I’ve switched to Ritalin over the last week from dexamphetamine. And bro I’m just really really dizzy. My doctor prescribed the IR 10mg tablets and said just to pace myself follow my body. There just making me dizzy. Like I’m looking at a straight wall and it’s spinning and my focus from it is way worse. I have cut the pills in half I have no idea what’s going on.

Has anyone had a similar experience and how did they fix it ????

I’ve had this recurring dream multiple times over the past few years and I still can’t work out what it is.
I’ll fall asleep on the couch next to my girlfriend or in bed, and in the dream I genuinely believe I’m awake. Everything looks exactly like my real room and I can see my girlfriend lying next to me.

The problem is I can’t move.

I try as hard as I can to lift my arms or sit up, but it’s like my body weighs a thousand kilos. I try to scream “help” or call my girlfriend’s name, but nothing comes out except what feels like a mumble. In the dream I’m convinced I’m making noise and moving, but when I actually wake up she tells me I never made a sound and was completely asleep.

The weirdest part is I think I’ve finally woken up… only to realise I’m still in the dream. This happens over and over again. I’ll “wake up,” realise I still can’t move or yell, panic, and then “wake up” again. It can repeat several times before I finally wake up for real.
It’s honestly one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced because it feels 100% real every single time.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this just sleep paralysis with false awakenings, or do recurring dreams like this have any deeper psychological or spiritual meaning? I’d love to hear both the scientific explanations and the more symbolic/spiritual interpretations.

Why can’t someone hypothetically make a living just trading the top EAs on MQL5?

Genuine question, and if I’m missing something obvious then please tell me where my thinking is wrong.

Let’s say instead of trying to build my own strategy, I take the top-performing EAs on MQL5 that have verified live signals. A lot of them have been running for months or even years, some going back to 2024. Many show no additional deposits, no withdrawals, and no obvious signs of manipulation. On the surface, some of them appear to have a real track record.

So why couldn’t someone spread risk across, say, 5-10 accounts with $20k+ each and run a portfolio of the top EAs?

I understand that eventually some EAs will fail, but that’s where I’m struggling to see the mathematical issue. If an EA turns $20k into $100k before eventually blowing up, that’s still a 5x return. At that point I could just redeploy the original capital into another EA and continue. I’m not expecting to become a billionaire, but it seems like if even a handful of these systems have a positive enough expectancy over time, there should be a way to make a decent living from it.

The other thing I keep thinking about is that the people behind these top EAs have often spent years developing, testing, and refining them. They’re dedicating huge amounts of time and effort to finding an edge. So why wouldn’t it make sense to simply leverage their work instead of trying to reinvent the wheel myself?

Obviously there must be risks I’m overlooking or else everyone would already be doing this. Is the problem that the historical performance eventually breaks down? Is it survivorship bias? Hidden risk? Slippage? Over-optimization? Broker differences?

I’d be interested to hear from people who have actually traded these EAs or copied MQL5 signals. Where exactly does this idea fail in practice?

I’m really disappointed in myself. There was an associate/senior role that I’ve been looking forward to and think I’d do really well at because I’ve been working in that particular niche industry.

The first interview was with 2 individuals I did really well and felt really really good it was 30 minutes. I was honestly going to be upset if I didn’t get the second interview after how good I felt it went.

I get a call a week and a half ish later offering me to for the second interview and it was with a different 2 individuals and I just choked. They just had very monotone personalities and it kinda threw me off this went for 45 minutes there grilling me about my education my resume and towards the end of it I started to stutter and it was just a mess in my eyes. It’s been 4 BD have not heard from them or expect to hear anything good which is really disappointing cause I know I’d do well in the role.

How many people are usually in the pool for second rounds and is there still a high chance you don’t get the job in a second round interview from your experiences. Would love to hear any similar stories as well
