Re: Just Checking In
Whoa. It's been a little over ten hours since my first dose of the new meds, and I'm just... is this how other people live? Not 500 thoughts constantly screaming in their brain, each trying to get attention? A quiet mind? A sense of control????
Strattera, my beloved, do not betray me with weird side effects, I beseech you. This is the greatest I've felt in a loooong time!
I have to admit, though, there is a part of me that is a little bit resentful. If I'd been diagnosed earlier, if I'd had access to meds like this, what might have been? Where would I be now? But I also understand. I am part of Generation Undiagnosed, and the diagnostics, particularly for the way I present ADHD symptoms, just weren't there until recently. Better late than never, and all that, I guess.
And it's true. Whatever might-have-beens can't be changed, but the way I'm feeling now is like seeing a light at the end of a tunnel I didn't even know I was in, and that's absolutely priceless.

And I'm right there with you in the "wtf how did I survive this long without it???" ಠ_ಠ It's really frustrating looking back at like, school and past jobs and knowing now WHY everything felt like a struggle. It's genuinely sad, but I'm glad we both have something to help going forward. Hope it continues to be a boon for you!
