    I’m in the exact same boat, except I only recently started (1 year ago) my journey to diagnosis after learning that I’ve had anxiety and depression for most of my (30 year) life without knowing that the gloom in my life isn’t normal.

    Now I think Adhd might be the reason behind it all, as so much of what I’ve read about Adhd fits with what I struggle with.

    I always just lived my life thinking everyone else’s life was just as shit as mine, because I didn’t lock myself in the bedroom like “real depressed people”.

    Chatgpt answer:

    Yes, “reckful” is a real word, although it is rarely used in modern English. It means being thoughtful, careful, or prudent, essentially the opposite of “reckless.” It comes from the same root as “reck,” which means to care or pay attention to.

    Examples of Usage:

    In older texts, “reckful” might describe someone who is cautious or considerate of consequences: “He was reckful in his approach, weighing every decision carefully.”

    Why It’s Uncommon:

    “Reckless” became the dominant term in English, and “reckful” fell out of common usage. Today, terms like “careful,” “prudent,” or “mindful” are more likely to be used in its place.

    So while “reckful” is technically correct and would make sense in context, it might sound archaic or poetic to most modern English speakers.

    I like how some games use “increases by +10%” as percentage points and “increases by 10%” as percentage.

    Or how oath of exile does it, with “(base + base * increases by y%) * z% more”

    So with a base of 5%, chance increased by 20%, and chance increased by 30%, with a 40% more chance, you’d get:

    (5% + 5% x (20% + 30%)) x (1+40%) = 7.5% x 1.4 = 10.5%
