I Have Been Off & On
I am with SmilinEyes I get ADA help when I am able to go to school. I have had to take breaks because of antidepressant failure and medication changes (which is not a nice thing to go threw). Now that my body has cleared antidepressants in it I feel better! My psychiatrist put me on a new regimen for ADD.
So I am trying school again to finish my Master's after a break since December 2013. So far I have had the energy, motivation but the concentration is on it's own schedule of mid day hours. The Instructors are very understanding so that takes off that pressure. I am thankful for my tape recorder because it's my best friend lol. I can only take one class at a time.
I get feeling sometimes overwhelmed with just one class. I still get headaches when I do get to concentrate. I look at it as a brain workout, cognitive therapy!No pain No gain. I sometimes get work and it will seem so familiar and I can talk it out but I cannot put in words on paper. My mind goes blank. I use the tape recorder for this reason as well.
It seems like I can make it threw writing a paper and get a good grade! BUT AFTER I CANNOT REMEMBER what the paper consisted of. Eeeek
Does anyone else have this problem?
