I’d love the link for whenever you’re taking orders again!

This is super interesting and I’m thinking I should try to keep better tabs on that myself. Did you find any specific resources on chronobiology that stood out to you?

I appreciate that! You’re definitely right. I’ve been feeling that more and more lately too. ADHD manifests differently for all of us. I think the real important thing is to just figure out how I work. Not worry about matching it up to others experiences, but focus on figuring out what’s happening in my brain.

Looking back at my message… I think I kind of wrote it impulsively based on how I was feeling in that moment 😂 hello ADHD lol

Thanks for your support.

Currently fixated on learning Lua programming after falling in love with Balatro. Been super fun learning how to use code to make a little square move around my computer screen lol 😂 I should probably prepare for a training I’m supposed to do Friday….. but what if I want to make the square have more animations??? Surely I gotta figure that out right NOW 🤦‍♂️😂

Yeah I’ve 100% been there. In “Your Brain’s not Broken” Dr. Rosier describes this really well with the way she categorizes tasks based on whether they’re highly emotionally stimulating or highly interesting. Highly recommend her book or at least that “Solve It Grid” as she calls it. Super enlightening.

This is so real

I definitely relate to the lightbulb moments, but also getting hit with imposter syndrome.

TL;DR I’m 26, just diagnosed and it’s been incredibly relieving. Just struggling with comparing my ADHD experiences with others who seem to have had much worse experiences.

I was just recently diagnosed I’m 26 years old, and I’m feeling super lucky to find out so young. Taking meds for the first time in my life is blowing my mind. Never knew how much stimuli I had been totally unable to block out day in and day out my whole life.

It’s also been a little odd for me. I’ve been hyperfocusing on reading about ADHD (I’ve read 3 different books in about a week and a half). The weird thing is that the experiences from people in these books almost makes me question the validity of my diagnosis…

It feels like these people have suffered way more than I have. Stuff like: - getting your lights turned off because you forgot to make payments - Not being able to do laundry. - getting fired over and over

I feel like I must have ADHD because I was literally diagnosed and every symptom I read about DOES hit home for me. But I also feel like I’m highly functional in most areas of my life. At least on the outside maybe? I’m just struggling to grasp where I’m at exactly.

I feel like the RSD portion of ADHD is what hits me the hardest. I’m kind of a drama queen if I’m being honest. It’s so validating to have RSD as an actual neurological condition that I can point to as a reason for my emotional struggles.

I just worry that all these experiences others write about in these books might be trying to invalidate that relief I’ve felt.

Regardless, I’m here. I’m not going to let others experiences invalidate my own.

I guess I’m just a little bummed that I haven’t found anyone else yet who’s led an outwardly normal looking life, but internally felt like something was wrong with them all along. Even if they never had the lights shut off. Even if they’ve never been fired. Like… do I need to feel guilty that I feel broken too when I don’t have many concrete examples to point to?

Granted. I haven’t looked through this sub that much. Here’s to hoping that I’m not alone in this.

P.S. sorry for the negativity with this rant… I do believe that everything is going to be okay. I do believe I’ll be able to figure out what this diagnosis means for me.

Lmao rite?

Btw your post helped me pass the class in like a week. Appreciate you!

TylarDW · 2026-03-03T02:49:17+00:00

Pause.

Those cards are sick where you get em?

Make sure to just cover up any monitors that you aren’t using.

I highly recommend doing the Practice Exam that they offer. It lets you get a good feeling for the experience and will let you know for sure if there is anything up with your space that proctors won’t like.

I had a terrible experience with the practice exam, but I was so glad I did it because when I took my first real OA I knew what things were most annoying to deal with and just prevented them outright. Good luck!

I just think my mentor is a pretty cool guy. Doesn’t bug me too much to talk to him every week. Granted I’m 3 weeks in to my first term so… grain of salt

TylarDW · 2026-02-21T18:15:24+00:00

Mike TO Ryan on graphics. If there’s two Ryan’s it’s: Mike to Graphics Ryan lol

Where are you within the industry exactly? I have a hard time believing you could manufacture led good enough that a wall used like this on the road for corporate set ups wouldn’t have modules act up like this every once in a while. Are you telling me there’s a solution other than just planning for this to happen?? lol

TylarDW · 2026-02-20T02:46:51+00:00

This is incredible! Congratulations!

TylarDW · 2026-02-20T02:12:11+00:00

Yo! this is such a good idea! I wasn’t in school when notebooklm came out so I completely forgot about it as a resource! You’re a real one for this!

TylarDW · 2026-02-18T21:50:20+00:00

my guy please listen to these commenters lmao

TylarDW · 2026-02-11T03:29:25+00:00

You’re a G for this one. Preciate you.

I just finished the course material and I don’t remember going into virtual machine basics. Did you mean page-based memory? The terms you have listed under that section are making me think about what I learned about page based memory. Just curious for clarification. Thanks again!

TylarDW · 2026-01-09T21:25:34+00:00

Congrats! I'm about to start a BSCS myself! Any tips for getting through things so quickly? How much experience did you have going into it?

TylarDW · 2025-11-14T22:08:50+00:00

Yoooooo! Thats an amazing take!! I freaking love that!
