All kidding aside, I am glad that the meds work for you. I have a friend who goes a mile a minute and it is tiring to keep up with her.

For those of us who do not have to deal with such a disruptive thought pattern, it is hard to envision what your life must be like.
Surprised that you settled on quilting as a hobby because quilting - by definition - requires a lot of attention.
Before meds...I described the inside of my head like a traffic jam, and no one could understand me for very long.
I either talked way too fast or got the sentences out of sequence.
I was a mess!
I was dx'd with adhd at age 44, and started quilting at age 47-48.
I really don't think I could have done it before.
I did sew garments but quilting does take a lot of attention.
I just love it though, and now I am able...woo hoo!:mrgreen:
