I’d be delighted!

(I was having a wef wef issue but if anyone knows how to change my settings so I don’t need to pick the language on every comment I would appreciate the heads up!)

I know everyone talks about things relevant to them. But honestly there needs to be better work done on carers allowance and benefit. It is encouraging people to stay at home completely who could actually work particularly those in higher income jobs. Adding limits of 18.5hrs AND net maximum earnings where the penalty of going one cent over is complete cancellation of the benefit is bizarre. It essentially makes (mostly) women dependent on the state and on their husband. Many would be able to do part hours while the cared for child is in school but my god the paperwork is insane

I don’t seem to be able to post on the latest stuff

This is really a disgrace. 15 years since we lost a deposit for no reason as students. Older and wiser and own my own home now but to not have this properly coordinated at this stage is outrageous

Have to say I laughed at that too 😂. And Diego will put it up 4c and guaranteed the bars will put it up at least 10!

Oh interesting. I’ll give that a blast

I take my meds at home but I also bought like four of them so when I have the executive function to fill them I do it and I’m sorted for four weeks!

Food is different for me. When I first got diagnosed and medicated for ADHD I realised that I was ALWAYS hungry. Like always. I had never not been hungry in my life. I had been full/stuffed but hunger just does not work properly for me. Meds just suddenly made me recognise it. So I can eat my breakfast and not be craving food in ten minutes again.

Not a doctor but I reckon what I had thought was hunger was actually craving dopamine. So I was eating because I thought I was hungry and looking for the kick of sugary foods but I really just needed balanced dopamine levels

For me (piano player/singer and dabble in others) it’s a quick dopamine hit. I struggled most with the ‘boring’ part of training but I hyperfocused through a lot of it and my teacher thankfully new that I needed motivation through that so instead of just learning my exam pieces and technical exercises I was playing pop songs as well that I could sing along with myself etc.

The point I quit lessons was second year college with a new teacher where I spent all year on two pieces. I nearly lost my mind and never went back to lessons.

Even today I struggle to get myself to the piano but I can lose myself for hours and forget to eat or go to the bathroom and just float along on the sea of sound and dopamine 😂

Absolutely crazy. Particularly sitting in wet Ireland currently!
