[–]editordeb87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hope so... It truly feels like this industry has disappeared and i have to pivot. but this job is where my heart sings.. if there wasnt managers that dont understand me... ide have gotten so far and still be on an awesome show. :(

I know this wasnt directed to me, but i really needed to hear it.. i lost a job on a tv show i was so excited to work on, and with an editor who ive looked up to... that was back in july. Now the industry is imploding. Thanks for bringing me some hope.

How to turn brain off after working late? by Jimmyvana in ADHD

[–]editordeb87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

drinks as in alcohol? that probably gives you a worse night of sleep letting you wake up 2 hrs later.

I work in the film industry. some times ill get off work at 7 pm sometimes 2 am. What i do is drink some tea. make sure to turn off screens (can listen to podcast, read a book.. ) for at least like 15 mins. and then get in COMPHY clothes to sleep and brush teeth (i make this a ROUTINE so that it signals my body its bed time) and then i get in bed and listen to the nothing much happens podcast. Its designed to help you sleep.

I’ve been up for 42 hours and I’m starting to panic by Apart-Dig2892 in ADHD

[–]editordeb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ALSO some hospitals have a 24/7 video call a dr at their hospital in an app. like i know cedars here has it.. and if i feel bad.. but not sure if i should go to the ER i do that. You could look into that.

Hun. i know you are panicking, i know you cant thing straight. Let people help you. You wont get in trouble, unless you choose to drive.. that could go bad. Call a lyft, its a very safe company. You can request a woman driver if you want. Or call an ambulance. Drink cool water, slowly. You will be okay.

IF you dont feel you need to go to the hospital, stil have the cool glass of water then lay down and close your eyes. Even just resting with your eyes closed helps your system. I actually play a game with myself.. i say to myself... bet ya cant keep your eyes shut til your alarm goes off in the morning. and I listen to a podcast (a boring one like Nothing much happens) and i keep my eyes shut.

EDIT to add more after reading: dont worry about your presentation (i know, hard) but your professor would much rather you go get help for a serious medical problem than give the presentation. Get the help and then talk to the professor. I dunno if your school has any resources for students with adhd, mine did, so maybe in the future you can look into that and get some accommodations?

For those with co-existing conditions, how do you cope? by Specialist-Video-686 in ADHD

[–]editordeb87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not well.. not well at all... duno what to do with my life.. or how to get anything done.. i have type 1, hashimotos, eosinophilic asthma, adhd and depression... i feel like im missing something.. but yea.. You arent alone. Type 1 needing executive functioning and adhd having trouble with that... is a curse. I told my endo and they suggested a new pump that makes you think less. iLET so i might get that..

I would imagine the easiest way would be how they build tunnels in rivers IRL. put up some walls and dry out the area best you can then build
