    I am so glad I am off work right now, I really needed it badly. My meds don’t seem to be working as well, which I think has to do with my cycle. So, I’m restless and scattered right now, trying to stop spinning and feel more grounded. Coffee is helping :)

    Something positive I’m doing is a radical forgiveness session today. I don’t really know what to expect, but I have heard great feedback about the people I’ll be working with. I have a lot to forgive, and it’s about time. Maybe it will also give me some focus since it involves meditation.

      Unsure what radical forgiveness entails, but don’t forget to forgive yourself and show yourself patience and gentleness. We are all human and make mistakes. You’re doing the best you can do and that’s always admirable. Cheers.

        Thank you so much! Your words really touched me. I couldn’t agree more - forgiveness entails a lot of self-compassion.

    Time off without structure is so hard for me. I don’t want to do anything but by not doing anything I am making myself more miserable.

    I have started making small to-do lists and I think that helps a bit.

    Finally got an evaluation and my diagnosis. The specialist I was working with said I scored high and recommended amphetamines. My PCP gave me a very low dose extended release Adderall. Today is my first day on it… I feel weird. I don’t feel wired or anything. My blood pressure is lightly elevated, I have a slight headache, and I feel like someone put one of those lead blankets from the dentist’s office on me. I feel calmer and like I should be sleepy… but I’m not sleepy. This is a strange feeling. It slightly feels like when I was on Zoloft, which I liken to walking outside into heavy snow and everything is dampened… but it’s not quite like that either because Zoloft made me into a lazy potato. So, how long does it take for me to get adjust to this? My PCP told me I don’t have to take it daily. I plan on having “off” days when I’m not working or doing grad school stuff.
