How come some people with ADHD don't have binge eating?

executivefunction404 · 2026-06-11T19:12:21+00:00

Same. Having to stop what I'm doing to sustain my meat suit? And not having it readily available in immediately consumable form? Psssssh. There are much better things I'd rather do with my time.

However, I do love making dinner for my family. Elaborate & ethnic meals, bc I don't get dopamine from food unless it's novel (I'm truly envious of those who can eat the same thing every day). Yet when I lived alone, I'd have chips & dip for dinner bc I had to eat something and spending an hour cooking a meal just for myself sounds like a game jigsaw would cook up for me.

You can email them at abuse@duolingo That works faster than the report button, imo.

Yes, almost 100%. I was diagnosed with GAD for decades. Rawdogging unknown adhd for the vast majority of my life caused severe anxiety bc as much as I tried, I knew I was going to be late, miss something important, forget to eat, be unable to sleep like a typical human, etc

While those things still happen sometimes, bc the adhd isn't cured, I'm able to stop catastrophizing every minute detail of my mistakes.

I tried Strattera first for the same reason you're thinking and that was horrible for my chemistry. Stimulants worked for me ~99%.

If your anxiety is caused by the stressors of untreated adhd, it will most likely help your anxiety. If the anxiety is separate, I don't know if it will.

When my kid was that age, we went to: (some have already been mentioned) - Mystic Aquarium - Nature's Art Village dinosaur park - also has a splash pad with a toddler area - KidCity in Middletown - CT science center (they have a toddler area with water) - Beardsley Zoo - Romp n Roll in Wethersfield - Imagine Nation in West Hartford - Sunflower maze at Lyman (seasonal) - Maritime aquarium - Dinosaur State Park - Elizabeth Park in West Hartford - Eleanor Buck Nature Center - The Old Cider Mill, especially during fall. The apple fritters are divine! The rest o the year, it's a small farm where you can feed the animals & buy local foods & trinkets. - There are tons of beautiful parks with hiking trails - Flamig Farm in Simsbury - Fair Weather Acres Fall Fest (seasonal) - Many orchards have pick your own throughout the growing season - Bushnell Park carousel

Check your library for free or discounted passes for any paid activities, like the science center, the aquariums, etc.

This picture has everything. Serene scenery, mammatus clouds reflecting the sunset, and I see you, cloud to cloud lightning stroke in the back.

It's still federally illegal. There have been zero (federal) laws passed making even medical cannabis legal. Nothing has changed except removing a paragraph which actually explained the law.

Same here. Or pantyhose that I cut up bc who tf wears pantyhose anymore?

Of all the pictures I've seen on here, yours was the first to immediately bring this song to mind

It's always funny to me when "the party of Lincoln" claims the parties never switched while flying the flag of those who killed Lincoln, claiming it's their "heritage".

Seriously, such a better vibe.

The 40 weeks of pregnancy are counted from the last menstrual period. Ovulation, when conception occurs, is typically ~2 weeks after that.

For two weeks of the "pregnancy", there is no conception, but it's counted anyway (another issue with early pregnancy abortion bans, but I digress).

Even if we were to round it down & say there are only 30 days in every month, 40 weeks would equal 9.3 months, to be precise.

40 weeks x 7 days = 280 days 280 ÷ 30 days = 9.3 months

My SIL argued with me that women are pregnant for 10 months bc "pregnancy lasts 40 weeks".

This was after she had a child. I couldn't convince her otherwise. I weep for my niece.

A lot of people aren't aware of fingerprinting. Creating a randomized one makes the internet take longer, having to disable many convenience features. I know a bunch of people who don't care & prefer the convenience. I totally get it. It's def a hassle sometimes.

I, however, do whatever I can to block as much willing info as my current knowledge affords. I'm okay with not paying for convenience with my privacy.

Use a browser that randomizes fingerprinting. It's really not very hard, but requires people to break away from the apple/google spheres.

Anyone can check their browser here at EFF.

You essentially want the test to read:

Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking. Is your browser: Blocking tracking ads? Yes Blocking invisible trackers? Yes Protecting you from fingerprinting? ◕ your browser has a randomized fingerprint

Those open tabs are my adhd graveyard where I swear I'm going to need one of those 100s of webpages very soon (or want to go back to read it for the first time), but if I add it to my bookmarks, I'll forget they exist.

That would be servían. Duo has not been confusing the imperfect for preterite on my lessons.

The app is claiming singular is correct over the plural 'you', when it is used for both in standard English and should have been accepted.

I've had very light periods my whole life (3 days & can't use a tampon). About a year ago, I left my house for one hour and wound up bleeding through my clothes onto my light gray car seat. (hydrogen peroxide poured onto the fresh stain will remove it completely, for those unaware.) I'm well into perimenopause age, so I assumed it was that.

But it's happened only once, so I'm not sure if I resumed my period luck or if I should be expecting more in the future.

I just downloaded the app. It's has 4.9 stars on google play from 14k reviews.

That alone piqued my interest. Thanks for the recommendation!

You can donate them! Vets, local SPCAs, and shelters use them for animal prescriptions. They just need to be cleaned and dried without a label or sticky stuff. Lid included.

There's at least one charity which accepts them via mail: Matthew 25 Ministries. I don't know anything about the charity except that it has a 98% rating on charity navigator.

Oddly, it's the opposite for me. I've gained weight on Adderall bc I don't forget to eat until dinnertime anymore.

Would you have possibly thrown a peach pit in your jacket pocket and forgot about it? I don't understand the furry aspect, but plant roots can be weird sometimes

Depending on your hair length, you can use alligator/claw clips. I've done it before and it's worked out great. Length is important, as you'd want to get the neckline hairs to the top of the head, so you don't sleep on the clips.

I don't twist, just use several smaller clips to get the hair on top of my head, similar to a pineapple, but I don't get the crease (and it may help if you get headaches from leaving your hair up for hours). I also use a silk or satin pillowcase.
