I am just learning about peptides and am wondering if there is a solution that would work best for me, based on other people's experience. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and generalized anxiety that just creeps out of nowhere and can linger for hours. I get in a vicious cycle where I have so many tasks to perform, which makes me more anxious, which makes me do even less tasks. On top of that, I my short-term memory has turned to garbage, and I suspect it is because of decades of having to rely on benzos for anxiety.

I cannot take stimulants because it exacerbates my anxiety and destroys my sleep. Non-stimulants like Strattera and Guanfacine have no effect on me. For once, I would like to have a quiet brain and be able to actually start and finish a task.

Anyone in the same boat and have any luck getting out of this cycle? Any reputable product links would be highly appreciated as well!

EDIT: To add more information, I am currently taking l-methylfolate, CDP Choline, and Creatine as supplements. For meds, I take pregabalin, cymbalta, propranalol, and xanax for anxiety and Guanfacine for adhd.

I need help putting my mind at ease. I am being told by a friend that the Port of Miami is currently under construction and is a disaster to get in and out of currently. She mentioned that it can take 2 hours to get to the port from the airport.

Is this accurate?

EDIT: I am flying in the day before (not crazy enough to fly in the same day as the cruise) but I am looking at hotel options still. Cruise is this Sunday.

Good Afternoon! I am embarking on my first NCL cruise this weekend, out of Miami, and I was considering getting the priority access. The main thing that was interested in was getting off the ship at the end and the breakfast room service (mainly the breakfast room service). I am traveling solo, so waking up and not having to go to the buffet or sit alone in a restaurant appeals to my selectively social personality. I like my peace and quiet in the morning.

Is it worth it for those reasons? I may get a massage booked on the ship, so I could definitely use the $50 spa credit.

I have 2 FNCs and would like to use them towards a quick few day getaway. I am located in the DC area, and am looking to travel within like a 5 hour flight bubble from the DC area. Looking for something where I can lounge on a beach and maybe do some nature type excursions. If you were me, where would you recommend using your FNC to get the best value and experience? I haven't set a budget as this is a spontaneous trip that I am looking to do in a couple weeks.

Edit to clarify a little further: I am mainly looking for a beach to soak up some sun and turn my brain off for a few days. When I use my FNCs, I like to use them for nice or memorable places that I wouldn't otherwise justify if I had to pay out of pocket.

I've been lucky enough to experience the daily symptoms of anxiety for around 25 years now, and have been on countless medications to help relieve the symptoms. It will all of a sudden hit me like a brick out of nowhere, and the symptoms ride for me for hours. Sitting at my desk doom scrolling? Anxious. Working? Anxious. Driving? Hella anxious! Until a couple weeks ago.

I stumbled across the term "Binocular vision dysfunction" and looked into it more. I was born cross-eyed and have always had a minor mis-alignment. I had surgery as a child to reverse it and last year, I had surgery to help improve it further. That was mostly successful, but after doing vision therapy, it was identified that my brain still thinks my eyes are crossed and is getting a weird signal from the eyes that it constantly has to process.

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, I learned about Syntonics, and the process of using different colors of light to help with vision issues. I learned that rose colored classes (FL-41) creates a calming effect on the eye muscles and prevents overstimulation in the eyes. I can safely say that my symptoms have been pretty significantly decreased when I am wearing them. I found myself driving on the NJ Turnpike last week (my least favorite road) and after switching from my regular sunglasses to my rose colored glasses, my anxiety dropped to a 0 and I made my way to where I needed to be feeling relaxed.

It never dawned on me that vision issues could be the root of my anxiety, and I am glad I am taking this journey. I am doubling down on my vision therapy homework and am finally feeling optimistic that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for me.

Has anyone used Optics Trainer in either VR or a mobile device? If so, has it been helpful? I am looking for help with binocular fusion and am looking for more at home supplements to vision therapy. They have an eye tracking YouTube video that has been a good eye muscle workout, so I’m curious what the other parts of the app can do.

Just started syntonics the other week. Haven’t seen any changes, but the research is interesting. For anyone that has done syntonics, what did your sessions look like and were they helpful? My sessions are staring at a red/orange filtered light for 10 minutes, doing vision therapy session, followed by 10 minutes looking at green light. It feels kind of pointless, so I’m curious what others have done.

Thanks!

Long shot here, but I am hoping there is someone here that has had something similar, and has found a way to correct it. I was born cross-eyed. As an infant and toddler, I had surgeries to correct it. As a result, I ended up with my eyes drifting outwards as I got older. It alternates between eyes, depending on which eye I am using. I have recently had surgery to try to straighten the eyes, and it is better, but they are still not perfect. I have been in vision therapy for months, and as we go further and further through, it dawned on the doctor that my brain still perceives images as if my eyes are crossed, even though they turn outwards. I am able to converge fairly well, but divergence is a bitch. I really don't perceive double images or anything, and I can generally fuse fairly well. Up close, I tend to suppress one eye or the other, but for distance, it's tolerable.

I am starting to think that this is the source of a decades long problem with anxiety and ADHD, along with reading difficulties. I have seen 2 vision therapists and they genuinely seem stumped.

Good evening! Before I reinvent the wheel, I figured I would ask if anyone has done this before. I have a neighbor who has 2 Great Danes. They will let them out for hours and the dogs will just bark for hours. They will bark at pretty much everything they see and hear. I purchased an ultrasonic bark deterrent from Amazon, and it helped reduce the barking by like 90%, until it broke after a month.

I am looking to create something that does something similar; listen for barking and emit ultrasonic frequency for a couple seconds. While it does that, I want it to timestamp the barking. It will be outside, so I need a weatherproof enclosure.

Has anyone done a project like this? I'd love to see it or hear how you would tackle it!

PS, I know it is easy to say "just go talk to them", but these are people that just don't care that their dogs are going nuts out in the yard at 11pm on a Tuesday. My fear is that if I do approach them about it, and it gets to the point where I file a noise complaint, they will be able to pinpoint the complaint to me and make the relationship hostile. By timestamping the events, I am gathering the information needed for filing the noise complaint, if the project doesn't work.
