  • You take Adderall so I assume you have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist/neurologist, and other possible causes for uncontrollable behavior have been ruled out (e.g. manic episodes)?

    Other than that, what helped me most was actually sitting down with a psychologist for some good old cognitive behavioral therapy to better understand my responses to the world around me and learn strategies and tools to help me navigate my daily live :)

    What I’ve learned during my now 16 years of adulthood living with ADD: stay the fuck away from most productivity hacks you find online. They’re not for you, they’re for neurotypicals and will most likely make you feel like a useless piece of shit when they will inevitably fail to work.

    You have an executive function disorder, so the first thing that goes out the window when you’re not at your 100% best is routines and plans (you know the stuff others can cling to and keep doing automatically even when everything else in their lives comes crashing down).

    Sorry, that last part was a bit of a ramble 😅


  • Having had a cursory look through the docs about Stripe Connect, it looks like you’re not doing business directly with stripe anymore(?).

    These plugins you’re using are acting as a “Platform” in the below diagram and make API requests on your behalf with their own Stripe Secret Key and your account id [0].

    So I guess the credentials you’re sharing is “just” the auth credential for the platform which will then turn around and will make API calls to stripe on your behalf.

    The way I see it you’d have to implement the API calls yourself and ditch the whole Stripe Connect/Platform model in order to be in charge. Although this is probably not worth it for you because you’ll probably drown in PCI-DSS requirements
