I realized 3 more this weekend: #1 bow hunting #2 technology #3 mental gymnastics (puzzles) Trying to get back into the swing of things is tough and every time I run into the smallest amount of resistance in anything I find myself giving up and defeated. So maybe I'm just soured on anything that requires mental stamina?

Fighting with some sort of weird chest congestion lately, it seems to be an annual problem in the fall since I started Adderall. I usually have to get a prescription for Prednisone to clear it up but I'm trying to see if Mucinex will cut it.

I thought a little more about it and I believe that there will be an increase in more of the "white collar" diagnoses because a lot of "blue collar" people will now have access to drug dealers, I mean doctors. We could see a rise in ADHD patients because more bad parents will want a miracle pill to control their problem children; these would be the same people who expect the schools and TV to raise their children for them.

Chelle, I just want to echo Jon's sentiments that we are here for you. Perhaps some time spent daily with some self assurance exercises could bring some positivity to your post quit life? And if your husband makes a comment about a huge ass, put him in his place and make him realize that the only huge ass in the room is him. You are strong enough to take control of your own destiny!

the best way to solve a problem give up
JustinW replied to zhenka11230's topic in General Discussion
Interesting read, it has some great points; but in the end it is mired with a sales pitch. -
In the words of Cheryl Crow - "Gone, real gone" - I'm starin' at the door and have one meeting to go then it's off into the woods.

@FW - I know I need to be more intentional with the procrastination thing. Congratulations on 2 weeks down! @LL - I don't know when you changed your avatar, but LOVE IT!!! You can make it through today; you've got 38 days down and today is just another day that you will conquer.

Gum can also help, even though it is a nasty habit. It fills your stomach with air giving you the sensation of being full.

Girlfriend / boyfriend abuse isn't always physical; sometimes it is emotional abuse. Please consider if this is the case in your situation. Take control of your life and become master of your destiny. You deserve the best.

@SS9 - Very true! @Chelle - how are you doing? haven't talked to you for a while.

It sounds like you are overthinking things and then obsessing about them, relax and get comfortable with who you are today.

It seems that I have sleep issues at least once a week (thank you Jon for making me more aware of the problem); last night I awoke at 1:40 and didn't get to sleep until 3:30. During that lovely time I started to obsess over a single issue. But yeah, check to so many of the points mentioned above.

I don't know the age of your sister or your relationship with her, all I can say is "be there for her no matter what". (not implying that you wouldn't regardless)

Not handicapped, just a little uncoordinated at times; this has always been the case pre and post adderall. Adderall did help somewhat.

I don't want a politcal discussion here on the merits of the PPACA, but I am curious what effects you think we will see on our over prescribed culture from univeral access to doctors and medications. My opinion is that we will see an increase in the prescription of really bad drugs like amphetamines and benzos.
-
Yes, but it will take hard work.

Interesting, I didn't know there was such a thing as libertarian socialism. Thanks for the rabbit trail!

One more symptom that my previous post exhibits is the lack of ability to consolidate information from multiple sources. LOL

Getting through this with ninja like skills I see, awesome! @FW - Tomorrow is your half way point, or 3/4 depending on your frame of reference. Maybe I'll have to look into this fat kid and cake thing; there just may be something to it. @LL and @SS9 - How are you doing?
