In the hospital, a wife hugs her husband, a soldier of the 47th brigade Andriy, who lost his hands and vision in the battle against the occupiers. Story in the comments. in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

Hope one day we have the tech to at least partially restore his sight... For hands we kindof have prosthetics but losing eyesight AND your arms... The least brave Ukrainian is braver than I'll ever be.

Can anyone help me with my graphics card issues? AMD Radeon 580 (SOLVED) in c/pcmasterrace@lemmy.world

Have you tried formatting it yet? Someone else suggested DDU so give that a go first.

It could've been damaged but for now it looks like software issues. Unless you've noticed artifacts on screen or loss of image or something I don't think it's the GPU.

Thank you so much! Your feedback has left me more at ease. I was likely overthinking it.

I started with a general doctor but after 6months of just anti depressants and no real results I decided to book an appointment with an ADHD expert Dr. After being followed for close to a year now and changing anti depressants I've started ADHD meds today.

Concerta

Oh that's great to know! That's what I'm trying to do as well. A bit apprehensive on the exercise because the meds are supposed to mess with your heart and I'm way out of shape. I'm more active for sure, that was part of of getting off some anti depressants.

Hey! Thanks, that was a very wholesome read. I usually just lurked around the R named place, but lemmy is lemmy :)

I think the brand name is Concerta/Ritalin and apparently it's been connected to heart failure. And obviously has dependency concerns but... Yeah I'm probably worrying too much.

I don't drink alcohol at all or smoke anything, but I do take too much caffeine. I'll start to reduce it not only for myself but also because my shrink said that, while it's not absolutely necessary, I should try to cut back.

Maybe I'm confusing fear with excitement. :)

Concerta/Ritalin. Heart failure apparently and potential dependency :/ (not sure if these are the exact conditions in English as I'm not from an English speaking country)

Funny meme.

27, got diagnosed about 1year ago and have been decreasing my anti depressants since then and will start my ADHD meds tomorrow. Here's hoping you get there too!

Kinda scared though not gonna lie, because I read the fucking side effects... Shouldn't have...

Edit: Thought I should give you all some feedback. Took the meds and I'm feeling fine. It's a very small dose for now though. 2.5mg which according to my Dr. should be barely noticeable but we'll adapt as time goes by.
