I have the inattentive ADHD and dyspraxia combo but I'm not on the spectrum. I appear neurotypical to everyone until I have to do something physical. It's an odd experience. I do well socially and I generally feel like I "fit in." Just don't ask me to go skiing or make pottery lol.
I recently had an incident on an electric bike. My partner wanted to ride one with me on the back to I got on by it was kind of awkward so I put by hands on the handle bars for balance and accidentally pressed on the throttle, sending us in to the the bushes. My partner told me multiple times to take my hand off the throttle but it took me too long to process it and I kind of lost track of my arms. She got really mad and called me a "stupid f*ck." I know she didn't really mean it and was just reacting to getting scratched by a branch but it still really hurt me and I've been ruminating on it for the last two days. I'm trying no to internalize it, but I just feel so bad about it. I've done a pretty good job at building a good life for myself but the dyspraxia always finds a way to rear it's head and become disruptive. There's always a battle between trying to maintain my confidence and falling into a depression. Can anyone relate to this?
I'm a former NYer living in SF. Any other Rangers fans out here in the city by the bay?
I thought I'd share some information that might help some wonderful people in this community. I have dyspraxia along with inattentive ADHD, bipolar type 2, and generalized anxiety disorder. For a while life was quite struggle for me especially in my 20s, but now at the age of 35 things are really working out for me. I've done therapy and I'm on a combination of Geodon, Buspar, and ashwagandha. The therapy helped me find self acceptance and the medication+supplement really slowed down my brain and stopped the racing anxious thoughts that would interfere in my day to day life. This has enables me to make improvements to my coordination on my own time. I'm even learning guitar! I'm currently a licensed therapist which is perfect fit for me because its a job that doesn't require motor skills. No matter where you are in life, it is possible to grow and improve. You just have to keep going and push forward despite self doubt. I promise you will find happiness if you do.
The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel lacks punchiness and isn't phonetically pleasing. Scrolls and Six followed by Sentinel doesn't sound good rolling off the tongue. Too many 'S' words in a row. On top of that, Sentinel, while not a collegial level word, is probably a bit obscure for the average consumer. Subtitles like Dominion and Hammerfell have punchiness. Hammer and Dominion are words people are familiar with that also carry weight. They are also phonetically pleasing as subtitles which is better for branding. There is a reason why TESIV was named Oblivion instead of Cyrodil. Skyrim is already has weight to it so they didn't need another title for TESV. Sentinel just lacks these characteristics. Just my two cents.
I have struggled with motor skills for my entire life and recently found out that I had a DCD diagnosis when I was a child. I have always felt that I am different than other people as basic things that are easier for others are a real struggle for me. For years I always assumed that my inattentive ADHD was the culprit, so I thought that I could simply will my way through life and work on things like discipline and persistence. When I found out that I have dyspraxia, it filled me with relief but also grief. Having a disability was never part of my self concept(I never considered my ADHD a disability) so I am grieving the version of myself I thought existed for the last 35 years. Knowing that it is not purely psychological and that there is a real disconnect between my body and my brain brought me the realization that I cannot simply improve my motor skills through belief and cognitive techniques. I have to leave that part of me behind and that brings me sadness. However, I haven't given up on life. I'm a licensed therapist and thankfully this profession does not require the use of motor skills so I excel at it. I am also trying to learn guitar, which is real challenge given my struggle with dexterity, but it still feels good to challenge myself despite how slow the progress is. I am dealing with the grief by trying to embrace my identity fully at this point in my life instead of clinging on to a version of me that simply cannot exist. I think acceptance is the key word here, and that is something I hope everyone in this community can find.
Ok don't down vote me for this one. It's purely for laughs. Name a Ranger who was exceptionally bad either from a talent perspective or for personality reasons. The criteria is that they have to have been disruptive to the team. I'll go first to get this one out of the way. Tony D'Angelo.
Thank you for all the amazing responses to the name-an-obscure-Ranger post. Some really interesting names came up. Here is a follow up. Name a good Ranger who was let go or moved either before or during their prime. If you remember the reason, add that as well. I'll go first, and this may be one that opens up a wound still fresh in the minds of Rangers fans. Pavel Buchnevich.
We are entering the doldrums of the off season so let's play name an obscure Ranger. I'll start. Fredrick Sjostrom.
