Popular Post Searchingsoul9 Posted March 6, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Complete your first small project without adderall. One of the milestones. So today i did my first small project, but i consider it big. I completely cleaned my room, organized my closet, moved furniture, redecorated, went through old things and threw out unneeded stuff. This was one of my absolute favorite things to do on adderall, but i would crash before i finished and then leave it undone for days. This time, i went at it for almost 3 and a half hours straight, and i am still going. Kind of pathetic i am so happy about that, haha. But i consider it a small victory. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldmcniel Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Good for you! I think that before I started Adderall, accomplishments like that made me feel a lot better than when I was on Adderall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motivation_Follows_Action Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Not pathetic AT ALL! It took me 3 months to get this far. You're bloody awesome you are! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LILTEX41 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Searching Soul, That is awesome!!! Way to go!! To me..that kind of cleaning and tidying is TORTURE, BUT it is so thrilling once you're done because your space is decluttered and now your mind will be as well! This is such a great way to get the ball rolling in your adderall free life. Now your mind is clear to start working on some fun projects! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit-once Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 All, I really doubt anybody cares, but I am SO excited by my accomplishment I just had to share. I finally just got off seroquel and lamictal. I've been on these drugs for the past 4 months (along with being adderall free) and they did the polar opposite of what adderall did. Now that I am clean and free of them I have energy back....FINALLY! I thought my issue was that I was just sheer screwed without adderall. I am here to tell everyone that is not the case!! I am just as capable off adderall as I was on it, it just takes a little more required effort/motivation. The reward is that I know I achieved the same end result, but that it was all my own doing. Yay! Why do I bring this cleaning project up? Well, not only am I proud of what I've achieved, but I can't believe the difference in the way I feel. I was always spotless on adderall. These past 4 months my apartment has become a dishoveled mess. I remember hearing that a disorganized environment leads to a disorganized mind or something of that nature. Anyhow, I think it is especially important for anyone with ADD to be as organized as possible. I can't seem to think straight when I look around and see clutter. Today, I'm going to take it one step further and clean out my kitchen and bathroom shelves. This is not exactly the way I dreamed of spending my days off, but I know for sure that the next month will be total bliss once everything is in perfect order. Oh yeah, and the shortcuts I used yesterday was 1. Made a list of everything I needed to do and buy to get organized (bought and assembled a shelving unit and storage bins) and 2. Told my friend I'd send before and after pics that night as my motivating factor (which I did). I think I'll post pics on this topic later and use that to motivate me today. Wish me luck!! LilTex, this was one of your early posts that helped to inspire me when I was quitting. It is similar in content to searchingsoul's one small step. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searchingsoul9 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Good for you! I think that before I started Adderall, accomplishments like that made me feel a lot better than when I was on Adderall. I agree. I did enjoy it on adderall, but i would get distracted on organizing one little spot on my desk for an hour or some stupid shithaha xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
