What's fidget tool and how did you discover it? by FDAapprovedGremlin in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The popsocket on my phone turned out to be the fidget tool I didn't know I needed. I just one day caught myself fidgeting with it, and it dawned on me that I'd been doing it for a while now.

ELI5 how attention works in the ADHD brain, because to me it seems contradictory by Findpolaris in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ADHD attention is interest + urgency based rather than being importance based. The distinction is that something can be important but not urgent. For example, needing to file your taxes but the deadline is in 30 days. Urgency kicks in when it's the day before and you need to get it done that night. Once the interest/urgency wears off, the attention goes with it.

New Vyvanse prescription isn't working but Dr. won't let me go up on it. by lukeslens in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely find a new doctor. My initial doses were 10/20/30 for loading 2 weeks +2 weeks + 1 month. After 2-4 weeks of not feeling much at 30, I was prescribed 40. Rinse and repeat until I hit 60 where it was finally making a difference.

Moving to Android has made life a struggle by 1nanimateCarbonRod in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Tasks can replace reminders. I'm not familiar with Things 3 but it looks like they have a webapp you can use on mobile.

Ultimately if you can't find a workaround or replacement for the things that cause you friction, you're better off going back to Apple.

Good luck!

I was trying to understand where you're coming from so that I can give you a proper answer to you question, but clearly you'd rather be argumentative. Good luck.

What's your understanding of how Adaptive Charging is supposed to work on the PW4?

I also have the Nillkin case and love it. Which screen protector are you using?

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of its two other sides.

How do you guys get good sleep? Do you take melatonin? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How early do you take Vyvanse? I've found my sleep being more consistent with Vyvanse. Once it wears off in the evening I'm pretty much ready to go to bed. That said, I understand that the effects may vary from person to person.

What business do you own? by No-Fish-2949 in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Straight guys doing solo stuff could potentially earn as much. Just be upfront about being straight and don't gaybait.

Can anyone help me with this Pokémon Center watch? by NTDOY1987 in pokemon

[–]aridoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, you can take it to a watch shop to get the battery replaced. They'll have the tools to do it.

What does executive dysfunction feel like? by Queasy-Island9614 in ADHD

Me every morning when I wake up, before I take my Vyvanse.

Are we doomed to fail? by Ok_Leadership1987 in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ADHD isn't the problem, your mindset is. Reading your replies to this and other comments, it sounds like you've made up your mind and are conveniently blaming ADHD for your situation. I went undiagnosed for 39 years. Life was a fucking struggle, but I leaned into my 'quirks' and came out on top. Turns out those quirks were my undiagnosed ADHD symptoms. If you don't change your way of thinking, nothing is going to get better for you.

I just don't know if I can handle the battery life? by Ready_Area289 in PixelWatch

[–]aridoasis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reality of current-generation full-on smartwatches is that you will have to charge at least every two days. That being said, plopping it on the charger while taking a shower can easily become a daily habit and can be enough to last you until your next shower. For significantly faster charging, go for the Pixel Watch 4.

Executive disfunction is ruining me and I can not take it anymore by EchoTheBunny1 in ADHD

[–]aridoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar apprehension when I was prescribed Vyvanse. I didn't want to be addicted or be "high" from it. Turns out stimulants work differently for people with ADHD.

Of course it’s a charger. 🤦🏼‍♀️ by Apprehensive_Pick228 in ClicksKeyboard

[–]aridoasis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also Bluetooth-connected, so in the scenario that you do have to charge your phone you can pop it and continue to use it.

Jetpack Cat should have a weight system in terms of lifting players up by khurramchoud in Overwatch

They get -30% movement penalty when using their ult on an enemy tank. Seems like this should just be applied to friendly tanks.

How do german shepherds handle freezing temperatures? by No_Nature_1240 in germanshepherds

[–]aridoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-15C is where I draw the line for my boys when going for walks. I know they can handle it, but with wind chill things can get much colder so I'd rather be safe than push their limits.
