#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!

Ist hier jemensch #Anwalt und kann mir sagen, ob Polizei überhaupt ohne irgendeine ersichtliche Begründung und ohne Blaulicht mit einem Van auf eine Fahrradstraße fahren darf?

Hi Fedi!

Tragically my (potential) academic network is all on #BlueSky, and it proves tricky to get them to follow a #fedibridge account.

Has anyone ever set up a bot-run BlueSky account to mirror one's #mastodon feed?

Liebe Autist*innen!
Wer war von euch in WIEN in einem Gymnasium oder was Ähnlichem und hat sich dort WOHL gefühlt?

Sohn einer Freundin verzweifelt derzeit massiv an einem normalen Gymnasium mit humanistischem Hintergrund.

Es ist dringend.
Plz #boost4reach
