    I was diagnosed when I was about 5 and I’m 30ish now.

    You should make sure your child knows what you think is going to happen with the medicine and that it’s ok to talk about how it feels to them.

    When I was that age, it made me feel like I was containing a part of myself. I didn’t really understand that was pent up anxiety not literally part of me trying to bust out of my chest. My parents are super conservative which didn’t help as it turned into “take your pill, you’re not a good person or someone we want to be around.”

    This is assistance to help them succeed NOT getting rid of something undesirable. The way you go about this will be more important than the actual drug. A good doctor will help with dosage and brand.

    Focalin, Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse, Astarys or any stimulant based medication gave me pent up feelings of anxiety or tightness.

    Non-stimulant based ones only really target the executive function. So if they don’t have the hyperactivity that can also be useful.

    I stopped when I was 18 because “I didn’t feel like myself” which people usually refer to as being a robot. This kinda messed up my 20’s and I had to re-learn who I was and how to function in the real world which was rough.

    I recently started up again and it really helps smooth out the edges of having to remember what I’m supposed to be doing or when I get stuck hyper focused on something.

    I can’t stress enough that this isn’t a fix, not everything works for everyone, and the most important advice I can give you is to find healthy habits. We do not function as normal everyday people do and that’s ok. Just gotta find what works and be consistent.




  • Yeah, that would be a good description. I didn’t use any fancy yeast, just one of the Flishmann(sp?) packets.

    I over cooked the crust a little bit before toppings so the edges were pretty tough but it was pretty good in the middle.

    All in all I learned quite a bit. I think my next one will be more akin to a NYC pie. I like thinner but airy crust. I don’t think I can match the flavor tho. I’ve heard it requires the water from the city to come close but I won’t know till I try.

    Thank you!











  • I’m the same but IT for hedge funds. Everything to them is an emergency and I can learn new tech almost over night.

    Ask me to take a test on the finite details of the tech and I’m screwed (so no certs).

    I am the go to guy for anything urgent or new because they know I’ll focus on nothing else until I’m done. Sometimes they will Door dash my lunch because they know I’ll forget.

    I took wanted to be an engineer but I cannot study at all.


  • Sorry for the silly questions but I’m new to this and still learning how this stuff works. Is there a guide for noobs to do this that you’re aware of? I own a domain and I’m trying to do exactly this.

    Also, would you recommend traefik over nginx? I am told that if I want to use the skills in a professional environment I should learn nginx but I’ve read it doesn’t have an interface and the configuration is manual.

    I’ve got pterodactyl running some game servers locally I’d like to open to my friends and this should be a secure way to do this.

    I also read below I should use a DNS if I don’t have a static IP. Does that throw a wrench in all this?
