    I’m also diagnosed inattentive type.My Psychiatrist agrees with name Sluggish Cognitive Tempo as I do. I’m taking Adderall which has brought me to life. I don’t men back to life. I mean to life for the first time. The Dopamine connects me to the Hedonic side of my personality, which had no expression. The only problem, is that it starts to wear off by the end of the day. It gives me less than 12 hours of clarity. I’m experimenting with the time I take the pill to get enough enjoyable time with my wife before reverting to my previous disagreeable personality. I had the dosage increased to get more time.

    Does this mean I can expect four years of clarity. Thank God! I never lasted more than six months in clarity and I’m 60 years old. Christmas and Adderall be praised! I’m not the man I was!

    I am posting a note to myself on my door that is titled EVA Checklist, in honour of Apollo 11. The checklist makes sure that I have everything I need before going out and getting in the car without all the things that I need, like water and car keys and house keys and the address of where I want to go. The checklist is my wife’s idea, to cut down on her exasperation. The title is mine.

    My thought for today…..actually my thought for yesterday but I got distracted by something. Anyway…As much as Astronauts are worthy of great admiration for having “The right stuff” and having the trust and confidence to control billions of dollars worth of spacecraft, an Astronaut doesn’t even go to the toilet without following a check list. Make a plan that doesn’t include crashing the ship and stick to it ’til it’s done. I hope someone out there can follow my sage advice, ’cause I sure can’t.

    Are you taking any medication for your ADD? Before I started taking my medicine I was irritated by absolutely everything. Now I can decide what I like and what I don’t. There’s no need for guilt after that.
