A mistake that really could’ve hurt
I made a huge mistake this morning while taking my morning meds. I have three pill sorters because I have morning medicine, night medicine, and right before bed medicine. I’ve had two of three for awhile now and they were a little gross. So I bought more. I filled them yesterday like I always do,…

On Defense
(This is from my draft folder that I never finished back in early January and posted. I thought it would be interesting to try to finish it up with more than 9 months of time since I first started writing the entry.) I had an appointment with my psychiatric nurse practitioner today. It was a…

Day 1
Today is Day 1 of me trying a new Adderall generic. So far I love it! It works better than anything else I’ve taken and being on two pills per day is amazing. It’s such a huge difference taking two, rather than one pill per day. I think I sleep better and feel better in…

Adderall Shortage
Today was my last day of having any Adderall. Well, generic Adderall. When I called the pharmacy to fill my prescription, I was informed that they don’t have any and it’s on backorder. That’s not cool. Once in a while I actually remember to refill it at the soonest opportunity. But usually I remember to…

ADHD Sucks

I have read articles about this, but I guess I didn’t understand how prevalent it really is. The way that these students are talking about this is crazy. It’s so interesting to hear these students describe…

Future plans
Today I have a phone call later with an admissions person from a program I’m considering applying to soon. I was approved for a program with the VA that allows me to participate in a program that the VA will pay for and I will also get a housing stipend. It’s called VRRAP and that…

Tomorrow feels scary
I have two appointments tomorrow. One is with my psychiatric nurse practitioner who prescribes my meds. And within these last three months, my meds aren’t working as well as they used to. My attention span hasn’t been what it was on adderall previously. I haven’t had an increase in forever and the next increase puts…

The Kid Life
My wife and I spent the gloomy afternoon playing the Classic NES. It was just as fun as I remember, although I used to be a lot better. “Hours of a misspent youth,” as I call it. Sometimes you just need to shake things up and do something when it’s too gross to get outside.…
