Not surprised you were ignored unfortunately. Lots of doctors are concerned about drug-seeking behavior and don’t take you seriously. I’d suggest starting with a therapist who is familiar with ADHD. Have them do an evaluation of you and then have them discuss with your doctor.
And if you haven’t already, get a sleep study done. My symptoms were diagnosed as ADHD several years ago after decades of confusion and frustration. Meds were truly life changing for me. But after a few years on meds, I began to wonder why I had ADHD. I wanted to know what was causing this — why was I the way I was.
I stumbled across a book called Sleep, Interrupted by an ENT named Steven Park. From that book (and from his website) I learned that sleep disruptions due to breathing issues are correlated with ADHD. From there I went down a rabbit hole of medical journal papers on the overlap between disordered breathing and ADHD. The symptoms of ADHD can be very similar to some of the symptoms of UARS, sleep apnea and mouth-breathing, and there is meaningful correlation. Sure enough I have mild sleep apnea and likely UARS. I hyper focused like crazy on improving nasal breathing, I tinkered with my sleep positions, started on OTC heartburn meds, and I totally gave up caffeine (and severely restricted alcohol). My quantitative and qualitative sleep and breathing metrics have improved and my ADHD symptoms have attenuated meaningfully. I don’t use a CPAP and will try to avoid one as long as I can. I still am on meds but at a drastically lower dosage than before.
Best of luck. Don’t give up.
I really really focus on their name. I say it to myself several times in my head. I look them in the eyes…
…and then they ask me what my name is because I was so hyper focused on theirs that I forgot to introduce myself. And then I forget their name due to my embarrassment…
I replaced an old prebuilt Windows Home Server with a custom built server running unraid about…7 years ago. unraid has been rock solid for me. Great product. Very scalable for the home user.
Highly recommend unraid and it’s well worth the one time license fee.
He’s rich not because of his salary (what Reddit pays him). He’s rich because of his equity/ownership in Reddit. But he can only monetize that if there are buyers.
For years this wasn’t a problem because private buyers and banks were happy to buy his shares or lend against them as collateral. However that market has been drying up over the past 18 months.
So he desperately needs to get to an IPO so he, and his Board of Directors and other stockholders, can dump their shares on an unsuspecting retail public market that doesn’t realize that the “profitability” was only achieved by destroying the user base, and that what they’ve actually bought is a ticking time bomb.
Eh. Frigate+Shinobi on Docker has been the simplest solution I’ve found. ZoneMinder was always difficult. BlueIris was a resource hog.
5 seconds of Googling shows that the Aztec and Inca both had ceremonial headdress/crown for the ultimate ruler. 5 seconds of Googling about the Maya and the Seneca did not turn up anything.
Thorstein Veblen (19th century sociologist) would probably explain the crown/headdress prevalence around the world as a form of conspicuous consumption (he coined the term). The ruler wears a ridiculous and impractical headdress that “wasted” hours and hours of labor to show his dominance, wealth, prestige and ability to waste (and coerce). I’m not a sociologist but I have read his Theory of the Leisure Class and it fits very cleanly in his theory.
Now why a crown and not a breastplate, eg? No idea. Maybe it’s simply the most conspicuous and ridiculous thing one can wear that serves absolutely no practical purpose (whereas a breast plate could be useful in war)
