[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 386088, member: 1872"] Hi Circetay, I take Adderall too. It has been a lifesaver for me. I like to stay up late too -- I simply feel better at night, more alert and alive. And I also often dread going to sleep because it means when my eyes open, it will be tomorrow. I also go on adrenaline and then crash. I think a lot of this is very ADD-ish, along with just our personal styles. I've been working on getting into a routine for about two years now, and coming along -- baby steps. Do you have any sensitivities? I do. I have auditory sensitivity (could be called auditory defensiveness) -- loud noises sound extra loud to me and can be anxiety-provoking. And I love deep pressure -- a heavy blanket, or stealing gfg13's beanbag blanket which is deliciously heavy - helps ground my body in space. Don't stay up too late! Jo P.S. I think self-care is the hardest thing in the world for many people. It's a learned skill which requires diligence, especially for women I think, because often we are taught to care for others at our own expense. And as an ADD-er, sometimes I don't notice I'm going over the edge until I'm in free-fall. Getting better at it though. [/QUOTE]
