    I don’t think preppers are a monolith. There are people from different backgrounds, different politics, different concerns, and different methods (and degrees) of preparedness. People who make it about hoarding goods and resources are probably just doing it wrong.




  • Also, I think it’s probably more the oxygen deprivation that is relevant in my case. Sleep apnea refers to just stopping breathing while sleeping, which may or may not result in a significant decrease in blood oxygen saturation. In my case, it was causing a big drop in blood oxygen saturation and I suspect this was the case for decades. Once that was corrected, I found it much easier to be “productive” in the narrow sense that normies use that word.

    If your theory of the disease is such that it has a singular cause, then I suppose this may be true and we could conclude that I was misdiagnosed. But if you view it as a set of symptoms that may have multiple causes, then we could conclude that I had a different form of ADHD than the one you describe. Regardless, I had the lived experience of someone with ADHD for a very long time. I’ll also note that ADHD was not a diagnosis that existed yet when I was a child.
