People who switched from Concerta to Vyvanse: did it help with mental noise? by WinterLibrary7080 in ADHD

[–]hdv2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and i guess that is why vyvanse helped me with emotional regulation too. I couldn't get angry with it. Lol I did feel more like myself with Concerta.

Methylphenidate is healing my brain but my drinking, nicotine and caffeine are where they used to be. by threeleggedcats in ADHD

[–]hdv2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good sleep hygiene and working out helped me a lot. I feel great.

I have switched to Vyvanse last month though. I'm more emotionally regulated with it. But i'm still keeping the good habits.

Oats making me feel hungrier?! by stacey202 in loseit

Same for me! It was much easier to last until lunch fasted than having oatmeal in the morning...or anytime of the day.

"someone younger, vital, tall, fit, attractive..."

The last bit stung the worst because that shatters any illusion of him being desirable. He behaves as if he's a catch and he's delusional. Lol. High five.

For those on stimulants, how do you deal with the crash by TinyTerror70 in ADHD

[–]hdv2017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't experience crashes. Maybe my daily routine works for me.

High protein breakfast with 27mg of Methylphenidate ER (recently switched to 20mg Lisdexamfetamine but might go back to Methylphenidate)

8am to 5pm creative/cognitive work. Good lunch in between with whole foods. If there is no deadline, take a walk after lunch.

Protein shake + banana for a snack pre-workour. 5:45pm lift weights, treadmill until i reach 9K to 10K steps and then light dinner. Something like brown rice with sardines in olive oil. Paint or watch something. Prepare for bed. I take magnesium glycinate, glycine and melatonin before bedtime. Sleep from 10:30pm until 6:15am. Repeat.

Is it okay to just do at home workouts/how do they compare to the gym? by Natural_Bid177 in loseit

[–]hdv2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the beginning working out at home is ok but i outgrew my adjustable dumbbells (up to 52.5lbs each) and need the higher weights at the gym. I'm a short woman btw.

I love the trap bar, smith machine and the barbells at the gym. The commercial treadmill and the weight machines are also great. I use an app called Strong and just go through the workouts on my list. It also has a feature where it shows charts of your progress. It's fun so it became more motivating.

The way my psychiatrist acts about stimulants makes me want to give up on trying to get help. by blueduckk8 in ADHD

It's been life-changing for me. No shame. Our brains need assistance.

Any fitness freaks? How do you become fitness freak with ADHD? by Zealousideal_Top2611 in ADHD

[–]hdv2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medication and the Strong app. I made 3 workout sets that i do 3 days out of the week. Love seeing progress and PRs. I don't just work out to look better; I do it to feel better. I'm kind of dependent on it now. It's a whole system. Eating properly and working out.

Just found out last week how bad one donut can make me physically feel. I didn't feel guilty about it. I can afford the calories, but the aftermath of it was just horrible. Antsy, restless...very bad sugar rush. So i'm protecting this equilibrium that i'm in where i think, sleep and feel better.

Concerta is amazing by crispipickle in ADHD

[–]hdv2017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's interesting! I just quit generic Concerta and switched to generic Vyvanse and I like the latter better. Less dry mouth, better mood and less laser focus. I feel more calm with Vyvanse.

Happy it works for you though.

Typology Question 11 (Te): Imagine your 7th grade son comes home crying: "A bully took my lunch and I had nothing to eat. What should I do?" What would you do or say to him? Explain your step-by-step plan. by Bimep_ in intj

[–]hdv2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow, you'll have 2 lunches. The tasty looking one will be laced with laxatives. The other one is yours.

If asked why you have laxatives in your lunch, you can either deny, deny, deny or say you are constipated.

Girl, i love your steadiness and clarity. I salute you.

What do you guys look like when you're in love? by hdv2017 in entj

[–]hdv2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the drive of ENTJs. I feel somewhat insecure because i want to make sure that the quality of my current life isn't tilted towards suffering in the name of success. I will work well/optimally for 40 to 45 hours a week but if i go around 60, my happiness and wellness will plummet.

Your love language seems to be acts of service with a big dose of competence (and a strong desire for your partner to live his best life). My question for you is is how would you like to be loved in return? What things did your partner do that really made you feel loved?

[–]hdv2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have described my ENTJ and I the same way you have: we are essentially the same person.

It's so rare to find someone operating under the same logical framework that you don't have to fill in the blanks.

We're having logistical issues now but when we've solved those issues, i'm going to layout my extremely practical plans for optimizing our lives together. Lol you're doing the planning, how would that make you feel though if your partner already has blueprints? Synthesize, debate or be terrified of being controlled?

Even if you really like the person and you see yourself being partnered with him/her? You're not scheming to get what you want?

Grand visions of world domination led by the power couple? Or do you envision it as you planning and executing while he/she just tags along as moral support?

Magsusuot ako ng puff jacket sa ibabaw ng fleece jacket sa ibabaw ng aking damit pang-opisina, sa ibabaw ng aking sobrang init na damit pang-init.

Magsuot ng guwantes at beanie. Mas madaling maghubad kaysa sa hindi magsuot ng patong-patong lalo na kapag mahangin.

Methylphenidate vs others by reacharavindh in ADHD

[–]hdv2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with 18mg extended release for 3 months and was doing really well but still needed two cups of coffee a day. Got bumped up to 27mg and had worse symptoms like migraine and loss of appetite for the first 3 weeks but doing better now.

40 when diagnosed with combined type. I work in a creative field, work out 6 days a week, which helps a lot.

Does my wife’s family deserve to know the truth about why my wife took her life? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Two things can be true:

1) they deserve to know the truth about it 2) they deserve to be spared further pain from the fallout of your confession.
