On Sunday I had a migraine. I didn’t take Adderall on that day because I would have thrown it up.

So, this is almost exactly 4 weeks since I started taking Adderall and now, migraines 4 weeks apart.

Migraines suck so much.

I’m getting tired of life getting more stressful. It’s like ok, the election has just been horrible, and now we have this coronavirus epidemic. I just want to have a little while to breathe and be happy.

I have physical therapy on Wednesday for my knee, which is good. I would really like to get it so that I can do real exercise again. If that has to be riding a bike instead of jogging, so be it.

Still, I guess I have to say that all things considered, I am way less stressed than I would have been with no Adderall. I am going around and around in my head but it’s not turning into a panicky spiral. At least not yet.

I’m also thinking of constructive measures. I’ve decided to stop shaking hands. I’ve been resisting putting my hair in a ponytail or putting it up but I think I’m going to have to, because hair in my face is a great way to touch my face without thinking.

I wonder if it would make sense to just wear gloves all the time, unless I’m at home or at a workstation. Probably not.

I’ve also decided to stop taking my phone into the restroom. Phones are disgusting piles of germiness.

I’m irritated that hand sanitizer is sold out everywhere but I did find a make-your-own recipe so I may do that.

Also: The Theme from Flood is about 20 seconds long, so I’m singing that while washing my hands.
