"Oh how I wish I’d been diagnosed with ADHD when I was at school, Rather than having the teachers label me as lazy and a fool, Things wouldn’t have been as they were when I was a kid, When all teachers wanted when they looked at me was to get rid! I felt well out of sorts this morning, ...
SELF-CARE, AS IMPORTANT AS THE MEDS!
"Adderall for my ADHD, and coffee, that's me, free of the shackles of fatigue and lethargy, I now feel awake, alive, but for Corona there'd be high-fives all around, yup, now feel sound as a pound, let's have a round of applause for adderall and caffeine, I mean, in the words of James Brown - and he knew, he was no clown, ...
ADHD, A MISSED DIAGNOSIS
https://www.facebook.com/james.gould.754/videos/10160023163590828/ "Some quotations really resonate, and this one, by James Michener, is great: 'I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.' Now, THAT is a notion, replete with emotion, which really strikes a chord with me. Thanks to depression and ADHD, which numbed my mind, made me 'blind', as a kid at school, I just couldn’t see it: to get my English ...
THE BLACK DOG’S REALLY SUNK HIS TEETH INTO ME THIS MORNING!
Wow! The chill winds of depression are cutting right through me this morning (I've taken my antidepressants but they may as well be sugar pills!). I'll be ok when I've taken my ADHD med (Adderall)*.

IF ONLY ADHD HAD BEEN RECOGNISED WHEN I WAS AT SCHOOL…
I’m feeling pretty emotional and tearful today. The effect that Adderall is having on me, on my ability to focus, on my attention level, on my positivity, the lift that is has given me, it is mind blowing! I feel like I have been let out of prison. I feel a sense of euphoria. I have ...
I AM NOW TAKING ADDERALL (like Ritalin): AM I RIGHT, HAVE I BEEN SUFFERING FROM AND WITH UNDIAGNOSED ADHD ALL MY LIFE?
I’ve been prescribed Adderall for ADHD. I'm 54. I take an antidepressant (Citalopram), anti-psychotic (Aripiprazole), together for clinical depression and OCD, and a beta blocker (Metoprolol) for panic attacks. I felt really flat this morning. Then I took my meds (taking Aripiprazole tonight). Buzzing, a new type of buzz! Not, IMHO, related to having also taken ...
