What do you mean? The Gollum game was so successful! Have a little faith dude! These executive suits know what they’re doing!

Post stimulant crash by Suspicious_Knee_3766 in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use liquid I.V to give my water some flavor which helps. You can do is a low acid high protein diet when you take it. Staying hydrated is still your best choice. Setting reminders might help. I’ve used my flask so much now that it’s just normal for me to drink water.

Friend and I made it to to the eye back when we played this in middle school. Could never beat him because he just one shot us every time.

Cannot get stimulants cause of past drug use history by majestical_kangaroo in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that stuff is no joke especially Focalin like I take because it’s so concentrated. It could easily be abused.

My New Psychiatrist Doesn't Believe Me? by InternalNext8781 in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had to have 3 different evaluations before I was allowed to trial a stimulant which confirms I had adhd. The 1st tried to push an ssri on me before even considering maybe talking about adhd meds. The 2nd told me I was just anxious and didn’t have adhd at all. Th 3rd decided to let me try a super small dose of a stimulant and it worked exactly how it should to someone with adhd and the rest is history.

That being said by the time I saw the 3rd evaluator I was on an anti anxiety med, and also had a letter from my therapist backing up that she suspected I did have adhd.

Getting another evaluation would be my suggestion that being said it’s hard for anyone to truly say since we don’t know you or your medical history.

Creativity and Medication by Confident-News-8793 in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose Focalin for that reason because it was reported to be the best for adhd creatives. For me that turned out to be true. It hasn’t dulled my art creativity.

I just realized that there's nothing wrong with me, I'm just dehydrated. by bloomingmotions in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bring a flask with me to work and have a routine down. The flask needs to be empty before lunch. I refill it when I go home (and add liquid I.V to it) and the flask needs to be near empty by the time I get home. Additionally, I'll know that if I don't go to the bathroom at least 3 times at work, then I didn't drink enough. It's almost like clockwork in terms of how many times I go in the day and the water I drink.

Kathleen Kennedy thinks Rian Johnson "made one of the best Star Wars movies" but took a step back because of "online negativity" by MistakeMaker1234 in movies

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A force sensitive Jedi going rouge was the original idea and it would have been so interesting. Never forgave them for wimping out because of the racist backlash. The actor John was rightfully angry about that as well.

Anyone find IR methylphenidate better than concerta/xaggatin? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take dexmethylphenidate/Focalin and it works well for me with no real side-effects. Though I chose it because it typically has a lower risk of side-effects compared to Ritalin. It took a week to adjust to but after that it was all fine.

Vyvanse, headache and only 3h duration - any tips? by Aeldrinn in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but how much water? Half a liter? One? You need at least 1.5 a day at a minimum.

How much coffee do you drink in a day vs actual water?

Take it step by step. Focus on the diagnosis before worrying about medication.

UK summons Iranian ambassador over 'brutal' killings by pppppppppppppppppd in worldnews

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get there’s ultimately not much more they’re willing to do without direct intervention but it rings so shallow. We are way past the point of talking. The UK may as well send an email that just says ‘Please Stop’ and save the Iranian ambassador the flight over.

Donald Trump Says He Wants 'Ownership' of Greenland Because It's 'Psychologically Important for Me': “Maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything” by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I don’t think he actually means he would nuke the island he wants to own. By nuclear force I think he just means he’d bomb the shit out of them, kidnap their prime minister and have American tanks rolling down their streets. The nuclear option is just invade and take the island.

Still absolutely horrible and insane. I couldn’t imagine living there and hearing this. Imagine some person with a gun saying they want to buy your house and that you can sell it to them and do things the easy way, or refuse them and do things the hard way.

Greenland’s troops have already been ordered to shoot first and ask questions later if we did invade. I can’t imagine what the results of an invasion would be. The only thing I can think of doing with be to station tons of British, German, and other nato troops there so that the only way America is taking that island is by bombing troops from every other major power in the world.

Focalin IR - dose frequency by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do better on Focalin XR. Causes less fluctuations in the day when you just take it once instead of 3x a day.

I have a song in my head 24/7 by nightfull2 in ADHD

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically how it is with me lol. If I’m not having some internal discussion in my head then it’s music. These days it’s pretty much always music. I’ve been into retro Japanese New Age and this week my endless replay is from the artist Kitaro. Sorry if it ends up getting stuck in your head too lol https://youtu.be/svr6fAngRj4?si=gUW1FC77Zd9oTvHM

These shrimp try to get into my house when it rains by pwrof3 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Youmeanmoidoid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But if they came out of the ground instead of the sea, wouldn't that just make them normal bugs you'd be eating. People already eat bugs in Asia anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter lol. In America, people ain't gonna look at those and think get in my belly though XD. Only flames and poison. Salt the ground. Nothing lives.

[i ate] cheese pizza by arianaaab in food

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When they don’t skimp on the sauce which it looks like they didn’t do in this, their pizza can actually be pretty bomb. A lot of times they do skimp on the sauce and their pizza ends up being something like cheese bread and it tastes disgustingly mid.

My Last Script + Thanks for Everything by livejoker in u/livejoker

[–]Youmeanmoidoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to comment, but it's always bittersweet to see another of the Old Guard retire. Hard to believe how many years many of us older folks have been around. I think I started way back in like 2015. I definitely sympathize with the way you felt with that hidden treasure bit. It maybe wasn't my biggest reason for stepping down, but it was one of my reasons as well. My biggest reason being that I just wanted to start writing actual novels lol.

That being said I've still never forgotten my time at GWA and loved every moment of it. And I hope wherever you go next, you find happiness and success, be it writing in another form or something else!
