'Like I need an 'off' button for my brain. When I try to explain to others that some of my behavior is due to ADHD, they say I am making an excuse.'
ADHD – where to start – that’s how I can feel some days, “where do I even start”. For me, I was diagnosed later in life, so all my ‘quirks’ were actually symptoms. Who knew!? I always thought I was just an existentialist who felt compelled to understand life, people, the world… it’s a lot… I likely had two thousand ideas coursing threw my mind on a daily basis. I just figured I was a ‘thinker’.
Once diagnosed, I fully embraced ADHD as a blessing . When I took the first stimulant med, within 30 minutes, my life changed. I went from a ‘foggy’ existence of endless exhaustion, intermittent confusion, and quit possibly 2k ideas per day to – THE MATRIX. I remember clearly that day, pill taken, 30 minutes later… I am looking at my hands, as I waved them in front of me, marveled by the slow motion of it all.
This was a long answer, I didn’t say the meds stopped the flowing thoughts… I’m down to a manageable – 500 daily. Cheers
