I was diagnosed when I was about 5 and I'm 30ish now.

You should make sure your child knows what you think is going to happen with the medicine and that it's ok to talk about how it feels to them.

When I was that age, it made me feel like I was containing a part of myself. I didn't really understand that was pent up anxiety not literally part of me trying to bust out of my chest. My parents are super conservative which didn't help as it turned into "take your pill, you're not a good person or someone we want to be around."

This is assistance to help them succeed NOT getting rid of something undesirable. The way you go about this will be more important than the actual drug. A good doctor will help with dosage and brand.

Focalin, Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse, Astarys or any stimulant based medication gave me pent up feelings of anxiety or tightness.

Non-stimulant based ones only really target the executive function. So if they don't have the hyperactivity that can also be useful.

I stopped when I was 18 because "I didn't feel like myself" which people usually refer to as being a robot. This kinda messed up my 20's and I had to re-learn who I was and how to function in the real world which was rough.

I recently started up again and it really helps smooth out the edges of having to remember what I'm supposed to be doing or when I get stuck hyper focused on something.

I can't stress enough that this isn't a fix, not everything works for everyone, and the most important advice I can give you is to find healthy habits. We do not function as normal everyday people do and that's ok. Just gotta find what works and be consistent.

I play on PC a lot so I like roguelikes on the deck during my lunch. Balatro was on there until I got it on my phone.

That crust looks absolutely fantastic!

Yeah, that would be a good description. I didn't use any fancy yeast, just one of the Flishmann(sp?) packets.

I over cooked the crust a little bit before toppings so the edges were pretty tough but it was pretty good in the middle.

All in all I learned quite a bit. I think my next one will be more akin to a NYC pie. I like thinner but airy crust. I don't think I can match the flavor tho. I've heard it requires the water from the city to come close but I won't know till I try.

Thank you!

 

Made some dough for the first time with a recipe I found on the internet back in 2022. I think I let it rise too long as it has a funky taste. Not quite sour but that's the best way I can describe it. Obviously the sauce was in a jar but didn't wanna mess up two things at once.

Just found this place so hopefully going to try out some of the chemistry instructions here.

Skip the first 1:50:00 of the video unless you like staring at doors and cops.

The live action Transformers movies. ALL OF THEM.

Shit blew my mind when the first one came out. Weird faces and all. I cannot get enough of these robots beating the tar out of each other and sometimes committing war crimes.

Dark of the Moon in the third act is still one of my favorite pieces of cinema.

Destiny 2. I have no idea what's going on but I sure do love shooting those aliens.
