I’m nitpicking, but you asked. Order would be 123 from left to right but honestly none of them look like they’re happy to be here so would probably just skip.

Accurate. Especially to the first 30 min of Romulus.

Jesus fuck holy hell this was me down to the letter. Only difference was my meds worked for probably a year, which made the drop in productivity even more obvious. Like a ‘why brain no worky’ moment that just curved down over time. I had other shit going on though that I like to partially attribute, plus my med spiking up to 450 a month was enough for me to get off meds which was even more horrifyingly bad. Now 2 years later I’m back to being unproductive and kicking myself 10 times harder because I know what I’m capable of. Queue the endless anxiety / stress / guilt cycle. Now I have to go through finding another doc, then 6 months of scaling whatever med, that’s if I ever remember after work that I need to do it to begin with. Only time I ever remember is laying in bed at night losing sleep because of the amount of anxiety I have from not performing.

Title sounds like a 9 year old trying to look up porn for the first time. Fuck off bot.

Yeah my issue is my hyperfixation is gaming. Other hobbies every now and then, but never anything useful like programming, even though that would be a major boon. Anything learning-wise and my brain just shuts down, finds everything it can to distract, etc. when I’m medicated though? Yeah, I’m def the dude on the left. Power through anything, learn anything. Literally feel like the guy in Limitless when my meds are working.

Sorry to hear that man, hope things get better for you.

Wow. With everything else going on this is a breath of fresh air. I didn’t realize the scale was already that massive on green side. Probably because I live in a southern state, but I have noticed a massive amount of windmills going up. Anyway, thanks for the post! Definitely brightened my day.

Maintain. Profits. Jesus fucking Christ it will never end.

I had a rough night, unable to sleep, kept up by my failures and lack of productivity haunting me. Was up literally all night. That morning was probably the most clear headed I’d been, got a bunch of shit done while just utterly exhausted. What the fuck brain.

I’d much sooner assume that they’re just fucking stupid and talking out of their ass tbh.

All these fuckin Nazi bitches are just playing dress up barbie and thumping their chests anyway. They need to be knocked down a peg, hell, into a ditch. I’m all for peaceful protest and freedom of speech but that doesn’t include racist Nazi shit. They were there to intimidate. The best thing the community can do is band together and show those fucks they aren’t afraid. Kudos to them.

One of the main factors that made me decide to go get a diagnosis at 30 is I would ask a coworker a question and struggle, I mean REALLY struggle to stay focused just to hear the answer to the question I just asked them. Like, I asked them, wtf belrsin??? Sometimes corrections in sleep and diet can make a difference here and there, at least for me, but if you’ve tried everything and literally are suffering from it, go get checked. Because if you do, and get medicated, you’ll feel like a god damn superhero. It is insane the difference it makes when you’ve been dealing with your symptoms for decades.

Nah dude, not boring at all. You’re improving yourself and commenting on your process may be a push for someone to start their own journey. For me at least it showed I’m not the only one out there with this similar chain of thought. Thanks for sharing!

This sounds like exactly what I need to go pro with my APIs as I deal with it at my job a lot but there’s usually a frustration to these types of games that just makes me uninstall it. Hoping this is different for me as I really do want to improve myself.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I actually do still use it, my comment was just more toward the changes they’ve made and my perceived inability to remove or change it.

The ‘Plex suggestions’, the constant return of rental prices when doing a search instead of just my media library. I had to remove a bunch of menu items they automatically added without my cosent during their last major update which seems to be when it all started. The search bit is especially angering because it’s lagging load times as it’s searching these online sources for rentals I don’t want instead of just pulling up the returns on my local media server. If there’s a setting disabling it I must have missed it because when they introduced the garbage I immediately scoured the settings to try and turn it off. Those are the main two off the top of my head.

Honestly ever since Plex started going the enshittification route and hocking their fucking bullshit instead of just being a home server it’s been irritating the shit out of me. The only thing they aren’t doing at this point is adverts live vids.

I think my frustration is rooted in the fact that I don’t get to have enough time or money to try anything to the extent to figure out wtf it is I want to try. Its the ultimate killer to realize I’ll never have enough money set aside to ever even try some of the major things I’ve actually been interested in. My job is in IT and I do have a passion for it, but god damn would I love to own either a game shop or simple store. Something that puts me with the people of my neighborhood, gives me face time, and allows me to build a business with providing them with either a necessity or a hobby they’re excited to get started into.

This is literally me this week. Came in Monday to folks having knee jerk panic reactions then are unreachable to properly diagnose or, heaven forbid, fix the issue. Was definitely important enough to wreck my Monday though.

‘Last 10 months’ is a really weird way to word that. 10 months is literally over 3/4ths of the year. It’s fucking embarassing at this point that the US has fallen this far behind when we should have been leading the charge on this from day 0. Still good news though and glad to know China is making a concerted effort.
