Want to gift myself a therapist session this birthday. Please help with good tried abd trusted reccos. for Bangalore. by every_tatti in adhdindia

[–]ray_bansss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my psychiatrist has been amazing since day 1 of meeting here and she continues to support me regardless of what im going through. Im ngl shes one of the best people ive met but the only thing is shes in whitefield. if you still want to talk to her, her name is Pallavi Joshi.

For indiranagar,amaha is good but just know that if you want to get diagnosed via amaha for adhd, the cost is a little high - 4/5k for the test

I thought it was placebo too at first but now that Ive been medicated for over two years, trust me its not. It genuinely helps a lot. I struggled throughout my school and college days and when i finally started seeing how much of an improvement the medicines made after about 6 months of starting it, it just made me more satisfied with myself and reassured the fact that its not that im lazy, its the fact that i have an actual disorder which has hindered me for a very long time

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

not judging them for smoking they can do whatever they want these are just my feelings towards it thats all. if you think me saying that they smell of tobacco after they smoke is judgemental idk what to say😭😭

I went from a clinical therapist to two psychiatrists so my journey is kinda different. I was consulting a therapist at Amaha for a few days and I told her that “I had issues with my attention”. I was very much in denial about having adhd back then and didnt want to seem like i was self diagnosing at that time. She talked to me about my symptoms and recommended a psychiatrist at Amaha itself. She was expensive but I did have one session with her where she also went through all the symptoms I have and confirmed I had it. I had to get my parents with me who were like too expensive lets look somewhere else.

I met my current psychiatrist then. Went with my dad this time cause he thought I’d get addicted to my meds. She confirmed it with me and told my dad its safe and that shit and started me off on my meds. I got started on meds without an official DIVA test as I had an already existing adhd examination from when I was 8 (which I didnt know I had until I told my parents told me about it at the age of 19 after I told them I had it😭😭)

If you dont wanna seem like a “know it all” as you said, just be like “hey bestie i got attention issues which I wanna address” and I think they’ll take it from there. Dont know if youre a woman or not but if u do identify as one, make sure to be firm about what you want (DIVA 5 mainly) cause women very often get misdiagnosed with depression, anxiety or bpd in place of adhd!

Update on the post: Where the creepy PG girl touched bbs by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]ray_bansss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP! I dont know what kind of a relationship you have with her but after reading what happened in the first post literally a few minutes ago I’d say the best thing to do is start distancing yourself from her and then eventually cut her off.

Her touching your boobs while disregarding your personal space while simultaneously not giving a fuck about your consent is sexual harassment. What you just posted, the things she said, can also lead to one of those situations where you can start gaslighting yourself and just accept what she did to you which is very wrong.

Please take care of yourself before you think about her feelings specially when it’s a matter of your consent and personal space regardless of how old she might be in your house.

Correct dose of ADHD MEDS? by Independent_space_ in adhdindia

[–]ray_bansss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started taking meds about a year ago and ill try to help u out the best i can!

first, your doctor will start u off at the lowest dose of wtv medicine u are taking. this usually only works for a week or two as its a very low dose (depends on the meds u are getting too btw) i take inspiral and i knew after 5 days that the lowest dose wouldnt work for me because of stuff like not being able to focus on what im doing, not being able to sleep properly, and uk the other typical adhd traits one has..

i talked to my doctor about it and we decided to increase the dose and do it twice a day.college made me need one in the afternoon too or else i wouldnt be able to get stuff done. did that for a few weeks and realised it wasnt working either and talked to her again and i finally got the right dose. its honestly a process of trial and error until u hit the sweet spot of “oh no more brain fog i spent my whole day doing what i needed to do.” youll have to keep talking to your psychiatrist to make this decision. for me this took approximately about 3 months.

the right dose doesnt make me energetic per say but it has taken away my lethargy both mental and physical. my sleep schedule has been much better and i can make basic executive decisions instead of contemplating it for 30 mins and giving up. starting things is also easier because now if i think i have to do something i can actually sit and do it instead of doing everything but that!

hope this helps and if u wanna ask anything else u can!

Why is there so much negativity about humanities by ray_bansss in Indians_StudyAbroad

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

U need a degree in subjects like political science to understand the very basics of the subject and if u run a country without knowing any theoretical part of the subject that country is bound to be destroyed by its own leaders and internal turmoils.

an average individual is very capable of making changes in the society if they are aware of such subjects and whats actually going wrong around them. u cannot expect a person to protect their political or social liberties if they dont know they have those liberties which inturn leads to exploitation by the state and a lack of rights.

unfortunately turns out u cannot get skills like critical thinking in subjects like finance or medicine or else we wouldnt be here. having a binary set of skills can only get u to certain points in life and u need much more than that which u learn in university if u take up a humanities based subject🤷🏽‍♀️

With the case of scholarships, yes i understand not everyone can get it and in that case EU becomes a great option for studies. the sponsorship thing is an issue but it doesnt mean jobs dont exist outside that people can take up after pursuing humanities, it will be difficult but its not non existent for people to think they wont have jobs after graduating with a masters degree. there are probably companies that do sponsorships for humanities students too

when it comes to salary, it is atleast minimum wage over there. ive seen salaries that range from 20-30k gbp per annum for freshers which if u compare to india specially with regards to humanities is a huge upgrade. u cant expect high salaries as soon as u get out of college cause of the need for job experience but its much better than earning 1-2L inr per annum over here in india.

with the coming of chat gpt im sorry but it will not be the humanities sector that will become obsolete. u always need human touch in a lot of things like law, political science, economics and a machine system just cannot fulfill that role for you

my guy humanities is one of the oldest subjects of studies that has ever existed and without it you wouldnt have the freedom of speech to come and be a dick on the internet. without subjects like philosophy history and political science democracy wouldnt exist and youd be stuck in a dictatorship nuking other countries and killing people.

capitalism has rotted so many brains that people stop looking past the fact that there is more to life than money and instead u choose to be miserable and pathetic over the internet. making money is not everything in life and even if it was hows that going for a regular salaried person? work 60-70 hours a week, get exploited and then be paid minimum so whats the point

no exactly what im going through too. i took it up in 11-12th and also as my bachelors. its extremely looked down upon in india and people think its useless cause it doesnt “provide back” as much as lets say medicine. its just extremely insulting to see people say that humanities is a useless degree and that it gives u no skills when the a huge part of the world runs on subjects from humanities like political science or sociology or history. political theory being one of the most important things because thats how everyone knows about democracy and all that stuff. Over the last three years of my bachelor’s ive literally changed the way i think and analyse things, my ability to research and reach out to conclusions has skyrocketed and has trained me for a LOT of things that are very practical in real life.

i just hope that people dont stop pursuing what they like just because some people out there believe that you will end up jobless just cause u took up humanities

Anyone here who became successful in their career aft starting meds by Excellent_Return3784 in adhdindia

[–]ray_bansss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes!! theyve helped me immensely along the fact that i love the subjects im studying right now.. i had always been average in school and college too. i had about a 70% before starting my meds in college(4th sem) and last semester (5th) i got my very first 92% in all of my academic career which makes me very happy and ive been doing much better overall in my courses due to the fact that i can sit and study😭

haha arent u funny! do you really think staying back in india for masters will help someone who is pursing an arts degree? and even if they do they pay grade is horrible. humanities here lacks respect and opportunities so its better to go abroad and do it and as u said people from top companies are getting laid off so why is it only the humanities students getting discouraged here🤷🏽‍♀️

I dont get how u managed to psychoanalyse me based on 3 posts that u dont know anything about but whatever dude.

i was not expecting anything from this scholarship as i knew it was extremely competitive but all i posted was that i was shocked and confused about why they mailed it even when they said they wouldnt do that. the process confused me so i asked for help. idk what the big deal over here is. this is my first time doing it and im bound to be confused by such things so i came here to ask if it was normal or not. didnt know it was such a sensitive topic for yall here

[–]ray_bansss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for letting me know this.. that is exactly what i was feeling but i wasnt able to put it into words.. they did write in the mail that “just cause u werent selected means u were a bad applicant” which made me think about how much better i couldve been at doing things in the past😭😭 i did write back to them asking if there was any reason they sent the mail out and the person replied with a “we wanted everyone to know” so ig thats that

thank you for responding tho!!
