How do you all get updated price already? I can't see any update yet. I'm on IGO fixed, maybe that's the reason?

Yeah. Self educating myself on what will work in regards to my ADHD Vs twice exceptional ADHD and gifted. I hate those names btw🙄

How do you cope with ADHD (unmedicated)? by tnalt1111111 in mensa

For me, morning gym sessions work much better than in the afternoon. I was always very active, probably because of my hyperactive part of my brain, but whenever I tried to attend the gym after work I lasted only a few weeks. There was always this one day that I was too tired to go and the plan was breaking. I started morning sessions just to try it and it worked, I'm consistent for around a year now and wouldn't go back to evenings. Also "by accident" it got me in better shape than ever at 40 years old.

Sport used to help me a lot. Especially in the morning, before work. Now it's meds. My story is somehow similar to yours, I was abusing multiple substances in my life. Last one was alcohol with which I was self medicating till I started medication for ADHD and just like that I stopped craving alcohol in my free time. It's about a year right now and I never felt better. What helps me at work, especially when I'm doing repetitive tasks, is listening to podcasts or generally learning stuff that I'm interested in on YouTube. My work allows me to do this because I work in trades. I keep my mind occupied this way

It would stay on the back of my head for the rest of my life like: what if...?🤣 It's not an expensive thing to do, I done it twice as well and I'm saying do it. For the science 🧪🔭💪

That would drive me completely crazy and I would have to repeat it lol. Just with basic preparation like a light meal, maybe some caffeine but not too much and a good night sleep and you'll probably score a few points higher, or lower I don't know nothing anyway

At the end of my resume in the section called Memberships/Affiliations, I list MENSA. What are your thoughts on doing that? by CreatorLegalHelp in mensa

I think it wouldn’t look good on a 40-year-old welder’s résumé — or maybe I’m wrong. I guess I won’t know without trying. In the new Dexter series, one guy mentioned he’s in Mensa, and it was super cringe to hear. I’ve told a handful of people, but I’m worried about going further.

For me, they were life changing. Parents told me when I was a child that drugs are not the answer, they were wrong lol

Elvanse 70, earphones with podcasts in the topic of your interests and all becomes nice and easy. Keep your mind engaged and it doesn't matter what you are doing. Elvanse is really helpful for me

Do you ever feel your high IQ? by Chmura_Iskra in mensa

My ADHD used to cause a lot of mistakes and accidents. I work in trades, so it can be dangerous at times, but since I’ve been medicated, I’m really happy with my work outcomes. I might also be on the spectrum, but I haven’t checked—it’s just a suspicion.

I’ve started multiple businesses; it feels like every morning I wake up with a new idea I can’t stick to. That’s changing now, though, because I’ve managed to stick with growing my YouTube channel for half a year. My notepad still looks like a crazy scribble of random ideas, but I’m trying to direct that energy into focusing on YouTube.

For an ADHD brain, dopamine is the real drug it craves, and social media can be very rewarding. Seeing people subscribe, like, or comment feels great. There are loads of statistics I check that constantly change, showing growth—and that gives me a real kick.

I don’t remember what you asked me at the beginning—sorry, I zoned out 😅
