My energy has been incredible. I'm thinking more clearly. I am getting tasks done. I am not falling asleep. The first day, I was alone in my office because my boss is out of town, and I took an hour out of my day and rearranged the entire floor-to-ceiling bookcase. I threw out old stuff we no longer needed, organized all the books into categories, labeled each shelf, and was able to make lots of room for stacks of books sitting on both my desk and my bosses. Gawd, it's so embarrassing to me that I did this the day I go back on the meds.

Hi sunrise your post got me to reflecting about time to do a task.
I am trying to focus on renovating my bathroom . Its taking days . I get caught up in hyperfocus . like scrapping off the glue and old flooring .
then I walk out into the apartment where everythings placed in an already small crammed place and I look around I start to get that overwhelmed feeling the beat myself up and on and on.
I really do need to accept where I am but this comparing myself to others who don't have a brain like mine just isn't helping. I just wish I had the diagnosis so I could just grieve lost time for it not getting caught earlie and move on. I did make a move to see an eye doctor last week so Im hoping this motivates me to get my finacial screening done and then I can inquire at The university about the ADHD possibility . Im just scared to try again. Ive been through some pretty biased therapists about what all is wrong with me none of them even considered ADHD , but hello.. IM still struggling majorly. I'm needing to shake some poeple who keep putting me back in the box in my life as well.
