I've run out of the medication I need to function and it was the last repeat.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Have tried ringing the private hospital where my doctor works from but they can only send him a message.
Fuck.
If you've a regular pharmacist I've heard they can prescribe you a few days worth to tide you over until the doc sorts a repeat out.
I tried that but because it's a stimulant there's really tight regulations around it.
Hi fellow ADHD person, you'll be fine it'll just be a bad day, it's not the end of the world. Coffee can help, but I know you'll need insane quantities to make that work and it'll write off your Monday. So today can be just a "nothing" day for you, go do your hyper focus pleasurable activities / have fun, and you must sort the meds first thing tomorrow.
That's actually quite reassuring. I sorted it out but I have to say, I really wish there was some kind of cure for this. I'd take it in an instant.
Last time I ran out, I think about 2 years ago, I ended up sleeping for about 12 hours lol.
Lol @ 12 hours sleep, this isn't one upping it's just sharing a story: I once went to sleep (not bed) at 2:30-ish AM after being awake for a ridiculous number of hours and woke up and was super confused at it being 1am. I thought the clocks had gone back haha. Those missed calls and msgs... Priceless memories lol.
Glad you got your meds sorted but I'm intrigued that you would take a cure if one was available. I wouldn't as I think people wired like us can accidentally change the world π
But oh shit, I haven't finished the job I started outside and there's a box cutter sitting there. Should probably sort the groceries first though yah? When did I last pee? Ooo just had an amazing tech idea I should start! Feck, plants need watering. Yay, I did the recycling at some point. I should probably play a computer game. Why is my computer already on?
