Something Funny

@Hugo Oliveira thank you

@Ulax thanks a lot

Also, how do I know if my diagnosis is correct?

@Schizophonia that's interesting, thank you for sharing. At the moment, I feel like I have too little experience and knowledge to start tinkering with stuff like this, so I think I will just go with meds and see how it works. But I will keep it in mind for the future.

Idk, what those are to be honest. And I've never tried nicotine.

I see. I am leaning towards trying out the medication. Thank you.

@Yimpa how so? My understanding was that people who are born with adhd just have different brain chemistry, and that it's for life.

@Ulax do you have adhd?

@Yimpa thank you

@Yimpa could you share more, please? What improvements / side effects have you noticed while on medication? Would you say that it helped you to then make those major changes that allowed you to get off the pills eventually? What were you taking?

@Yimpa I've been working with a coach for about 9 months, with 2 sessions per months. She is in favor of me starting to take medication. So is the person who diagnosed me. But I am still kind of apprehensive, and wanted to hear some outside opinions. And yeah, I wasn't able to make any behavioral changes so far. I feel kind of stuck, basically.

Yeah

@Leo Gura why are you guys saying that Owen isn't physically attractive? In my opinion, he looks kind of cool. I like his beard and his style in general. Sure, he is not Brad Pitt hot or whatever, but you guys are acting like he is ugly.

I am looking for an episode where Leo exaplains how God's love is absolute and how he loves and accepts even "bad" things like war and murder. Does anyone remember which one it is?

Thanks, I actually don't remember this one.

@mmKay haha Actually, I've just watched the anime called Elfen Lied, and MC there offed a lot of people. And now I am trying to explain to a guy on reddit how she is not really evil

Thank you

Yeah, but you don't know how well he would have been able to handle that. It's not like you know him very deeply as a person. Also, in my opinion, the kind of Russia, where Navalnyi could realistically become a president, would be inherently less corrupt already.

You don't know that.

I feel sick.

I wish everyone here to have the courage and strength to live the kind of life he did.

RIP, he was amazing.

Oh, that's actually funny, haha. @Rafael Thundercat sorry, I guess I might have misunderstood you <3

I struggle with loneliness and depression, and because of that I am not able to live the life I would like to live. I spend a lot of my days laying in bed and eating junk food, I have a hard time keeping my house clean, I am not able to stick to whatever goals I set for myself, I have no social life. Recently got this idea of getting myself a dog. And here is why I think it would help me deal with my issues: 1) It would support me emotionally, preventing me from getting depressed and feeling lonely 2) Taking care of someone else would motivate me, mobilize me to take action, work on improving my life, etc., etc. For example, I feel like I can tolerate living in a dirty house myself, but there is no way that I would ever allow my dog to live in a dirty house. I would also want to get a better career that is more flexible and pays more, so that I can take care of my dog better. And in general, I think that owning a dog would improve my whole lifestyle and make it much more healthy, grounded, and consistent. On the other hand, I feel like having a dog could hold me back in a lot of ways: - It will make it even harder for me to find time for going out and socializing - I will have less time for everything else, including developing new skills, starting a business, doing spirituality, etc., etc. - Taking care of a dog costs money, and I don't have that much money - Having a dog would make moving places much harder But then you could of course make an argument that I am not able to do any of these things anyway in the mental state I currently am, so it would be better for me to get a dog, which will help me pull myself together, even though on paper, taking care of a dog takes a lot of time and energy. Any thoughts?
