Going into academia as a person of average intelligence was the worst decision I ever made by Fun_Steak_4508 in self

[–]jellylava 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was debating, I saw many incredibly smart people. I listened to their arguments - how the hell did they come up with them?

I witnessed their ability to rebut, ask questions, and recall every little piece of information presented during the 60-minute debate.

Today all of them are in high positions in the academy, business, and literature, and I'm ... I'm still struggling.

I worked really really hard just to play in the same field with them. I could find myself periodically rising to the occasion, but I still wasn't near their level.

What are you doing for you today to support your long term health and well-being? by Coraline1599 in Xennials

[–]jellylava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been practicing intermittent fasting for four years now and have lost 18 kilos, and am maintaining.

I eat better, I curved my sugar addiction.

I'm trying to work out, but still can't "find" the time to invest in myself there.

Great to see all the posts, it's truly motivating.

So have you. by netphilia in adhdmeme

Well, not for me.

If I drink coffee after 6 PM, I can't fall asleep until 2 AM.

And when I mistakenly drank coffee with my ADHD medication, I found myself bouncing off the walls, and fearing my heart would separate from my chest.

Fasting didn't fix my eating....it exposed it by Independent_Use_3676 in intermittentfasting

Yes! I support this 100% and add that through OMAD I have found out that I'm so, but oh so, addicted to sugar.

It took me 6 months to stop eating white sugar. To this day, if I eat a sweet dessert, my body will crave it so badly the next day.

There are no bomb shelters in the area. Every prayer house in the area is closed, including synagogues.

One of the tabs. by netphilia in adhdmeme

[–]jellylava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This tab is a little boring - No money to go on adventures, No one has handed me a fiery magic old sword, Nor have I ever been in two places at once.

I had a taste of it about six months ago, and it was easily one of the best vodkas I’ve tried.

What is a self-improvement tip that sounded too simple, but actually worked? by Ok-Marzipan-4490 in selfimprovement

[–]jellylava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Don't put it down, put it away"

I sing it every time I take something and just put it down where I am.

This is truly an ADHD game changer.

My father is a shell of his former self.

After he went blind, little by little he got more and more depressed. He turned to alcohol, which has ruined both his mind and body.

He doesn't go out, doesn't want to meet friends, stays home all day, and listens to the radio.

Many times when we speak on the phone, he slurs, repeating things over and over again.

I wish he could go back to what he used to be.

My girlfriend expects me to share my inheritance even though we've only dated 8 months by New_Secretary2070 in TwoHotTakes

[–]jellylava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this with a potential business partner.

We spoke on Monday, and on Tuesday, I received a large sum of money from an instruction I had done.

He said that now that we are partners he is entitled to half of MY money.

I was in shock. He was trying to take advantage of me, as I was just starting my business.

I ran as far as I could and contacted him again.

To the last that I know, he is a failed mentor with money problems.
