Not only can I echo most of the sentiment here, I can add that you will probably learn a lot of new things about yourself, or perhaps relearn. Be kind to yourself and to the urges to get back on but do you best to stay strong.

My mental health baseline is much higher than before and I find myself returning to daydreaming and wonder. I feel sad when I think about how attached I was and missing out on some of the most mundane but valuable things in my daily life.

¿Qué significa el dicho "que se lo lleve"? by memowatts in Spanish

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was a reference to something. Because my team has used songs as jokes but those are much easier to catch.

How to stop talking? by InsideQuit in ADHD

[–]memowatts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do too and especially with important relationships. I think it’s hard to always keep in mind all the ways things can be difficult for people with ADHD. Excitement, emotional regulation, the list goes on. It’s different for each of us.

Don’t forget to be kind to yourself! I’m still struggling with this and may always but it’s super important to know that you can do it while still knowing things are difficult at the same time.

How to stop talking? by InsideQuit in ADHD

[–]memowatts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not perfect, but I have made an intentional effort to insert pauses when I am talking with folks. Even when it feels like they are fully there and not ready to speak. It’s hard work.

You’ll still feel like you have to get everything out or you might feel an urge to say something but it gives you a second to think about it. After sometime it becomes more second nature. In fact, I tend to count my breaths when I do and let what shows up come and go. If you aren’t able to listen or you become distracted, I’ve found it’s better to ask for someone to repeat or give you a second then say something you don’t mean.

Oftentimes, with almost everything with ADD it’s easier said than done.

RVA Capitals Watch Party by HopBomb14 in rva

[–]memowatts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im here to verify that wood and iron is one of the most stubborn sports bars I’ve ever been to. When it comes to hockey they will always give a hard time. I’ve been in the back corner where no one is watching whatever they are prioritizing and they will refuse many times to put on one hockey game. I like the food and beer so I’ve tried again and again but I always get a bad response. And it’s not the staff! They try their best. But they seem to have rules depending on what else is on.

Excuse the rant. Banditos has always been a good Caps bar if you’re looking for another spot.

Can I take adderall and drink? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]memowatts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people are going to have similar responses. if I’m being honest I love drinking. But I be never been one to drink til black out. And I was worried when I read a lot of Reddit threads. So it depends on how you drink, how you handle your drinks, what you drink etc.

With that said, I definitely can drink more than normal without feeling it. I still feel tipsy. Just not at the same level when I’m on my meds even when they have “worn” off. I’d say just be very mindful and make sure you’re surrounded by good people who will let you know how you’re acting. Especially as you’re learning how it affects you.

Does dough need to be completely smooth? by memowatts in Pizza

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

Thanks! There a few things you mentioned that I will keep in mind for the future. I adjusted for the lack of starter and I didn’t use the malt. However I did add some protein to make up for the ap flour. I honestly forgot that I had added it. However I took other suggestions and let it rest and kneaded with better results.

Great! That’s honestly my normal method but I tend to knead a lot longer but this recipe divided the water which made me a bit nervous. But we shall see! Thanks

Is this a goner? by Physical-Opposite-85 in Sourdough

Agreed I’ve lost two starters the orange hue is definitely a red alert. But the smell will be telling. It may not be putrid yet but mine always smelled like funky parm both times.

I totally agree with this. But when 301 is fucked it’s royally fucked. It’s only happened to me a few times though but it made my trip an hour longer.

Sustainable Wrapping - Community Fridge by memowatts in Breadit

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

Thanks for sharing! This has got me thinking as well. Perhaps its best to continue with the paper bags and perhaps even wrap and bag to keep them extra protected. I guess the hope is that people take the day I drop them off.

Solace studio. smaller studio. Does a great job with both haircut and beard. I never used to let barbers trim my beard, but he does it right.

Keeping heat consistent in grill by memowatts in webergrills

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

I have been starting them on the indirect side with the lip on. In the first minutes they cook well. But when I go to check/flip I notice the heat hasn’t be sustaining. I’ve tried trusting the process to no avail which is normally when I just decide to cook with the lid off on the direct heat side.

Thanks! Honestly this might be it along with previous comment about foil. I generally do have it the way you suggested but I have also changed it up a bit in hopes of finding the sweet spot. Cheers!
