  • I feel you and that’s frustrating.

    I went back recently as an adult over 30 and was basically told the same thing. What’s frustrating to me is that I was diagnosed as a teenager. I was on Ritalin, Adderall, Straterra, and more. There is documentation. But my parents lost it all so it’s like it never happened. What’s even more frustrating is that I’m going to the same exact doctors office as when I was a teenager, but they don’t have those records anymore. Apparently they purge records after 15 years. So basically they have to start with me as an undiagnosed adult, which they don’t really do.

    They said the same things to me, I have a good job, house, relationship, and all that, so I must not be doing too bad. But what bothers me is the level I feel I should be operating at compared to how I’m actually functioning. When I was in the military there was enough structure for me to function decently. Now that I’m out and higher up in my workplace with less supervision/accountability/structure, I find myself struggling more with my ADHD symptoms. But no medical professionals seem to care so I guess I’ll just keep self medicating…


  • I moved to a smaller instance today. One thing that I’ve noticed that isn’t the same, is the Top All Time is showing different posts and vote counts on certain subs. I think I’ve noticed it only happens in the subs that I’ve interacted from the small instance for the first time. Or, if someone from my small instance interacted with it last week, there will be 7 days of history, but nothing beyond that. IDK if that’s true or not, just what I’ve observed today.

    I’ve subscribed to all the same communities as when I was on lemmy.world, but my feed seems slower and quieter.
