  • Would going thru the effort and trying to get medication solve my stress related issues?

    Solved? Nah, there’s little to nothing to be “solved” with medication.

    The sweet spot with medication can, however, bring one to a point where emotions are not as extreme.

    Anecdotally, I noticed that I had anger outbursts after I resumed medication. I would notice the contrast of the extreme emotion on the days I didn’t take meds, or when the meds had worn off.

    So, in my experience, meds could help mellowing the reactions. Note that when I say meds, I’ve only had dexies.

  • Since the calendar has already been mentioned, I’ll drop another of my tools.

    I check my pockets every time I leave a space, and confirm I’ve got Wallet, Keys, Phone. I do this at any transition: Leaving the house, a taxi, the office, a plane.

    Got kick started into the habit when I lost a big (for a kid) chunk of money. Felt so bad that I started the checks, and haven’t lost any of those three in many, many years (ง’̀-‘́)ง


  • When I encountered a similar situation I tried with the ikea speakers (Sonos Based) and I couldn’t get them to work without the sonos app, so I returned them.

    I figured that a solution could be having, in each room, a mini-pc (RPi or similar) running RuneAudio and a set of speakers connected via audiojack.

    I tried with 1 room and the proof of concept seemed to work, but didn’t invest on getting the rest of the house work.

    In the end went for a couple of portable Bluetooth speakers to have floating around the place. Cheap and simple
