ADHD

Hi friends! I'm always struggling with to much energy and I don't mean to but I cut my mom off on the phone. I just feel terrible. I've got Drs appt on the 10th thankfully so I can get Ritalin. I've taken one before and it helped. Hoping to get ativan to for anxiety and for sleep. Staying positive that the meds will help! Have a great weekend everyone😀😎

Lol. So my wife, mother, and best friend are the 3 I cut off the most when we are talking. Usually it turns out like this, I’ll call them, ask them how their day is, they will talk for a minute or so and ask me about my day, then I’ll hyperactively talk about the thoughts in my head for the next half hour until they need to go. I do that even on Vyvanse. I think it comes with extroversion .

Ok so I'm not alone with this!! Lol. I do exactly the same thing. If she talks I get impatient and tell her I already what shes going to say. And then continue to talk about my pathetic life. I hope that med will help chill me out. I can only listen to her a few seconds before tuning her out! How awful! Thanks for your message😀😎

I tend to do this with anyone I feel really comfortable talking to, even if I don’t know them well.

My whole life I’ve been “stimulation chasing” and unfortunately, normal day to day conversations got boring for me many years ago. It’s unfortunate because as much as I want to be able to be a better listener, when the moment comes to try, I just can’t seem to do it.

I feel that way to. When I try to be quiet and listen I can never get there. I will keep on trying until the 10th. Dr said he'll give me a stimulant. Thank God. Like you said normal conversations are boring to me too! Lol.

What I find happens to me is while other people are talking I’ll think of something I want to say but by the time they pause long enough for me to say it, the comment is irrelevant. I’m working on waiting and then tying my comment back to the previous subject, but i still tend to interrupt people sometimes.

Yea I totally understand. I can't deal with anymore. I work with the elderly and the ADHD and anxiety makes me super nervous and way to hyper. I get to the point that I make mistakes while caring for them. I just can't go back to working if its like this. That's why on the 10th I'm hoping to get Ritalin and hoping to get ativan.
