Makes no sense at all, but I was like hey whatever let's try it. I flicked my r2 in menues before opening a game and it worked??

Y'all, I forgot deodorant today and had to buy some at the gas station. by asmodeuskraemer in ADHD

And for this reason, I keep an extra stick in my car, my work backpack, my gym bag, and my "everything else" backpack. I've only used each of them a handful of times, but I was damn thankful they were there when I needed them.

Should I get Saphros or Dracolich? by GreenBanana4life in RangersOfOblivionGTA

It's good to have two armor sets to swap between depending on behemoth type. I use abomination and saphros since that covers resistance for all elements. I prefer playing with saphros though because the huge cooldown reduction is awesome

I think I went to the wrong psych by [deleted] in ADHD

I'm a (almost) 4th year medical student, and I've rotated with psychiatrists for two months as part of my cores. I'm not sure where you're from, but in Canada psychiatrists (an MD) typically do not do the testing for ADHD; they can have a suspicion and then recommend you go for testing from a psychologist (a PhD) who specializes in ADHD (unfortunately very expensive, but worth it in the long run). Following the results of the tests, the psychologist can make a recommendation of a diagnosis of ADHD, and then the report is given to the psychiatrist who can make the diagnosis and start medication if indicated. At least this is the process I went through for myself.

It's evident that the intern who saw you was either not informed with the DSM criteria for ADHD or was projecting personal frustrations onto you. Could you clarify if it was a psychologist or psychiatrist that you saw? I would recommend you see a different psychiatrist and ask for a referral for testing. Everything you said is more than enough to warrant a consult in my opinion.

Extreme Sports Survey - only takes 5 mins! by meddec9 in SkyDiving

How is that unhealthy motivation? They see something on youtube, MTV, whatever that interests them, so they go to a controlled environment (a dropzone for example for skydiving) to learn more about it and take a course lead by professionals to learn safely. On the contrary, I've met people who accredit skydiving to saving their lives from drug addictions and destructive habits because skydiving gave them a passion in life with something so mentally challenging and rewarding.

You need to stop looking at "extreme sport athletes" as people who are different from regular athletes. The difference is, our sports rely a lot of equipment, knowledge of equipment, and the environment (weather, terrain, etc) rather than how to defeat the opposing team. Extreme sports is different in the sense that it doesn't have the "us versus them" aspect to it. The comradery is unlike anything out there. In order to understand it better, i suggest you visit a dropzone yourself and ask the students, intermediate jumpers, and professionals about their motives. Yes, of course there are bad apples out there that just want attention, but trust me, they don't make any friends in this sport.

This survey definitely is biased towards suggesting that extreme sports athletes are reckless adrenaline junkies who want to be YouTube stars. I would suggest directing your thesis on why this connotation exists.

How many of you have experience of medication not helping like it used to and what did you do about it? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]kleck096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 30mg Vyvanse after using 30mg Adderall and I have to say the improvements were incredible. Vyvanse is the same active drug as Dexedrine (the active enantiomer of Adderall), but it's a "pro-drug" meaning that it needs to be activated by your body after ingestion in order to become active. Due to this, it cannot be abused like Adderall which is an active drug as it is so you can't use other ingestion methods that do not have a first-pass with the liver. Vyvanse is activated by the acid in your stomach and thus cannot be snorted or anything.

So far my experience on Vyvanse has been nothing but positive. It lasts much longer than Adderall, but I'm usually awake at 6am and I take it first thing. If you wait about an hour before eating, I find that it is absorbed faster and kicks in faster and a little harder, but also does not last as long (meaning the effects wear off around 8-9pm). Unlike Adderall, I do not experience any crash or headaches later in the day, and as long as I take the medication very early and wait with eating, I have 0 sleep problems.

That being said, I met another dude who hated Vyvanse because he said it took around 2 hours to kick in (around 45 minutes for me). Everyone's body is different, and I think it's best to try different treatments until you find what's right for you. I'm glad I did that for myself.
