alicevangelineso yesterday I came to the conclusion that with a new housemate & pets, ty college-or-whatever-ness, and "the news" I am having to work too damn hard at focusing.
I've been avoiding taking ADHD med because it makes me a little sleepy, and because sometimes I NEED my attention to bounce everywhere so I don't forget random tasks. Also I experimented with taking it at "different Times Of Day" and then it wasn't a habit.
I think I found the limit where I can't force myself to focus and the medicine is a requirement.
So that tells me interesting facts about 'forcing myself to focus' and how many spoons I might have available to do that is based on what's going on in my life.
I remember a kinda scary moment last year when i was trying to drive home and it was like 7 pm, and dark, and I was kinda tired, and my mind was NOT on the road and I kept trying to rein it in.
Anyway. Yesterday and today I'm taking the medicine. I'm going to keep it AT WORK, which is where i generally need it. And LOOK HOW SHORT and on-topic THIS POST IS
