Then I tried to get a short sleep approximately at 8:40 because I was tired from taking care of my little one, her teeth are coming out and she doesn't deal with it very well.
Basically I took the pills at home with no one or nothing to interrupt me so I can concentrate on my feelings. I couldn't get to sleep, not sure why. It could be concerta kicking in slowly or my habit of not sleeping mornings or maybe the excitement of yesterdays beginning of writing a book.
Anyway I made coffe, fired up my work laptop, reviewed some emails and proceeded drinking coffee while on my private computer and reading reddits deepdive subjects.
Remembering yesterdays experience:
I made a promise to myself that I would stop after 3 articles and switch to work.
So I did and it worked. I need to make controlled decisions of when to stop a focused activity a habit.
Also, today I'm working only half a day so I will have an opportunity to test my response to concerta outside of working or "Tasked" environment and actually participate in a long conversation with my mom. She does not know that I was diagnosed with ADHD and than I'm on meds so it will interesting to see how she reacts to me when I'm not zoning off in a middle of conversation.
I'm also afraid that I might get awkward silence moments.
Since I started the meds I was able to stop snacking and sitting long on tasks with my mouth closed. That creates bad breath smell and I am the first one to feel it (Luckily i guess)
To solve that I bough tictacs for work and my bag so I would get that sorted out before it impacts my social life.
Let's see how the above plays out today.
It was actually great! I was was social and focused on conversations. Didn't drop the ball and had a great day with my mom.
The only thing is, I had no access for water for about 3 hours. That is not a good thing when you are on any ADHD medicine. It lead to headache and I had to take an advil.
