WR, oh my goodness. I actually know someone who abuses Ritalin during examinations to keep up with the amount of work they need to do. Its insane and it cannot possibly be healthy. I'm sorry you had your meds stolen. Hope someone at work does something about it.

Zippinalong, what you said about structure and difficulty is very interesting. I need the structure to my days but have ALOT of trouble and even resistance with it. Yes, I am actually capable of resisting my own efforts at something, its mind boggling. What I find helpful is that I try to keep to some semblance of structure but don't get too rigid about it. For example, if I want to wake up at a certain time, I give myself a 20 minute window to do it. It at least puts a limit on the amount of time spent dwandling.

But practise does help a lot. My ability to follow a structured day is better now because I teach special ed and my students require structured days. So I've sort of gotten into the habit of it although its still a struggle when I'm at home.
