Got the medication and tried it today. Drumroll . . . I am pretty darn pleased. No racing heartbeat. No speeding train in my brain. No jitters. I actually felt, what’s the word, calm. This afternoon I was able to help my daughter organize her routine: piano practice, homework, then a craft. What’s even better, I never got frustrated with her or with my son’s constant interruptions. Calm. Earlier this morning, I had precisely one hour to write and guess what? I wrote. I didn’t surf Facebook nor check email, except to refer to a pdf document that an administrator in my graduate program sent me, and it was related to what I was writing.
I could get used to this.
In the mean time, my buddy Liz sent me a fascinating article on ADD and creativity from The Wall Street Journal. Enjoy!
