Why did I read this like patch notes on a game?

Thank you for this.

It’s from stimilant medication for ADHD :(

Thank you very much though.

Anybody got a sense evil spell prepared?

Everybody check your trinkets and see which is glowing. We need an ID on this creature before initiative.

Go reread the person I responded to before you entered the conversation. They said their depression was caused by an external factor. That is who I replied to, and the reply you’ve been desperate to strawman ever since.

At what point did I gatekeep depression by agreeing with someone else about their diagnosis?

You’re being a little ridiculous right now.

For the second time, stop trying to turn my reply to someone else into a blanket statement. I understand picking needless fights with strangers on the internet qualifies as dopamine seeking behavior. Maybe you should be looking inward.

This is precisely the pedantic reply I expected.

Laymen differentiate between addressing things in their environment that cause increases in things like norepinephrine by the cause, environmentally, and not by the resulting chemical release in the brain.

Referring to both chemical treatment, such as taking medication, and environmental treatment, such as quitting a job that causes you stress (or depression, as in the conversation above) as “chemical” is the kind of nitpicky BS that would only further obfuscate the discussion, serving absolutely zero purpose unless you were the type to want to start a fight over nothing.

You may as well refer to everything the brain ever experiences as “chemical.” It’s would be the most literal interpretation, and would serve zero purpose as a method of communication. Much like your conversation with me.

Don’t reframe my statement addressing someone’s specific situation into a blanket comment. That person said their depression had a reason (that could be addressed, and once addressed, the depression was resolved.)

Speaking to that instance, it probably wasn’t chemical, because if it was, it wouldn’t have resolved with action taken independent of chemical treatment, but only with a combination.

I am not the person to try and strawman about depression.

And now it is also my favorite bee anatomy fact!

If your depression is for a reason, then yeah, probably not chemicals.

Mine is treatment resistant major depression and very much chemicals. Took me until I was in my midthirties to find the solution. There’s hope even for people with bad chemistry!

This only works if you have a set schedule.

I have a schedule at work that shifts randomly from morning to night and this resulted in me forgetting my meds for my Monday shift. So many errors…

Excellent source of Huh?

My ADHD has got this covered.

The Cheat is grounded! We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off, not so you could throw light switch raves!

I’m not simping for a brand. But I want to add that you can use their app to get their garbage, and get a decent amount of it, cheap still. (Online exclusives, then it’s like a box. I don’t remember the name.) Less than $10 and I’m full.

(This post brought to you by, I’m on a medication that makes eating really difficult, but sometimes I can tolerate Taco Bell and when the ability to eat happens I usually have just a few short minutes to procure and start eating before the moment passes. Which is why I’ve been sitting next to a bowl of my favorite pasta for two hours and have had to reheat it twice. T_T )

I have experienced aaaaAAaa pretty much daily for years.

I am phenomenally excited about that. I hope it becomes a universal thing.

I want to offer you a new superpower.

When I say, “bless you,” when someone sneezes, if someone asks me, “You aren’t religious! Who are you asking to bless me?” I answer;

“No one. I’m the one blessing you.”

So I guess, this time, you could say, “You’re doing a good thing.”

If I open my door Thursday night and go to put candy in someone’s bag and see a toothbrush, I’m giving them a second handful of candy.

I wonder if this is what people felt like when they first started reading about AIDs. We used to have it so good…
