Well mine were already wall mounted lol but you can just do like jaybone said and use wire to make it as far from the wall as you want. I just used some leftover speaker wire and some eyelets, but you can buy purpose made "picture hanging wire" that is good for 20-30 pounds or so if you want to be extra sure.

For real. My TV and my tower speakers both come with these sharktooth lookin picture hanger things on the back for exactly that purpose.

One way to solve that would be get linen bed sheets. Expensive, yes, but linen is basically pre-wrinkled and gets softer with age. Instead of hundreds of very big wrinkles you'll have thousands of basically permanent small wrinkles. If it really gets bad you can just throw em in the dryer on cool and let that de-wrinkle them but I find it easier to just lean into the wrinkled "cottage" look.

It's also a pain in the ass if you don't have a lot of space around your bed. My parent's "camp" has a queen bed in basically a cubby and the only way to completely change the sheets to to hunch down on what's basically a side sill for the bed and contort yourself over it to stretch the sheets from corner to corner without having to kneel on the bed for support. I just stopped using a fitted sheet and throw a new top sheet on it once a week or so. works fine. plus its in a cubby so nobody sees the mess.

Something to understand about ADHD is that it's very much a "physical" issue. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts the signal pathways between your pre-frontal cortex (the brain's filter) and the amygdala (fight, flight, freeze). Some people's brains can sort of re-wire over time and you'll develop coping mechanisms, but I'm 39 and mine sure didn't. The stimulant medications stimulate various neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine which helps those malformed neural pathways function more effectively. It also tends to help with anxiety which often goes hand in hand with ADHD. Do yourself a little favor and read this article from Cleveland Clinic, they've been recommended to me by several health providers as a reputable source. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4784-attention-deficithyperactivity-disorder-adhd

https://add.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/adhd-questionnaire-ASRS111.pdf ask if a LCSW (most licensed therapists) or really any mental health provider will proctor this for you. Don't read it before they give it to you or it will skew your answers. This is what I was given before being offered medicine. Then when I responded well to the medication my psychiatrist was like "yeah you probably have ADHD. lets see how you do on the meds". Good luck.

Damn, that sucks. Yeah it was called ADD when I was diagnosed as well. It's all just ADHD now, but there are different presentations as I mentioned above. Also you can have ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder together now, which wasn't in the DSM prior to like 2014.

Are you in the US? And if so did your therapist offer to give you a screener? It's a self-evaluation that you can do, then you try meds and if the meds are effective you probably have ADHD. I wasn't given any kind of initial evaluation beyond that. And also there are three main presentations of ADHD - inattentive (lost in thought), hyperactive-impulsive (what the media focused on), and combined. Each individual's presentation will be unique though.

Subnautica is one of those games that's incredible hard to recreate. Once they started trying to explain every little thing about the aliens I completely lost interest. You may be able to bottle lightning, but you certainly can't do it twice.

Stardew lost 100% of it's appeal to me once I learned that the events just repeat year after year and there are no consequences for doing nothing. I really want to get into the cozy vibe gaming space but I just can't seem to do it.

I was unironically told that I should "keep a lower profile" if I want to avoid being bullied. I spoke to nobody and hugged the walls walking from class to class. I don't know how much lower of a profile I could keep.

Please don't pour fat down the drain. Starving children in Africa could use that bacon grease!
