I went off medication when I was 18 and struggled for a long time before going back on medication a few months ago. I'm 26. I did learn a lot about how to manage it on my own as far as time management goes but in general I'm definitely better off medicated. The difference in my life since going back on it has been significant. It's definitely not for everyone though. I'm on a pretty low dosage of Concerta (18mg a day) and it's unbelievable how much it has helped me, I wish I had taken the plunge sooner. 

 

I was on Concerta for a week or two in middle school, but unfortunately my guardians decided it was too expensive/not effective even though I'm pretty sure it wasn't long enough to establish the latter.

Yeah, I wish there was more to do on the site, especially to make money. It seems like the only way to make a good amount of gold WITHOUT spending hours of work is to have some really fancy dragons with the most recent genes to breed and sell. And even then it's still technically an investment of at least week before you see a dime - and that's assuming you have good babies from the hatch that anyone is willing to buy. But most dragons are just barely worth their exalt value if that.

 

I think part of it is that most of the items in the game are reoccurring so that they don't keep value, and they sure as heck don't GAIN value. So there's no way to invest in anything to grow your wealth over time. Tbh I wouldn't be driven to cheat if there were more legit ways to succeed in-game. 

 

Not that there's anything wrong that, but I don't usually risk the banhammer if I can get the same stuff legit or mostly legit.

Tbh most of the time the scripts I've used auto-start on a specific page and stops when the action is done (I don't know if they all do that?) but it doesn't refresh the page itself or have a timer, so I just set up a refresher on random and it seems to camouflage scripts that are too consistent. I dunno if it would do much good with actual bots that require user input each time they start though.

I have ADHD predominantly inattentive (also known as ADD) and if you ever want to chat about it, I'm available. 

 

Thanks, I appreciate the offer! I'll definitely do so sometime.

I was "misdiagnosed" with autism (by which I mean my guardian just decided that was what I had, and used it as an excuse to justify controlling my life) so that was fun. Basically the whole "autistics barely count as human beings" bullshit. I'm still trying to figure out how to function as a person much less an adult. 

 

It turns out I probably do have pretty severe ADD and possibly dyscalculia, but the fam (different from the ones above) doesn't believe ADD is a real thing or worse think you just have to "power through it". So they aren't actually interested in helping me get access to medication, even though it would probably help me hold down a job and take more classes at college. What's worse is that meds for ADD have some of the highest effectiveness for people that actually need it, but because of all the misunderstandings surrounding the disorder it's hard to get a diagnosis even if you have the means.

 

For those wondering why that's a big deal, ADD can cause significant impairment in emotional regulation, memory retention, and executive function - the ability to plan and then execute an action. So it can be a huge pain in the ass for getting anything at all done.
