As a psychology nerd:

• the lack of understanding and empathy for others (even when their opinions are different or "wrong"

• The lack of understanding of how behavior is driven and encouraged to change.

• The comfort level with looking at something very complex and assuming you know it deeply in moments (referring to short form video "teaching" psychology and mental health stuff)

• The overall disconnect between the physical medicine community and the psychological/mental health communities (i.e. mental health is a huge driver in cancer, autoimmune, and other diseases)

• I could go on. Learning more is my passion but damn it's so depressing when I begin to understand something and see the abounding ignorance on it

I'm guessing this is not a required demographic question in Canada.

I was the same way. I would drink tons of caffeine to slow down my brain (which made me feel productive because I could focus), but I learned to ignore the physical anxiety it gave me. I would fall asleep instantly because I was just exhausted all the time (and didn't know, if you can believe it).

If I got to a quiet place like nature I would get butterflies and it turns out it was because I got away from the distractions of daily life and could finally feel that anxiety I learned to ignore.

Long story short, turns out I'm autistic and it was a form of masking where your body is so uncomfortable with being seen/being a problem that it will literally convince you that you're fine. Wild. Glad I figured it out.

So I was this person, and I didn't figure it out until later in life.

The trick is, with ADHD, caffeine will slow down your brain but it still speeds up your body (still a stimulant). So too much, and you will be tired and jittery.

Oh, good to know. I appreciate the info!

What's AMP and why is it undesirable?

Leave now. Fuck your stuff.

1. get a cab

2. get a Greyhound to an area with a better outlook.

3. look for roommates in your destination city on the ride

Some of us got it*

(lol)

Right now water because I'm at work. At home.. more for sure.

Having a variety of drinks nearby is a common autism/neurodivergent thing (ask me how I know). Not sure if that applies to you but there but where they are all distinctly different... Uh maybe look into it lol.

You sure? I usually have a good eye for that stuff and I don't see it.

Most of us got it lol

If they're brand new that would be fine, if they have been used, it may be even more dangerous because they're full of trace fumes.
