FeatherConstrictor , to ADHD in Life is pain

That's super nice! One of the biggest things keeping me on Spotify has been just how much new music I'm able to find that I enjoy because of its algorithm. This feature is one I'm sorely missing though so I'll have to check out plexamp!

How does it compare to "go to song radio" on Spotify?

FeatherConstrictor , to ADHD in me_irl. Right now, in fact 😮‍💨

Ah wait this need for a "come down" from stimulation might explain a lot of things for me.

If I'm coming down from a long day/walk/etc. the tiredness hits me, but if I don't go to bed and fall asleep fast enough, even if I'm relaxing, then I will no longer be sleepy and will struggle to fall asleep.

FeatherConstrictor OP , to ADHD in Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes

Thank you so much for your in-depth advice and explanation!

Yeah I always go out and read as many reviews on a product as I can to feel comfortable with my decision, especially for an expensive purchase :)

FeatherConstrictor , to Fuck Cars in ‘I made curtains on the train’: the commuters livening up their journeys

I take the train to my new job and I gotta say I didn't expect to like working on the train so much. If you pass through any nnicd areas you have a nice view, the upper floors are quiet zones during rush hour, the seats are fairly comfortable. It's nice! The drive is about half the time, but even if I could drive there I wouldn't.

Oof 6 months? 😬 That's not a lot considering their cost. Thanks for the feedback

FeatherConstrictor , to ADHD in Doctor recommended trying Strattera, looking for other users experiences

I did that for a while and (anecdotally) it only delayed the effectiveness from reducing, didn't stop it.

FeatherConstrictor , to ADHD in Doctor recommended trying Strattera, looking for other users experiences

Yeah the Vyvanse side effects wore off for me too, but so did it's efficacy over time even though I rarely take it every day. I did take it daily for a couple months recently though.

FeatherConstrictor OP , to ADHD in Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes

Yes I agree, I have been looking around at others' footwear and I do see some sneakers (though nicer cleaner looking ones than the ones I'm wearing, which aren't bad, they're solid black, but the design is very casual and sporty). For this reason I'm thinking I might look for Birkenstock boots and a pair of comfortable white sneakers. I'll look into the go walks, I like the roomier shoes! Thanks :)

FeatherConstrictor OP , to ADHD in Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes

I recently watched a YouTube essay about this and completely agree. Luckily my foot isn't wide, so the shoes that I wear as my dailies don't push in my pinkie toe at all even though it doesn't have a particularly wide toe box, just a mix of soft flexible fabric and a slightly bigger size.

The video I watched does recommend a few shoes for people like you, I'd be happy to find it and send it if you'd like :)
