well, its been two weeks since I was officially diagnosed with ADHD, and started on medication. I've noticed a HUGE change in myself, in my ability to concentrate, in my ability to control my emotions, and most of all in my ability to not be impulsive. Two weeks ago there was NO Way I could sit at the computer desk, listening to a CD and doing homework, I would have been up walking around every 5 minutes and talking on my phone, or texting. I couldn't walk into a store without buying something I didn't NEED, and would rationalize why I needed it. Now I don't have to do those things anymore. Its not 100%, but its better. and Its such a great feeling! I tried to control it on my own for 26 years, I thought medication made me weak, or that it lessened my faith in God, and now I'm finding its exactly the opposite, I feel so strengthened in so many areas of my life.
I can do homework, I can worship my God, I can sit and contemplate God in my life, without my brain going in 100 directions at once.
I'm curious have any of you who see me regularly noticed a difference?
