I am 19 years old. I thought that I was normal. However, my study habits and skills were greatly suffering. I also have low self esteem and as I was unable to complete ONE task, I started to get depressed. Very depressed. I thought that I would never amount to anything. I had tried every single thing I could do to cope with not being able to get anything accomplished, and I finally resorted to *******. My parents found me and I was immediately put in therapy. At first they thought I was bipolar, but I looked back at my habits, and realized I had huge focusing problems. I mentioned ADD and they gave me a questionaire. I scored 33 when the requirement was 24. Today is my first day on 30 mg Vyvanase. I noticed a dramatic improvement. I was doing so well in school. But it makes me feel like I can’t connect with myself very well. I mean, I can, but it’s not like I used to. I have some control over my emotions, but not alot. I don’t want to go back to the way that I was before, but I know th
at the medication might turn me into a different person. I know that if I go back I won’t be able to be productive because this medicine is my last resort and it’s working so well. I just don’t want to lose myself in the medication. Also, is it safe for your body? Is any ADD medication? Because I am scared of the medicine and it’s side effects. I don’t want to stop taking it, because I know that I need it, so is it safe to take for a long period of time? Ty!!

Enough, show me the money!

My doctor diagnosed me with ADHD for my forgetfulness/bad memory and concentration

I took concerta and the first day it worked like a miracle. My memory was impecable, and i was eager to learn &socialize which was unusual because i am a very reserved person

my doctor wanted me to wait a month, but i stopped taking it after 1.5 weeks because i noticed
after the first day i began to experience negativity, social anxiety, sensitivity, low self confidence& esteem, and more withdrawn and full of anger. i couldn’t take it anymore so
i was switched to 20mg adderall
and i have yet to experience any form of improvement (day 3).
but i’ve been experiencing similar side effects as concerta.

does anyone have some kind of input? (i’m not interested in sarcastic or otherwise meaningless remarks)
do you think i might need a higher dosage,
or should i stop taking it completley?

i’ve tried talking to my doctor but he doesn’t acknowledge these symptoms the way i’d like him to

self improvement

d_asnightnday asked:


A wake up call. Im depressed, bulimic and I self injury. but i dont think any of it is a big deal, its not serious at all. I have cut for 9 months, been depressed for 8 and had 2 ******* attempts. i still think about *******. and dont even look at my attempts as anything serious. Awhile back my school counselor mentioned it to me that maybe it wasnt such a bad idea that i go into an inpatient program, just so i wouldnt get any worse. i refused at first…but now maybe it would help me wake up and realize what im doing so i can get help. i see a therapist am on antidepressants and go to group but none of it is really helpful. im bearly getting better if not standing still. i havnt made any real improvement. maybe going somewhere will push me to. maybe it will be my wake up call

A parent with 4 children has one difficult 10 year old boy who is becoming increasingly difficult and out of control. She confided that she can’t control him and is afraid that as he gets older his behaviors will lead to serious trouble for him and her family. He doesn’t steal and other than physical fights has displayed major violence, but he often needs to be restrained from becoming violent and he is becoming more verbally violent. He is mean to other children verbally because he believes they are talking about him. For the most part, they aren’t. He has very low self-esteem.

Mom seems to be at her witts end. The child is medicated, and medications have be adjusted and readjusted time and again. He already receives therapy. He participates in extra curricular activities. He even is in the big brother program. I too am becoming out of ideas and clinging for that slightest bit of improvement for this child. Even though his mom never said anything about this to him, I know he is feeling that his mom wants to get rid of him by comments he makes. This can’t be helping, but I do understand his mom being at a loss of what to do and she needs to be there for her 3 other children. Does anyone have any suggestions of what options may be available for this family. His mom is a good mom. She is single and raising 4 children plus working two jobs. In my opinion she is handling that better than most, so her new feelings of wanting to get rid of her child tells me things are more serious than ever.

Oh, and what worries me the most is that her youngest boy who is 7 is beginning to act just like the 10 year old. This is not the 7 year olds natural behavior, you can tell he is learning this behavior from his brother.

I am 19 years old. I thought that I was normal. However, my study habits and skills were greatly suffering. I also have low self esteem and as I was unable to complete ONE task, I started to get depressed. Very depressed. I thought that I would never amount to anything. I had tried every single thing I could do to cope with not being able to get anything accomplished, and I finally resorted to *******. My parents found me and I was immediately put in therapy. At first they thought I was bipolar, but I looked back at my habits, and realized I had huge focusing problems. I mentioned ADD and they gave me a questionaire. I scored 33 when the requirement was 24. Today is my first day on 30 mg Vyvanase. I noticed a dramatic improvement. I was doing so well in school. But it makes me feel like I can’t connect with myself very well. I mean, I can, but it’s not like I used to. I have some control over my emotions, but not alot. I don’t want to go back to the way that I was before, but I know th
at the medication might turn me into a different person. I know that if I go back I won’t be able to be productive because this medicine is my last resort and it’s working so well. I just don’t want to lose myself in the medication. Also, is it safe for your body? Is any ADD medication? Because I am scared of the medicine and it’s side effects. I don’t want to stop taking it, because I know that I need it, so is it safe to take for a long period of time? Ty!!
