At some point in the last 4 months since starting ADHD meds the state I regard as normal has swapped over.

I’m currently in the post medicated state and I feel like some confused scared shadow of a person terrified of her own emotions which she doesn’t understand and bemused by the world.

This used to be who I was all the time.

That’s a lot to come to terms with.

@Negative12DollarBill The meds turn me into a competent adult for 12-14 hours a day.

They have helped more than I could have imagined possible.

I had not known that people could be like that (and it’s now becoming like THIS because I’m feeling it start to hit)

But I guess it’s like if one transitioned, but at the end of the day had to revert to what you were before. That reversion is tough.
