First day of concerta

[Notebook24]

Hello!I have been to many health care providers and now I have the diagnosis of adult ADHD..and it's clear the inattentive type.

I'm starting today my concerta! The good thing is it's almost weekend so I can rest if I have any side effects!

Meanwhile,I'm trying to get some self help books about behavioral changes I need to go through!

Any suggestions?

Congratulations (I hope that it can feel that way) notebook- a diagnosis can sometimes feel like a relief to a concern that something was "off" but un said. When something is named it can really help the journey with it forward. I'd find it hard to recommend books as find them very individual but I used alot of podcasts to find *help* from meditation, discussion and people's lived experiences.Know you are not alone

Be kind to yourself

Thank you, Elvis! I dont know if it is a relieve or not! What I learned so far from my journey that it is better to manage my symptoms ,know myself very well, and of course knowing what is not normal with me would help to understand and go further in living this life as loving ,productive, and peaceful to everyone including myself.

I appreciate your suggestion/experience in using podcasts and infact I started this also.Glad to find that you have found it helpful.

Thank you
