Directions!? Does anyone else get lost everywhere they go? No sense of direction whatsoever, even on journeys I've done 100's of times! One of the reasons I'm still sometimes late despite now being on medication and finding time-keeping much easier! Not everywhere, but 'the scenic route' is a very familiar concept! I do tend to build up an internal map, eventually, but it's not so good on motorways. I really hate getting lost on motorways. Also, knowing where you are, and remembering where you're going, are two different things!

Haha! Oh yeah getting lost on the motorway is horrendous! I don't think I will ever experience that 'internal map' lol it's something I can live with, thank god for google maps.
I've just remembered my first day of secondary school I got lost and got myself in such a state that I got sent home at lunch time!

Has anyone else had to monitor their heart rate? Every time the nurse has taken it its been over 100bmp even before medication! But it has gone up as the dose has been increased. I do think theres an element of nerves for apps because its rarely that high when I take it myself! So ... they said to decrease meds from 60mg to 50mg, dont take it at the weekend and then I have to take my HR before meds, then an hour after second dose, 4 hours after last dose. Ive upgraded the HR app on my phone so all the measurements are saved and I've just spent the last hour (far too long faffing about with it) creating a table to log them all properly at the end of the day/week So with all that sorted I now just need to remember these different dose/HR times - I've set a loadddd of reminders but already messed up this morn as I took the first dose late arghhh. Lets see how this week goes hahaha! Not sure how I feel about the weekend breaks tbh! I quite like not being constantly restless and able to think more clearly, regardless of what things I need to do/have planned.. but I have lost quite a bit of weight so will be a good opportunity to stuff my face and try and put a bit of weight back on or at least maintain what I am now. Does anyone else have a break at the weekend?

Back down to 30mg ... HR too high and lost another half a stone despite my appetite being fine for the last 6 weeks. Such a shame, was the right dose mentally but too much physically, I'm only 5'4 and 50kg.
Had an ECG last week at the docs.. HR was all over, between 70-108 over the 15s reading. Ive been asked to make an appt to discuss results now they've been properly analysed (can't tell me over the phone). They also rang to say I need a blood test, 24 hour monitor and referral to cardiology.
So all in all not great but trying to make the best of the 30mg. I've found it so difficult to focus today and I've come home exhausted. I can't remember anything from either of the lectures. It's frustrating, but I'm trying to keep positive.
I only have 3 and a half weeks left of uni before starting placement until October. I've started the mentoring which looks promising and I've started back at the gym (after packing it in for 4 weeks to try and gain some weight) which helps me to de-stress!
I like placement, it takes me a few weeks to get into a routine with it but once I'm settled I love it. I feel I can be myself and the ADHD doesn't stand out as much as it does at uni, because it's so practical - my energy can be properly channelled. I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb when I'm in a classroom, i was back to my fidgety, restless self today which Im conscious about because I don't want to get on anyones nerves.

Good luck with the doctor's stuff. I hope you don' thave to wait too long to get things sorted. It's not impossible that you may find there's another medication that suits you better, that you can tolerate physically and mentally. Hopefully your specialist can get you sorted without too many hiccups. Never dull, is it?

Post by smogz101 on Apr 27, 2016 19:22:47 GMT
thanks contrarymary .. its certainly isn't ever dull! Doc rang today and said my ECG was normal! Which I'm relieved about. He still wants to go ahead with the other tests to try and get to the bottom of it. If it went up and down with anxieties at least i'd have a reason for it. Its more the fact I can be lying in bed falling asleep and it will suddenly race - freaks me out a bit. Had mentoring again today, it's actually really helpful.. I wish id sorted it sooner! Working on managing stress and getting into a good routine in the mornings. It's made me think a lot. At the moment I don't actually deal with stress very well... it builds up and up until I explode. Which is kind of what happened at the weekend. Placement induction tomorrow - I have a list of things to tick off in the morning to make sure I don't forget anything important. I've half packed my bag already and need to iron my top .. I'm gonna try get an early night too. Everything I've done this week has felt 10x harder, like those dreams where your trying to run fast but you can't? Like I know what I want and how to get there, but the process is so much slower. Roll on the weekend, going to stuff my face with as much pizza as I can. Im dying for a few drinks with my friends but know fine well I'm not in the best place at the moment and me, stress and drinking in moderation don't really mix. I haven't really considered other medications, I don't like the look of Straterra which Im thinking is the only non-stimulant?

i love the sound of a mentor - genius idea to get stuff ready the night before so you can hit the ground running.
always works for me - not that i do it as often or as fully as i should, and then wonder why i struggle not to be late, and rush out feeling chaotic.
i think the secret of a good day is to start it *ahead* and have extra time first thing, then it doesn't feel as tho the first hting going wrong is going to kill me because i'm already running way beyond full stretch.
i was thinking that today - the difference between a good day and a bad is one where there is the space between action and reaction - a chance to breathe and not react to everything, which comes from being better rested, better prepared, and able to practice self- compassion.
(i've just come back to morning/evening short meditation after a week or so off, and it's revolutionary. don't know how i survived without it. i;m so far from my best self when exhausted and runningn empty. and i think that NTs feel like that all the time, without having to put in all that effort.)
ok. going to stop rambling now. but well done, good luck, look forward to that pizza - delayed gratification and all that - you'll have earned it!

Haha, it did help a lot! I was still rushing about but at least I could just grab my bag knowing everything was in there. Meditation sounds interesting - I might have a look into whether there are any classes round here. I find it so difficult to relax so I'm willing to give anything a try at the moment ... I'm hoping the weather warms up a bit so I can get out on the bike too over the weekend. Today went pretty well! Only one embarrassing moment where I got lost and ended up at the opposite end of the building to where I was meant to be (surprise surprise)... but other than that, I think I made a good impression (although I'm massively over-analysing the day) but I think thats pretty standard.... Im looking forward to getting stuck in properly. For now though I'm switching off from everything uni/work related. I'll probably regret it on Monday morning but I need to refuel and pull myself together! Increased pressure + decreased meds = Major wobbles But I will get back on track!

glad you had a good day - well done! i've really got into using the online meditation courses from wildmind - designed for complete beginners up to advanced meditators, they run a different course or two starting on the 1st of every month via an email a day with a new guided meditation every few days. funded by donation with a suggested sliding scale, & I use them over & over. wildmind is run by a scottish buddhist who lives in Seattle, Washingto, who teaches meditation at universities, writes books etc. altho it's buddhist it's not at all evangelical or anything, they're just trying to help people learn meditation so that we live more happily/gently. one of the lovely forum peeps posted about it in january 2015, i've been using it ever since. it's been Seriously Revolutionary for me. sometimes i think i'm touching on how people feel on meds, or how NTs might feel. 10/10 cm recommends.

Hi kvsm , thanks i'll take a look at them, willing to give anything a go at the moment! I need to put at least a stone back on, but can't even maintain at the moment and I'm eating loads! Also, welcome to the forum! It's been a life saver for me, as you can see everyones really helpful and full of advice

cheese on toast i ate v little else during/after a really nasty virus in february and put on a stone. talking to a friend yesterday discovered that she'd developed the same habit after a bereavement, with exactly the same results. thus it seems that if you add cheese on toast to your diet you may put on a stone? (not a double-blind placebo-controlled trial or anything, but mebbe worth a punt)

contrarymary it's funny you should say that because thats exactly what I had for lunch ... well cheese and ham toastie but still! Today I've had a banana, oatcakes, baby bell, toasty, chicken breast with stuffed pepper (cous cous) with melted cheese. Ive been having handfuls of fruit and nut here and there too. Ive also bought those complan sachets. I hate milk though which would have upped the calories. So bought almond milk which I can just about get away with! I've noticed the only times my HR has gone high these last few days is when I've had white carbs. Last week was worse, I had 2 funny moments where I felt really lightheaded, racing heart and then a bit panicky ... I told the nurse on monday and she said she thinks its med related but I've just thought, it happened half hour after eating a bagel - both times. Yesterday had no carbs, was fine.. had pizza on the night and felt funny again. Might just be a coincidence but I wonder if these wobbles are down to blood sugars rather than the meds. I suppose the blood tests will shed some light! This weekend I've completely re-charged my batteries and feel so much better for it... I did cave and bought some lagers on friday because I was still having my 'f*&* it' moment ..... but they're still sitting in the cupboard, untouched Im off tomorrow as my class all have mock interviews with the uni tutors .. I've been let off mine, I think they can see I'm struggling and wouldn't ask for help if i didn't need it, I've never asked for an extension or anything before so I did feel quite ashamed about it all last week which probably didn't help my already shit mood. So I can actually use tomorrow to try and catch up!

just got a letter charging me 108 pound fine as I didn't pay for my prescription in Feb as I thought my hc2 certificate was still in date! (I'd forgot to renew It in Jan) I rang up and explained the situation and that circumstances havnt changed, I had a valid certificate Jan 2015-Jan 2016 and then March 2016 to now - literally a simple mistake I made not realising it was out of date but they're refusing to budge on the fines.
So after being polite to begin with I ended up telling them to do one, I'm not paying it.. I don't even have 100 quid in the bank! Probably not a good move but I was so pissed off at their lack of empathy - they can clearly see on their records it's a genuine mistake, not fraudulent but they wouldn't budge.
ugh. I know it's my fault it wasn't renewed and should probably just suck it up and pay but it's just so much money for a simple mistake, I'm so angry with myself!

bums i wonder if it might be worth asking for reasonable adjustments, as the ability to recollect details & pay etc is diredtly related to the condition for which you are being medicated? you could offer to provide medical evidence. it may be that it's one of those b&w things for which there is no wiggle room and it's a simply a matter of fact. but it might be worth trying on the basis that all services provided to the public are supposed to adhere to equality duty, inc the need to make adjustments..?

Thanks contrarymary ... its worth a try isn't it, I think I will write them a letter though rather than ringing up because I get too wound up on the phone. I have a mentoring session tomorrow too, so he might be able to help me word the letter properly. I dont want to seem like I'm using ADHD as an excuse, but the bottom line is it is harder for us to remember stuff like this, or it is with me anyway. Last year I was driving about with no MOT or insurance for 2 months before I realised, as I was trying to renew the tax for my car. Id have lost my license if Id been stopped by the police so very lucky for me that didn't happen! Will things ever get easier!

just as well i have such good lecturers! Have to come up with a small scale project for our placement that starts on Monday. She wanted a few ideas. I practically had a business plan... with loads of projects - all relevant and backed up with evidence but far too big for a 3 week stint... which i suddenly realised as I was taking her through my plans, but was just so in the flow on Saturday, complete hyper focus! So we've now broken one of the projects into lots of little plans that I'm going to do, i was trying to do it on my own but was really struggling with it, does anyone else struggle with the fine details/prioritising? I mean, its brilliant to be creative but I sometimes get lost in my own thoughts and idea's that I lose focus of what I'm actually there to do and how much is realistic to get done! She said "NO MORE IDEAS" .. I had to laugh. I think I'm always going to need someone to bring me back down to earth and to say stop, think, re-focus! I just can't do it myself as I don't realise! I've been thinking about going self-employed once I qualify ... but I think i'd need a business partner, someone who's good at all the sensible things Have barely touched my to-do list (same list as 2 weeks ago) I feel like I'm stuck with it, even though there just lots of little chores to do - in fact I actually forgot to eat on Saturday, i was that engrossed in this plan! Got a mentoring session tomorrow which is always helpful, it forces me to sit and re-asses where I'm at with everything.

Positive day today despite sleeping in and having a mad rush thismorning. In my mentoring session we wrote a letter to the NHS penalty charge people explaining the mix up with my HC2, along with a copy of ADHD diagnosis and dyslexia report. I then went straight to the post office and SENT IT - this is a first for me, usually letters are hanging around on the end of my bed or in my bag for at least a week before I get them sent.
I then cashed in my cheque and went back to uni, organised my placement folder into some sort of logical order (not perfect but good attempt) and finalised my project idea along with the presentation I need to do on Monday - lots of getting side tracked and doing other bits and bobs, but it got done which is the main thing!
My appetite has been non-existant today, but I know I have to eat! So i wasted 2 pounds on mushroom soup which is usually my favourite but they had put weird spices in it, it nearly blew my head off. I hate anything spicy! Who makes spicy soup?! Bergh. I then drove home and rang the bank and and have put in an application to increase my overdraft (it's interest free)... it's only until October when I can hopefully find some part time work. I find out tomorrow whether they have given me it so fingers crossed.
Then had half hour in the garden and caught the last of the sun. I love being outside.
Scarily productive for me. Have a naggy feeling I'm forgetting something hugely important... i do have an appt with the psych on friday so maybe it's just that on my mind. I think i've cracked the habit of writing everything down so i don't forget to do things, medication has made this possible. Im still late for things and stuff, but I haven't missed any appointments since starting meds thanks to thinking that little bit more ahead, setting alarms and reminders etc.
So although my concentration is back to being non-existant at the moment, I do think the 30mg does some good - even if it is just to slow me down enough to think a bit more.

thanks contrarymary ... it went well he's put meds back up to 40mg and has no problems putting it back up to 60mg in the future if we get to the bottom of my HR .. he thinks it could be an interaction between some antibiotics I'm on (been on them years) for my skin as I used to have acne, they keep it away. So written to GP saying to swap them for something else... hopefully that will sort it, fingers crossed. In the meantime waiting on a referral to cardiology (still). He asked if I get anxious... i said I get nervous for presentations and things but not really... then he said well you look anxious now? I was a bit taken a back really because I actually felt fine! Maybe I was, but I'm comparing it to nerves .. i know what nervousness is, i get nervous for presentations, driving somewhere new, exams, flying. I recognise they're nerves and I get butterflies, shake, fast HR. It's not a pleasant feeling and always get a sense of relief once its done. So is that nerves or is that anxiety? Then he said ahhh so you keep fit, go to the gym etc then ... So I told him yes but not the last 2/3 months. He was surprised and asked why I stopped, like it was some bizarre thing to have done!? Ive lost 2 stone and don't want to lose any more - I miss the gym loads but currently resemble a stick so thought I was doing the sensible thing. But he said to start going again so i wont argue with that! He also prescribed me 2 months worth of complan shakes and let me pick the flavour, what a legend. I dunno, I found him a bit odd, but pleasant enough I suppose. Just some of the things he said... like why isn't the GP prescribing the meds... errrrr you tell me mate, your the big bosser. My HR reading was 108 but that doesnt really mean much cos it fluctuates by the hour ohhhh and one other thing .. he asked me if id always had big eyes.... something to do with hyperthyroidism (which id already pointed out my thyroid tests were normal) :') I was like... what? wtf lmao! I had no idea my eyes were 'big'. Awkwarrrrrd! He's probs a very knowledgable guy, but just didn't fill me with much confidence today hahaha.

Glad it went well overall H!
I'm not sure of the difference between nervousness and anxiety. . .I'm generally quite laid back. . .I get nervous sometimes, and anxious, even, in certain situations. . . I would have said that I'm not generally an anxious person. . .BUT the MH professionals that I've had contact with recently seem to think that my nerves and worries are anxiety. . .I don't know. . .maybe I'm more anxious than I thought? or maybe anxiety is the *thing* to have at the moment. . .

Thanks vagueandrandomIt's confusing isn't it! Thats the thing.. I was always under the impression anxiety was quite a constant feeling of worry, and not necessarily a reaction to a specific event? - which is certainly not me. I get nervous (sometimes realllllly shaky nervous) for certain situations, then once they're done I'm okay again. My driving test - My legs were shaking so much, I could barely control the clutch :') I've never been in a situation where the nerves were so bad I couldn't go through with the task... I make sure I always push myself through it rather than avoid it, the worst thing I think I've done is be a witness in court... that was pretty horrendous, but I did it. I suppose there are times where I have periods of worry. Like a few weeks ago it just felt like everything was going wrong! But again, that was my natural reaction to a lot of quite stressful situations. Anyway, I'm sure i'll get to the bottom of it... cardiology appointment came through today for 3 weeks time. Things are busy, but manageable busy so it's all good.

Since stopping the antibiotics my HR has been soooo much better! I can't believe it might have been down to them all this time and the GP didn't pick up on it. Got a 24 hour ECG on Tuesday, so hoping if that comes back clear they might let me back up to 60mg. 40mg isnt working great, im having to take the first dose at 7 if I have any hope of getting out the door and to placement on time, which means by 7pm ive had my full 40mg. Taking 10mg at a time is making me feel quite tired. On the weekend I take 15, 15 10 which is better. However, the fact I can tell a difference with getting out the door on time must mean they are doing something! Sleep has been difficult during the week (as the meds have all worn off) takes me a while to get to sleep. Placement is going well though, finish at the end of next week and i'm on track to pass and then I have a whole week off 9 days and counting!

offered last week to meet with external examiners at the uni tomorrow seen as I was the only one not traveling back home for the week (I'm one of the few localies on the course), plus uni have done loads for me support wise so felt I should probably make an effort anyway.... only I forgot to ask: 1: What time 2: Where I need to be 2 fundamental details I could have done with knowing, right there. I emailed my lecturer today - no reply. So looks like i'll be going in for 9am and hoping for the best! I do try

Post by smogz101 on Jun 29, 2016 21:00:42 GMT
So i found my way to that meeting! Turned up an hour earlier, but better than an hour late i suppose! I also passed placement with flying colours! I loved it, and felt like I fit in for the first time, maybe because it was so unpredictable kept me on my toes I was in a school for pupils with SEN, most of which had ADHD - shame its the shortest placement we do. However I'm now straight into final placement, which is entirely different from everything I've done so far. Im in a hospital setting, for the next 3 months. It's really interesting, and the team I'm with are lovely... but theres so much to learn, and i feel like I've been bombarded with information and that I haven't had time to process one thing before moving onto having to know about some other procedure or policy - and I'm only on day 3!? Im writing everything I can down so I don't have to keep asking for instructions to be repeated. And I've managed to keep my folder organised. They know about my ADHD (had to tell them as needed to store meds safely) and dyslexia. It doesn't help that everything has to be handwritten, there are reams of paperwork - it's taking me ages to word things properly, and i just feel embarrassed and stupid - I haven't had to show anyone anything handwritten since school! And those feeling of shame have not changed. ADHD wise - we were standing looking through notes for a good 20 minutes at one point today, on a hot, busy, noisy ward... and I was trying so hard to keep standing still and focus, that it made me feel dizzy! Even at uni Im able to get up and take 5 minutes out throughout the lectures, but here I can't really do that and it's making me feel a bit trapped. I know everyone goes through this when starting anywhere new, it's just it feels like I have a mountain to climb .. and I'm really finding it hard to think positive. I just feel like I'm sticking out like a sore thumb, I'm probably not, but can't shake off these feelings. I know that in the long run, the amount of structure/paperwork stuff will probably make it easier for me to keep on task, I just need to get over these initial hurdles of learning all this information, whilst remembering new names, faces and finding my way around a huge hospital!

Bless you, I hope you get better results in the future. You're braver then me, I'd not even be able to stand up to a Dr (I can stand up if it's about my OH or kids, but not about me lol) so good on you. I really hope your Dr learns how to be more understanding and listen more, I often say the Drs need to learn how to listen to their patient's more.

Hi H! As you know, the ignorance and arrogance of Drs is a problem for me too atm. . . As it happens, I've been looking on the GMC and Royal College of Psychiatrists websites this morning a Psychiatrist is trained as a medical doctor first, before specialising (not the case for psychologists who are academically trained) so your GP is wrong to think that they don't know about physical problems. I found out that my Consultant Psychiatrist is not on the specialist register with GMC (although he may be exempt if he was already a consultant when he registered in the UK in 1996 . .the cut-off is 1997) he was registered, but without a licence to practice between 2005 and 2009 . . why? He is also an Affiliate member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, which is 'a psychiatrist working in the UK or Ireland who is not in a training post or a consultant post' . . .but he's working as a consultant. . . I don't know what to do with this information. . . anyway. . .off on a tangent again! . . I was wondering. . .are you're hypermobile? (double jointed) . . I am and it's a recognised comorbidity of ADHD. . .medically, ehlers-danlos syndrome (eds) is too much collagen throughout the body and it can affect your heart valves. . .you said that you've always had an irregular heartbeat. . . if you want more info, just ask. . , Glad to hear that you're happier and getting on.
