I totally relate with the quick strong burning emotions and very fast to get over it. It’s hard on relationships.
Now about the medication, I am new to it too.
Definitely time goes slower because now I’m aware of it . It’s nice sometimes but it does get on my nerves sometimes too. What you say about being dyslexic and your eyes jumping because of the ADD I have a student who is exactly like that . Exactly. he struggles a lot . I never did that but I did constantly read and have no idea what I was reading I did all of my homework and reading in general actually in the bathroom like sitting on the floor or sitting in the tub because there were less distractions.
Wow, I really like what you say about learning how to read people differently . that makes complete sense to me and I absolutely agree with that, I just had not put it into a full thought yet. I have always been extremely empathetic which definitely helps with my job and relating to children. Now that I’m more task oriented there’s much less reading between the lines because I’m paying attention to what’s actually going on which is what everybody else does. now you lose that innate ability to understand things that others don’t easily notice.
So yeah I definitely agree that the medication has helped my life in a lot of ways but I’ve lost some things have always been a part of me which is sad. I’m in the same boat.
