Baymule’s Journal

I'll skip the Better Living Through Chemistry.


I'm not knocking pharmaceuticals that can help. I did take a mild antidepressant for about a year during The Change, took the edges off the mood swings.

I don’t want medication, I’d just like to know. I know I have quirks, but I like myself and my wacky ways. But for people who have struggled all their lives, it’s a revelation to find out that there is help. It only cost me 3 husbands who wanted me to act “normal” before BJ found me and thought I was perfect. LOL

@Finnie a new friend I met in jury duty told me he and his wife adopted a baby who is now 11 years old and ADHD. Caffeine affects him differently, it calms him down. An hour before bedtime he gets a cup of coffee and goes right off to sleep. It calms him down. Mountain Dew has caffeine and is also recommended to calm the brain down. You might try it. Can’t hurt.

Caffeine has never affected me... or kept me awake... I can drink Mt Dew and lay down and go right to sleep...

But I do alot better in the winter with a cup of hot cocoa and some amaretto... man, that puts me to sleep and I sleep good....

I cannot imagine having your brain going at warp speed all the time... I need physical activity and get tired enough, and then just go to sleep...

I feel for people who have some of those problems...

So this makes me think what is normal??? If you get tested and compared to normal what is it. Both genders are different and is nationality. Also the way you are raised. There is things I see in my self the is clearly my mom. Was I taught it or if I never knew her would I be the same ?? Look at kids who are adopted and how they are some times it's learned other times it's genetics. I add house numbers as I drive. If it's a 4 digit number I add them all together. Does that mean that I'm special and need to talk to some one. The more I see and the more I learn most everything is a sales pitch and or a scam. Drs are really bad with it. Sure let me diagnose you with this take this medicine oh by the way u don't know that I get $.30 of every$1.00. when you by this prescription. Or yes you need to come see me again and again and again. Just my thoughts. We all are different and surely have some medical/ mental issues. But then again what is the normal. I may not wanna be compared to the Normal people....
