My original thought was to post this in the Adderall section, but it's something I really want to share with everyone in the more "General ADD Talk" space.

I've been taking Adderall for 10 days now and, with every passing day, I become more and more aware of just how much my life has changed for the better.

It truly hit home this past weekend, when my theatre company had an ensemble retreat. The plan was to spend a weekend at one of our member's cabin to talk through what was working and what wasn't when it came to the overall management/artistic direction of the company.

Throughout the years, my story was like so many others with ADD; I had great ideas, but my mind would get clouded or staticy whenever I would try and get them out. "Why can't you understand," would be something that would race through my mind on a constant basis.

During the retreat, though, my mind was clear and my ideas came out. Where, before, I would be sitting on the sidelines unable to work through the muck of a million+ ideas fighting for my concious thought, I was able to hone in and work through what I wanted to think about.

For the first time ever, I really feel as though everything I wanted to say was said and understood.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that with everyone. Happy Monday!

Thats great!:D Its always nice to see the postive.

Good work on the positive note, I am kind of jealous but I am happy for you, it's good when things work out, but considering what I came from and the reintroduction of stimulants into my medications I can say that I remember the "Aha's" that I got from taking meds again.

Medications can make some forms of communication easier, which they had pills for all communication difficulties. Glad you have a productive retreat.

I will admit, though, sometimes I get a bit carried away. My girlfriend called me on her way home from work last week and asked what I was doing. Apparently my response of "I'm washing dishes!" sounded like I had just won the lottery. :)
