    I’m not sure they consider it solving your problem but throwing your hands in the air and giving up is not a solution. And there really is no magic bullet. Even with medication you will need to take steps to self adjust your own behavior, it’s unavoidable and hard.

    You may miss alarms it’s part of the process of making the habit. You may forget, but aiming for a goal of starting that habit is the point.







  • I also urge people to be careful with medication. Dosing is important. I was put on a high level of medication and it basically just cracked me out 24/7. I would tell people it was helping me but it held me back a lot. Several of my friends of victims of the same issues. The drugs gave me all the serotonin I needed and it kinda kept me from doing anything at all instead of leveling me out where I could focus.

    It took a lot of self reflection to see the damage it was doing.

    Medication is a valuable tool but listen to your support structures and let your doctors know how you are responding to your meds.


  • I often find some ADHD people (myself included for a long time) for some reason automatically shun the simple ideas like this. ALOT of them really are helpful and it does take ALOT of will power. Especially for someone with executive function disorder.

    Maybe I’m just a one off case but after putting in years of effort the habits I made have really helped me. And I can feel the damage that occurs when I stop doing them.

    You can install imperatively using nice profiles. So you the OP can set up the base distro in a way their SO can’t break. Then any extra software can be installed imperatively using nix profiles. Any installed software will work as normals. Checking the normal places for configurations if their SO even needs to go that far
