  • Well I’ll keep it short. Godt stressed and depressed and after way too long time not dealing with ot it got so bad i begged my girlfriend for help to force me to call for help. Talked to a psychiatrist and started taking methylphenidat and now i feel a lot better. Its been one and a half year now. I still have my upps and downs, brain fog, and days with nothing but distracted brain, but over all its going better.


  • I’ve been there far too often and beaten myself up for not doing anything to no help at all. After I finally dragged my “lazy” ass to the doc being depressed af and got a diagnosis i understood how bad i was. Now i have methylphenidat (Ritalin uno extended release) i can actually do something. I would never be able to do what i can now without it. I cannot see any other way or any technique that can work as well as my meds without also feeling like beating and wipping myself along at the same time. The meds makes the beating and wipping unnecessary and im just more happy.

    I hope you find a way, but if you know you have adhd and you have trouble please go talk with your doc about it.

    I’m sorry but I have no other recommendations than meds that I can confidently say will have a lasting effect. Then while on meds you can hopefully gain some new strong habits that over time can minimise the need for them, but learning those same habits without, will be nothing but self torture.



  • Already deleted organic maps and downloaded comaps instead and used it yesterday. Works great for navigation showing intersections and turns at a nice zoom level and clear guides. Love it over Google maps already.

    Only major downside is live traffic and also that map changes for closed roads doesn’t seem to update the navigation. The navigation still takes me down a temporary closed road that as far as I can see on osm.org is marked as closed but I’m not sure who’s fault it is because the road is also still visible on osm.org and only by selecting the road and looking at metadata can I see that it is closed. Not sure how and where to report this bug.

    I was constantly bored in elementary school and needed constant stimuli to be interested in learning anything. I cought on to most things immediately and it was easy so I never did any homework because why bother when it’s just easy so felt like I was just lazy and also got called out on sloppy work because I just didn’t bother spending time on it. All hand in assignments were always written the night before and always got a medium to high grade so why bother doing anything more? That severely bit me in the bum years later in university and fast forward another 10 years and I now have an ADHD diagnosis and in hindsight things are now finally making sense.
