   I honestly never dreamed my life would go in the direction of having to manage the duality of being a functional adult who can do adult things in the daytime and is sensible and all that stuff, and a chaos goblin by the evening.

   The transition I saw coming from a long time before, if I’m being honest. But while neurodivergence was always obvious to anyone who met me, finally getting the actual answer and following it through to Planet Amphetamine and all that implies has blindsided me a bit.

   These drugs are very very weird to be on.

   But they may have saved my life.

     @Buster I’m using the mornings for housework and yes, agreed on exercise. Need a bit of that. Executive function lasting into the afternoon helps me get stuff done with my business.

     @goatsarah honestly I’ve found the best way to work is to divide the day up and build around high priority boring tasks in the morning, a mid afternoon exercise session (3:30-4:30 if I’m not walking the dog I’m sat at my desk being distracted and achieving nothing, so why not step away?) and then having a second push with more mellow/simple tasks 4:30-6ish.
     The mix of mental and physical effort has to conform to the ebbs and flows of my brain juice.

     @goatsarah I'm glad the drugs are so helpful, I know there's huge variation in how helpful they can be, but so positive at such an early stage. Hope your titration/jibbling continue to go well and you get an optimal configuration for you.
