Yesterday I decided to have no medication for some reason..

It was really weird. I honestly think I have forgotten *how* to act when I am not medicated! I used to put a LOT of effort into apppearing and acting *normal*, and yesterday I was like the proverbial *cat on a hot tin roof!!* I could not sit still, I was pacing around...acting like a complete 9 y/o hyper add'er:eek:

So, as I was going to sleep, I was thinking I am so used to the new me, I have forgotten how to be the *old* me :faint: :faint:

Does that me sense??:D

I don't like the old "me". I'm a disaster looking for a place to happen when I am not on medications. Some people should be medicated, and I am one of them. :eek: :faint: :)

Yes, if I don't take meds I really notice how I used to be. I'm amazed that I got by as well as I did for so long. The thing is, I got by because I had no choice. I also did not know my own condition, in that sense, ignorance was bliss.

The worst part is that I hate my hyper self when I am not on meds. It bothers people and that bothers me.

If it were not for the social problems and the wreckless impusivity I'd chose to not be on meds and just be as scattered as I naturally am. The plain and simple fact is that my adhd impairs me and I need to take meds to reduce my imairment. I take the meds and they work. I have no complaints there.


Me :D

Yupsie, what Speedo said, me too. Not Hyper H facter Hyper but hyperspeaking, interrupting, fidgeting, zoning-out-zombie style giant PITA to myself and others.

And that's just the ADHD bit! :eek:
