OK well, first dose of Elvanse this morning, seems gentler than the Ritalin / methylphenidate. I'm more patient and chilled. Still couldn't be arsed to hoover the kitchen though! 😂
I used to start to feel strung out on methylphenidate mid afternoon, so we'll see...
Erm... My brain can't decide if this is a language barrier thing or if you are indicating that the possibility of studying is a remote one...
Meds experiences
I started taking methylphenidate recently, but went through a stressful patch and suspect it contributed to a period of bad anxiety. That's mostly better now, and the doc prescribed me vyvanse (Elvanse here in UK) instead.
Pretty terrified it will trigger anxiety again so I've not touched it. Considering just taking the odd methylphenidate here and there as it doesn't last all day.
Anyone willing to share relevant experiences? Not looking to be told what to do, I will make my own decisions... 😉
This was the only way I could get essays done when studying, get out of bed at 5 and start immediately - nothing to distract. Now I have children I have to get up at 5 every morning so I can never study again 😭
Yeah, that's the problem. We really should be housebuilding like it's the South of France and the North Pole. Sun sail sounds like a good idea, but amazing how much difference some greenery makes too.
I've started climate change proofing my home by planting shady trees on the South facing side, problem is they're all still a few centimeters tall! 😭 Just need things to stay cool for a a few more years...
There's lots you can do, I'm also planning on growing something leafy up that side of the house, upping some insulation, getting external shutters to keep the sun out... But it all takes time and money.
Worst thing you can do is install aircon but I fear that's the direction this crazy country will go in...
