hey question,
thx for your caring answer.
i _am_ obsessive about the add thing. increasingly obsessive off meds. but the obsessiveness doesn't bug me; i think it shows that i need to direct my attention otherwise. and it may be that the obsessiveness is part of getting adjusted to being off meds; for so long, my concerns were masked -- now they buzz in my face like flies, saying 'i'm here, i'm here, notice me, i was here all along.' now that i'm not so docile, hmm . . i might not need anything at all. as long as i can get used to -acting- instead of wallowing in my anxiety on life issues.
i think the true temptation of stims for me, now that i think about it, is that they may help me 'jump-start' out of a lethargic, unsuccessful period of time for me. and help me lose weight in a short period of time.
but i guess i'm worried that if i don't 'need' stims, they _will_ make my brain need them as i develop tolerance. and i don't want to be -more- obsessive; i just want to act in a healthy way to overcome procrastination.
