    Item #4 is making item #3 a serious problem for me.  I am on day two of my new exercise program.  I can barely walk down the stairs, and if something falls on the floor...it can stay there.  Lol, but I feel better!

    I think this is just where we are in our recovery.  I have days like this, too.  I am having to force myself to be a happy soul.  It will come back, I have to believe this.  So, we can only hang in there and keep on keeping on.

    It is not only the calming needs.   I wish I could make people understand.  Just know that I have tried everything and more.  Her psychiatrist has stopped just short of diagnosing  an autism spectrum disorder PDD-NOS.  I am wary of labels that follow you forever.  Cannabis oil, that would make her post stimulant munchies worse!  LOL!

    DangerBean,

     

    My daughter takes Strattera for her ADD.  I took her off Concerta the day after I quit Adderall.  Anyhow, it seems to help her a lot and doesn't wear off in the evening.  She is crazy as a bat without meds, so it is hard to judge what is a bad side effect for her. 

     

    I don't advocate meds if you don't really need them, but the girl can't function in society without drugs.  She is one of those people who would be chained in an attic or in a mental institution back in the olden days.

    I remember sitting in a corner, reading a book, checking my phone...anything to avoid talking to people.  The reason I didn't want to talk was how I couldn't pull words out of my brain.  I also had a hard time with eye contact.  I was soooo twitchy.  Glad that is over and I can be the life of the party if I want to be.   I don't want to be at parties right now, but I enjoy hanging with coworkers in the break room.  It is nice to be on the road to recovery...

    Don't go back!  I am only 9 months clean, but I had to have a crutch.  So, I took up a hobby.  Art.  I found that on days when I didn't feel like doing anything at all, I could at least draw and shade.  I have heard others mention meditation, and I use zentangle as my meditation.  Drawing patterns, over and over and over...very calming.  I wish I could give you some words of wisdom, but I can only encourage you to stay the course.  YOU CAN DO IT!!!
