I try to never make decisions when I am feeling good or bad. Decisions are best made for me mind you, when I am calm.

I try not to make any decision's if Im in my emotional mind or stuck in my thoughts. I try to take a calming deep breath, maybe a few if need be and then I'll attempt to make a decision. If I'm stuck in that emotional state or in my rambling thoughts, my decisions would make no sense at all.

I can usually tell when I'm going manic as I can't keep still, can't focus nor get anything done but feel like I've done heaps... I'm slightly elevated ATM (which I prefer as I get busy and do things rather than stay in bed all day) I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD as my mum had me on herbal medicines so I wonder whether I'm bipolar (as do the Drs ) I asked the doctor about it a couple of months ago and he said "I'm too old to have ADHD ???
