I can't help but notice that when you talk about our difficulties with or without medications you immediately light a cigarette. I think you were doing it on purpose ;).

@Inigecko nervous habit actually. I'm a fidgeter.

@allbabiesareatheists Lol yea it just gets to the point where it's like you want to ask how pathetic are you to keep this stupid thing up? I wish he'd target Onision at least then it would be funny. XD

[allbabiesareatheists]

@MistressArte You're preaching to the choir there.

[MistressArte]

@allbabiesareatheists It's so bloody obnoxious, he isn't even a good troll because everyone can tell it isn't you... I really wish he'd get a new hobby this is just stupid.

@bradjbourgeois73 nevery happened. It's a pedophile troll who is obsessed with me and my family. Please block him. Note the lack of an "s" and the two "L"s are replaced with "i"s in the name.

@aIIbabiesareatheist Sorry for your loss, my sympathies go to you and your family.

@withinspace I'm hoping to get back to some job during the day in the next months. Now that my bills are nearly 500 dollars less a month I have some flexibility in what I choose to do.

I worked nights for 11 months. Never again. I was constantly tired no matter how little or how much sleep I got. It eventually got to the point where my body started refusing to sleep and I was going to bed at 4PM and waking up at 9PM. I remember switching back to days was the best feeling ever. It was almost like a novelty waking up refreshed in the mornings.

On the coffee thing get a keurig ^__^ I buy the coffee from their online store and get free shipping and it's cheaper getting it that way then in the store. Coffee is really good for you. ^__^

I'm pretty sure I have Delayed sleep phase syndrome I'm most awake during the evening and late at night, and I've never been able to get on a morning schedule. It's just what I was born having so I really don't know what it's like to be really awake during the day. Even when I was a little kid I use to play with my toys when my parents were both asleep. XD

[allbabiesareatheists]

@Uhmu45 yes.

@ChuckMeIntoHell good to know! I'll look into that and maybe make a video about them. Bruxism is a very serious problem associated with ADHD and anything that can help is appreciated for sure.

[CanadienAtheist]

That's a little rough, but it makes for an interesting video.

I never liked a midnight shift either. It's tough enough to have a social life without being on an opposite schedule to everyone you know.

Don't know about in Canada, but here in the states (at least in California) there are over the counter mouth guards that you can get for under $20. They call them "boil and bite" mouth guards. You put them in boiling water to soften them up, then bite down on them to make the impression of your teeth. As long as you don't boil them again, they're permanent. They're not as good as the custom fit ones you get from a dentist, but if you need it, it's an inexpensive option. I got mine at Walgreen's

I worked nights only for 8 years, it sucked! Now on two weeks days then two weeks nights, not nearly as bad.

[Uhmu45]

Does nicotine help or you smoke it out of habit?

[allbabiesareatheists]

I've found that most dental plans cover at least the largest portion as long as you have a problem the dentist can prove. They also typically have a decent payment plan, often as a layaway with zero interest.
