My apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section, but I couldn't fine somewhere else to post.

I've known about my adhd for about 7 months now, and I've recently stopped taking my meds due to a new benefits package at work that's kicking in starting Feb. I can tell that I need my meds, and when I don't take them I tend to suffer socially as well as relating to work (I was suspended from work for a bad attitude and I lost track of my thoughts during a phone interview for a job -- I did get a sit down interview out of it though).

Getting back on track, I wanted to try and go without meds to see if it was something I could deal with on my own, but I'm noticing myself lately as how I used to be/act when I didn't know I had the condition.

I would pace around my room with my headphones in and dance to music, often using props as like a microphone(this was when I was in highschool, I'm an only child and had nothing better to do). I think this is kind of strange, because I've been doing it lately. I will have conversations with myself when I'm alone about certain situations that I guess I'm hoping will happen. I think you could consider this daydreaming. It's not like people are around and Im talking to myself and they're watching..I'm always alone and I've never told anyone because well....it's strange. Isn't it? It's usually always something involving me making money from something. For example.. earlier yesterday I was alone and was having a conversation out loud with myself and a potential employer(I got called for a job interview but wasn't home to get the call), I was telling the conversation as if I got the job right away and got a really big raise, money up front and stuff and just...things that aren't really realistic. I guess it makes me feel better, maybe im subconciously trying to feel good about myself. It's not that I actually believe these things are happening, but im daydreaming about them being real.

I just wanted to know what I should do...should I tell my psychiatrist or.. this is something I've been doing for a really long time, sometimes every day, and I can't say it's affecting me but, sometimes I break down and cry because I know that some of the things would never happen..like getting back with my ex boyfriend or something crazy like that haha.

Does this seem weird to you guys too? Is this a medical condition as well, or...I just..I don't really want to keep doing it and I feel like I feel driven to do it because it makes me feel better sometimes. Has anyone else ever done this?

Feel free to share any stories..I just need to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for this!
