I seem to remember they found Scott’s notes, as well as documentation, including photos (plates?) of them at Amundsen’s abandoned tent when they found the bodies but can’t find a source just now.

That’s amazing! I’m sure there’s loads of family stories?! Fun fact, I work at an archive and recently researched Amundsen’s North Pole expedition and the flying boat he used, very impressive story despite them failing to reach the pole!

Amundsen, the one that succeded in the race to the South Pole lived by a great motto: You only need good luck if you didn’t plan properly. He was a true adventurer with a sharp mind, shame he disappeared on a rescue mission.

The sled dogs were eaten too, if I remember correctly.

I’m always so sad seeing the Scott expedition photos knowing that these guys in this image were doomed. THe British crew would have felt so horrible spotting the Norwegian flag at the South Pole, after what they went through. I’ve read the accounts and went through these beautiful images, it’s so harrowing to know their fate.

Mission Clop secret broke me haha

Wait till you find out there’s colors other than green :) Seriously, I love all the pastel colored ones, they remind me of candy!

While I hated these repetitive comments on reddit, I actually think this obe is a most welcome tradition to post under any and all Trump posts - just this one, single comment and nothing else.

Oh my god, yes! Less frustration, less anger at insignificant things, and I guess less “cunty” overall which is the most important benefit for me. Just like you, I feel like a total asshole when I’m not medicated, and I don’t like myself very much in these situations…

I’ve been making it easier on me, by getting used crafts materials off of craigslist. Also, selling what I’m not using anymore has helped immensely with justifying investing into a new hobby :)

Thanks for your advice! Since getting diagnosed and being more aware of how ADHD brains work, at least I’ve become better at identifying what makes me frustrated or mad.

Often, it’s the triggers adding up by the end of the day, especially noise and visual commotion drain me. I can control my frustration most of the time (outwardly) but may be grinding my teeth or swearing under my breath, even knowing I am overreacting. I’ve had outbursts though and while only verbal, I feel like shit lashing out at loved ones over nothing. It’s like know I’m overreacting but I can’t stop myself.

I am trying to take control though, as you suggested. I got some Loop earplugs and NC headphones last year and have been using them daily when I know I’ll be in a stressful situation. My partner knows how I get stressed and doesn’t mind if I pop in the Loops, and I’ve been open about when I start feeling overwhelmed. It’s helped a good bit with the mental drain but meds have been especially helpful for my mood in the evenings.

Sorry for the wall of text! Adhd made me do it.

I also take breaks but I am so much more short-tempered off my meds that I am starting to not like how I am, especially in the evenings when my mental capacity is spent. Any tips?

I always say “Oh now I can only remember that word in German” to cover for the fact that I simply don’t remember the English word.

This is such a simple statment but for me, it makes all the difference! It’s a compounding effect too, so in the evening, I still have enough reserves and I’m not on edge or dead tired from fighting my brain all day.

Huel is very oaty, I had it for a while until I tried some other brands. I currently drink YFood Chocolate which is a lot like a milk shake, the other flavors are good too. There’s a larger number of complete foods brands now than just a few years ago, you could try some to see if these are to your taste. I’m allergie to soy so my selection is a bit limited.

I’ve opted for complete foods like Huel powder (comparable to Soylent) as it takes the stress out of eating for me. For some reason, drinking my calories is a lot easier plus it’s simple to just carry around some powder and mix it with water on the go when I feel hungry but too overwhelmed to find food.
