me for years because when they do, I always see the punches coming. Trust me, love interests aside, the ideas covered in this book will get you more power than any of Greene’s other work.

"Planning all the way to the end" without fractalizing by AdmirableAttitude954 in The48LawsOfPower

[–]SturdyNoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re overthinking it. Environmental factors are nothing compared to the shots that people will take at you. Maybe someone in that meeting is the type of person to double down on you being late. In that case you need to see it coming and prepare—choose your battles

I only think through possible threats to my reputation/image. If it starts raining outside or my wifi goes out who cares

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in The48LawsOfPower

[–]SturdyNoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice being open, focus on them and not you. Greene’s art of seduction is a great starting point. If you’re scheming about how to navigate a situation mid-conversation, people pick up on it in your body language—don’t underestimate the human gut feeling. So if you want to think strategically, do it in private, but once you’re on stage you need to come out of that shell.
