Can you post a thread from Mastodon to /kbin?
  • No, I believe they are a different type of post altogether.

    I just got prescribed Adderall!
  • According to Dr Russell Barkley, there are genetic tests that can really help identify which drugs you are likely to respond to.

    Anger issues? 💢
  • The inability to self-soothe and therefore outburst when you have emotions is an executive dysfunction that is definitely part of ADHD. As others have said, the degree to which you feel the emotions may have other components, but the inability to quell or redirect your emotions is definitely a normal ADHD symptom.

    How do you deal with ADHD
  • I've largely done those things too until I got diagnosed, at 27. Since then I did adderall on and off, it works decently for me, however, the effects on my mood as it drains out of my system are not great. Mostly, I become extremely irritable. Lately I've been reading and watching more about ADHD, and Russell Barkley really changed the way I see the issue. I, now more than ever, see ADHD as a chemical shortcoming of my brain and I'm really pursuing the right drug or combination of drugs to deal with issues I've been failing to overcome for decades.

    How do you deal with ADHD
  • Dr Russell Barkley, a respected researcher in the field of ADHD, basically states that there is a chemical deficiency in your brain that makes it physically impossible for it to simply 'be' better, and that things like behavior modification have been shown to be helpful... almost exclusively when the subject is also on medication. And even when environmental changes can make a difference, it tends to fall on those close to the ADHDer to help set up those accommodations, at least with children. However, with adults there exist the same struggles, just to a /slightly/ lesser extent.

    When you're worth $239 billions but you choose the local crack head to make your new signage
  • Yeah the $ implies the word dollar, in this case becoming “239 billion dollars”

    An interesting case of moderation in the fediverse
  • I'm coming around to agreeing with you. But I feel like if I try to clarify and really understand I may end up offending someone. It's hard to have these kinds of conversations online, with people who don't know you or your intent.

    I may be an imperfect ally, but I'm honestly trying.

  • The issue was the use of a specific word, that is now uncouth, but with which OP identifies. They claim to not know the word had fallen out of favor. Other than the word itself, I don’t think there was anything wrong with the comment they left.

    Medication holiday
  • Dr Russell Barkley seems to be pretty against the idea of not taking meds. ADHD affects all parts of your life, and just because you don't have school doesnt mean you dont have ADHD. Your brain works better on the drugs, you can be more responsible, put more effort into your hobbies, and take better care of yourself if youre on your meds.

    Unless theyve got some real reason for suggesting that, you should probably get a new dr.

    At 32 I've finally gotten an official diagnosis.
  • My understanding is that its a super common comorbidity (for people with Autism to have ADHD too, not the other way around)

    Do you think there was a point where Michael Jackson wasn't allowed to use the n-word anymore? Where would you pinpoint the moment when it became inappropriate?
  • I don’t care to use it, so I don’t. And I’ll speak up when I hear people (tbh this is mostly gaming online) when I hear the word used in a derogatory manner.

  • Allowed? By whom? You know there are black people who abhor the use of the word no matter the person, right?

    There are white people who use it freely, with black people.

    Fairphone 4—the repairable, sustainable smartphone—is coming to the US
  • I want to replace my iPhone 11 Pro bc the faceid scanner is broke. (Someone didn’t close the drybag properly and some water got into the phone through the earpiece)

    But as annoying as no faceid is, I just can’t fully justify getting a new phone. I tried to get it fixed by apple ($550 for a replacement phone) and by iPad Rehab (said they can’t fix it)

    So, idk….

    Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.
  • I left because the way they went about killing third party apps. Bad faith notification, shit communication, and slandering Christian.

    What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
  • Lol, agreed, some typos are not a problem. But other times, words like to/too, I read as completely different words. And often, that "typo" (I think people honestly are just using the wrong word, not mistyping) will require me to

    1. Read
    2. Recognize the error
    3. re-read knowing that there is an error

    Which is aggravating.

    What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
  • I've known so many people who are so into anime, and every now and then I give anime a shot bc they keep harping on about show x or y. 9/10 are just so full of cringy sexually repressed representations of women/girls and interactions with them that no quality of other storyline could make up for it. Other times, the 'fan service' is more manageable. This real, personal experience definitely taints how I initially perceive anyone who brings up anime.

  • I just dislike people typing to when they mean too. And enjoy reading some etymology from time to time.
    Does that make me a linguistics enthusiast to?

    Are posts submitted from kbin.social visible on lemmy.ml?
  • I did make a microblog on that boston community, and it showed up on lemmy.

    Based on the state of lemmy, I'm guessing the microblog->post issue is on the lemmy side of things.
