I listened to a podcast basically saying once you're really smart, it's likely your life just really sucks. Of course there are a handful of people who are wildly successful, but most high IQ people just feel like nothing in the world was built for them. Basically the father out on the bell curve you are, the less the world is made for you to function happily in, whether your IQ is 60 or 140. If you want to be smart and happy, a doctor or lawyer or whatever, 125 is the sweet spot. 140 is depression.

Har har har. I've been to different states in the US

It's happened for years over many different houses and locations, even different states. That was a good and thoughtful response though, thank you!

I love water, easily my most preferred beverage; I'll choose water even if my meal comes with a drink. But it makes me sick in the middle of the night or in the morning. I don't get it. It makes me nauseous. If I cut the water with juice or I drink coffee it's fine. If I wait until like 11:40 am, it's fine. But if I wake up parched at 4 am and I chug water like I want to, I'll feel sick. If I drink half a glass before breakfast? Sick. OJ? Fine any time. Coffee, apple juice, 2/3 apple juice with 1/3 water? All fine. What's wrong with me?

Is this why strawberries are common allergens? Like so much more common than other fruits?

The prices might hit harder, but then the prices would just go down. If people stop going because they're paying the same but the number hurts more, the owners will lower the prices and take a smaller cut.

Or we'll end up like Denmark where the prices are high so people just eat out less. Either way it's a win for the people. The only people losing are the owners.

I don't get this logic. Me and everyone close to me already tips at least 20% on food. Why would we suddenly have a problem with paying 20% more and not tipping? It's the same amount of money?

There's always another task I don't want to do. I give myself the choice. I can work on the computer thing I don't want to do, or I can clean the kitchen which I don't want to do. I can do either, but those are my only choices. That way even if I procrastinate the computer job I have to do, at least the kitchen is clean. And sometimes the momentum from cleaning spills over to the computer task.

Sometimes I fantasize about doing cocaine so I can finally get my doctors appointments all made.

Even if something tickles my brain it still doesn't become a habit. I genuinely don't think, in my 30s, with dozens of daily systems and all things considered a damn organized life, that I have a single habit. Everything I do is painstaking. Everything is conscious thought. I do laundry every single day and I have to think through the steps. Brushing my teeth is a slog. Figuring out what to eat is so difficult I often skip it despite just eating the same things over and over. If I don't set alarms, I will forget to feed my kid. Alarms for vitamins that I'm not allowed to dismiss until the vitamin is swallowed. I am struggling to think of a single thing that is automatic. I have to think about opening the blinds every day. I have to think about turning off the lights at night (I think about the consequences of leaving them on to decide which lights I leave on. Every night). Nothing happens out of habit.

Did you read what I said? That it's legal federally if it's below a certain volume per weight. And the mints are. I'm not suggesting you get high, I'm saying legally obtained mints to microdose THC from hemp has been very helpful for managing my ADHD.

It kind of reads like you don't want help you just want to confirm there's no way you can get help so you don't feel bad about your ADHD making you unproductive. Well you shouldn't feel bad either way. We're all just out here doing our best, you included. Good luck, man.

You say states so I assume USA, you can get THC mailed to you totally legally as long as it's below a certain amount per volume.

I just started microdosing THC and CBD (2.5mg each a day) and it's really helping with my productivity! I buy online from a shop called Mr. Moxeys or something like that, they ship mints or gummies to most US states to microdose. Kind of expensive (87 cents a day) but WAY cheaper than Adderall, and less dangerous.
