The knowledge lost would be devastating. I hope they are simply forced to change their business model.

Compared to Forces, Frontiers is a masterpiece lol

What a fascinating question! I hadn't previously considered this.

For me, the coffee helps lol

I used to be the same :) But a while back, I was hospitalized for severe depression. I learned in IOP that doing something you love to warm up for the day - instead of immediately pursuing productivity - improves happiness and helps me look forward to the day instead of dreading it and making it hard to get out of bed in the morning.

I do as well. It's a lot of work, but at this point, it comes naturally.

If you're looking to bolster any routine: my unsolicited advice is to add stuff to your routine slowly over time. One thing at a time. If you jump into a whole new routine, you'll burn out and abandon it. It definitely takes some building and patience.

Oh, a morning routine! It's my favorite part of the day and something I'm oddly passionate about!

Most importantly, I make sure to go to bed at a reasonable time the night before, and i leave my curtains open to let the sunlight wake me up naturally. Just in case I'm extra sleepy, I set a vibration alarm on my phone and place it under my pillow for backup

After I wake up, I:

  1. Head to the restroom

  2. Sluggishly make my bed

  3. Go downstairs, drink a glass of water to hydrate, and then brew some coffee

  4. feed the cats

  5. Then I drink coffee and watch TV for a bit while I wake up and wait for the caffiene to kick in

  6. Shower, brush teeth, apply deoderant, style hair, shave stubble, apply cologne

I have really shit mental health, so I have to take extra care of myself and be very intentional about my actions. My morning routine is a sacred part of the day and helps me enjoy being alive :)

All of this is completely normal, yes. However, frequency and intensity are typically the separating factors between neurotypicals and those diagnosed with ADHD.

This is wildly incorrect. Where the heck did you get this data from??

I'm not sure if I understand how hotel AC functionality is devoid of comfort. Wouldn't a functional AC also be indicative of comfort? Definitely better than a Non-functional AC i suppose.

The trick is nuance. Being bombarded constantly by meaningless ragebait is not healthy, but it it very important to remain informed.

Greetings, fellow ADHDers!

These last three years have been a shit show, that led to the simple conclusion: Medication sucks (for me).

I've been through at least 8 Non-Stims and 3 Stims. The only Medications that worked for me was Adderall (but the anxiety it induced was unbearable) and Straterra (but I'm of the lucky few who have Urinary side effects). My Psychiatrist tried to balance it out with Zoloft and other similar medications but the side effects whacked me out so hard, it resulted in a Misdiagnosis of Bipolar Type 2. (Two weeks after i stopped taking all meds, all side effects subsided and my emotional state stabilized.)

Now, Im terrified of Medication. A lower dose of Adderall would conceivably help, but I dont like the health risk its impact on my cardiovascular system could have, and I have a genetic history of heart disease.

In conclusion: Medication isn't for me, and I need some tips of managing symptoms and depression related to ADHD symptoms. Life is HARD.

Thank you
