Huh? From what I understand, it’s a swab test. And even if it were painful, would it really be useful for people to focus on that? I don’t anyone who should be getting it to feel discouraged from doing so.

I heard Area23 is developing a prototype for a shot that feels so painless, it’s like it doesn’t exist.

I had it done. Super long cotton swab all the way up your nose and down the throat (like gagging) only took samples, didn’t run the tests

The Corona virus isn’t the problem, the over leveraged corporations and banks that the government just extended zero% interest rates to is the problem. We have a corporate debt bubble and now that consumer demand is halted most of them can’t sustain cash flow.

The tests are so rare they probably just want to make sure they really get up in there and not waste it. Either that or they have to touch your brain for the test to work and the nose is the only accessible hole.

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.

He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!

The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
