Oh this ****ing great right now! lol haha. im on adderall (1 1/2 months into it) my brother is on stratera, my dad is on alcohol, my mom is on permanent pms. oh this is great

Setting: my (i'm tony) room, 15yo brother is downloading a strategy guide off my computer. i am studying like a crack head. my dad is having fun stumbling around and cleaning up the whole house and back yard.

Dad: "Billy, will you help me wash the boat?" *calm question*
billy: "Sure, why not." *in a calm distracted voice*
Dad: "Because I said so!! I'm your father." *blaring anger* (dad misinterpreted brother)
billy: "Are you gonna be like this the whole time?" *simple calm stare and question*
Dad: "Excuse me? Get out here and help me!" *commanding/pleading voice*
Billy: "Fine, I guess." *mumbling under his breath*
Dad: "If your gonna be like...
Billy: "F*ck you! I'm not going to argue with you." *turns around calm as if nothing happened*
Dad realizes billy is reacting from stratera....
Dad: "billy, will you please come and help."
Billy: I'm not arguing with you.
Billy ignores dad rest of night....

Oh this is hilarious sh*t around my house right now, we are all figuring ourselfs out with meds. lol this is funny. I am going back to studying like the premed on amphetamine that i am. lol this funny sh*t.

maybe this is one of those you had to have had been theres.. but oh man yesterday the whole day went like this. Everyone was swinging from a perfect serene calm/hyperfocused/manical genius study/ultra agressive *ss. we are all taking turns in our emotions. this is so funny.. or so sad. one of the two. lol, i choose to laugh and learn from this.

sounds *a lot* like my family!!!
:(

i've said it before, and i'll say it again: if my father lives long enough (he's terminally ill with bone cancer), he'll be diagnosed with "ring of fire add" with an asperger syndrome "twist", and my mother'd probably end up somewhere on the adhd scale too...
