Today's new accommodation is a set of (crappy) shelves by my key hook next to the door so I can put stuff that needs to go to the car.

What's your new accommodation?

I just spent way too much time tracking down how to report a scam on Amazon to Amazon and the FTC and then reporting it and writing a review to tell people how to report it for a $6 can of cat food that I personally did not order ever. 🥴😅💀✊😂😂😂

I'm feeling really excited and hopeful and nervous. I found an awesome doctor who is not part of some huge corporate medical conglomerate, is LGBTIQ+ safe and is relatively knowledgeable and accepting of Neurodivergence! I could cry. Only an hour away from me (lolsob) but is open to telehealth if a physical exam is not necessary.

When I asked if he was familiar with Guanfacine he said yes all casually(!). I forgot to pick it up on my way home so I'm going to wait and take it tonight. I'm nervous but I've been trying to get this for months now so I'm just really hopeful it can help me.

For those unfamiliar, Guanfacine was originally developed in the 80s as a blood pressure medication but is approved by the FDA to supplement stimulant medication in support of ADHD. It was found to help with anxiety, RSD, irritability/anger and insomnia. Even inattention and impulsivity. Common side effects are sleepiness/fatigue, headaches, dry mouth, but generally get better as you get used to the medication.

It will take several weeks to fully build up and feel the full effects, so I'll edit this post with the results in the coming weeks.

I'm paying for the low deductible insurance at my company (higher cost, supposed to be better benefits). I made an appointment for diagnostic assessment at the beginning of the year, their next available appointment was SEPTEMBER 30. They called me yesterday with the estimated cost to me after insurance (I mean nice that they do that but you'll see why...) It's going to cost me $800.

Yeah ok. Guess I'll just remain self-diagnosed.

As we all know correlation equals causation, and you can always extrapolate from a trend seen in a single research project.

Throwaway any and all ideas you have from that scientific theory course you had to take in university.

My lofi isn't cutting it today, but my podcast is pulling too much of my attention so I can't think on my work. I need that sweet spot of interesting enough to quiet my mind but boring enough that I can ignore it and think on my work. Gonna look for a history documentary on Carthage or smth
