I suspect it’s our moral duty to remind this as often as we can :)

Drink water. This sounds trite, but many people don’t drink enough to start with and stimulants dehydrate. So drink even more water.

15·2 years agoI have both and I think it’s better to know, independent of the outcome.
Yup. Music is my main regulation mechanism. For emotions, for concentration, you name it.
And sometimes it’s sludge metal, sometimes it’s electro swing, sometimes it’s jazz Bach.
Not exactly the same, but I’m really glad monolord released an instrumental-only version along the “normal” one. https://piped.video/watch?v=7HCUR7y8ziM&t=12
I don’t know. I was making rice today and the moment I left kitchen (for a nano second, of course) it burned.
Here’s my today’s rice recipe:
- put some oil in the pot
- put a cup of rice and set the heat to max
- add salt, a clove of garlic and a couple of cardamom seeds
- mix until rice changes colour
- think how well you have everything under control
- blink (I swear the new avatar has nothing to do with it!), take the burnt rice off the stove and throw it away
- realise I forgot my medication
- take another pot and repeat the steps, but avoid blinking
- when drive changed colour, add 1.5 cups of water
- reduce the heat and cover the pot
- realise that the pot is too small
- pour everything into a bigger pot
- add heat
- blink and realise the water is boiling out
- move it from the heat, reduce the heat
- wait
- wait some more
- move the pot back but turn the heat off
- wait 15 minutes
- rice is done!
- realise it’s not salted but take the win and feed your child
Different stims have different effect. Also 6 weeks could be too early to settle on the dosage. With those three dosage is highly personal and not related with things like age, weight, etc. Heck, sometimes one might need a booster just because they’re tired.
Good luck and congratulations with this small victory!
