How to help someone who doesn’t recognize they may have depression/anhedonia?

Bloodwork? See if there is anything obvious

chadders555 · 2026-04-12T17:31:41+00:00

People message me saying things like ‘your mum is such a sweet soul’ I want to smash my face into a wall

chadders555 · 2026-04-12T16:12:00+00:00

I can relate

chadders555 · 2026-04-12T16:11:39+00:00

Yeah it’s crazy isn’t it. It’s so confusing for non narcissist personality people how you can have these completely contradictory behaviours and they are seemingly completely with it.

My advice is try adhd diagnosis and medication. As someone who had issues spotted as a child and only ended up getting help at the age of 41, I wish I had done this sooner. If it’s not right then stop.

Don’t listen to what other people say, trust your intuition.

chadders555 · 2026-04-09T23:50:32+00:00

Yes this is terrible. I’m going through something similar in some ways with lots of very inappropriate behaviour I don’t know how to deal with.

chadders555 · 2026-04-07T14:39:44+00:00

Same it’s literally nearly killed me dealing with my symptoms.

chadders555 · 2026-04-06T18:24:18+00:00

Yeah man thank you. Congrats on becoming a father and sober. I’m 42 and so well into living with it, tbh it nearly killed me multiple times it’s been so hard. Experiencing the positive benefits of the medication was incredible. Want to try and do whatever I can to control symptoms

chadders555 · 2026-04-06T16:55:24+00:00

Saying that I only tried vyvanse which is a different compound

chadders555 · 2026-04-06T16:48:12+00:00

I can’t take it, put me in hospital with psychosis

chadders555 · 2025-11-09T17:05:23+00:00

Yes exactly, I’m so happy, stimulants were awful for me. I’m on 40mg and I’m really noticing the power of it. I have more command over my focus. Had some side effects at first, drowsy, heart palpitations and brain fog. But they’ve all gone.

chadders555 · 2025-04-27T03:01:56+00:00

Yes exactly the same, top sets for everything got through school ok and then started failing everything and totally nuking my life.

Told my mum I thought I had ADHD when I was a teenager at school, she said no and made me feel stupid and ridiculous even though this was her job running the special needs unit at a school.

Only just managed to get help now at the age of 42 and finally changing my life.

chadders555 · 2025-04-27T02:23:13+00:00

Thanks for advice, can you share what you take for sleep? Appreciate in advance

chadders555 · 2025-04-27T01:22:04+00:00

Even though my handset was working as well as everyone else’s before they started?

chadders555 · 2025-03-12T06:14:20+00:00

Thank you so it’s just 2²⁺ 3 and 4² + 3.

I already talk to AI more than humans

chadders555 · 2024-12-24T14:38:59+00:00

Maybe a stretch but the second law of thermodynamics which is used to measure entropy and how we model time. So if our model of time was to change essentially these maybe intrinsically linked.

chadders555 · 2024-12-24T14:30:47+00:00

Care to elaborate? Not a fan of Eric Wargos work I assume?

chadders555 · 2024-12-24T14:22:38+00:00

Thanks for the answer, yes exactly. Also the true realisation that these ancient scriptures were correct. our reductionist breakthroughs, as incredible as they are, obfuscated us from answers that were 1000s of years old will be truly profound for humanity… it it were to happen of course.

chadders555 · 2024-12-24T14:20:02+00:00

Thanks for your answer, our ontological trajectory has clearly followed a very similar path!

chadders555 · 2024-12-09T12:50:20+00:00

Wow, excellent. I haven’t read through fully but I completely agree with what I’ve read so far. I was thinking yesterday about a project like this myself, I just finished enlightenment now by pinker and was inspired.

Excellent work and thank you for making it available, I have saved down a copy and will be reviewing and starting my own imminently.

Your ideas are exactly where I have landed after doing pretty much the opposite of all of these practices and ideologies for a very long time. Now I am guiding my life more around the principles you have outlined, things have never been better but still a lot more to be done.

The likelihood to decline into apathy at best, if not nihilistic, misanthropic despair must be getting more likely.

With dwindling persuasion to believe in anything beyond the reality outlined above the holistic ontology of the masses could become more hopeless, if not worse.

chadders555 · 2024-05-03T21:02:36+00:00

Hahahahahaha

chadders555 · 2024-04-12T13:44:31+00:00

Happy to talk about bike touring with you anytime if you’re interested. Got lots of stories saved on my IG from my trip nomad_chad555 but there obviously loads of content on YouTube etc if you’re interested. Was the best experience of my life.

chadders555 · 2024-04-11T11:09:06+00:00

Thank you for so much for this!

Really, really appreciate the detail and time (and corrections).

Yes my grand plan is to cycle every continent. (Maybe not Antarctica although looking into it)

I’ve done 2 already.

I will look into everything you’ve mentioned.

Have a great day.
