well yes, it means we still have a very long way to go as a society edit: at least as community

wow I did not expect Linux to be this male dominated

I wish you the best wishes. I am unfortunately not yet at a stage where i can help :(. out of curiosity what is wrong with how it currently works on Linux, I don’t really have issues with it.

that house looks fucking sick

my tactic if the site looks trustworthy is always:

• find the explanation for the distribution I use
• ignore literally all the text
• just copy paste and execute everything that looks like a command in order in the terminal works like 8/10 times

yeah that’s probably it. because I fall in the same traps with TikTok and insta. every day I say to myself, today I won’t watch YouTube, but 15 minutes after the day begins I keep saying to myself: 1 video won’t hurt and the cycle repeats

I hear what you say and I agree with you that that shouldn’t be a Taboo. I however like myself more when unmedicated and don’t like to be dependent on them. so I think it’s better for me to try to get more into medication in the coming time but not see it as an end goal :)

thank you. I will look into dr Barkley and I think the idea of using like a fidget toy is a great idea as I often find myself playing with little pieces of metal or other things when I try to work. and I can also completely find myself in getting distracted by voices. but I often can’t turn them off once I start because it feels nice to constantly have voices around me haha

thank you for your advice. I do try to exercise once a week, I also live in the Netherlands so I bike every day. I try to eat healthier but that also often happens in bursts. and sometimes fall back onto chips and barely any cooking :)

thank you, I will go talk with my doctor again about renewing my medication

thank you for your insight. but I am actually diagnosed :)

wow that really cool!! I never thought about it in that way

thank you so much for all the suggestions. I will definitely try out some of your tips, and watch that video!!

the problem is that i do almost nothing in a day so i don’t understand how i could be overworked

yeah me too, and the big problem is that i pass all my tests so i have no incentive to do it differently

so you mean using the medication, not as an end goal but to use its benefits to make my life easier without medication?

i do have medication. its quite old and like 2 years past its expiry date because i stopped taking it years ago and now sometimes try it. I also have planned a appointment with a therapist they are however not specialised in adhd

i only use Reddit for technical questions on communities that don’t exist on Lemmy or are inactive. I’m not using Reddit anymore for browsing but I’m not gonna artificially limit myself from that great resource for some performative activism
