I had a couple of minor issues when it was new, but it's been rock solid for months. The only issue I had recently turned out to be a major bug in Steam that is currently being fixed.

For many years in Australia it was impossible to get diagnosed with Autism and ADHD because they were considered mutually exclusive. Recently they've been discovered to be frequently comorbid.
It's a little frustrating how slow medical knowledge progresses.
If you're logically minded or don't mind repetitive tasks, QA testing is not too difficult to get into (comparatively, I'm aware of the state of the job market). Most companies will give you on the job training, and the work can theoretically be done from home.
It would likely require in person training and possibly a few weeks in a office at the start. As much as I'd love to recommend building a train network first, perhaps friends, neighbors, and (non-predatory) loans for taxis/rideshare would be enough until the first paycheck.
Keep ranting online. The world is broken, not you. You may as well rant, shout, and complain about it.
:(
I feel your pain. I hope you find some relief soon.
The first few days after stopping meds will be the worst as your body adjusts. Things will get better gradually.
It won't be as good as when you're taking the medication, but things won't stay this bad forever.
Coffee and other similar stimulants can help make the wait a little more bearable.
Mental health is just as important as physical health, but is often ignored because it's harder to see.
You wouldn't try to keep walking on a dislocated leg even if it's just been relocated. You'd give it time to heal before putting your full weight on it.
Trying to push through sensory overload is just like trying to walk on an injured leg. It's only going to make the symptoms worse until you stop and take care of it.
Any reasonable manager would give an employee the day off to recover from a physical injury, so why would mental health be any less valid? You don't need to give the manager a reason to go home other than you weren't fit to work and needed the time off.
The planning you mentioned can help, as can learning to identify when you start to feel overwhelmed and acting early. Early action often means less drastic action.
The people who talk about "gritting their teeth" and "always pushing through" have never reached their limits and don't understand that it's terrible advice. When you reach your limit, something has to change.
Given the circumstances you described, I think the decision to remove yourself from the stressful environment was the best decision you could have made.
I'm proud of you; both for how you handled the situation, and for how you're learning from it.
Hobbies are great, but be wary of turning them into a job. You may be good at them, but a job is a good way to remove the joy from the hobby. I works for some people, but not everyone.
Don't worry too much about long term goals yet. I've been out of school for many years and only recently started a proper career.
Take whatever jobs you think you can do, and don't be afraid to fail or look stupid. Life is about learning, and the best way to learn is to try.
That's not a name, that's numbers
I don't understand. Is that not how names work?
Make sure you don't go for a walk more than once per week or you might get too healthy.
More seriously, I've noticed that my mental health is better on days when I'm not on Lemmy. Browsing and participating on its own is not a problem, but mindlessly scrolling all day when other tasks need to be done is. I have a few tricks that occasionally work.
Leave your phone on the other side of the room when you sleep. You'll have to get out of bed before picking up the phone, so is easier to not start mindlessly scrolling.
Set an end time for Lemmy and pick a different, more relaxing task at least an hour before going to bed. Social media is not conducive to sleep.
Other than that, I haven't had any issues with people posting too much content. As long as you're respectful and willing to change if someone complains, you'll fit in fine here.
I remember 68954012663. No idea what the rest of the lyrics are.
Aussie Broadband is not the cheapest, but it is by far the best I've used. They have consistently good speeds, knowledgeable customer service, and even offer a pro rata refund when cancelling.
Dodo tried to charge me an illegal fee and would hang up when I tried to dispute it. I told them I would take it to the ombudsman then hung up on them. A supervisor called back withing 10 seconds to offer to remove the fee and provide a refund for the last 3 months. They knew what they were doing was illegal.
So what stops men from using their wife's account to order an Uber?
