Got my mum in helping me gutt my house. Got myself in a big mess again and can see no way out. Iv been sent downstairs because I'm hindering with my 'what if I need it' 'maybe keep it just in case' 'Oh that was only worn twice it might come in handy one day' 'what if I have another baby'. Both me and mum know none of the stuff has been looked at in over a year and if I had another baby I'd want all new stuff. Soooo. Im cast to the downstairs while my wonderful, don't know what I'd do without her mum is clearing my boys room. So there is space for the massive pile of unironed recent clothes that are heaped in the kitchen.

So from the boys room alone. Five black binbags full to cash for clothes. Got £14.30. Also three rubbish. Mums now making a start on that kitchen mass of clothes. Couldn't even call if a pile, much too big. I'm chasing mum around with a cake trying to get her to have a break. She just wants to get on. That's a mystery to me. Thatl be why she's a size 12 and I'm a size 22. Lol. My brain wants to explode, I'm so grateful but just cannot handle the upheaval, the disorganisation of organising what isn't organised.

I know this is rather muddled but then what isn't muddled about our lives. I was diagnosed about nine weeks ago. I'm obtaining a private prescription for methylphenidate as it's about the only affordable med. I'm a very big mixture of excited, hopeful (perhaps overly so), wary and terrified. I'm excited about what this medication could mean to my life and perhaps too hopeful that it will be some magic drug of sudden focus,organisation,memory and stop my impulsive eating and buying. I'm wary about the side effects, what if my body doesn't like it. And I'm terrified that it will give me a heart attack and kill me, that it will raise my blood pressure, that il get unbearable palpitations, that I discover it's no good to me and I don't have adhd after all. So many fears about it but so many hopes.

Geeze should be asleep. Iv got school n nursery. But I just can't settle in all the chaos of a house trying to become unchaosed. Iv already taken five bags to cash for clothes of kids clothes. Got seven bags of my clothes. But managed to clear massive ironing pile into mine and kids wardrobes n cupboards. Everywhere looks a bombsite. But I will get there. And the house will look nice. Hopefully in a month's time. I can sit back and say wow I love my house. Instead of hiding at mums saying I don't want to face going home.

Wow first day of meds and wow. Not what I expected. I imagined being really hyper but getting things done quickly. Instead it instilled calm into me and I did so much but in a calm manner. No rush. But I completed everything. I got so much done in two hours I'm shocked. No racing thoughts. No urge to check Facebook every two mins. No urge to eat and drink rubbish. But everything I did was done accurately. I hope I keep getting this effect with minimal side effects. So happy.

That is fantastic! It doesn't often work first time first dose, so that's brilliant.

I'm keen to know who you seen for your diagnosis and prescription as I have got no where with my GP and again all they want to do is prescribe me anti depressants and Anty anxiety tablets

I'm not sure either of you qualifies for PM rights yet (I think you need 10 posts and I'm not sure if it kicks in when you post the 11th).
I can message both sides so can be used as a conduit.
For Scotland - have your tried 'Addressing The Balance'?
They're an ADHD support group, I think I usually find them with a simple google of adhd scotland. Yes, I'm too lazy to use caps.
