Retro games (console & computer), indie games and open source games for the win, absolutely.

Creo que un psiquiatra, independientemente de si es sanidad pública o consultorio privado, no debería comportarse así, dada la fragilidad de los pacientes que acuden para precisamente tratar esa fragilidad. Pero te cuento: fui a pedir derivación a mi médico de cabecera en noviembre del 2022. Me dieron cita con una psicóloga clínica para enero del 2023, y luego de eso una cita con una psiquiatra en marzo del 2023. Dada mi urgencia (estaba queriendo preparar oposiciones a funcionario), no quise esperar y fui a un consultorio privado. Comenté mi asunto, y me recetaron medicación. Funcionaba, pero no como yo quería, así que me la cambiaron, y sí que se notaba, de no hacer nada en todo el día a estudiar casi todo el día. De ahí se confirmó que efectivamente yo tenía TDAH. Luego en la seguridad social me quitaron ese estimulante por problemas legales, y volví a la medicación original. Y con esta sigo.

Ahora intento obtener terapia psicológica en algún despacho privado para manejar o superar esa disfunción ejecutiva, y poder hacer cosas sin depender de café o té o lo que sea que pueda tomar.

No diré nombres de medicamentos ni nada, ni tampoco diré nada que vaya contra las normas de esta comunidad. Solo te deseo mucha suerte, y ojalá que consigas ese diagnóstico en la seguridad social.

I don't have any insurance, only for dental treatments. For everything else I'm under the Social Security.

I’m assuming that you know about SOCIEDAD ESPAÑOLA DE PSICOLOGÍA CLÍNICA – ANPIR and their directory, but just in case: http://www.anpir.org/socios/panel/profesionales_avanzado.php

Thank you. I've only found one psychologist near my town, and he doesn't even treat ADHD on adults. Only on children and teenagers. Either way, being in Spain I can assure you that price would be astronomical for my wallet.

About the other link, I'm looking at it. There are a couple of psychologists from Singapore, but I need to be sure that they treat ADHD on adult population, and I don't even know how the price is per session there.

Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I'm only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don't have proper tools to handle my ADHD.

On a Discord server someone told me to look for therapists that do online sessions from third world countries for ADHD people, but I don't know where to look for them, and I don't know whether they're actual therapists or random scammers either. I live in Spain (pointing that out in case you try to push your US narrative), and a psychologists charges between 40 € and 60 € per session, being one session per week. And I can't afford spending 160 €/240 € per month when I don't even have a job.

Does anyone can give me some advice or recommendations, or webpages where I can look for someone?

I just hope that the IPO backfires, or that users suddenly realise how shitty that webpage is and they leave.

Doom 2 is my most favourite game, being Doom Eternal my second most favourite one. I've never played Doom 3, I've barely touched Doom 2016, and Doom is meh without the super shotgun or the pain elementals.

Gzdoom is the source port I use to play Doom games. It has lots of configurations, you can use tons of mods, and freelook & no autoaim are a delight.

By the way, I upload regularly Doom 2 videos on my HardLimit (Peertube) channel.

Hi, Elmo Muskrat. Why don't you stop playing too much Call of Duty and instead you go to Russian occupied territories in Ukraine to see how Ukrainians are living and being treated? Just a little tiny suggestion, as small as your brain. You're welcome.

My ADHD is in this picture and it doesn't know why Jupiter is not another star.

Hello everyone. This is my fifth month taking atomoxetine, and my third month with a 100 mg dose. I can say that life is better with medication than without medication, but not everything changed for the better.

  • My impulsivity has been reduced. I ponder about this or that choice before taking it, although some days I feel myself more impulsive than others. But in general, that's really good.

  • My racing thoughts slowed down noticeably. I feel my head more silent than during the time I was not diagnosed. It's not silent, and I "listen to" music non-stop, but I have way less voices and intrusive thoughts.

  • I think I can engage in conversations more easily. I'm not in my mind world the way I was when I was not diagnosed. The negative note is that I also have ASD, so it's still a struggle sometimes, but better to have one disorder tamed than unleashed.

  • I can manage my time more efficiently. I still can be a bit impatient, depending on the day and the situation, but it's more under control.

I only can notice two bad things:

  • My executive dysfunction is still non existent. I want to do things, but I'm not able to make my thoughts into actions. And it sucks. I have responsibilities, and I don't take care of them, no matter how much I think about taking care of them.

  • Dysgeusia is a real pain, especially when you need to stop eating something you like because its taste feels disgusting somehow. I stopped taking soy milk, cow milk, milkshakes and apple juice over time. I found that eating peanut butter with atomoxetine can hide that side effect, but I would rather prefer not to have that side effect.

Anyway, this 8th of August I have my next appointment with my psychiatrist. I'm not sure whether continuing with this treatment or changing to guanfacine, considering those two negative points (especially the executive dysfunction). I'm not allowed to take stimulants, and in my country only atomoxetine and guanfacine are available specifically for ADHD.

What about you? Any tips, advice, positive experiences...?

OK, so this happens since the UI update, but I noticed it last week. I had some games installed, and I wanted to free some space in my hard drive.

I did the usual thing: right click on the game I wanted to uninstall, go to manage, and click on uninstall. Nothing happens. I do it again, and nothing happens. I try with another video game, same thing, nothing happens. It's supposed that a pop up window should appear to confirm my decision, but there is no pop up window.

I tried to uninstall Steam and reinstall again, maybe that do the trick. I write my username and password, I put my verification code, and I proceed to change my Steam parameters. I select Spanish in the drop down menu language... and nothing happens. I try to opt in the Steam beta, and nothing happens.

So, every time there is a drop down menu or something similar, it's like I'm clicking onto the void. The menu disappears, there is no message, there is no pop up window, there is nothing. So, I can't to almost anything.

Does anyone know what should I do? I'm using Lubuntu.
