You ran out of capacity for coping mechanisms. Psychiatrist Dr Stephen Humphries explains how late diagnosed ADHDers cope through life by being bright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSjHYiTEA4M

I got on by having modular work (university, software engineer with Jira tickets overseen by a PM) which is small enough to still be done last-minute, constant manufactured anxiety to get me to get things done, being excused for being young and foreign (for being rude). Shit Life Syndrome and maturity (expectation to be responsible) meant exacerbated ADHD symptoms and a diagnosis.

David Lloyd in the UK is like Hotel California: "You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave!"

the 3-month contract is actually 4 months the 12-month contract is actually 15 months

Impossible to get out of the contract unless a you have doctor's letter for injury or you move further than 20 miles from a branch. There's no point signing up on a contract either as they raise prices mid-contract.

I recently started playing padel. Much easier to start and more satisfying than tennis. It's a very sociable HIIT workout. Matches are organised on an app Playtomic and the court is only confirmed once all 4 players pay. I find it hard to play tennis as there is no Tinder-like match system for it. I've seen my skills improve from hand-eye coordination, reading trajectory and rebound.

I also tap dance. It's a very technical and movement-dense dance where different combinations of steps are put together and can be in different styles by varying the rhythm and body movements.

Sailing is my new passion. Dinghy mainly and also some yachting. Dinghy racing combines adventure, a thrilling workout (pulling the trailer and the core workout of hiking) and STEM split-second decisions in a race like computing a self-driving car. Also great for mental health and like a support group as through yachting I've met career changers who are running away from depression.

The base MacBook Air had its price dropped to $999 in 2013 and battery life improved to 12 hours. That's what got me onto the Apple bandwagon.

No OLED please. I suffer from PWM sensitivity. Couldn't use the iPhone 13 Mini because of this. https://www.notebookcheck.net/PWM-Ranking-Notebooks-Smartpho...

I was dragged kicking and screaming from my iPhone SE 2016 as apps don't work on it anymore and it would shut down when it reached peak performance capacity. I used the Pixel 4A and have switched to the iPhone SE 2022. I get wrist tendon cramp from stretching to type and pinky strain from the weight on both phones.

I also loved the Xperia Compact line as it had pro features such as noise-cancelling wired earphones and NFC. My phone history: iPhone 4, Xperia V, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z5 Compact, iPhone SE 2016, iPhone 13 Mini, Pixel 4A, iPhone SE 2022.
