I assume one becomes a chef because they have a love for cooking and food and the artistry involved, but I can’t think of anything more eroding to that love of the craft than the kind of working day I see chefs and other kitchen staff go through. It seems to an outsider like me that it’s basically a shift-length panic attack, every day. But that can’t be the case, or no one would do the job!
Don’t they put people with ADHD to sleep?
Wait what!?
Yes, stimulants slow down an ADHD brain. When I tried out drugs a couple decades before being diagnosed cocaine was weird for me because everyone else who used it acted like I felt all the time while I calmed down and felt chill like everyone else did when they smoked weed.
Telling a doctor this helped when getting diagnosed.
Being on Lemmy, I’ve started to notice how little I know about conditions I’ve had my whole life. I guess I simply got the diagnosis and then that was it, for whatever reason didn’t really feel much interest in reading about it.
A lot of people with ADHD, stimulants make your brain’s brakes start working.
Yeah, for many people they do that! But if your brain is in absolute overdrive by nature it’s actually a performance boost to slow it down to a point where you have proper control over it.
My late diagnosis sure explained why I thought energy drinks didn’t do shit
