The Journey Inside My Mind

I began taking Adderall again a few months ago for ADHD, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. I also borrowed Ed Hallowell's Driven to Distraction from the public library. While at work last week, I saw a commercial about ADHD, sponsored by the folks at WebMD. That's where I spotted this great article about living with ADHD, "Tips for Living with ADHD". A lot of it is stuff I've heard before, but I tend to be reluctant to put stuff like this into practice. Repeat until I get it right.

I've mentioned in the past that I self-injure, specifically by picking at scabs on my body. One side effect of the Adderall is that it complicates these OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)-type symptoms. As a result my psychiatrist has increased the dose of Lexapro in order to further increase the amount of Seratonin.
