@supercammy Just heading to school. Yourself?

@supercammy just me #lurking for the next 2 hours

@reallifefluttershy Aah... that sounds a lot like me, actually... and my ADHD is really bad. Like, my meds are ~3x more powerful than just standard Ritalin and they make me grind my teeth, they make me jittery and cold, and they suppress my appetite down to the point where I won't eat anything all day. Yet they still aren't powerful enough to get me to concentrate fully. However, if I don't take them, then I lose any ability to do work whatsoever. I really despise having to take them but I don't really have a choice...
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 15:17:36 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@yodelerty Oh hey, the pills I take to keep myself from suicide make me grind my teeth too.

@ceruleanspark *hugs you* Are you fine, cerulean? =/
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 15:21:21 UTC from Choqok-
@omni by whos standards? By conventional standards I haven't been fine for a very long time. By my standards, I'm OK today.
-
@ceruleanspark By your standards. I could care less about what society thinks. But if, by your standards, you're fine then I'm happy about that. Don't want you to die or so, even though I barely know you =/

@omni It's like how a Texan would find british summer somewhat cold. It's about perspective
-
@ceruleanspark I wish my summers were more like British summers.

@ceruleanspark Yeah, I think I remember you saying that at some point. I know occasionally I'll feel fine while taking them but I'm trying to figure out how I'm doing that. :/

@yodelerty It's in your sleep that it happens. If you talk to a doctor they'll give you a thing to put in your mouth overnight to help break the habit.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 15:24:26 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Ah, cool. I wish I had known this yesterday when I was at the doctor. >_>

@yodelerty I'm sure you don't care, but I think it's because they both act as monoamine reuptake inhibitors. It must be something to do with the resultant buildup.

@ceruleanspark I prefer to keep my personality unmodified by chemicals, unless it's a really good single malt.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 15:24:28 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark I care but I don't understand most medical terminology. I'll have to look into it some more.

@yodelerty and what is this one called? I've been taking concerta every day since a long time, and all it's ever done to me is take away my appetite for the whole day and allow me to concentrate better.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 15:40:26 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@techdisk42 Concerta, 54mg.

@techdisk42 I would be dead at school if I took that. Maybe it would help if I ate breakfast or something... really, I'll be immensely happy when I find a way to feel normal while taking these.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 15:50:45 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@yodelerty I get jittery if I don't take my concerta! You should see if you can take something like strattera or something. BTW, concerta actually is Ritalin, but it's a long-acting capsule or something... (WHY do I know all this? I'm 16!)
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 15:55:33 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@techdisk42 Yeah, I read up on some of these meds because I was curious if there was a better one for me. It turns out... not really. In any case, I love days when I don't have to take them because it actually lets me be myself. Same reason I love summer. No school, no pills, no stress.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:04:32 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@yodelerty You can just stop them and not get horrendous withdrawals? Lucky!
-
@ceruleanspark Yeah, I'm pretty happy about that part. If I got withdrawals, I'd go yell at my doctor to give me something else.

@yodelerty hm, personally, I don't feel myself if I DON'T take my meds... I don't like not being able to focus on things... Weird. To each their own!
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:08:49 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@techdisk42 I'd like to be able to focus on things without the side effect of feeling like crap. If I get really into something, I can focus for hours without the need of my meds. School, however, is school. And I can never get into it because of that one fact.

@reallifefluttershy I always try to have fun! And I only have to take my meds during the school year. In the summer I can do without. And, no, I don't have a special somepony. This may be a result of my attitude towards people (i.e., By default I assume everyone hates me unless they say otherwise) and, as a result, I also don't consider myself a very nice person. Basically, I don't think I'm someone anyone would ever want to be around.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:02:03 UTC from StatusNet iPhone -
@reallifefluttershy I'd like to meet you... but I don't think you'd like to meet me. I'm a much different person online than IRL. When I'm online, I can control what I say through the power of proofreading. In real life, however, I often say offensive/incredibly rude things for no reason. I don't mean to; it just sort of happens.

@techdisk42 This sounds to me like unstoppable force meeting immovable object. Go meet somewhere with popcorn nearby so I don't have to bring my own.

@redenchilada ok.

@techdisk42 If you say so... on the very unlikely chance we ever meet, I hope that's the case.

@techdisk42 I'd love to go there! ^_^

@techdisk42 I'm probably not going there this year. My manager is probably already peeved that I booked off so much time in the summer already. XD
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:28:03 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@yodelerty next year then. I really gotta meet some other !torontobronies. The only thing standing between me and doing so is school...
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:30:38 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@techdisk42 Hopefully I'll be able to go. I'd love to go to a Toronto meetup too! ^_^
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:37:14 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@yodelerty the fact I'm still living with my parents really puts a damper on things... "hey mom, can I go meet up with these people I know from the Internet only?" "No." "but..." "No."
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:39:28 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@techdisk42 Try "hey mom, can I go to <place> with some friends?" My mother never questioned it.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:40:25 UTC from web -
@techdisk42 "Hey mom, can I go meet with this good friend of mine?" would work better. And it wouldn't be lying either.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:41:27 UTC from web-
@nerthos her response: "and who's this friend?" also, I don't have my drivers license, so I would need her to bring me... Meh, if I find any bronies at anime north, I can actually say I met them. There had better be a meet up at anime north.

@techdisk42 Just act less like you've got something to hide, and people will quit acting like you're hiding something.

@techdisk42 "I'm going out, I'll be back later." *200 miles and 12 hours later* "Have fun?"

@yodelerty Heh, we could get along pretty well it seems. I do that sometimes too, though even with proofreading.
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:29:38 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah, same. Sometimes I just need to express my opinion, though, even if it ends up offending someone. :/
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:31:56 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@yodelerty Yup. Honesty before anything. It's better to put the truth in the light than just cripple the content of what you're saying for fear of offending someone.

@reallifefluttershy I can see why you call yourself reallifefluttershy, then!
Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 16:56:17 UTC from StatusNet iPhone -
@reallifefluttershy Thanks, man. Even if I don't think I'm a nice person, I guess it doesn't matter as long as other people think I am. ^_^
