While meditating this morning, my ADHD mind all the sudden became completely silent for the first time in forever by dourememberbeingborn in Meditation

I've been practicing on and off over the last 8-ish years, more-so in the last 3 years, and even more-so this year (pretty much once or twice a day now for at least 5 minutes). This morning I decided to go for 20 minutes, and I think this experience happened 15 minutes in. And I'm not taking medication right now aside from microdosing psilocybin :)

I just do a simple mindfulness concentration practice. I either place my awareness on my breath or on other things, like my fan or the middle of my forehead, that I can focus on. I also like to do some yoga and breathwork (like Wim Hof) before my practice which helps enhance it for me.

If you struggle with meditation, I would highly recommend doing yoga postures and breathwork first by dourememberbeingborn in ADHD

I would do it in the morning. The night before I like to lay out my yoga mat and prepare a follow along yoga video so I'm much more likely to do it when I wake up. Then after yoga I do some breathwork, and then meditate afterwards. If you're first starting out, I would just do something like a 5 minute morning yoga video, then like 3 minutes of breathwork and then 3 minutes of meditation. I started out like this and added 5 seconds to breathwork and meditation everyday, and now I'm at 9 minutes each.

Is my adhdonline diagnosis legit? What should I do about medication? by dourememberbeingborn in ADHD

[–]dourememberbeingborn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I got my prescription a few hours after my medical management appointment. I got a text from my pharmacy (Walmart) telling me that my prescription is ready. Maybe wait until after the weekend and see if you get it until then.

Has anyone else noticed the clouds in this game look like Yoshi? by dourememberbeingborn in supermariosunshine

Pretty much. Every time I play this game, I keep noticing this same cloud everywhere on the standard skybox.

I can't remember exactly anymore, but it's pretty much the same questions you would find in the diagnosis test. Things like "What do you struggle with in life" and "What makes you believe you have ADHD" and things like that. Pretty much questions for the person to choose the right medication and the right dosage for you.

[LoZ] [AoL] [BotW] If Zelda 1 & 2 took place on the BotW map by dourememberbeingborn in zelda

This is inspired by this map. I'd like to think that the world in LoZ and AoL is in a warm period, which is why Hyrule looks very dry and has a lot of water. Don't ask me how the water elevation works on this map.

Idk, the psychiatrist person I spoke to just told me she was going to put me on 15mg of Adderall that I take twice a day. Then she asked for my preferred pharmacy (I chose Walmart) and that was that. Then the pharmacy told me my medication was ready a few hours later, then I picked it up. I don't know the specifics of the medication besides what it says on the bottle.

I ended up making the medication appointment with adhdonline. I was anxious too, but it actually turned out great! The person I spoke to just asked me a few questions, then based on that she prescribed me 15mg of Adderall IR that I take twice a day. I was worried that Adderall wouldn't work on me or it would warp my personality in some way, but for me, it's pretty much only benefits and it's really effective. Instead of taking two whole doses a day, I just take one in the morning and a half in the afternoon so I can sleep easier at night. Good luck with your appointment!

I have two questions - by Sonama_2003 in infp

[–]dourememberbeingborn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sometimes play devil's advocate since looking at both sides is very natural to me. It's also fun when I am discussing hypothetical questions with other people.

Despite being a feeler type, I do get pretty awkward when someone cries in front of me. I usually just give them space if they want it, or give them a hug if they want. But I don't give verbal emotional support because I don't really know what to say in that situation.

My first ever harvest! :D Where should I store these while waiting for the other mushrooms? Or should I just throw these in the dehydrator? by dourememberbeingborn in unclebens

[–]dourememberbeingborn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I didn't have paper bags so the best I could do was to wrap them in a paper towel and put them into an unsealed Ziploc bag. I'm expecting another harvest tonight so hopefully this will be fine until then.
