So I'm slowly winding down for the night. I'm so wound up from working late, having a test today (that did not go nearly as smoothly as I had hoped/felt I was prepared for), and the meds. The adderall, while having amazing weight-loss effects, just really tends to hype me up and make me kinda grumpy. So, in a few weeks I'll be seeing my dr again ( Read more... )

I know I haven't updated in forever. It is because I've been busy, but that's not really an excuse for not taking 5 or 10 minutes to write things down. But to be honest, I think I'm finally getting my medication regimen worked out, and, well, I'm focused. I no longer look for ways to distract myself so I can put off facing the massive piles of ( Read more... )

Having my parents here last week was nice. It wasn't a long enough break, but it was a start on decompression. Now I don't really have any time to breathe, as class starts Tuesday and I will need to have data for a grant due by Oct. 16 ( Read more... )

Seven months and a couple thousand dollars later, I have finally been diagnosed with ADHD.

My testing actually ended up lasting all day. I am incredibly fried. Some of it went fine. Some of it wasn't even that bad. Some of it was really, really hard though, and I'm not sure if it's because the problems are just, in general, difficult, or what. I guess I'll find out in two weeks, when I have my evaluation appointment ( Read more... )

Yesterday makes it officially one year at my apt in NC. Somehow I have yet to fully unpack everything, but that will definitely be done this weekend. I need my place super clean for when my parents come next Thursday ( Read more... )

This day, last year, I was drunk in a bar after a good night of dinner and drinks, saying goodbye to all my friends in Madison ( Read more... )

Today I had a traumatizing encounter with a cockroach in the bathroom. It was big. Like, 1 1/2 - 2 inches big ( Read more... )

So, after a bit of drama, I ended up seeing my dr. on Friday. There was this whole thing where they canceled on me two days before my appt (thanks a lot guys), which is the second time they've done this to me and I've only been there 3 times now. Needless to say I wasn't happy, called about it, bitched about it, and it all worked out ( Read more... )

For over a month now I have been working out for about an hour 4 days a week, sometimes more. I eat mostly protein and...more protein. Low sugar, smaller meals, 2-3 hours apart. I feel hungry all the time and I don't eat.

My diet hasn't changed significantly, though it's definitely more restricted now.

And I'm still gaining weight. And no, it' ( Read more... )
