  • Yes, how much is for the kid? I'd say about 80%, including most of the household.

  • Let's hope. The original freemind that I use does not work with current JRE versions, needed to get an old one just for that. Not sure why things are incompatible, maybe for really old stuff where programmers felt like they needed to use the internal com.sun packages?

    Seems like there are already containerised builds of freemind bundled with JRE, lol.

  • Using a kanban board to manage my life

    Jump

  • You know what - that's a good idea. The general group of task tracking methods is what works best for me already, and this one makes sense.

    Still miss the time I had a mind map software for my tasks which also had a "progress-ready" rather than just a ready icon. It was a circle filling in quarters, until it was full and became a checkmark. I like my tasks structured hierarchically, with the option to always break down any task or subtask further, and that was the best of both worlds.

    With Kanban and tickets, my only worry is that creating subtasks in something like Jira does not display as nicely as it does in a mind map.

  • Trying meds upon alarm again might be one of the most promising tips, thanks.

    Got to take a rain check on part II, but you keep up the good work for the both of us until then!

  • Surprising - coffee is something I quickly adjust to, and after a couple of weeks, it's just what I need to reach normal. Guarana works more even, but I keep reverting to 0 caffeine every 1 - 3 years, lol. The endless circle ...

  • I once had a special alarm clock: It was a red punching ball that would blink and go off like a siren. Hanging from the ceiling. To snooze, it had to be punched. But every time, it pulled itself closer to the ceiling, so I had to get up more and more to hit it.

    Crazy times, but I managed to switch to softer methods. Your idea is still the way I go for the "last resort" alarm, #3.

  • For my ex wife, I got one of those bottles with time markers. Sounds like the solution, but she was not able to maintain it: Know where it is, keep it clean etc.

    Water is no miracle drug, but when dehydrated, it really is. That applies to many deficiencies, such as oxygen in the air, micronutrients, macronutrients.

  • Am I ever going to stop feeling like this? :(

    Jump

  • A start is a start, and these can be the first steps into a better life.

    That being said, you are not where you want to be yet, and you need to keep going in the right direction. Don't worry about how fast you do that, but keep going. Many people are disappointed at how little they can change within a month, but astonished how much they can do in a year when they stick to it. Would be too bad if you only ever experience the former.

    What is missing? I can think of two things:

    1. More methods. What are you doing already? Do you have ideas how you could do a little more while the meds are peaking? E. g. set a 30 minute timer after taking them, then set another 20 minute timer during which you work on the thing that would improve your life, just as a random example. Or cut out a thing that holds you back, such as doomscrolling during peak, or other vices.
    2. Change in treatment or additional diagnostic. Different meds working better, therapist, exercise and diet? Additional co-morbidity, such as depression or a physical condition making you tired?

    And definitely no baby now. Nope, nope, nope. Recipe for disaster.

    1.5 years into treatment, I am both astonished at how much I improved as well as how much there still is to do.

  • I have insurance, but pay out-of-pocket anyway. There is a theoretical path to get it covered, but not worth the hassle, as long as the meds help me generate the money.

  • I guess that can happen when you are a type who gets calm from stims? Also, I think it's the "high" you acclimate to, but, at least in theory, the medical effect targeting ADHD symptoms could work the same.

  • This is going to be wilder than I thought. 12 hours in, still legs shaking and eyes wide open. I even made a fruit and raw veggie plate instead of binge eating candy at night, omg!

    I feel like a raver with a plate of apple slices.

    Plus side: Still killing it with the todos.
