It’s been a good week so far. I like my job and I’m happy to be receiving a paycheck.
I feel “levelled out” now, I am used to the Ritalin and not having such extreme mood swings. My mood swings were mainly triggered by the conditions at my husband’s house, and as long as I choose [...]

Today I didn’t take my Ritalin, and I spent a good part of the day sleeping. I feel very tired.
But today I felt a very intense love for my husband while I was with him. It was magical, like when we first started dating. It’s this “high” feeling I get when I am with him. [...]

I’ve already been promoted to another position at work and I start next week. It turned out the girl who had been hired for that position quit (the one with bipolar disorder that I mentioned). She didn’t show up to her fourth day of training. I asked them to consider me for that position and [...]

Ritalin isn’t as good as Concerta. I’m on extended release, but it’s still wearing off after about 5 hours and then I feel tired again. I am thinking of splitting it in half, taking one half in the morning and one at noon like my son does with his Adderoll.
Still annoyed with husband. We talked [...]

I had to switch to Ritalin because I couldn’t afford to continue to take Concerta. I don’t think I can afford Ritalin either, because the prescription cost $36.00. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a lot for me since I’m not working yet.
I’m on 20 mg and I feel quite nervous right [...]
