My son just got put on ADHD medicine. We tried this 5 years ago, and I took him right back off. I didn't like how he was just sitting around like a zombie. It's a different medicine this time but still nervous about the whole thing. I don't want his behavior to change. I'm fine with his being full of life. It's mostly to settle his brain down to improve his learning. I'm afraid it's going to take my son away from me in a way and have him acting like a different person. My husband and son both have negative attitudes toward this. I'm unsure. I mostly gave in to my parents who have been with me all the way in getting him diagnosed last year, and I do want to do what is right for him. Tomorrow hopefully getting our property taxes dealt with. That will be a relief. But of course more bills coming in. Everyone seems to be in a bad mood today. I feel anxious, and everyone's grouchiness is getting to me. I want so much to just get away from everything for awhile. I did get a "new" pair of shoes at Goodwill today as well as about 4 shirts and 2 books that I lost in the fire. Small positives I suppose. Gradually getting some clothes again - I'm wearing winter shirts with the sleeves pulled up but for 1 t-shirt. Good to have some things my own style and not just stuff people gave me after the fire.
