My ADHD-blog

How I feel

VERY, VERY frustrated!

Yes Strattera works, because I don't have this hunted and rush feelings anymore.
But it's not enough!
The irritation feelings are still very strong present.
And not just some days, it feels lately almost daily.
How do I know?
Well be around me for 24 hours and you know, ask my wife.
Really I can joke about it but it's so frustrated!
Today for example, we where in a supermarket.
My wife was already standing in a line to pay the stuff we did buy.
A man came and stood behind her in the line.
Then I came and sad: excuse me, to the man and passed him.
So far so good, but then he told me he was first.
I told him in Swedish, that's where I live, that I was with her, the woman in front of him.
He probably didn't understand my Swedish and took me by my arm
and try to push me back.
I exploded and told him clearly , well loud is a better word, to get lost.
The problem was only that I sad it in Dutch, but he understood that he made me VERY angry.
Right away he went to another line and waited there instead for his turn.
Luckily, because the security guard also cam to check out what the problem was.
But he was not needed.

It's such a stupid moment, that I felt right away so bad about.
Most of all because I embarrassed my wife in front of others.
And it happens so many times.
I get so tired and frustrated with myself.
There is nothing worse then hurting the ones you love!
I don't know what to do anymore.
I do know that something has to change.

Complains/side effects.

The same as the last days.
The exploding and irritating feelings are part of the ADHD.
That's not a complain caused by Strattera.

ADHD effects

Also the same as written before.
Nothing new, so why repeat right?

It's late and I got to get up early, so I better stop and get some sleep.

How I feel

Well ok, but today the tiredness was extreme bad again.
On the end of my shift, I work a 12 hours shift, I was so tired that I had to get a short nap ( sleep)
It's only 15 minutes driving to my home, but I was really totally wasted.
And it's not because of the work itself.
Because I'm driving around in the car the whole day.
So no physical job.

Complains/Side effects

The same as always, but more tiredness today.

Also the same as before, I have not so much time today so I'll keep it short.

Hi every one,

I'm writing this blog now for almost a month.
I can't complain about the attention.
Because In the first 3 weeks I already got more then 500 visitors!
And more then 1500 times are my pages read.
That's fantastic!

But I really would like to ask you all to also respond!
Do you recognize anything?
Do you like what you read?
Do you think it's a waste of time?
Maybe you would just like to encourage me?
Are you a doctor or nurse?
Are you having the same problems?

PLEASE WRITE! RESPOND! I want to know what you as a reader think!
You can do it in my guestbook, or you can leave a comment in the blog!

I'm looking forward to your respons!
