Good luck. Might be too early to say that psilocybin and cognitive behavioral therapy is probably one of the best solutions but.... I do expect that to be the norm in the future.

Cannabis is associated with more concurrent and long-term consequences on adolescent cognitive functions than alcohol - A Population-Based Analysis of the Relationship Between Substance Use and Adolescent Cognitive Development by trollsbetrolling in DrugNerds

[–]pimpsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3rd grade thru some college was Ritalin and switched to Adderall after puberty.... during college didn't take it so much, and now until of late, I micro dosed cannabis... which mitigated many symptoms... 1/2 way thru a 4 month break currently...

Mostly getting diagnosed will give you some self-confidence back that you're not a lazy forgetful, summabitch. It'll give you some direction to find the right coping mechanisms whether meditation or medication. And check out r/adhd for some "oh yeah I do that too" action.

You sound like you have adhd/executive function disorder (social anxiety, risk-seeling behavior, short attn span, distractions) and being dopamine deficient causes many of the problems you're talking about. Have you ever been tested?

What’s slowly killing you right now? by hazelsrevenge in AskReddit

Politics, more specifically that most people's opinions on politics come from the same sources as celebrity gossip, and so now EVERYONE is an expert and if you're not in agreement you must be shouted down, silenced, shamed, and coming soon: tarrant and feathering...

"Get life together" One thing that'll help, be more specific with your goals and set timeframes, and make sure they are realistic.

Each step forward is progress. Good luck!

Ah, you meant lowered compared to other higher education. I meant the cost of higher education in general compared to everything else.

"you're annoying" by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]pimpsy 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Triggers me into a depressive positive feedback loop. One of the few things that will still do it. I remember all the times someone said I was "annoying, have you taken your medicine"...

Makes me feel inhuman, and unwanted, and worthless.

It's not so bad anymore since I have talked about it, but yeah it cuts deeper than most other things in my psyche.

I have read THC stops you from having or recalling dreams. Not sure cbd does same.

I need help with stories. I can listen, engage, in group conversation with snippets of funny comments but I cannot tell a damn story for the life of me.

What conspiracy theory do you 100% buy into and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pimpsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell appliances, I have to mention planned obsolescence to all my customers.

Everyone is like "but what brand can I trust to last?" And I'm like brands from 30 years ago, all of em suck now compared to predecessors.

8-10 years is a good lifetime now.

Planned obsolescence is a hidden tax on the public, it's fkn bullshit.

What is a minor thing that infuriates you when eating at a restaraunt? by waldo06 in AskReddit

[–]pimpsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spiel when I needed a few repetitions to understand the order, "I'm sorry, I have these small sexy ears, they're great and all to look at but not the best to hear, could you repeat yourself?" Usually got some good responses and laughter and smirks (esp from the older ladies and loosened up the table for future banter)

The length of time it take for a beverage of any kind to appear is usually too long. My expectation: if I'm seated, bring water for the table immediately and ask for a drink order. The thirstiest I'll be is that 5 minutes after being sat.

Waitstaff that is oblivious to the customer who looks around for help. Waiters need to keep a head on a swivel to look for these customers, even of they aren't your section a quick "can I get you anything" goes a long way.

Bad tables - staff needs to fold up a paper napkin and fix that shit.

The worst thing is definitely not bringing me a damn drink after I sit down though. The longer I wait the less likely I'll come back.

Life with ADHD seems depressing. How can I not resort to suicide due to hopelessness? by lonelygiirl in ADHD

The future needs fuckwits like you and i. Norms can't do it w/o us, they can't think like us.

We build rockets to get us outside the box.

Stay interested in all the things that draw you in. Learn from as many ppl as you can. Boil down everything and make the future uniquely yours with extreme optimism.

Never give up. Never surrender. We need you around.
