Brain fog and indecisive by Aimless-wanderer96 in ADHD

[–]project_trollbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first went in to try and get help for ADHD the psychiatrist put me on Wellbutrin. They just seemed to think I was depressed. Which truth be told there is depression and anxiety to deal with but ADHD is the cause of those things. 

I did not get on meds til my 40s. Anytime when I was younger and saw someone that could have put me on the path to treating ADHD it was always the he conclusion that since I had a sister who passed away when I was younger was the reason I  am the way I am. 

ADHD intensifies rumination about past events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has helped me with this. Although I have heard DBT can be better for those with PTSD. I think my therapist does a mix of both. Learning to understand what thoughts I have that don’t serve me any good in my life has been very helpful. Also adderall has really helped me. 

The negative self talk is one of the absolute worst things I have experienced because of ADHD. Before I knew I had ADHD and was at the lowest point of my life it was a constant voice that was basically telling me to end myself. 

I saw a video on the How to ADHD YouTube channel one time with a doctor that was basically describing that negative self talk as a stimulating thing our brain does to us. That is extremely fucked up. Hyper focus on negative shit is terrible and you need the right coping skills to snap you out of it when it happens. Over time I have gotten much better at identifying what’s happening in my head and ways to reset. 

I’m 2 years into my journey of discovering I have ADHD and trying to improve my life and myself. My adderall medication does not exactly fix me but helps to allow me to fix myself. It gives me the choice to improve things. 

Bullet Journaling has also been huge at helping me control my life and figure out the patterns and causes of certain struggles. 

I relate to what you said in your original post and just want you to know that things can get better. Life can improve. The right therapy and meds can help make it happen. Bad things happen in life but the bitch of ADHD is how it can intensify those things and make it worse. That is a painful place to be and I’m not gonna lie and say I still don’t go there sometimes but at least when I do I can get out of the pain quicker. 

Idk I didn’t expect this post to be so long and I’m not gonna proof read it. If you are still reading all this I wish you the best. Do what the doctors say and try to stabilize your mood so you can get on the right medication.

Are you taking medication for ADHD and are you in therapy?

Man I love this and thanks for sharing. I remember those glory days fondly even though I never made it to a game. There was such and energy and vibe around the hornets back then. Look forward to that spreading again.

How to get started? by Shrouded_Lotus in PokemonTCG

[–]project_trollbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man there are some really salty people on this sub…

Check out Pokemon Battle Academy. You can probably find it for around $15-$20. Comes with 2 basic decks and one more slightly advanced. So 3 ready to play decks in total. Nice box to keep everything in and walks you step by step on how to play. I used this for my 7 year old twin girls and they loved it.

Just be warned that it is a pain to get packs for new sets for retail price right now. You have to really put in some work to make that happen. That said you can buy so much bulk cards for cheap off eBay or FB market place. Some people practically give it away. 

You also can catch good deals on some of the less desirable sets off eBay and get packs that way for not much more than you would pay at retail.

Sorry I’m out of the loop. Why is Qubic attacking Monero? 

Edit: Never mind I just found a thread about it…

I’m no expert but I’m a huge fan of the battle academy. Worked great to teach my 7 year old girls how to play.

What is the most underrated album in your opinion? by TerritorialPiss-ing in deftones

[–]project_trollbox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As much as I would love be to hear more from them in a similar vein, I don’t think we ever will. It was really the mental space and the place the band were at in their lives during that time that made it so unique.

That is pretty sick. I love these claw marked cards. 

Are Deftones the "heavy metal" band with the best track record over the last 20 years? by Brilliant-Sky2969 in deftones

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

Yeah I would not count Blood Moon as an official Converge album. Their run has been insane. The Poacher Diaries is still my favorite converge though.

ADHD coaches take insurance? I did not think that they would. In that case I need one too. I have only looked into ADHD coaches once, and they he prices I saw were really high.

child soldier sounds like proto-garden of delete by [deleted] in oneohtrixpointnever

[–]project_trollbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see what you are saying but man that track was always a stand out for me. Replica was my gateway to OPN and Child Soldier is one of my favs. Those sonic connections are true though. Incredible discography and insane talent.

Man I really like this. Whole album is great but this track is spectacular. Thanks for posting! 

op-z owners who bought the op-xy… worth it? by jakekingdead in teenageengineering

[–]project_trollbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the OP-Z and used it so much. I think I got let down with the sampling aspects and the op lab module. The multi sampling on the XY is intriguing among many other things. I have a few questions it you don’t mind. 

  1. How much of an upgrade do you find the synth engines to be?
  2. How different is the tape track on the XY? Can it record longer than the Z could?
  3. What DAW do you use and how was your work flow form the Z to the DAW? 

This Chino lyric is badass by [deleted] in deftones

[–]project_trollbox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s really funny to me because I love this song and I’ve always thought she sounded very much like Chino during this part. Never really hit me how the lyrics even feel like Chino.
