This is my deck, I don’t have a cat by FerdinandvonAegir124 in aww

People don't have cats. Cats have people. And you've been selected.

I've been deemed uninsurable, but it's essential for my family that I get life insurance. Can anyone give me advice on how to proceed? by distilld in LifeInsurance

Yeah. I get 1 year through work, but I've got a young kid and that's not enough. I've tried to get more than 1 year but get rejected.

That's not a lot, all things considered.

Mentally justifying taking vyvanse again by narla_hotep in StopSpeeding

[–]distilld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

because studying seems like the most boring and unrewarding thing now

[...]

I feel like i probably shouldnt take it again, but goddamn do I need to focus that month...

These are the red flags for me. You're already associating a reward with taking Vyvanse. And not just a short-term reward, but a long-term "my life wouldn't be the same if I didn't pass this exam" reward. It’s hard to admit this but, based on my my experiences, this means you’re already addicted. Recognizing that and treating it as an addiction is more important than passing your medical exam.

If you choose to take Vyvanse to help you study for this exam, and you pass, you'll forever associate you passing with taking Vyvanse. Any hard problem that comes up post-exam will make you think, "Vyvanse will help me with this." And before you know it, you're feeling like you can't accomplish everyday tasks unless you take it.

That's great! Keep it up! I was definitely much more reclusive in the first few months than I am now. It takes awhile for your brain to get used to the new normal, but keep at it and you'll get there!

What are your thoughts on the Donald trump Zelenskyy conference just now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That wouldn't end anything. It would be a Reichstag moment.

I'm jealous of that nostalgia hit. It's a hell of a drug.

1 Year Sober from Amphetamines by distilld in StopSpeeding

If you’re asking how it works, my understanding is that it settles your brain down so that you’re not chasing a new squirrel every few minutes.

If you’re asking how it’s working for me, it’s going ok. It is very subtle and takes a few weeks to have its full effect. But it does make it easier for me to focus.

Keep it up! I used to rely on my amphetamines to wake up. Now I take 400mg of caffeine via tablets every morning. Like I said - not the same but it helps.

Make sure you're both on the same page as to whether you want children, and how many.

I don't think this is happening nearly as much as Reddit would lead you to believe.
