  • I mean, I don’t make an appointment for all of that, I just send an email. My doctor is cool with it if I email them non-urgent questions and they will just get back to me when they can. I don’t do it often, but every once in a while if I have a question or concern about my health, I just send off a quick email.


  • It’s about personal responsibility. I’m not an expert, and I’m not going to pretend to be–especially when it comes to someone’s health. I feel like it’s important to make an effort to avoid misleading anyone.

    It’s also a good idea to talk to your doctor when you have quetions. I’ve consulted my doctor about supplements, water intake, and all kinds of seemingly innocuous things. When it comes to my ADHD, I talk to my care team regularly about the stuff I’m doing/not doing.

    TikTok does have a ton of misinformation, projections of learned helplessness, and recommendations of pseudoscience/under-studied treatments; but if you are a TikToker and really want to get ADHD tips there, here are a few users I’ve found that actually seem to know what they’re talking about:

    • HowToADHD (Jessica McCabe)
    • The_ADHD_Nutritionist (Marley Alex)
    • ADHDVision
    • ADHD_Coach_Ryan (ADHD Coach Ryan Mayer)

    Though even with them, take what they say with a grain of salt, do your homework, and talk to your doctor/therapist/executive function coach before implementing stuff that may impact your wellbeing. Also, be mindful of recommendations that are also paid sponsorships.

    I follow a couple more, personally, but I don’t feel comfortable recommending them because their suggestions and the information they provide can be a bit dubious at times.








  • Honestly, I migrated from Mastodon just when Calckey (now Firefish) seemed to be gaining more traction. I looked at available instances, and this was one of the first to pop up that checked most of my boxes, being that it is a generalistic instance (skewed a bit toward video game/nerd culture), was up-to-date and properly utilized HTTPS, and had limits I was cool with (character limits, drive storage, etc.). I later found out that it’s run by a tech YouTuber I admire, so that was a nice bonus.

    My only complaint is that there aren’t many custom emojis. lol
