Also interested if you have an invite!

I would say because it’s their job to serve their customers, even if they’re abroad? Especially for a travel insurance company.

I didn’t take ocdtrekkie’s question as attacking. How would you have phrased it to be more constructive?

This is my experience as well. I admire anyone that goes full .txt but I missed how easily markdown allows me to hierarchically organize my thoughts via headings and sub-headings.

I was lucky to have a teacher refer me to a mental health clinic, where a Licensed Mental Health Counselor was the one to write my prescriptions, rather than a doctor. That may be a good place to start. Otherwise you could bring it up with your primary care provider perhaps.

I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD relatively late (about 17). Before the diagnoses I’d tried planners, digital reminders, Pomodoro timers… but the only thing that’s consistently worked is medication. It’s hard to overstate just how much Adderall has improved my life and I’m positive I have a much happier life and higher income because of my altered ability to delay gratification and do long, boring tasks without issue. Highly recommend speaking to a doctor if you think you could benefit.

Only tangentially related, but I’ve been reading and enjoying Immune by Philipp Dettmer (founder of the YouTube channel Kurzgesagt). Would recommend it to anyone that likes to read about the fascinatingly complex processes the human body uses to keep itself ticking.
