Re: Day 1 on Concerta

[Tiddler]

Thanks! It’s awesome isn’t it!

Okay, I’m finishing the journal for today.

It’s been 9 hours since I took the concerta and here’s how I think today has gone:

I didn’t feel any different, especially for the first couple of hours. However, as the day wore on, I became aware that I was noticing all sorts of little things that I just haven’t been aware of before, like that the skirting board needed to be cleaned but also more aware of my feelings.

I have had a quite busy day but I wasn’t frantic like I am usually when I’m trying to be productive. I just thought, ‘Oh that needs to be done’ and then I was doing it. I cleaned the living-room window for crying out loud!

I had a couple of dips when i felt tired and I would normally crash out but I just did something relaxing instead – played the piano and took a walk with the dog.

I made myself a drink and didn’t touch it. But I remembered that I didn’t drink it. I lost a book but found it again. Pretty good going I think!

I think it’s worn off now. I’m tired but relaxed, rather than exhausted. The best bit was being able to focus on what I was doing with the kids. I’ve had a really nice evening.

If my mood continues to improve the way it has been recently, I should be able to go back to work soon!
