Am not feeling overly emotional, JamesM, but I can certainly relate to the increased communication part of what you’ve said. My thoughts and memories are more accessable after weeks of taking medication.
My daughter (17) was diagnosed w/ ADD in November about 10 days before I was (reading up on ADD to learn about her condition was an Ah-ha moment for me). While we’ve always communicated well, when it came to answers to her questions about my childhood or family, I didn’t have much to give. The answers were short not because I didn’t want to talk but rather I just didn’t have thoughts to express.
We’ve both been taking medication for a month+ now and we’re chatting up a storm in a very spontaneous and pleasing way. Talks include my childhood and growing up, answers to questions she has about her childhood and her dad (my ex), a variety of concepts and ideas that we are interested in and usually don’t chat with each other about, and more. It’s quite wonderful to remember things about my life that my daughter has an interest in hearing about and then being able to communicate them.
Life is sweet.
