Haha of course not But for example, I picked my next school based on where my elementary school friends went and insisted to my parents that this is where I wanted to be, despite i…

Sure we can manage without medicine (have done so for 25 years of my life) but constant struggling and arguing with yourself about small things is just not fun. The difference is i…

Thanks for the advise, I'll just stop lying to myself about my non-neurotypical brain that I have since being a child [0]. Who knew it would be that easy to overcome by just trying…

> None of you ever want to hear it, but everyone goes through this. It’s the human condition. Comments like this make me angry because it shows how much of a disconnect there is wi…

If you have resources and time to let your ADHD brain go free it can be fun, but it becomes a struggle when you try to be a working adult with normal job. I'm not even talking abou…

I too bought those shares with the anticipation that the price will go up due to the hype generated. I made a careful decision to do so by estimating that the traffic on /r/wsb wil…

I’m not a parent but I have adhd and working from home is extremely hard for me, much harder than I want to admit. I just can’t concentrate at home and always end up distracted and…

Yeah that’s a plausible theory

Living in Japan, the handling of the virus has been nothing but disappointing. We entered "state of emergency" but besides schools and a few stores closing nothing has changed. It …

My journey with ADHD has been a mix. I got diagnosed with 25 after someone here on HN pointed out that my motivation issues might not be normal and something worth checking out. We…

There was this AMA on reddit a couple months ago about someone writing about their experience in Japanese detention - https://www.reddit.com/r/japan/comments/cdqx4n/i_spent_20_da..…

Wow that first paragraph is an explanation I never heard before but nails the concentration part of ADHD

> And beyond that, this simply is a misconception and myth perpetuated by uneducated people. ADHD patients calm down when they take Adderall because they’ve been on it for years an…

I have adhd too and got my diagnosis when I was 25 because someone here in hackernews pointed out what I was fighting with isn’t normal or just laziness. It was eye opening for me …

this was a good read. I am currently myself spiraling down into depression and fighting against it. It's very interesting to try to get a grasp of what's going on and in the past y…

Also from Germany but moved to Japan for work. I never suspected ADHD until someone here on hackernews hinted at it, and even then the idea just seemed absurd. Went to a doc and th…

I had my appointment. It looks like I indeed might have ADD and a hint of depression. The next step is to try ADD medication and potentially undergo TMS treatment. Glad I learned t…

Thank you. I was suspecting that I might have ADHD for a while now but never got to actually test it. The country I'm living in is still very backwards when it comes to ADHD treatm…

Hi HN! I recently started a new 10-7 job and am currently suffering of loosing myself in daily worklife. It might be the change from 8-5 to 10-7 but it feels my free time is close …

I went to a recent tech conference and a few things came back when I read this article. In particular that the conf had a lot more female talkers than male ones (It was curated and…

I never did meditation but did a few "retreats" into other countries to get away from everything and just have some time for myself. I had a similar experience where it made 'click…

Will Holmes have to face any consequences for her company providing false results and making false promises or can she just walk away with a bag of money?

Don't fire without talking first. I'm not saying your innocent employee is lying but try to get both sites and possibly some proof (the messages). / EDIT: I missed the part where h…

Not rackspace but I had something similar with Google. I interviewed with them for a software engineer position but failed. On the next day a recruiter contacted me for a google ap…
