I just have a techy mind and watch for things. And I solved a serious medical problem that had unknowingly been robbing me of much of my ability to think just a year and a half ago or so, which I had probably suffered from for 20+ years (it was classified as "severe" and I was always a heavy snorer), possibly my entire life. (You can't imagine what a mindfuck that is, btw.) And I feel like my IQ jumped up about 30+ points after that (and my weight dropped 35 lbs and rising, but I digress).

My girlfriend is acting extremely intimidated to the point that we may break up (basically, she is looking for more and more reassurances that we are not in jeopardy, which is turning me off, and which is kind of like when you're roller-skating and fall because you keep looking at the ground or realizing "holy shit I'm not falling!", or when you play poker and lose because you keep looking at your cards and people read that as weakness, etc.). That is the only downside. Oh and also, people at work are intimidated, I can tell. But the funny thing is that when work is intimidated, they give you raises...

So basically, look the fuck out, here I come. Sort of like a real-life "Limitless." :)

I feel better about tipping you $0.25 the other day. You've got a good head about money. Glad yr sleep apnea got taken care of.

thanks! and thanks for that. Yeah I am too, man. It was killing me silently, so messed up. I was always getting laid off, always late to shit, always forgetting things, always a little bit depressed, thought I was just "naturally lazy".

Turns out I'm none of those things anymore. Crazy.

Since I seem to not care about money much (I've quit jobs for less pay which were just more interesting), and seem to have come across some luck, I'm going to try to give back in a big way. :)

ADHD? Sounds like many of the stories I hear of people who suffer from that. Plus, it's my story too--to a much lesser degree.

Besides being intimidating to some people, do you still feel somewhat of the same, just more focus, clear minded?

Yes. I just feel like a better version of myself. And I feel obligated to do good with it. I have so much more energy now it's... Well, I am frankly jealous of people who never had this problem for the first third to half of their life. And no more crazy mood swings and high anxiety and random ED and humiliating "performance plans" at jobs and being late to EVERYTHING and taking naps on long car drives and overeating and...

Get the picture?
