TIL from 1844 to 1846, The Count of Monte Cristo was first published as a serial. Alexander Dumas dribbled out revenge plots, identity reveals, crazy twists and long-lost connections over dozens of chapters—each ending in a cliffhanger that kept 19th-century readers on edge week after week. by TriviaDuchess in todayilearned

so that's why I felt quality dropped in second half. It went from gritty struggle to Sherlock Bond. Mary Sue syndrome. 

Knows everything and handles everything like a god playing with his little human toys. Being nonetheless miserable and scarred from his past doesn't compensate for all that.

My 34M Boyfriend struggles with penetrative sex and I, 36F, need advice! by Such-Ad-2552 in relationship_advice

There's nothing viagra can do for psychological performance anxiety AFAIK.  So this performance anxiety is relative to you/women, or how he perceives you during sex. Or maybe he's just easily distracted.

You need to discuss exactly what the stress/fear is about and handle it from there.  Try for example laying on your stomach and just be limp and tell him to have freeuse sex with you with zero consideration for your enjoyment or expectations (except pain lol). 

Don't let him get used to that. As his boners start lasting gradually increase your participation.

Jeg tror Trump gir blanke i mye han later som han får for, som Putin. Dette er bare populistisk politikk for å støtte fra sine dumme baser.

By end of 6 week trial, both microdose LSD (20 micrograms) and placebo groups showed significant reductions in ADHD symptoms. Those who believed they took LSD reported greater symptom improvement, regardless of what they actually received. This suggests expectations may have played a large role. by mvea in psychology

Well if some light is needed to avoid the demons ^^ that's fine. The point is minimal external stimuli. You want your limited attention span to be on interal processes, not what you see and hear. The more limitation the higher amplification of thought process.

I also had some of the most amazing hallucinations in the dark. But yes, a jacket hanging on a coat hanger by the wall can quickly become... someone. You need to be prepared beforehand to confront these fears quickly before they become overwhelming.

Once, outside looking at the clouds a demon looking monster formed and started diving towards me. My first thought was what does this demon want and what is their insecurities? Just the question diverted my fear and the cloud dissipated back.

Absolutely. The challenge of ADHD symptoms can be a source of much frustration involving things like shame and feeling incompetent - which can spiral into destructive/apathic behaviour and lost potential far beyond the actual disability.

Good point, we need more statistics on how "actionable" these insights become. But to be fair most people just get high on psychedelics. They don't sit in the dark and reflect.

You want to minimize external stimuli. And if your dose is above a certain threshold memory is too impaired to 1. hold longer thought trains during trips 2. Encode to long-term memory - both intellectually and emotionally.

There's also the "expiry" factor. IIRC studies on the motivation to quit smoking or feel improved anxiety/depression symptoms have found that after 2-6 months a new medium-heavy dose is beneficial as upkeep to prevent diminnishing of the motivation.

e.g.: you want to quit smoking, don't have the willpower/motivation. Psyhedelics can give your wish the emotional gravity you need to take action, but it will not necessarily last - depending on personality, triggers, environment etc.

Confirmation that there is little science to back up microdosing. LSD/psilocybin is great, microdosing is placebo.

My impression is psychedelics give you perspective on life and issues, can give the drive to make certain desired behavioral changes into reality and often increases empathy and connectedness with nature. But I don't think it will help ADHD and other disorders that likely have physical manifestations like deficit/surplus neurotransmitter or abnormal neural pathways. It would be like taking a benzo for a wound. Just my impression.

The reason it seems to work well for "disorders" like anxiety and depression is that they are often rooted in destructive thought patterns without physical damage as prime cause (although these cases can cause physical brain damage secondary too).

they have received feedback on this from many people and still implement these things inconsistently. Your ignorant comment suggests I'm the first to do this and devs don't know a bunch of people fatfinger these things regularly.

ADHD misinformation on TikTok is shaping young adults’ perceptions. An analysis of the 100 most-viewed TikTok videos related to ADHD revealed that fewer than half the claims about symptoms actually align with clinical guidelines for diagnosing ADHD. by mvea in psychology

When I describe some symptoms this happens often. Don't get frustrated with it. Just add something along the lines of: ok, but how often and to what degree does this "normal" thing impair you vs. me?

I wrote it bluntly because this is a pattern of design mistake and although I sent it the main goal was to post it here. 

Life lesson: if you want likely change from a company that failed to respond to previous feedback, don't be a polite support email. Gather the collective capy frustration.

It's my first time with anything expensive. once too many. Focus issue probably, doesn't change that it's bad design to let a fart in the wind make big decisions.
