So i slept most of the day (friday) cos of pollen allergy headache and woke up round 3pm.. since i slept most of the day away i had forgotten to take my adhd medication. So i took that one when i woke up..

...now im still fully away and its closing in on 6am..

speaking of adhd, heres a good way to tell that ive got that shit.

At 3am i was doing some d&d reading, while watching telly, while watching an itterogation on youtube, while listening to music. I was supposed to do some writing when i noticed that i had forgotten to put a direct link to the d&d books on my streamdeck..so i decided to do that, but instead of doing that I went to make a cappuccino..and on the way i saw my 3dprinter and thought "hey, why not clean it?"...so at 3am i was standing in my kitchen with latex gloves on, mouth protection, dressed only in undes...while talking to my cat as i took out the chemicals needed for cleaning. I cleaned the printer, went back in to continue with d&d and ended up chatting with an old friend on messenger while "talking" to my cats...

its 5:50 and im still going strong - from 3am up until now its been a constant change of what do to lol.

Perhaps i should go to bed instead Very Happy

Edit: I wonder if my neigbours saw me..some years ago when i had spitting cobras one of my neigbours right across the road saw me standing with a hook, eye and eye protection (you could not see the snakes)...i still today wonder what he thought i was up to Razz
Edit2: Other strange things ive done through out the night so far: Polishing a helmet, sorting papers that i have not touched in years, cleaning a c64 motherboard, installing/uninstalling loads of games without starting them etc etc...


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

i'm not sure i can tell you have ADHD (i'm not a doctor!), but yes that medication is the shit Laughing I actually have some (well, one tablet..) Concerta laying around, and yes, if i take that (chew it / grind it first) there's going to be a lot of cleaning, dusting, all kinds of sorting in my drawers, perhaps starting a game for 5-10 minutes then switching to something else for 5 minutes... Wink

Hehe yeah, you get shitloads of energy. Without it i kind of sleep 24/h...and if i try to work, well i wont do a good job anymore as im incredible tired.
I've only been using the medication for 18months, but its the best bloody thing ive ever! It has changed my life Smile Also, i used to be very agressive and get into fights - now im still agressive, but i keep it in my brain rather than my fists Razz

Do you take it like you should, or do you chew it / grind it? I did try using it (Concerta) properly once, i noticed an improvement in mood and creativity, even if pretty vague.

Meh, no longer have a source for that stuff, but perhaps its for the better heh

I swallow it, but im supposed to take it when i wake up after eating breakfast...but i never eat breakfast (btw, im not a big/heavy guy...but ive lost like 20kg due to the medication during a 6month period..ive stopped losing weight now though).
Ive got 2 different strength (yeah, concerta) in the morning i take 54mg, but if i need to keep alert i have 18mg i can take in the afternoon.

Bad thing about adhd medication...well...if you got adhd you have a tendency to forget things Razz fortunatly i always have my medication with me and also a gf who keep her eyes on me Razz

Cool. Happy it's working out for you.

I'm forgetful too, I take betablocker against palpitations (can come randomly at night, so it wakes me up and then i can't sleep until it goes away), forgetting it sucks. I sometimes wonder if i have it because i took quite a lot of uppers when i was around 25-30, might have messed with the heart.. though my father have the same thing so its perhaps more likely i got it from him heh

Yeah that sounds like ADHD... At least the H part Very Happy

Medication is usually amphetamines (for adults at least) which, as known, provide energy boosts so hence the "polishing of the helmet" Cool Face

I was diagnosed as a teenager but never took any medication because...i dont know... Now I'm 40 and sometimes, besides the can't concentrate part, I have some brain fog here and there. Wonder if it's related.

Talked to a doc about a year ago and he told me since I didn't take anything as a kid I shouldn't start now and better do behavioral therapy. You guys tried that?

I've had different therapy throughout my whole life...did not work Sad

Btw, a great way (atleast for me) to describe my adhd is that if "normal" people see the world through Clint Eastwoods eyes - i see it through the eyes of an anime character (You know, silly big eyes).
Thats why i get tired. When I look at something i see everything at once rather than just the thing im supposed to look at Sad very tiresom..

Wasn't ADHD basically 'made up' by a German (I think he was) psychologist/psychiatrist in the 50's or 60's as he could not diagnose a rich patients son, who was basically a little fucking shit, and nothing was wrong with him (apart from being a shit) and he did not want to lose the custom.

Everyone I know who claims to have ADHD managed quite fine until they were 'diagnosed' (usually online) and now they say they are suffering Smile

The mind is a wonderful thing, people can convince themselves they have anything, it's very fashionable to have a disability now. Very Happy
