  • I actually got an ADHD diagnosis from a psychologist at this clinic. It’s weird, this is my 2nd visit with her (nurse practitioner) about it and after the atomoxetine she gave me didn’t help she wants to treat me for bipolar (she didn’t specify what type, idek if she actually diagnosed me cuz idk if she can even do that but she prescribed me the aripiprazole). I’m just really confused about this whole thing :(

    atomoxetine straight off the bat

    yea Yeah, that’s what she did during our last appointment and it didn’t help

    Idk if this keeps being weird I’ll have to see if I can extract my ADHD diagnosis docs from them and go somewhere else :(

    This bipolar thing is really scaring me though, “looking into it”, as they say. I asked some friends and family and they said they never noticed anything like manic or depressive episodes from me

    Thank you for your input, tbh I’ve just been stressing about this all day I’m gonna go try to relax




  • Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I don’t understand why she jumped to this diagnosis after maybe a combined total of spending 30 mins talking with me (This was our 2nd appointment and I saw her for the first time in person today).

    Your experience of hypomania doesn’t really sound like me at any time… I think. Occasionally I will get very invested in topics or projects which brings me a lot of satisfaction and I might sleep a bit less than usual and use a lot of caffeine to stay focused but I don’t really feel more confident or any kind of all-encompassing euphoria or any desire to engage in any risky or impulsive behavior out of the ordinary. Idk :( I guess sleeping less is the most concerning… last time this happened I just felt “okay” as opposed to my usual “things are hopeless and I’m barely hanging on”. I have a lot of anxiety about my health normally so it’s hard to tell what’s a real symptom or what I have convinced myself I have. It’s hard to remember my behavior exactly too… I’m not sure if I was sleeping less or not last time.

    Do you have depressive episodes? What are they like for you? I have been feeling pretty bad in the last month or so (although I usually always feel bad these days, depression, anxiety, etc). That same NP gave me some medication for my ADHD that didn’t really help and made me feel a lot more anxious and maybe depressed around the same time. Then some other condition I have was getting worse. It’s just so confusing :( I guess I have good reasons to feel worse than usual?

    I’ll ask my therapist about it tomorrow. It could get weird though because they both work in the same small clinic and my therapist referred me to her. Maybe I could ask my primary doctor about it too.















  • STOP DOING NAT

    SYSTEMS PARTICIPATING IN THE INTERNET WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE UNREACHABLE OUTSIDE OF THEIR LOCAL SUBNET

    Wanted to do it anyway, as a bit? We had a tool for that: it was called a “FIREWALL”

    YEARS OF HEADER MANGLING yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for going beyond variable length globally routable subnet masking

    “Yes, you can reach my system at 134.84.167.99 but only through port 483. Oh, you want to play a game together? Let me forward a port (??) or we can use STUN to traverse my NAT (???)” - statements made up by the utterly deranged

    LOOK at what network ““engineers”” have been demanding your “respect” for all this time, with all the routers & physical networking layers we built for them (These are REAL techniques, devised by REAL network engineers)

    iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j TTL --ttl-set $(cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl)

    iptables -A NO_PROXY -t nat -d 0.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
