Hi IsoM, welcome back. I have ADHD and never realized before that it may have somethig to do w/ my scattershot vocations and committments. Actually I haven't put much thought into the ADHD since the depression and personality disorders have required all my resources. But I think I need to become more strategic about the ADHD since it seems to get me in so much trouble. I can't walk from my kitchen to the bedroom w/out making 5 sidetrips along the way, I just figured I was stuck w/ being jumpy and highly distractable, but I can't stay on-task for more than 20 minutes at a time so it may be pathological. I'm going to look for some self-help books and see if they can give me some guidance.
I take provigil, 400 mg a day and it keeps me awake ( w/out it I have hypersomnolence, sleep 12-14 hours a day). No problems or side effects I know of, but I wish it made me focused and purposeful instead of this bundle of intensity. Of course I ought to factor in the 8 cups of coffee I drink every day too.Anyway, good luck w/your microbusiness endeavor, seems you found something fun and potentially rewarding. Nurturing life, sounds like a good gig.
