Oh, I know exactly what you mean by 'needing hours to wind down'. As you may know, I have ADHD as well and I have the same problem. I have also trouble concentrating for more than a few minutes - especially if the work doesn't exercise my mind very much. It's a bloody nuisance. I'm not on any medication anymore (haven't been since I was 14 anyway), because I wasn't able to stomach it. I literally got sick from the stuff. I usually tell myself that I don't need it anymore, but there are days when I realize that I do still need it. The trouble with this disorder is that it's not going to just go away sometime. Either you have it, or you don't.
Hopefully upping the dosage will help and things will start to look up again. And good luck with the allergies thing. Allergies suck. Thankfully I was spared from any allergies, but I have a friend who's allergic to a million of things. It really controls your life.
I am really looking forward to your fics and the essay. Good luck with it.
I love fanmixes. <3 And Jack's Mannequin rocks.
Heee. Finally, someone who loved the season premiere as much as I did. And I'm really looking forward for all the angst that is yet to come. I'm incredibly happy that they're finally dealing with some of their issues, instead of just casting them aside, like they've done in the past. I'm a huge sucker for angst, which comes naturally with being in the HP fandom, so this is just the right season for me.
