  • I would definitely bet it’s made up and poorly designed.

    I wish that weren’t the case because having actual data would be nice, but these are almost always funded with some sort of intentional slant, for example nic vape safety where they clearly don’t use the product sanely and then make wild claims about how there’s lead in the vapes!

    Homie you’re fucking running the shit completely dry for longer then any humans could possible actually hit the vape, no shit it’s producing carcinogens.

    Go burn a bunch of paper and directly inhale the smoke and tell me paper is dangerous.


  • Haha if it gets past a week or two I consider it a lost cause and would be weird to reply that late, doesn’t stop it from popping into my head from time to time though.

    I too have a few friends where it was a super painless experience and the almost jealousy is real!

    On the history, yeah exactly, ironically I thought back to when I was real young and in 2nd grade they had me in a “special class” so I wouldn’t disrupt the other students, probably should have been a sign but eh. Once I became more self aware I worked to keep myself from expressing my inner thoughts as frequently, which kinda sucks but it’s also fair lol.

    I didn’t know it presented differently in men and women honestly, I should do more research on that!

    At this point unless it benefited my life in some way to have an official diagnosis (like meds) I don’t really see why I would go through all the effort and money to seek professional help. It doesn’t help that I picked up thc as a self medication tool and most docs would then just assume the issues are due to that. Can’t really explain to them in a state where that’s illegal lol.

    I have taken several different types of meds for adhd (from my siblings prescriptions) and it truly is transformational on my ability to focus and keep that focus for a long period of time, even if I get off-track it’s much easier to get back in that prior state of mind. I don’t love the idea of having to take a pill every day, but I also feel like I’m not living up to my actual potential as I am now.

    I do see the point of having proof though, not just “too lazy” or “forgetful” a legit medical condition. Even then though, so many people have no understanding of what it’s like and the implications it has on so many minute things in life.

    I hadn’t heard of DAMP but seems like it was more a thing in Sweden and Denmark then in the USA.



  • Lol I keep thinking I need to reply at times I can’t take the time.

    Regardless!

    I had always assumed I was like a lower tier ADHD, then looked more into lower tier autism and I came to the conclusion I’ve probably got some mix of both.

    It’s hard to get diagnosed as an adult because they think you’re just trying to get meds from my experience, and similarly to your story I went to a Psychiatrist who essentially told me the same, I didn’t go to college but I excel at my job so 🤷‍♂️ I didn’t go back and it’s now been like 8 years.

    I probably should try again, both of my younger siblings were diagnosed at a young age with ADHD but I was the oldest and they didn’t really believe in ADHD until the other two lol and by that point I was already a teen.
