u/Agitated_Cry_8793

Id like to start off by clarifying i acknowledge that reddit, obviously, cannot give me 100% accurate information and should not be used as a replacement for a doctor, i have my check in appointment scheduled in a few weeks, but my doctor isnt readily available for calls and im also a minor without a car so i cant really go back and forth asking about menial things that are probably either normal or mean nothing, you know?

-

With that, I am a pretty medicine sensitive person. I have combined adhd, but we decided that the lack of focus and motivation to do things was killing me, because combining that with depression kinda felt like a double whammy of no motivation. I came from Concerta where they started me on a generic brand single release so that i could start at a very low dose, and upon reaching 18mg we realized that it just wasnt working for me. It was not a dangerous type of "not working," just that the effects were a bit strong for me to be able to handle and still function.

-

I just started at 30mg Vyvanse, and i guess im just, not sure what to expect? I know everyone is different but i suppose im kind of just asking for your guys' experience with it to get a general idea, what side effects you guys experienced on the first day - until the first refill ( Im not sure what its like in other places but where i live in the US for controlled substances we only get 14 days worth and then the doctor has to submit another prescription. ) And what helped to get rid of them/How long it took to adjust?

I have some mild health anxiety so i get super hyper alert when something that i dont usually feel can be felt so this is kind of my way of reminding myself that im fine.

-

Currently its been about two hours since i took the medicine and i definitely feel energetic, like the kind of energetic that makes you wanna run around and do a bunch of things at once which on its own is a feeling i only get every few months lol. a¹i started the day off with a dizzy spell (which is normal for me,) but now that the medicine has kicked in its definitely gotten worse, and my resting heartrate has gone up to about 94~ from 75-80, which i assume is normal as its listed as minor side effects on various sources? I feel slightly "off" but thats something i always feel when i get dizzy/taking something new so im not sure if that can be attributed to the medicine or just placebo from anxiety. If I were to hold my hand out still im not shaking but when i start walking around or doing something that requires me to use my arm muscles it definitely feels a little shaky? It kinda just feels like walking after getting scared really bad. I also noticed that my tinnitus is slightly different? Usually its a lower pitched static sound but it seems higher pitch and slightly more noticeable than usual while sitting in a mostly quiet room. Also, I have orthostatic hypotension which means i get mild-severe dizzy spells/fainting spells when i stand up due to my blood pressure lowering from said action, and it seems like theyve gotten a bit worse when the medicine kicked in.
edit: after about another hour, i do have a sort of pressure like headache that feels kind of like a tension headache? its very very mild right now. Also, my hands feel warmer than usual. My eyes (brows?) feel a little heavier, almost like i didnt get enough sleep, which given i dont sleep very well but usually im not this tired unless i only slept a couple of hours.

That is just a list of things ive felt so far that I dont usually notice, so im not sure what is normally caused by the medicine and what is just my body being weird :) I will also be bringing these symptoms up with my doctor, along with any new ones that might arise in the future

-

I did not eat anything when i took the medicine, which im not sure if i wa supposed to but i just never feel that hungry after waking up. I do have some food cooling off as i type this. Some of these symptoms might also just be caffeine withdrawal too, because im also trying to not drink as much soda while starting these meds, as doing so with concerta made things x10 worse. What did you guys experience on the first day?

Hello.

Recently, we switched to spectrum due to a problem with our previous service provider (TDS) and we got the 1 gig plan. Seemed perfect, i was hoping for faster internet and it *is* much faster than what TDS was giving us.

The only problem, is that im the only device in the household with a problem connecting to internet. I had to fight with my computer to even connect to the network, and even now its extremely slow and choppy. When im using it, like browsing on firefox or playing a multiplayer game, my wifi will just cut out and reconnect. I absolutely cannot use social apps such as discord, because there is an extremely long delay (of up to a minute and a half) and voice chatting features are just impossible to use.

However, I seem to be able to connect to minecraft servers mostly okay, and when I do my internet is amazing (save for the wifi cutting in and out.)

I called the spectrum support line, and the tech told me it was probably the router, and hes shipped us a new one that will be here in a few days. However, it had me confused, because why would everyone else have no problems connecting to the internet except for my computer?

Another computer in the household has basically the same wifi chip as I do (just a different brand,) and he connects just fine, AND his room is further from the router box than mine is. Not to mention, my computer has no issues connecting to my mobile hotspot and it had no issues connecting to our old internet network, or the 6ghz bandwith that we were getting then and still getting with this new ISP.

My room is upstairs, and the wifi router is in the kitchen which is downstairs to the left. Ive considered that maybe i was connected better before spectrum because the wifi box was in the room across from me, but the problem is that TDS put some weird white box thing over what I *assume* was a coux cable port. Our only coux cable is currently in the kitchen, so ethernet is not an option. Spectrum says it supports up to 2700 square feet, and i am certainly under 100 feet from the router. My phone has perfect connection in the same room as my computer, so what gives? Id love to call a technician to come and put it in my room, but the only viable outlet for a coux cable is across the room from my desk and I have a cat that would knock it down.

Has anyone else dealt with this? is it seriously possible that a router could just refuse to give good connection to one device? Ive already troubleshooted my wifi card and looked at its performance diagnostics, it isnt the problem and is performing as it should.

So for a little context, we've had the purge valve solenoid going out/throwing a code for about a year and a half now. Recently, its gotten very, very bad. As in, it went from shuddering after fueling, to stalling once and then starting after fuelling, to now having to try starting the car multiple times while the engine struggles to turn over until it runs the battery down, in which then we need a jump from someone.

But after jumping the car, the SYNC 3 screen and the screens behind the wheel (Where the digital speedometer is) will like, struggle to start. The fuel sensor will *very* slowly go up to the current fuel level and we'll get warnings for traction control, hill parking something and more, the screen will go black and turn back on again and the same thing happens.

Today, it did that, however now the screens kept restarting (turning off, turning back on again) while we were driving, and even the headlights would flicker and go dim until they turned back on. When we got home and parked, turned the car off, the screens flickered and turned off, but then turned back on until we hit the off button a few times (the car is push start.)

After that, various lights inside + the screens kept flickering on and off in the car for about 10 minutes. We are going tomorrow to have our alternator checked, but i just wanted to see what the people on this subreddit think about it? Really hoping its an easy fix regardless, as we really just cant afford to get anything fixed right now (the emissions problem alone is over 250$ to fix which is why we've let it go for so long because we just cant afford to pay it.)

Im sorry if this word vomit didnt make much sense, im online a lot so if theres any clarification needed please ask 😅

So, ive decided that I want to hate my time playing this game and go for getting every creature species in the game.

I have too much time on my hands and not enough to do with it, so here we are I guess.

But the real question, is where do I even start?

Do i start with the gacha creatures? Missions? Role limiteds?

Ive already accepted that my main source of mush is going to be hunting slots and selling them, which is going about as expected. (I have a w+d fellisio slot that ive spent so long between gt hunting and just using it for missions that ive gotten the slot to ven 5 twice now.)

Whats your opinion on where I should start this horrifying journey?

All right, so, before anyone says anything about "Your phone needs a new battery!", my phone works just fine and charges just fine when connected to a wall. Its self diagnostic always brings the battery back as healthy, and the phone isnt even a year old.

So my computer charges my phone hyper fast. I have a USB-C 3.0 cord that I use for my Quest 2. Whenever I plug my phone into the computer, it charges abnormally quickly, like, when plugged into a wall and fast charging it takes my phone about an hour, but my computer can take my phone from 5% to 70 in less than 15 minutes. Once unplugged, my phone usually dies within minutes, as if it never actually got charged to 70%. Im worried about plugging my new tablet into my computer for this reason in fear of damaging the battery, but I dont have an outlet nearby, so im trying to get to the bottom of this. What could possibly be causing this?? Is there a way to fix it??

I know for a fact that my phone is not the issue, because this problem *only* occurs when i plug it into the computer.

Ive noticed a strange occurence with my sleep lately. I usually go to sleep anywhere from 12-3, yeah, its not healthy, but im a night owl, i cant help it.

Anyway, sometimes i will be just absolutely exhausted　, and ill go to bed at, say, 8 PM. Or even 9:30! And yet, its like my body treats it like a nap. ill wake up three hours later feeling fully rested for an hour to an hour and a half. Its really irritating. Google hasnt been much help. Its not that I have trouble falling asleep, and if its after 10pm i will sleep a full at least 8 hours, it just cant be before then. Anyone have a possible explanation? Its always been a curiousity for me.

Ive noticed that I have this strange cycle of making friends.

I'll find someone to talk to, which is very infrequent as Ive never really been good at making friends (Social anxiety and being awkward n stuff)

I'll find a really strong connection with that person, and for the next 12-18 months, Its almost like im hyperfixating on them. I'll be super clingy, care a lot about what they think about me, I even get kind of upset when they choose some other friend to do things with and dont invite me (Which, I am working on, and I am making great efforts to tell myself that I am not this persons whole world.)

I dont know if its just from being so lonely, but its almost like my entire world will revolve around them. Until about a year to a year and a half in, when I just.. Get tired. Its like dropping a hyperfixation, once the novelty has worn off. Like playing a game 24/7 every day until youve gotten so burnt out on it you cant even think about it anymore. I'll get almost.. irritated when they try to talk to me and I distance myself heavily until eventually I stop talking to them. After that, it could take anywhere from a month to three or four before I start talking again, and start acting like a *normal friend?* Like I'll have a more healthy relationship with them and will give them their space, and hang out maybe once a week or every few weeks.

I dont understand. Its like I get almost burnt out from being around them so often, but this isnt healthy for either of us. Ive seen other people with adhd experience something similar, so maybe this falls under that somehow? I want to get to the root of the problem so i can see how i can fix it. People arent toys, and I dont want to see them as that. Yet, every time it happens I just cant bring myself to keep interacting. I *want* to keep that connection and be around them and my mood just drops anyway.

As you can see, this villager refuses to link to this lectern and keeps staring at the other villagers that are separated by three blocks. What is happening here?? Its extremely annoying.

Hi! Im a very picky eater, most days i wind up eating fast food chicken nuggets or plain, buttered noodles.

​

Ive found that every time i try a new food, i seem to gag uncontrollably once it reaches my mouth. It happened earlier with a chicken alfredo dish. I took one bite and i had to struggle to not gag and spit it out.. but, I dont know why. It didnt taste bad, its texture was very similar to foods i *do* eat. Does anyone else have this weird problem?? Every time i try something new i either gag for no reason, or just plain dont like it. I feel like im hitting a wall here.

All of their locations seem to be in Canada, but my package says it was in transit to a "local UniUni delivery facility" which clearly doesnt exist in my state. So.. where do they go? Do they just end up at a different carrier's facility to deliver?

Hi! So, I dont *quite* have aphantasia, but im very close to it (Probably about a 2 or 3 out of 10 on the visualization skills scale 😭 )

I can vizualize things, but its not really something tangible, more like a blurry image, so it makes drawing out my fantasy worlds extremely difficult.

​

The part im having trouble with, is that i can kind of vizualize what i want for this world, but i cant see it well enough to be able to draw it. However, ive found no references for what im trying to draw.

​

How do some of you go around drawing something fantasy-esque when there are no reliable reference photos for it?

Yep

Ipad wont load past the loading screen.

Marketed as "Great for games!" But once ios 26 dropped it became a POS.

I forgot to link my data and i dont know what email the account recovery form got sent to. Been sitting here for an hour and a half trying to get this thing to work.

edit: Lowkey made this post in the heat of the moment, very frustrated. Some wonderful news is that the IPad finally loaded in after about two hours of constantly crashing, reloading game over and over again. My account data is safe on my new samsung s10 🥹

Ive been wanting to join a small community of people in CoS, id like to have people i can pack with because honestly, the game gets really lonely. I mean, I talk to randoms in oasis but Its not really the same, especially when you dont trust anyone in that server. Ive been invited to packs where people come up to me, kick me from the pack and then kill me.

So, i started looking into the friendlier, peaceful clans, but all of them wanted me to put like, an identifier somewhere on my profile?? like the two i saw the most were either use the discord tag for their server, or put their group abbreviation in your roblox display and like.. I dont really want to do either of those. I like my display. Its simple! I dont change it, and i havent changed my roblox display in about three years. I dont want to have an identifier on my account just to join a community. And I *already* have a discord tag, that im using to show support for an unrelated to CoS community that i genuinely adore.

Does anyone have any open, friendly groups that just play with each other?? With none of these unnecessary requirements?? I dont want to have to change anything on my account just to play with people in a roblox game....

Someone remind me to turn off chat when i play this game because arguing with people like this is so exhaustingly frustrating and im too easy to ragebait.

A few points i'd like to make:

-> This is hardcore realm. I dont know about anyone here, but i drop all of my morals and combat etiquette except for the following rules:

- Dont kill healers that are actively healing people.

So, yeah. Im gonna kill a baby thats shown as a lower tier than me and is standing by a popular oasis spot out in the open seemingly AFK. If you want to go grow your creature, go hide in a hole. It works just fine for me.

-> I wanted to get satiated so i could finish growing my slot for kicks n giggles, and when the nearest player carcass is an easy to kill creature right in front of me, im going to pick that.

-> This person was waiting with either an alt or a friend oxytalis to jump me after i took their carcass and ate it, instead of just going to hide in a hole somewhere

-> Proceeded to mock me and say i was "whining about dying", and that i started the entire argument when they sent the first message, not me.

I really. Really hate this playerbase. If youre gonna get annoyed at dying then.. dont.. play the one realm thats geared towards a coldhearted pvp playstyle??

Ever since I was little, ive been a very picky eater. Like, to the point where my only safe foods were steak, hamburgers, instant ramen and mcdonalds. I wouldnt eat at any other fast food place　, even. I eventually was able to branch out to a few veggies, most fruits and basic sandwiches, but It has to be a very specific list of ingredients for me to eat the sandwich. No more, no less. Always ham, cheese, and pickles. And it has to be on a specific type of sandwich bread, or else I wont eat it.

Needless to say, a lot of my safe foods are very specific and I eat them the same way, every time. Its getting kind of ridiculous. Im absolutely terrified of trying new food, like, the last time someone made food for me that ive never tried, i got so anxious about it that I ended up not eating at all because it made me so nauseous and not hungry.

I eat very unhealthy, its honestly a lot of pizza, and cheesy bread (I really like cheese,) because meat is just too expensive to afford all the time right now, and i dont buy vegetables or fruits often because usually i only want a handful of that item, not an entire box, and then it goes to waste because theres too much for me to finish.

I want to try new foods, but its been a very, very, *very* slow process. Its like im just too afraid to try anything, and its only occasionally that i can try a new food without getting so nervous.

Not to mention, a lot of food that most people eat just doesnt look good to me. Things like curry, most soups, etc just look unappetizing, and i think its just because of their colour, which is weird because I like beef of all kinds and I like beef flavoured ramen noodles, which are both brown.

Every time ive tried a food like that, i just havent liked it, which led to a lot of problems with my mom when i was little, her getting mad at me for taking a small bite of something and then gagging because my gag reflex used to be really sensitive.

But im not usually afraid to try sweet foods, or drinks.

I dont know what to do anymore. I feel bad every time i eat out with my family, because they feel that they cant go to their favourite restaurants because i only have a handful that I'll even eat at.

How do I start branching out ?? How do I make it easier to try new things?? Sorry if this didnt make too much sense.

Does anyone know of any places like discord servers or youtube channels that do frequent aer giveaways? It was my one and only dream creature since they released, but i never got to see that through because I unfortunately quit the game back in summer of 2022.

But, im back, and with it i have absolutely nothing to my name (besides the very few lower value creatures I couldnt part with) as I gave away literally everything i owned when i quit. I didnt plan on coming back.

Which means that i have absolutely no idea where to look anymore for aeries giveaways. I left all the youtube channels i was following a long time ago, and I think it'd be pretty neat to get lucky and finally acquire the species.

Anyone got any ideas on where to look? Im not looking for youtubers that sell them for two kidneys, im a mostly f2p player that has a busy life and cant grind out 200k mushooms.

Well, I'll be graduating in a few weeks, and my mom brought up the concept of what im going to do next. I'm a pretty petite twig that can barely lift 30 lbs, so im going into IT hopefully.

The problem is that, I hate the idea of doing *another* round of core classes. Math specifically, because I really do hate it and I dont understand it. I worry that Ill spend all this money, just to fail one of the most basic classes I need to even begin doing what I want to do.

Im not in a place where we really have much for trade schools, or other kinds of education, so college is basically my only choice, especially if I want to get assistance with paying it.

Tis a shitty predicament im in.
