At this point I will be tickled pink if I make it a week!!

This sounds JUST LIKE ME!!!!! When I had a boyfriend, I did the SAME thing. He'd have to work on Saturday and I'd be like, "Yesssssss!" I ignore friend's calls also. When I MAKE myself go hang out with them, I think about how much I'd rather be at home doing something random like organizing a bookshelf or trimming my dogs' nails.

Thank you for the welcome! I've quit denying, rationalizing, making excuses for the "evil flip." The honeymoon is way over and the only thing that will make me normal again is quitting. I've made it 3 days with NO adderall in the past 2 weeks...I know that sounds weak but I'm pretty darn proud. The funny thing is on the days I didn't take it, I felt creative again. My friends laughed at my jokes, I was way more normal than I am when I'm on it. Thank you all for the replies!!

First, I'd like to say how thankful I am to have found this site last night! Maybe this has already been discussed and in my attepmt to limit my useage I haven't bothered to look...if so, I apologize. I'm finally at a point in my life where I'm ready to end my relationship what used to be my dearest friend, who I affectionally call "Addie." Maybe I can even meet some new folks here! In addition to the 5 signs, which I completely identify with, I realized there might be a problem when I was taking adderall to "be able" to do activities I used to look forward to and enjoy. Adderall used to be only the motivation for specially boring or difficult tasks that I didn't want to do. It was for late night "special occasions" or cram sessions. Now I've started taking it before I go to shows with friends, before I go out on the beach, before I do ANYTHING. Anyone notice the same thing?
