Question: what stimulants have you tried? Is it possible to try something at a lower dosage, or an alternative stimulant? And what non-stimulants have you tried?

I’m a late diagnosis and have been titrating vyvanse for 3 months now (started at 20mg and moved up to 50mg). I’ve never taken Adderall but from my understanding, as it’s slow release, it should give a ‘smoother’ experience through the day. I ended up settling on 40mg as for me it’s the right balance of benefits vs. side effects. Possibly paradoxically, it’s lowered my resting heart rate - I assume this is as a result of not operating from a place of constant fear anymore.

Microdosing is something I’ve also had my eye on for a while, but until you can get medical grade, properly regulated tinctures, I wouldn’t risk touching it.

I got the Pokémon ones as junior sizes go up to an EU 39! My only regret is that I didn’t get both colours.

Are you suggesting those as alternatives for outside? Is it this brand you’re talking about?

I watched GG on repeat for literal years. Must have seen it over 20 times? Then AYITL happened and I can’t watch it again, because it really took it out of being a ‘product of it’s time’ and made it almost impossible to look past how much Rory sucks.

Agree, the shame and embarrassment I felt about trying Crocs disappeared the moment I took my first step in them. I now hate wearing any shoes that are not Crocs.

Oooh this is what I did too - recent convert here, I saw them becoming the new ‘fashion’ and I’m weak and decided to try them because people would not shut up about how comfy they were.

Now my favourite part about coming home is taking off my outdoor shoes and getting to put the Crocs on. They have no business feeling that divine. If I lived in a more temperate and dry place, I’d buy more for outdoor use. Any shame or embarrassment I may have initially felt about wearing them is gone.

Mean Girls - this is my absolute comfort movie. Elf is mandatory watch every Christmas and I never get bored of it.

Movies I’ll always sit down and watch if I see them on TV that I’ve not seen mentioned yet:

  • Breakfast Club
  • Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
  • Time Bandits
  • 12 Monkeys
  • Muppet Treasure Island

Guess it depends on the country.

Right now, UK public sector is absolutely dire. A lot of us are wildly overworked and underpaid. I’ve honestly considered going back to the private sector because I could be earning about £10-15k/pa more, but at least in my specific sector I have guaranteed job security and some (largely false at this point) sense of making a positive contribution to the society I live in.

Job progression isn’t easy, especially now because of cuts and recruitment freezes. There’s no benefits other than always getting public holidays off. Our pensions were wrecked in 2015 and won’t even compensate for it.

Yeah that’s exactly why I paid for it. Think it’s a great app and want to support them over time. Agree that free version serves the purpose just as well though!
