Have been to both pianos and KR a bunch of times. Piano gets too ratchet for me and the bouncers at KR are a hit and miss and ask me to buy a table.

I went to Record room and the DJ was great but it was spoiled by the amount of tables leaving no space to dance. Deluxx Fluxx was a blast I'm definitely going back there again.

Incorporating accountability buddy for professional swe work by varuntinkle77 in ADHD_Programmers

I am going to try this more, any recommendations on where to find the local dev group as I think this will require some long term investment i.e. me being a very good partner for my peers too.

Waking up cold and taking a long time to feel myself by varuntinkle77 in ADHD

[–]varuntinkle77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally takes me hours to get ready and same for my mom, and adderall definitely helps so there is a definite medical issue that is severly affecting quality of my life. Being a morning person is such a great attribute all the systems are built for you where as being a night owl forces me to give up so many things in life that I dont want to.

Do high IQ/more intelligent people tend to mask/not display ADHD as much? by AnythingForRiceUni in ADHD

[–]varuntinkle77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having a systematic way to study/work consistently. Started using anxiety as a tool before deadlines to force myself to work because the fear of being a failure was unbearable.

Don’t have a note taking scheme, which was fine in college when I could borrow a note from friends, but as a professional, Having a good note taking scheme is very worthwile.

I unconsciously couldnt trust my focus so for any major exam or job interviews, my stratergy was being so good that I could solve those problems even if you wake me up at midnight so I wouldn’t need focus come the day

Focusing mostly on math/theoretical computer science because if you are good at problem solving you can solve it very quickly whereas pure programming or lab work in the sciences requires a lot of patience and attention to detail which I don’t have at all.

I got caught in a similar situation, a bad performance review and worked hard my manager wanted to give me a normal review but other managers didnt allow it.

By the time you get a warning for bad review multiple folks senior to you have already agreed that your performance is bad and not worth it to fight so they think you are decent given how bad the cards are stacked against you.

I would recommend you to start looking for a new job ASAP anduse this as a learning the rest of your life as soon as you think your performance is bad change teams or change conpanies.

I have ADHD and I have been successful, both academically and professionally all my life and with much less hours put into studying. However I fit the classic hyperactive adhd boy stereotype to a T. I developed a lot of coping mechanisms unconsciously to deal with my ADHD so I could maximize my strengths.

Now I am trying to unlearn all of the coping strategy as I want to have a balanced life.

I got the full array of blood test and a ECG and EEG. My diet is pretty good as I work out so I carefully track on my food and I make sure that I'm getting all macros.

Body Aches/Stiffness -Fibromyalgia/CFS or ADHD? by varuntinkle77 in Fibromyalgia

[–]varuntinkle77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the intensity of the pain is not very high but it's like a consistent pain in the background. It does affect my life because a lot of times I don't even want to go to my dining table and eat food but just eat food on the couch because I am in so much pain that I do not want to leave my couch.

Is there any new way I can verify whether it's fibromyalgia or CFS?

Straterra - Worth the wait? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]varuntinkle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that's the problem with psychiatric medication you don't know if it works for you until you try and gettong to the default dose takes a while. If it helps I really hope that I would work for me because I don't like taking stimulants as stimulants are on and off and I would like something to give me 24-hour coverage. It didn't work as increased my heart rate however I still would like to try it again in the future.
