Re: Strattera advice please

[Anonymous]

i’ve been known to potstir and provoke for the sake of mental stimulation, but not more so while using straterra- if anything i’m more self aware and able to avoid that kinda thing happening while on it.

i did find myself yelling rather unexpectedly and a bit overenthusiastically with irritation over a silly little thing* this morning though – maybe i’m a bit more prone to my temper flaring, but i think its probably just that i’m more aware of it happening than i was before.

*silly little thing: when he’s getting ready for work and is planning to drop me off on the way, i’ll ask the boyfriend “what time do you want to leave?” he’ll respond with “whenever you’re ready”, which is clearly NOT a TIME.

2pm is a time. ‘in ten minutes’ could be considered a measure of passing time too. ‘whenever jen is ready’ doesn’t quite work in the same way.

i have absolutely no clue how he expects me to keep to any kind of organised schedual and be ready on time, when he’s basically giving me free rein to pander to my every little whim, impulse control challenge, and flight of faffing-about-fancy, contrary moment, etc.

but i DO know that he aint gonna be remotely pleased if i take him at his word, and am ready to leave 6 or so hours later, after pissing about online, doing my nails, experimenting with new hairdos, looking for a better pair of pants to wear, getting a spot of lunch, etc- and am then rather suprised to hear that he actually wanted to leave 10 minutes after i asked….

*silently fumes in exasperation, and bangs head against wall repeatedly.* FYI helpful non ADHD partners: ‘whenever’ is about as useful of a response to time related questions as ‘whatever you want to make’ is to ‘what would you like me to make you to eat for your dinner’ -type ones. IE: not remotely. we need MORE STRUCTURE than that!!!
