Other than simply lowering your dose or adding Wellbutrin? (Already tried both)

Non-teacher lurker here (graduated HS 2008), as this page comes up a lot on my feed. I don’t have kids so naturally I’m not privy to what’s going on in schools these days, and the things I’ve read on the teaching-related subreddits are SHOCKING.

I remember when the parents were almost ALWAYS on the teacher’s side, to the point where it wasn’t even worth it to try to come up with a fake explanation for poor behavior/grades, because you knew they’d take the teacher’s word over yours and they knew what you were telling them was bullshit. I remember when the admins used to be scarier/even harsher than the teachers. Like you knew you were fucked if the teacher had to get an admin involved. Or if it was the admin that busted you for bad behavior instead of a teacher first.

Was it just my school/not as common in other schools??

(I’m assuming the latter) same question for all their other obviously-outlandish claims and accusations

Some are worse than others but I find they almost always affect my memory/cognition. Anyone ever find an AD that doesn’t do this? Or a solution to reduce fog while on an AD? (Like taking a certain supplement or vitamin…idk if there’s something happening in the brain that can be counteracted with additional medicine)

I think it’s a mix of Mike Lobel’s acting/what he brings to the character + his Manny arc which helped to humanize him somewhat.

The dude put Terri in a COMA. I suppose you can argue that his story was also a lesson on forgiveness, but still…they should’ve given the storyline to a different character.

Thoughts? Would love to hear any takes that might disagree with mine.

When the sisters are preparing for the final battle with Zankou, they give off the impression that they know they’re marching towards their death once they read the spell to destroy the Nexus — to the point that they sign everything over to Victor and leave the kids with him. But then at the end, we see they were able to escape and create new identities. Did they know the entire time that they’d survive? And if so, why keep up the ruse with Victor? It seems like even Leo was surprised they lived.

This has been my biggest affliction when it comes to ADHD. I’ve tried stimulants, a bunch of different antidepressants, Strattera, and Wellbutrin, and none of them have really helped (and in fact, the vast majority of them worsen my brain fog).

I also sometimes have trouble articulating my thoughts, which has had a negative impact on my career, so it’d be great if it could solve that problem for me as well haha.

I’ve been rewatching on the CW Prime channel all day, and they’ve just segued from season 4 into season 5. I know obviously fashion trends change over time, but it’s somewhat jarring how much trendier/flashier/brighter the sister’s clothes and hair/makeup suddenly became from season 5 onwards. (Even the show seems it was like filmed “brighter” — like they switched to a different camera or applied different editing.)

(No complaints here though - I love fashion eye candy in shows)

Are there any particular niche job boards, forums, or communities that you’ve found helpful outside of the bigger ones like LinkedIn or Indeed? (E.g. the “EmailGeeks” Slack channel)

Do you have any tips for networking or how to effectively cold message on LinkedIn?

Other than lowering the dose. Pretty much every AD from SSRIs to SNRIs to NRIs to MAOIs seem to impair me cognitively/verbally and I’m not sure if there’s something within my brain chemistry that is causing this

What helped you? Right now, in addition to meds and therapy, I’m undergoing TMS (I’m halfway through at this point)

To explain my flavor of OCD: it’s like my brain is constantly “checking” if I am socially anxious, and then if there’s a moment I’m fully “present” and not checking, my brain notices/reminds me that I haven’t checked, and then the checking loop resumes.

I think it’s a form of sensorimotor OCD

Asking because in the season finale, the way he and Piper say goodbye to each other (when he becomes an Elder) seemed very “final”, almost like he was saying he’d never see her again. And then to add to this — I know we learned in S6 that Chris ended up sending to him to Valhalla, but the S5 finale almost gives the appearance that he killed Leo when he scattered (?) his orbs at the end of the episode.

Also, I thought I read something about them retconning Chris’s story? As in, he wasn’t written to be Piper’s son until Holly Marie Combs got pregnant in real life. Which would make sense bc the first few S6 episodes made it seem like they were setting him up to be evil in some way?

I was born in 1989, but for some reason, I’ve been drawn to 80s culture ever since I was a kid. Eventually, that expanded to 70s — disco music in particular. Anyone else relate?

That particular line from him always guts me. That man truly loved her unconditionally. I wish Cole’s story could’ve played out differently

Watching the S6 episode where Chris gets infected by that spider demon lady. And when Leo confronts him about what his issue is with him, Chris says something along the lines of “you were there for Wyatt. For mom. Half the world. Everyone but me”

What’s your theory for why this would be the case? I can’t imagine Leo playing favorites like that.

Armchair psychologists, I’d love to hear your takes. Is he a “pathy”? A narcissist? A sex addict? Someone who purely operates on animalistic instinct with no regard to his frontal lobe? Someone with an amazing ability to compartmentalize? Past trauma?

He’s simultaneously so hard to read and so easy to read

(Note: I haven’t watched the aftermath episode tonight yet, so idk if that’ll reveal more about him)

What an odd thing to say to someone who you repeatedly deceived and gaslighted over several months. Especially if this was a text he sent out of the blue. What exactly does “you win” even mean??
