I’m not sure why, but sometimes just sitting at the kitchen table feels better. Even though I do very much love my new office setting.

Currently I am working my way through the rest of the online training for the volunteer job that I want to do. Thankfully it’s all counselling/psychology related so it plays into my studies.

I have done something different today however, and that is, I took my morning pills when I got up at 8.30am, but decided that since I still feel so exhausted for most of the day, I took a second dexamfetamine an hour later at approximately 9.30am.

If you have read any of my other blogs, you might be aware that I am prescribed three dexamfetamine pills a day. Taking three throughout the course of the day at separate intervals, causes me to become somewhat wired. Yet, when I take only one in the morning when I wake up, and another no later than 1pm, I spend so many hours during the day, drinking coffee, trying to wake up and focus. Only to leave me with heaps of energy at night.

So, today, I am testing out how taking two in the morning and then another at 1pm affects me. It’s 10.12am and I already feel more awake since taking the second one. It will be interesting to see how I feel after lunch and third pill.

Thankfully I have my next psychiatrist appointment next Thursday the 17th March, so I can discuss with him how the medication is affecting me. I also want to know the difference between taking dexamfetamine and taking ritalin. I was started on dexamfetamine due to having hypersomnia, which is why when I was diagnosed with ADHD, the psychiatrist keep me on them but increased the dosage.

I was in bed, lights out, by 9.15pm last night and slept until I woke naturally at 8.30am. So a decent amount of sleep, even though they were fill of strange, somewhat boarding on nightmare dreams.

Anyway, I have watched my videos from last night back and am really happy with my ‘Learning with Liv’ videos. I will definitely be recording myself while studying from here on out. Watching them backbis helping me remember as well as learning better ways to do things. These learning videos will evolve as I do.

It’s time to get back to my online training now. I heard from the founder of the volunteer company last night so I really want to get this finished so I can organise a time to have a proper interview. Be nice if I could do that this afternoon. But might be next week given the short notice. But I’ll obviously update as I go.

Plus I need to have a shower and wash my hair. I’m currently still in my pjs and dressing gown, and want to finish what I’m doing before going to have a shower.
