I know how you are feeling. I am notorious for taking on too much and over scheduling myself. I have so much I want to do and so little time to do it! I’m mostly pretty good at keeping track of my plans but recently I haven’t been feeling my best (due to anxiety of having so many things going on) so I had to cancel weekend plans I made with friends I hadn’t seen in a while and I felt like such a flake! It sucks, but at least you’re aware of it so you can make changes. My previous weekend was super relaxing and I have even more “me time” planned for this weekend too! Ultimately you have to listen to your body and do what’s best for you!

Girl I feel you. But most importantly…what is this retreat you’re planning?! That is one thing I’d say “yes” to in a heartbeat. Costa Rica round 2 😉

Do you take Adderall?

“Researchers have found that ADHD drugs like Adderall and Ritalin do not improve academic performance in teens who don’t have ADHD. In fact, there is no evidence that ADHD drugs improve grades even in those who do have ADHD.”

“When the researchers in that study asked parents and teachers to evaluate ADHD children’s scholastic performance before and after medication, they found that though the children’s grades stayed the same, adults believed they improved.” Even the students thought they were doing better on their tests, when they weren’t.

“Parents’ and teachers’ inclination is to mistake manageability for academic improvement.”

“Adderall side effects have included insomnia (27%), agitation (8%), anxiety (8%), dizziness (7%), depression, seizures, stroke, overstimulation, restlessness, euphoria, dyskinesia, dysphoria, tremor, headache, exacerbation of motor and phonic tics, and Tourette’s syndrome. Additional reports have included irritability, aggression, anger, logorrhea, dermatillomania and paresthesia (including formication), seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there.” Just to name a few.

In reply to Rachel.

Absolutely!!! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel that makes it SO much easier to get through it all– and then by the time we get to that light, hopefully we’ve learned not to take on QUITE so much from here on out. 🙂

I’m with you on this! I’ve been taking on quite a bit myself lately. I’m looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel!

In reply to Cassie. Ahhhh I am so glad you on that one, it's rough!!! YES for organization and trying to become as flexible as possible. :) It's really helpful, and we both need to prioritize it so we don't get stuck continuing to feel this way!

Yes, I have this huge problem of wanting to do everything and trying to commit to everything 🙁 it really exhausts he physically, mentally and emotionally until I breakdown! I would love to join you on trying to become more organized and flexible with myself!

In reply to Krista Williams.

Exactly!!! And then even when we are being super productive we feel like we aren’t getting anything done. It’s a rough cycle. So glad you can relate– I think it’s a typical feeling we bloggers feel because we wanna get it ALL out there, all the time!! Thanks for the comment & support, sweet girl!
