  • I find it easier to think of it like bad eyesight, rather than a disease. We usually think of diseases as things that eventually go away, especially when there are medications for them, and that doesn’t happen here.

    Some people are born with good eyesight, and they can see everything clearly right from the get-go. Some people can’t, and they need the external modifier of corrective lenses or, no matter how hard they try, the world will be blurry. So, they wear those corrective lenses every day just to function in the world.

    Taking meds for ADHD is more like that.


  • Don’t think too hard about how much further you have left to go; road hypnosis is your friend. I’ll often finish up several hours of a long drive without even really noticing it, so long as I’m not constantly checking the ETA. If you’re not driving in the middle of the day, getting tired can be an issue - I like to make sure I get a lot of sleep before a long drive, and sometimes even change my sleep schedule for a couple days beforehand if I’m going to be driving while I’d usually be asleep. If I’m really worried, I might buy an energy drink or two, but I usually only do that for 10+ hour drives.


  • I got a bench and all the weights and bars I could ever need for a couple hundred bucks on Craigslist after looking for deals for about a week. They even came with little bars so I can use the smaller plates as dumbbells. Obviously it’d be harder for someone in a more rural area, but exercise equipment is usually pretty easy to find relatively cheap second-hand. Way better than a gym membership so long as you’ve got a bit of space in your home for a bench. Paired with basic body-weight maneuvers and some running shoes, you can get all the exercise you need without all the fancy stuff at a gym.
