The stock indices have reached new records after every single crash . Because capitalism must grow. Line must go up. Because if line go down, the whole promise of return of investment goes out of the window and the thing collapses. Any money you put in the market as a whole (ETFs), will be worth more in the future than it is now. But it has to be money that you don't need to rely on in the next 15-20 years, so it's exclusively for people who are rich already.

Everything else, like picking a single stock like those GameStop idiots, is just straight up gambling. Betting on horse racing is equally as productive.

Write that sentence down. Then read it again.

And then grab someone you trust and make them help you find a psychiatrist. It involves lists and calling and waiting and planning and appointments, aka all the things you are probably terrible at. So get help if possible.

Just a general word: ADHD is a dimensional disorder. Meaning, there isn't a single identifying symptom that differentiates ADHD from say, a more neurotypical person that is a bit disorganised. Everyone forgets shit, everyone is late once in a while and everyone fidgets when they are nervous.

So the question you have to ask yourself (and which will be part of the diagnosis): How often does that happen? Is this majorly impacting the direction your life is going and are you okay with it?

If the answers are "pretty much everyday" and "I would not be where I am, if I didn't behave like that and I feel like I can't do anything about it even though I want to", you have a pretty good indication.

Your wording and descriptions all sound very much like my (inattentive) ADHD to me.

To everyone recommending vitamin c: there is no evidence that it does anything but making your pee slightly more expensive unless you have a deficit, which you don't, because you'd notice your teeth falling out.

Liquids, rest, ibuprofen and wasting around for a week is all we got. Pseudoephedrine medication if it's really bad and congested or you need to stand upright for three hours because something can not wait.

Get well soon.

When I was younger I thought being able to drink a lot was a good thing.

Turns out, consuming more of the poison that destroys your guts and liver to get into the desired state of mind is actually bad.

On the other hand, I'm usually the one getting drunk people home safely, so thats nice.

Tying carry weight to your strength stat is just wild. Oh you're a caster? Good luck carrying that ebony cuirass out of here.

Then again, it is morrowind, so you can just cast Feather on yourself to carry more stuff OR even cast Burden on the enemy and suddenly they are overencumberd. Or drink strength potions. Or just fly. Or make a stupid amount of money in various ways, making loot kind of neglectable.

I think it's a genre that was incredibly locked into it's time. The sound, the vibe, the aesthetics all coagulated into this peak Y2K moment, where it looked like it's the future... And then basically it was a musical blip, apart from a few bangers and Linkin Park as one the most successful bands of all time. Is there even a (known) band in last ten years that would call what they make "nu metal"? Even Linkin Parks music sounded nothing like their early stuff after 2007 or so.

The only thing that would follow one billion Americans is zero Americans, on account of the ocean being turned into boiling acid in like 3 years.

Fun fact: Justin Hawkins (The Darkness singer) has a neat YouTube channel that is worth checking out.

Charming, quite nerdy guy with lots of stories about music, rockstar life and it's downsides, interviews and normal youtube-style content.

Critical support to your dad. The horny Anne Frank album is not exactly what I would call driving music.

I'm sure you can just consolidate all the people called Mike into a single guy with the "Duplicate Entry" function.

The rock splitting scene is one of my favourite cutscenes of all time. That theme just goes harddd and the fact that it's a frogdude just makes it that much more wonderous.

Thanks Toryiama. Absolute legend.
