I almost don't want to post because I feel selfish but here's the thing.

So, I have a psychiatrist appointment this Wednesday and I'm scared but want to try ADHD meds while I have a chance (am not traveling, am in therapy, etc).
If she lets me, I might do it. If it's a stimulant, it should work pretty quickly and I'll find out soon enough if I could benefit from it or not.

why is it so scary for adults with ADHD though? I mean, kids are prescribed this stuff all the time. The fear of the unknown worries me.

I really ought to sit down wit

i posted that as is, because i knew i'd get logged out.

just had a nice long chat with H. I think I'm going to work on behavioral changes at home and in therapy more and wait on the meds.

Sorry I'm MIA more again. Life's just getting harder and harder to manage. Part of it
is from the cold weather. I just want to lay in bed all day under the covers.
the other part is that I've been working on my edits for my novel. That's been fun.

I guess there's a third part. I just seem to struggle with communication lately in general. Maybe
I'm just tired. Anyhoo, sorry I'm not around as much, but I guess I don't know what to say.

we have leftovers today so i didn't have to cook. that's one burden lifted.
tomorrow i'm back at it though. gotta figure out a meal plan. hmm

You would be tired. There's a lot going on in the world to make us all tired let alone all our other worries. You're still recovering too from having the procedure. Don't feel bad about posting. Everyone here understands. Just feel better...
