  • I joined Reddit thanks to 3rd party apps, and when they turned their back on them I was out too.

    I used one of those automated programs that used the old.reddit API to overwrite all my comments. I took a break for lunch, thinking to delete my account afterwards, but when I came back my account had been permanently banned.

    So it was definitely like one of those “You can’t quit, you’re fired” type of situations.

    From time to time I visit the site because of search results, but from what I can tell, all the main subreddits are filled with bots reposting the same content from 5 years ago.







  • Just got diagnosed last week, and I am well into adulthood.

    It’s a bit early yet. I am on starter meds and have a follow up appointment in a few weeks. Already though I have noticed impulse control is much better. It’s like I have a time machine that’s given me a few extra moments to respond to stimuli. Anxiety levels are also way down, and I don’t feel the frazzled need to jump to the next thing, trying to get a dopamine fix.

    Trying now to pursue a 3 prong style of treatment: medication, forming new habits, and mindfulness/observation. I am doing mood journaling to try to capture my experience.
