#ADHD ers: please help with an open-ended question regarding medication. Looking for advice based on people's own personal experience, not 'studies have shown'. I would love for a few people to share their personal experience of being on a stimulant for the first time, especially as an adult. For some reason I'm really nervous about taking it for the first time, I think because I have so many other chronic health issues, particularly chronic pain, and I'm really really really hoping this helps me. All of my other health problems have resisted treatment for 15 years so I have a lot of trepidation around having tried dozens and dozens of ineffective treatments.

I don't know exactly what my question is, besides 'what should I expect?' A big part of my problem is that I always attributed my functional difficulties to how poorly I felt, but I'm feeling a little hopeful that maybe the reverse might be true, that my difficulty functioning has caused me extreme stress that has led to my feeling so poorly. Has anyone had a similar experience? I would love to hear about (hopefully success, but be honest) stories of how treating ADHD with medication has intersected with other health conditions. Do you have any advice about navigating these early stages, particularly dealing with side-effects, navigating with practictioners, sleep interactions, and finding the right medication/ dose?

I'm looking for advice based on personal experience, not on 'studies have shown'. Thank you!

Any #gigs that count as #rock or #punk on Saturday 30th in #Tallinn? Any new small venues somewhere with surprising local #bands?

Only dug up the factoid that Heezer and Raider are gonna play @ Krypt. But I wasn’t overly excited by either of those, based on tracks available online. :-/

Gonna meet a friend in Tallinn, and he'd like to see some live #music. He prefers it loud, I'd be happy w/more sophisticated styles too... but whatever.

(In any case, no #metal, plz.)

With my squishy ☕-adled brain I forgot which large #FOSS project(s) recently chose for #Forgejo adoption to migrate away from either #Gitlab, #Github, or #Atlassian code forges. Can anyone enlighten me?

@forgejo this may be a good one for delightful forgejo curated list. Add an "Major adopters" section..

I have a very specific request:

A friend wants to convince their organization to ditch Pinterest.

To help them out, I'm looking for links to information from reliable sources about how its ability to drive traffic has changed in recent years, about accessibility issues, about the malware problems, anything like that which could support their cause.

If anyone has good sources at hand, I'd love your help. Thank you.

(No scolding/mansplaining required.)

Boosts appreciated!

Fedizens with a big follower-count (800-1k and above)

I regularly post fundraisers for trans folks (in the US) that need to get away from the states that have grown extremely anti-trans in their legislations and also in general societal environments. Some of the folks who need to evade their states are very young as well and would need critical assistance.

I have also included some fundraisers of people from gaza fleeing the genocide.

My question is: how many of you would be quite comfortable with me (regularly) tagging you under the posts (to your choice of visibility and consent) to remind/request you to boost them?

you may let me know in the reply section or DM me.
