I appreciate that perspective. They aren't bad habits, they are different habits... and they work better in certain scenarios too. Convert those mannerisms to superpowers I say.

Still trying to work out if I should bother a longer seasoning cycle to disappear those "milky spots" on the inner edge of the pan. But doesn't effect my cooking right now so I'm not worried about it.

 

This is an attempt to figure out what caused it. It is also an example of how it's pretty difficult to figure out what actually causes a migraine from day to day.

Slept from 12 to 9:30AM. Breakfast was French Toast and Eggs. Skipped Coffee. Went swimming out in the sun for about an hour (had sunscreen on). First started feeling a headache and getting dizzy and progressed into a migraine - 11:30AM. Had pizza and root beer for lunch. Took a midday nap for about an hour at 12:30PM. Woke up with throbbing migraine. Took Aleve. Drank 1000ml of water (not that that helps really). Drank a cup of coffee. Migraine went away at about 2PM.

If I take Aleve quickly enough I can usually stop a migraine within an hour or two. If I take it too late then the Aleve does nothing and the migraine can sometimes last until the next day.

Why does this timeline matter? It matters because it's an example of how anything could have caused the migraine especially when there are so many confounding factors at play.

  1. Woke up later than usual.
  2. Didn't drink my normal coffee in the morning, withdrawal/craving?
  3. Out in the sun too long?
  4. I had sunscreen on, sensitivity to the sunscreen chemicals?
  5. Didn't eat enough for breakfast + craving more substantial food, needing to eat lunch earlier?
  6. Something else entirely not listed here?

Sometimes you just can't figure it out - you just gotta take the meds quickly and move on.

 

It gives me a headache just looking at this chart. If it's close to true then that means I typically get migraines, cluster headaches, and sinus headaches depending on many environmental factors changing.

 

Please post any ideas for logos, banners, and community description/info details. I already filled in some temporary imagery and description to get things started.

Why YSK: With minimal friction to your purchasing process you can find hidden discounts (sometimes big ones!) for items online or through app purchases.

Especially for larger items you are purchasing online. After going through the entire process of purchasing an item and then stopping just before the "Complete/Place Order" button sometimes will trigger marketing to reach out with bigger discounts.

Same goes for some app subscriptions. If you plan on upgrading an app, while inside the app, sometimes dismissing the first price or offer will trigger a better discounted offer.

Nothing is better for and ADHD brain than tests and more tests. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I'm hoping that I won't need meds at all and there's an approach where I can just use therapy to help me understand myself and how I can manage my bad habits.

What's frustrating is that I took some tests when I was younger but they were administered by someone in my family who actively was hoping I wouldn't have ADHD and therefore wouldn't need meds - so that confused me a bit... unless they were right and I'm potentially an anxious mess instead. But anxiety might be it's own meds ๐Ÿคช. Still would like to avoid it.

Only when I hit a point where I say "I am very tired and should go to bed" and then that's when I might actually start doing work. Got to love it.

What should I say or not say to the therapist for the first time? Should I come out and say I think I have ADHD or should I avoid my own self-diagnosis and ask them to evaluate my habits on their own? Anything I should say or not say in a first chat? Anything that may be a red flag or green flag with a new therapist?

I literally am doing the same thing. I should be working on some client projects that are due over the next two days and instead I created 7 different communities. But I am creating those communities so damn well! ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
