Dammit, I use it for my business, and I’m not aware of a good replacement. So I will probably continue using it while being very unhappy about the price increase.

She is probably bisexual. Just saying.
My husband’s main hobby is collecting baseball cards, but he also makes money buying and selling them (along with Pokémon and MTG). He was always a bit embarrassed of this hobby until he learned he has autism and it’s just his special interest. Now he understands and accepts himself better. And that’s hella attractive.
I’m going to tell a story on behalf of my husband.
He was 13 and in Boy Scouts. Their troop was told that some older scouts went missing and the troop had to look for them. They formed patrols and were searching for over 3 hours when the leaders said that the older scouts were located; one of them was disemboweled and needed a medical helicopter to come from Denver. That was the “oh, crap!” moment…
Turns out the whole thing was staged. No one ever went missing. They just wanted the troop to learn how to do search and rescue. There were younger scouts there who were crying and terrified, definitely scarred by the experience.
And that’s how things were done back in the 80s.
Yeah, about that… a lot of people in the Millennial and Gen z generations may not be able to ever retire.
That’s a fascinating article, thank you for sharing! I’m sorry you struggle with this, though.
If you read the comments, it seems to be precisely the people in countries with universal healthcare who are having trouble. Getting diagnosed in the US is relatively easy. For me it was a single visit to a psychiatrist, $300 out of pocket because I have not hit my deductible yet. Have been on stimulants and doing well ever since.
I’m a therapist. In grad school, one of my professors said that the most reliable way to diagnose someone with ADHD is to give them a stimulant and see how they react. Understandably, that’s not how people are diagnosed for safety and ethical reasons… but it is effective.
From afar, I love the food. I’d love to visit and learn more about the country but as a woman I don’t feel safe going there.
Hi, rosamundi! I hope your diagnosing journey is as smooth as possible. Many things can reveal themselves when we stop masking with substances. May you find exactly what you need.
You can find people who can relate in the !bipolardisorder@lemmy.world community because hypersexuality is one of the common symptoms of mania/hypomania. I don’t think we have any specific resources though. You are more than welcome to post there without having bipolar!
I would keep working part time because I love my job (psychotherapist). I would also garden, knit, go camping a lot, learn a musical instrument, write fiction and non-fiction books, have a podcast about mental health, and spend more time with friends. Traveling would also be a favorite.
That’s why I post pictures of opossums, bats, and raccoons…
NextDoor is on the next level of paranoia and fear-mongering. There is a lady in my that posts about “gunshots” like every other day. We live in an ultra-safe suburban neighborhood, and I can assure you there are no gunshots. She is far from the only crazy person on there.
Sorry I’m late in posting this - I had covid and couldn’t function normally. But I’m back!

Lol, that’s the spirit. Sounds like something I would do.
Did you make it?
That’s terrible! I’m convinced there are doctors out there who don’t believe ADHD is real and think we are just drug seeking. So messed up. I hope you are able to see a better doctor one day, no one should have to put up with this.
I’ll have to check it out, thank you!
