Sync is phenomenal, imo. It gets less traction here because it’s not FOSS and the price to remove ads is pretty high, but in terms of features and visuals it’s by far my favourite. Great customisation too.
I’ve tried probably a dozen apps, but can’t get anything else to look and feel as nice as Sync.
Yeah, that’s pretty much my experience, except it only gets harder to actually drift off the older I get.
Some nights, I do “count sheep”, but with lists…
I’ve tried lots of “counting sheep” variations, but most are too boring for my ADHD brain to be able to maintain for longer than a minute. It’s really hard to find something I’m interested in enough to be able to focus on, but not so much that thinking about it actually keeps me awake.
I think so? I especially wish I could do it at night, it’s so hard to fall asleep when your brain refuses to turn off. I am so envious of people who can just shut their eyes and have no thoughts and fall asleep in a couple of minutes.
Why is this so relatable.
If you ever figure it out, let me know.
I’ve done loads of Wasgij jigsaw puzzles with family over holidays, they’re great. If anyone here thinks this sounds like a fun idea I encourage you to check them out!
You guys have self control? I just start ranting if my special interests come up.
I think it’s pretty widely available with English subtitles if you’re interested. There was also an American remake, but I don’t know whether the portrayal was as good there, I didn’t watch it.
Shows that were progressive for their time wont necessarily hold up to todays values.I try to keep that in mind when rewatching shows, as long as they werent blatently horrible for their time I can usually enjoy them.
Yeah for sure! I am pretty good at putting things in their historical context, so old media that would now be considered offensive or insensitive doesn’t bother me much on a first viewing. But rewatching things a decade or more later can be eye-opening (and almost differently difficult) because I’m not prepared for it.
It’s been almost a decade since I watched it (so my opinion might change on a rewatch now, and my memory isn’t perfect) but as I recall Saga Norén from the original Danish/Swedish version of The Bridge was a pretty good portrayal. At least as non-masking characters go.
This is great advice, it’s pretty much the same approach I’ve had to do.
Anything involving leaving the house is basically impossible for me due to required activation energy and associated anxiety. Investing in a good treadmill was one of the best decisions I ever made. Got one with a shelf built in for a phone/tablet so I can watch videos while I run. I know that type of exercise is not what was asked for, but the same principle applies to body weight exercises or free-weight training you can do if you buy a set of weights:
That was my assumption as well. Sucks that measures like this are required but understandable all the same.
Oh man, I used to love watching Storm Chasers back in the day! Though I wish it focused more on the storms and less on the drama. I get the itch to rewatch it every now and then, but I can’t bring myself to do it after Tim’s death. He was always my favourite.
For me personally I prefer taking smaller doses of the instant release as needed instead of the slow release capsules, gives me more control of the effect.
I don’t know what dosage you’re on but I’ve tried a wide gamut and one of the things I disliked about being on a higher dose slow release was the heart palpitations it gave me, combined with the very common loss of appetite. Nothing medically serious apparently but it felt uncomfortable.
If you’re prone to hyperfocus uncontrollably (as I am) then be warned that for me at least Methylphenidate can often exaggerate this problem which can be troublesome, so keep an eye on that.
I have never been more seen than this comic.
Yes all the time! Books and TV series are the worst culprits, but games too, especially long ones.
I don’t know if it’s poor object permanence or just a lacking working memory, but it’s not just that I burn out on things/move to another interest but how quickly it can happen.
If I don’t actively engage with something almost daily my interest in it starts slipping almost immediately, and if I go four days without watching an episode of a show for example I typically find my motivation or drive for finishing it almost gone already. It’s as if only the current moment exists and anything I’m not doing right now might as well not exist, or at least feels very intangible and unimportant.
Same goes for other hobbies and projects, and games of course.
Oh my god I didn’t realize this was a thing but I also respond like that all the time.
Adding this as an issue on the Lemmy GitHub would be a great idea.
I think ljdawson is working on it for Sync. I assume that’s why he held off on implementing posting.
!alexandrite@lemmy.world is being developed as a Desktop-first Lemmy client, you could make a feature request over there.
I feel this. I was also diagnosed as an adult and I also pass well. The first time telling my friends about my then-new diagnosis was met with the reaction “what, no you’re not!” and I’m still mentally affected by that conversation. Dealing with guilt and imposter syndrome type feelings is tough. I don’t really have any advice but I know how you feel, at least.
