Guanfacine and clonidine are two non-controlled meds approved for ADHD. They are second line treatments; all the first line treatments are stimulants, because they have the best evidence behind them.
You might want to look at swapping the Tmobile hotspot for the much better deal from Calyx: https://calyxinstitute.org/membership/internet - it's Tmo by default but falls back to Sprint when Tmo is unavailable so it'd add a fourth network to your redundancy :)
My brain doesn't produce the same amount of dopamine as a non-ADHD human's brain. It's morally neutral to fix that with medication, same as it's morally neutral to wear glasses, imo.
Meditation + medication is such a great combo; so many people with ADHD get burned trying to meditate unmedicated and find it miserable. A friend wrote a great twitter thread about meditation+ADHD a couple years back: https://twitter.com/ryanwheff/status/1181339754798780416
As I’ve said elsewhere, this wasn’t a paid post, and I’m scrupulous about disclosing conflicts of interest when they do occur. Amusingly I’m an investor in two other ADHD related services, but didn’t mention either in the post :)
The thing I found useful about it was it arranged a bunch of useful CBT content on a number of different ADHD coping skills into 5 minute chunks with 4-7 chunks per module/topic that I could listen to AND read along with (I also listen to audio books on 2x while staring at the kindle book, lol) while I emptied my dishwasher in the morning. I had a pretty good routine going with that for a while and did a dozen or maybe 20 of the modules? I can’t see the list since my sub expired, but I remember modules on relationships, organizing (that one sucked), anger management, emotions, overwhelm, and lots of other good stuff.
I found the content modules the most helpful; I joined their coworking sessions a few times and those were fun too. I found the sort of “task” things you’d get assigned in the modules less helpful as I’d just sign up for all of them and then do none of them lol. But the content itself was v good.
I did like 40% of the content over the year I used it - it’s got some great stuff in it. I churned at the end of the year but I’ll probably pick it back up again soon; I definitely feel it was worth the price of admission (especially compared to like… a single session of therapy)
As I said elsethread, I have no connection or financial interest in inflow aside from having met them through YC and generally finding them to be nice folks. I’m actually extremely scrupulous about noting when I do have a conflict of interest like that, for what it’s worth!
Hey there! I used inflow for like a year and liked it, but churned for now. I’ll probably use it again in the future though, it’s a good app. I have no affiliation with the founders aside from meeting them through YC, fwiw.
If it was an ad it wasn’t a very good one, lmao (it was not an ad)
TL;DR, of the men asked a series of questions about sexual misbehavior that met legal definitions of attempted / completed rape but did not use the “r” word, 6-13% admitted to at least one offense, and 50% of those across both studies were repeat perpetrators with an average of 6 offenses each (and a median of 3, so there were some who were super-offenders).
The studies cited only looked at male perpetrators, an obvious limitation, but I think the work is really relevant nonetheless.
Well put. I’m always amused by arguments of the form “but this isn’t just a tech problem” - people get so mad about limiting the scope to one’s own expertise and experience, but also accuse you of overreach when you try to generalize beyond it! Can’t win.
