I got diagnosed with ADHD around 20 days ago.
I knew I had it, I was reading about it for more than 3-4 months, took different tests and aced all. (Not the one I’m proud of).

Initially, it everything started to make sense.
I never thought that the doc will prescribe Methylphenidate in just one visit but maybe he understood me and thought it’s the best. Started with 18mg sustained released.

When I took it for the first time, I felt normal.
I was normal, like most of the people are. I wanted to finish all my pending tasks, do chores, wanted to help my spouse, everything that a normal person does. I went to the gym, which I was avoiding for 15days. It felt great. I thought if I was given this 10
Years back, how much more I could’ve achieved.

Cut to today, after 20 days, I don’t know if I want this medicine anymore. I’m back to where I was. Few days back, I felt so anxious in the evening that I’d feel like the world will crash down on me. Now I don’t feel that push that I felt at the beginning. Now, I think I’m back to square one, the place where I started, where I was, always. It’s like the medicine stopped working. Also, I think I feel delusional sometimes. The thoughts now never stops and are even stronger.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I have around 4 pills left and my next visit was scheduled for tomorrow. I don’t know what all should I tell to my doctor. What if he stops this and my condition becomes worse than before?

Anyone with similar experience or any suggestions, please guide me.

Hi Everyone,

I got iPad 11th Gen 128GB at ₹33.9k after price hike.
I really wanted to gift my mum an iPad and was deciding on engraving as I was ordering from Apple’s website.

Just when I was ordering, I saw the priced increased to almost ₹50k. I was shocked. I saw the news, the prices were revised 3 hours ago.

I searched everywhere and it was Out of Stock.

I almost dropped the idea since it made no sense at 50k.

Somehow, I thought of checking offline stores next day. Called everywhere, no one responded. The rush was real. I went to Chroma, R Digital, wasn’t in stock.

Called Imagine, they said, will give at old price but will have to buy Apple Care compulsorily.

Went to another Imagine store, they said the same.
I said it’s optional, they said it’s optional but with new price. With old, they won’t give without Apple Care.

I thought it’s still less than the new price. And went ahead. During billing, they billed my device and registered it with my name.

Now when they were billing for Apple Care, thenI played them. I said I will buy it within 60 days as per Apple policy. It’s not required now.

They said no, you’ll have to get it inspected and blah blah. I said, not an issue.

Since the device was already registered at my name, and what they were doing was illegal, they couldn’t do anything.

The look on their face was worth it.

I checked my device and was happy with my purchase and quick thinking.

Others can try the same.

Guys, I need suggestions for electronics stores to buy Fridge and Washing Machine.
Visited Chroma and found it good but now when I saw the ratings in Google, I’m very skeptical.
Service reviews are very poor.
It’s same for Reliance Digital and Lotus.

What other stores can I refer to?

Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Hello people of Indore! I’m moving with my family to Indore next week as an IT employee. I’m from MP itself, but was residing in Pune. Recently due to some family circumstances, I left Pune and after some WFH, moving to Indore as I’ll be closer to home.

I’ll be setting up home from scratch as it’s unfurnished. Can people here give me some suggestions for furniture and electronics shops with good personal reviews that I can rely on, in Vijay Nagar.

Also, can you provide some rentals for Furniture, and whether you’ve used them personally.

Also, is there anything I should be concerned of? Although I heard that Vijay Nagar is one of the best area in Indore to live.

TIA.

Little backstory. From Tier-2, non-IT branch, Got job in IT in one of Fortune 500 MNC in 2020 (covid time). Felt like a blessing. Today, still stuck in the same company. Tech stack- learned Python, SQL, PLSQL, Siebel but only worked in support. Previously it was chill, no work pressure, WFH job, so got stuck in comfort zone, and now 6 years has passed. Current project, rotational shift with Garbage work and Micromanaging pro manager who likes to be called ‘Sir’.

It’s not like I haven’t tried to up-skill in last 6 years and switch, but I couldn’t stay onto one thing for long. I tried Data Science, Ethical Hacking, SOC, SAP but as the going gets tough, other things starts feeling fascinating and I jump ships.
It’s been 6 years now. Peers are earning 3x-4x and I’m here.

I’m currently trying to upskill in AI, trying for Project Manager roles but everything seems so vague.
Recently I built an RAG enabled AI chat bot with help of AI by learning and brushing AI and Python concepts.

But, with this AI boom, I’m not even sure if I’ll matter, or even if I learn programming, I’ll survive.

Can anyone guide me what should I do?

If you were given a choice, that you can go 10 years back in life, with your current existing mindset with all the information that you possess, along with all the conditions you have (physical/mental), would you still go?

For me, I want to go back in life, tell me younger self to focus on career, life, health but again there’s a part of me that don’t want to live all that again.

What would you do?
