Today's been much better! I started Vyvanse today and it went pretty dang well. The dehydration is still present, but less pronounced, and I think I know how to deal with it better as well, which helps. I did notice the medication messing with my appetite a bit but it wasn't too bad. Having a clear brain made me realize how tired I was, though! I'm going to turn the computer off after I finish this post (and check my e-mail one last time, of course) and watch some YouTube in bed on my iPad, and probably go to bed pretty dang early and get a lot of sleep!!

I also got a heck of a lot done this afternoon. I still had the urge to get distracted every time, but I had the willpower to resist! An unexpected part of my medication journey for ADHD is that it doesn't change the way your brain works fundamentally, it moreso gives you the boost you need to get things done despite it! So it feels like I finally have my sh-t together---a lovely feeling, of course.

In other news, I went to the Wednesday night college student worship at my church tonight... and was the only one to show up besides the minister and the assistant student minister. And even the student was ten or fifteen minutes late. It was nice, though, and gave me something to do with my evening as well!

Just because I realize I haven't done an HRT update or anything in a while: I'm coming up to about a month on HRT and it's going really well! I can feel some changes beginning to happen and I'm really happy about it. :D It might help that I'm also getting into a routine of when I take the medication, so my body can expect it more consistently, etc.

That's all I can think of. Good night everyone!
