Depression delights
It was actually a miracle/stroke of genius/blessing that I stopped taking my Adderall because it peeled back the covers to reveal a more basic issue that I probably wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. When Dr. Ware told me that depression actually causes cell death in the brain (which is repairable, thank goodness) I suddenly understood why I’ve been struggling with even basic tasks (but embarrassed to admit it).
Mood changes
Lilly is ONE YEAR OLD?
Can I actually have a granddaughter that will be one year old on Tuesday?
How did I get this old?
How did SHE get this old?
And so quickly, too.
We leave in the morning for Ohio. Taking along the puppy I am fostering for Triangle Sheltie Rescue.
Million dollar ideas
all of us come up with million-dollar ideas every week, perhaps even every day (for ADDivas like us, it might be as often as hourly!).
But we seldom ACT on those ideas, for a variety of reasons: lack of time, self doubt, fear of failure. So I propose that we use this space as a catch-all for our million dollar ideas.
Three weeks without Adderall
Does Ritalin make you smarter?
The littlest ADDiva
And Lilly Jean was cooing and cackling and grabbing and crawling and…I can’t help it. I’m just fascinated by her. Such a personable little gal, not afraid to show her personality or ask for what she wants
Stimulating everybody’s brain?
When I first tried stimulants they put me to sleep! It was the first thing that convinced me that I really had ADHD. I’d heard that people with ADHD have a “paradoxical response” to medication, so if I was sleepy after I took Dextrostat, I must have an ADD brain.
Does your iPad need the protection of an iMaxi with wings?
The Slate has morphed into the iPad. The iPad has been released for pre-order (yes, I did order one…my birthday present to me). And now the iMaxi with wings has been created to protect the iPad like, well, a soft pad.
This one is kinda gross, kinda funny. The alternate one (with a blood red lining)
Full disclosure: another ADDiva mishap
You know that sickening sound of metal crushing metal? That’s what I experienced as I backed out of the garage on the way (late of course)…
