While I have time
I have to write what I'm writing while I have the time.For anyone without a condition that requires the use of pharmacological agents you may not understand it.You see as a boy I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder or (ADHD) for short.A Neurological disorder that makes paying attention, controlling restless, and impulsive behavior difficult. Some people would tell you it's not a very big deal but for me it very much was and still is.Doing things like reading the newspaper or writing a blog or watching a movie, mowing the lawn, having a conversation,all the stuff the average person takes for granted come 3 to 10 times as difficult for me.Without medication I probably wouldn't be writing this.I'd be surfing the net looking at useless videos on YouTube or doing other things that are a huge waste of my time. Or if I was able to sit down and start typing I'd lose my train of thought very quickly or my post would have major spelling and grammar errors. Basically I would not be able to think clearly. The on/off periods of the medication are really something where you have to get ready for it to kick in and prepare for it to leave.So I only get a few hours time if I'm lucky and then it's back to reality. The side effects and there our many some not so bad other potentially life- threatening.All this so I can get to a place where things make sense.A place where things don't feel so cluttered,A place where I feel like I actually have a fighting change at normalcy.At least though right now I've got time.
