seriously, that EMERGENCY feeling is all over this forum. we are people who can get easily frustrated, hate waiting, and can’t control where our thoughts go.. (generalizations of course). in fact save yourself the searching.. this is a really really really common reflex.

adjusting to the meds is kind of weird. To me, I didn’t really feel different and wasn’t sure they were even working. then subtly, I noticed that I was able to do things which I could not do before… like cleaning.. pulling myself away from the computer.. useful thinking versus a constant jumble which accomplishes nothing but made me anxious.. have a conversation in which the other person does not need to clarify or have me start over from the beginning in confusion.. but I had to start learning how to harness this extra organization and internal motivation potential.. because it is potential, not handed to you.. nothing magical. This site has helped me a lot to figure out the steps that I needed to take to start changing my life. not a linear process by any means. the last few weeks for me were an almost total backslide. frustrating.

i hate phone communication >_<. It is already difficult to hold a train of thought. on the phone, there is no guidepost. in life, we can look at the other person’s experience to see if he/she is still with us or confused. with the meds, I am now capable of a coherent phone conversation. not terrific, but functional.

I think the lady was still probably snotty =P maybe he rightfully did not care enough to notice.
