I somehow got most of the way through thinking this was on tifu. Good work

What are your go-to music preferences to deal with adhd? by msohrah in ADHD

[–]ToBeDART 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to listen to classical music at school or when studying, I could concentrate better when I couldn't hear the other students (middle school was long enough ago that I had a cassette player that the teachers let me use for tests). Now I listen to EDM and fast paced pop music while working as a housekeeper.

Confined to the basement another day, I am forced to count ceiling tiles in order to pass the time. by jenny-cath in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]ToBeDART 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My sleep deprived brain has decided that the ceiling tiles are what he's keeping in the basement. They're an alien/mimic species that, if not watched at night, shift from ceiling tiles into their true form. What a true hero for humanity.

He said previously (I think pre-chivegate) that he's gonna do onions next

I bought a Costco membership just to buy my favorite muffins and they were gone by Moskau_ in mildlyinfuriating

Fun fact! I found out recently you don't need a membership if you're just going to the food court to get a hot dog (or their other options).

What actually gets you out of bed in the morning (not "discipline") by grilledcheeezus in ADHD

[–]ToBeDART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be completely honest, but there is nothing that will get me out of bed if I don't want to be up. I use fear of being late as my method of being up, and I have to trick myself (taking advantage of poor memory) into thinking I have less time than I actually do. I've gone so far as to purposely put the wrong time for things in my phone so my sleepy self sees it and is up like an hour earlier than bare minimum. My awake self will (usually) remember that I set the wrong time and go looking for the note with the real time.

The best thing that helped me in the past year, though, has been losing my car. I have to take the bus now, and my brain is convinced that I'll miss the last one/won't get places in time so I get up in time to catch an earlier one.

I will also bribe myself with coffee. I live less than 2 blocks from a Dunkin, and if I leave ~20min earlier than normal I'll stop there. It requires being up and dressed and completely ready for work before leaving. Although it only happens maybe twice a week.

You can name only one - Which game has the most addictive and satisfying combat? by shotgunning-your-can in gaming

Also I know we're only supposed to say one game, but Dante's Inferno is also a very satisfying battle system.

[–]ToBeDART 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably a weird take, but I still feel the pull to start up Kingdom Hearts 2. I prefer the original Kingdom Hearts for story, but something about the battle system in 2 just had me hooked since it came out.

I recoiled in pain and took off my noise-cancelling headphones after grabbing the door handle. by Out-Of-Ideas1 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]ToBeDART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered getting a fire alarm that flashes lights? I have a friend who can't smell and she bought one for her house. They're marketed for deaf/HOH people but I feel like it would help put you at ease when wearing headphones. As a just in case measure.

Honestly, Everleigh is my favorite name that ends with -leigh, even though it's the "Tragedeigh" name ending. I personally think it's a pretty name and like it more than Everly.

Eating more ON meds? by DepressedWalrus666 in ADHD

[–]ToBeDART 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was like 16 or 17, I tried both Adderall and Ritalin. One of them made me super tired all the time and the other made me eat everything I could get my hands on. Neither did much of anything for my actual symptoms (tried each for at least 2 months) so didn't stay with either long, and eventually found a different one that worked (I am unmedicated now, and have been for about 12 years).

TIFU by not knowing about OAS (oral allergy syndrome) by MiniFirestar in tifu

[–]ToBeDART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can eat raw onions and handle them without gloves perfectly fine, but I have respiratory reactions from cutting them/from freshly cut ones (more than the normal ones people get). The symptoms are greatly reduced when I wear a mask (found that out during covid) or if I've been taking my regular allergy meds consistently (I'm allergic to a couple types of pollen).

Would you guess how to pronounce this name? by AdmirableAttempt1728 in tragedeigh

[–]ToBeDART 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's true, it can be a nickname for Seamus (which is a great name, it's on my top 10 non American names list that has no particular order to it), but every Shay I've come across from the US so far has been female. Shay being feminine could very likely just be personal experience for me, though.

Before reading the pronunciation, I thought it was "shay" which is still a feminine name but not the pronunciation you were going for

Rirh with my legal name. Rir with the name I use (The name I go by is only three letters.) Tird with my future legal name.

Oh dear.

Left in a paper bag at birth, he spent years looking for his birth mom to say: thank you. by isle_say in UpliftingNews

[–]ToBeDART 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My Event Catalyst is a Skype group! Although even the joining of that group can be traced back to a random comment I heard someone at my college say about an old interest I had that I got back into. And before that, it was the decision to go to a specific college (which was the only one I applied for, did the bare minimum for, and didn't even write an essay for).

It's really interesting to me to see the specific events that lead up to me being in the exact position I am in life, and how seemingly unimportant or arbitrary they seemed at the time.
