What Is Your Digital Diet Like?

Information junkie with unmedicated ADHD here.

As in I'm terribly bored most of the time, and as with mo...

There is a website called "Instructables" where anyone can post pictures and instructions of things they made or invented, anything from simple to extremely complex, if you have a computer. Also forums for professional trades.

What kind of stuff do you want to make yourself?

The digital thing is hard, the type of PTSD symptoms I had at times were so unmanageable I really should'...

I can identify in that I have spent many nights on the computer answering questions in my mind or researching political rumors or getting info so I know what's wrong with me and looking for help. I stay up until dawn and then sleep a few hours. I've learned more than I ever did in school and developed interests in things I never found interesting before.

I think it's unhealthy but my whole life has been unhealthy. I am edifying myself however and have more control over feedback.

This forum is the second one I've ever posted on regularly and I will skip it for months or years, same as the other one, which is about politics.

I think with a wider audience there is more likelihood of finding others who I can relate to, whereas in real life there are hardly any.

Thank you for care Knak, and the links.

It's a gear problem. Not enough money for spare parts & not scraps I need for most things I want to make of anything, at the time.
So clothes / utilities / tech must wait, I'm making simple things I can as toys and small design schtuff I have parts for / can grab 'em.

This forum is a huge part of it :p

Then we have YouTube educational content, and like, listening to music, sometimes watching spots, from bands I like...

Sometimes, though not often, if I'm interested in some game, I will watch some of it on youtube, like, for example lately I've been checking out Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

Then there is gaming :p Right now the main thing I play is Skyrim, but I've been also playing around with Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and Game Dev Tycoon...

Ocasionaly e-mail check and stuff.. Not common :p

Haven't needed information from the Deep Net for a while

Studying, and stuff... Movies, from time to time, not often, but there are some I keep rewatching...

Sometimes multitasking, e.g. exercise + studying... I do not like sitting too much, so often I will rather lay down then sit at the computer :)

Really liked my last job, I was standing the whole time and working on machines and their computer controllers :) For most of the time

What sort of stuff do you want to make, like, in what area? How much equipement do you need for making it and so on? Do you have it? Also, the skills?
