So I saw a psychiatrist.

Anathema
I just got a prescription for 20mg a day for long lasting Adderall and apparently it is supposed to take immediate affect. I feel like I can actually focus in class without constantly re-tracking myself. It's only the first day too which is amazing. People said I am acting different today because I am not talking as much as well as not saying stupid things. Hopefully people see this in pF as well (mainly because more than a few people think I can be a fool a lot.).
I guess I can become a different person easier now.

    It was different from me compared to others because I took two separate routes. One was educational psychologist who did an IQ test and similar stuff. The other route was going to the doctor and getting evaluated for it. The thing about the doctor is he thought I was depressed because I couldn't do the following: sleep well, eat well, stuff like that. I did not have depression so I showed the doctor my educational psychologist's evaluation which indeed indicated I had ADD. It took me a total of four months. If I did not take the educational route it would have been longer.

    Proceed with caution. I'm glad you're doing well though.

    @Kyle I intend on doing that, but at the same time when I look at myself now I notice small things I can fix that makes me overall different. For example, when I say and do stupid things I don't think about whats wrong with it until after I actually preform the action. Some great examples are when I ticked you off with things I thought would be funny, but just were annoying overall. Even though this is the second day, I am catching myself from saying certain things that never turn out well. All I really wanted to say is I'm taking the steps to overall improve my behavior.

    Change can be good. However, don't focus on changing yourself. Instead flow with it and see where you land.
