Rx Day 6

A day off!

I woke up at 9:30 to use the bathroom, and just stayed up because I needed to take my pill anyway, and I *didn't* feel like gouging my own eyes out. I call that a win!!

I even cleaned a little and got some laundry started --hell, I even managed to hang it out on the line, collect it, fold it, and PUT SOME AWAY.

I FOLDED A TOTAL OF THREE LOADS OF LINGERING LAUNDRY, AND PUT MOST OF IT AWAY.

IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I NEEDED TO HAVE MY LIFE THREATENED TO DO SO.

Hell, yesterday, I went through a stack of old mail, tidied my desk, and emptied my trash!

I'm still absentminded, and still distractible, but now it's easier to just *do* things.

Put away the lunch things? Okay.

Clean up dinner stuff? Sure.

Put that thing away where it actually goes? Yeah.

Brush my fucking teeth??? CAN DO!

I think my sister has the most correct assessment of Bupropion: it grinds the ADHD edges down so you can function.

It's not a magic fix-it pill, but in all reality, it feels like finding a life preserver. You're not out of the water, but you can breathe and stay above the waves a little better.

On the "for posterity" records I'm doing, I do have a little bit of a headache, but that could be from lack of water, or reading a fanfic in a dark room. I think it did start (or at least ratchet up) after I took my 2nd pill, so I'll have to keep an eye on that.
