@TAB and @Glisten I need to talk about potential ADHD with pdoc during next appointment. My brain is fried for tonight. I am only getting through the day with caffeinated drinks, but at night I just have to let my disorganised thoughts take over, can’t sleep with caffeine in my system. Also too much caffeine makes me agitated and triggers migraines, but in moderation helps me feel better emotionally and physically

@SmilingGecko sounds like a productive day. I managed to take a shower, do some laundry today and do nothing really. I have been feeling rather burnt out. But satisfied with what I achieved today. It’s been hectic for a while

..was actually thinking cayenne pepper more than chili but yeah @SmilingGecko 

neighbours right down the back fence like 35 metres away out of control yelling and setting fire to their backyard, horrible kids making constant noise.. will get screen up some time soon  so at least cannot see each other even if have to hear these idiots. think there ar elike 12 people living in one house  theres a caravan in backyard plus usually at least 3 cars there

@TAB I can’t function with no caffeine in my system. I need it for my migraine pain too, caffeine works better than painkillers, at least the ones I’ve tried. I do end up in a shit hole at night though, but that’s just my life. I also have bipolar, so I’m not even sure taking stimulants would be okay for my body. I’ll wait and see what my pdoc says, still need to be assessed. My psych reckons I have enough symptoms on screening

@creative_writer I was diagnosed with ADHD 22 years ago. Medication was the best thing that ever happened.
At first I didn’t sleep, but then my body adjusted.
