After reading what you just wrote here, I am now much more convinced you are experiencing a Schizophrenic episode. Please please seek treatment immediately.

Bossrat, you're speaking in platitudes, and being vague. No there are not many explanations for multi day long psychosis. In fact, psychosis from Adderal and all those other things you mentioned is a more rare side-effect than the percentage of people who will get Schizophrenia to begin with. So please, fully understand a topic before you interject.

Please realize Schizophrenia affects 1.1% of the American population, and that's just the general form, and that which is diagnosed. The real number is likely higher. It is neither an 'extreme diagnosis' nor is it that rare.

This is a very dangerous assumption. Often drug use brings out peoples underlying mental health condition. Do not assume they are related just because you started taking Adderal recently. In the case of my friend, he attributed his symptoms to first time cannabis use in college, thinking if he just stopped smoking it would go away. It didn't.

I also want to point out that the feeling of being sick/tired after your 'episode' is also very common. As I've been told by a doctor, this is due to your brain going in overdrive for a few days, and then crashing. Typically it results in a a deep depression.

It always starts out small like this though, and it's extremely common for a person after their first few episodes to still not believe they have Schizophrenia, so please don't trust yourself.

I should also be clear, we could be talking about Schizoaffective Disorder. Schizophrenia is sort of umbrella term. I find it's often used incorrectly. Lots of people who suffer still have prolonged periods of being completely normal and lucid, some even go into year long remissions. It's a complicated disease, and you've displayed the tell-tale first sign almost to a T.

Hi qwertyFish thank you so much for reaching out.

I have a close family member, and close friend who both suffer from Schizophrenia. Although I'd hate to make any type of diagnosis over a medium like this, I feel you've been descriptive enough for me to make an educated guess.

Schizophrenia is a fairly complex disorder with varying levels of severity. What you described sounds very close to what a lot of people describe as their first 'episode', which commonly comes between the ages of 18-30. It includes what you've described, a long period of being awake, with intense thoughts, paranoia, and a inescapable need to 'do something' (such as wipe your devices).

One of the greatest challenges of dealing with this is finding treatment fast enough before the disease progresses. Often once it progresses, the person no longer is able to realize something is wrong. As you've described it, you still have that sinking feeling that something isn't right. Often at this stage general practitioners will not understand the disease enough to make a diagnosis, so it's important you see a trained psychiatrist as soon as possible.

For your question about evaluating your condition objectively, this is part of the core treatment of Schizophrenia and it's related disorders, so it would be best a doctor helps you with this. Adderral is a known to aggravate Schizophrenia as it interferes with Dopamine, I'd advise to cut down or stop taking it until you can speak to a doctor. There is also a very small chance you are experiencing a reaction to long term Adderall use it's self, experiencing a Amphetamine psychosis which has very symptoms to Schizophrenia but is temporary. Do not risk it though, for a lot of people if Schizophrenia advances, they are unable, or refuse to seek treatment.

Does this not make anyone else queasy? This is such a rabbit hole. Not to mention they list all these major companies on their homepage implying they're using AMP when it looks like the project only started early-mid summer. Seems a bit deceptive trying to oversell people into adopting it when they barely know if it works or wont be superseded shortly. Frustrating when big companies do this in open source.

The term hacker is just so overused at this point. Does it just mean someone who is good at tech in the Bay?

This is hilarious. It's called the complete book to Angular2 when it hasn't even been officially released yet.

Only thing irritating is the constant comparisons to Apple, not just in this article but any article. If a company can't compete with Apple it's suddenly a weak company that the author suggested the employees should quit from to 'join a startup'.

This is asinine. Motorola has licensed deals with almost every American and Canadian police/government force. They basically own digital RF encryption. They have a foothold in this industry and it's not close, and they can't be pushed out. If I was an employee in their radio division I could really care less if they are involved in phones are not.

It's still a billion dollar company, what are we even saying 'bye' to?

Looks EXACTLY like cybersquatting to me. You have to learn to read behind the lines here. I've had to deal with these people before, they are infuriating. Heres the facts that suck

- Has the domain for 16 years, doing nothing with it. - Strings a long a deal for purchase because it doesn't meet his demands. - Continues to fight extremely hard to do nothing with said domain.

I find it convenient the author never mention why the guy backed out of the deal, probably because his demand was $50k+ and completely unreasonable.

You see waves of technology adoption based a lot on language barriers. We're seeing this with Larval right now in India/SE-Asia, we've seen it with VB6, then .NET into Russia/South-America, and we're just starting to see node.js picking up in China.

People forget, documentation needs to be written, interpreted, then passed down through different channels, like programming communities, schools, person 2 person. This can take 4 years+. As soon as English speakers have mastered it, China is just starting to for example.

Node is here to stay, and it's already at a point with decent enterprise adoption, meaning it's going to take a lot of money and time to reverse the trend.

Jesus... 2013, already tossed to the side.

Please, no. Stop the JS framework insanity. There is zero room for this, it will benefit nobody, and just add static to already successful frameworks. If you disagree, just ask yourself whens the last time anybody said, "I think we need more variety in JS frameworks".

There isn't even an explanation on why they built this or released it, only that, "oh hey guys it's event driven". ASP.NET did this over a decade ago Twitter, but thanks for coming out.

I agree with the others, pretty common, even if you're not a company that's been acquired. I noticed most of them went away once I removed myself from my companies profile on Linkedin. They will typically try to downplay your pay/benefits. I had several just tell me I'm wasting my potential by living in the NorthEast as opposed to California.

I usually respond to such nonsense by countering with some huge number. I figure it's better than ignoring it as one day they might take the bait and I can cash in.
