Hey

[misunderstood0412]

I am 25 and when I was 5 or 6 my doctors diagnosed me with ADHD and later with depression. After going to the same counselor for over a year now we have discovered that all along it was anxiety. I think the most frustrating part is that it should have been discovered years ago and maybe I would feel semi-normal by now(haha). I have nervous habits, im a perfectionist, I have test anxiety and so many things running through my mind that I am nervous about that sometimes I feel crazy, but I know I am not. Next week I go to my first psychiatrist appointment to hopefully geta correct diagnose and maybe a treatment that will help. I think it might also be why I have had sleeping issues since I was a kid, I dont sleep alot and I dont sleep well.

Any advice or does anyone want to chat about what helps them?

Thanks!

Please specify type of advice you're seeking, or I will type a short novel. Thank YOU!

Haha you can write a short novel if you want to. But really I am just in the beginning of getting cured now that we are headed in the right direction with diagnosing so I dont know what exactly I am looking for yet.

You're in a class of few that actually think the "cure" for your problems, issues, troubles, is mere moments away...as many, most, if not all people that which suffer, hurt, in sadness and turmoil for years upon years in some cases..talking, begging, pleading, for a shredd of some sort of relief often find themselves "heading in no direction" at all... You're a very unique, blessed, and gifted individual as it would appear that the "total weight and immense pressure" of our condition for some reason, is not crushing you and forcing you to the ground below praying for mercy..

I just woke up so my mind is not fully functional as of yet, so if those typed words in reply look like a foreign language then that's my excuse and i'm stickin to it.

Time for a beverage to make my eyes open, and also that is the LAST time I am taking more sleeping meds at 3 am!! Those were weird freakin dreams and at one point I even spoke a few words to someone that wasn't even there..and I quote "WTF are you doing here?".. only to realize there was no one in the room..

I'm blaming DazzMaster for this! (forcin me to use my brain cell at 3am was just flat out inconsiderate and deviant on his part...go ahead and laugh now Dazzler because I may arrive at your castle walls someday bruh!)....

Some days I do feel that way but im more in the frustrated stage as in, i know alot of whats wrong but it frustrates me that I dont know how to help. I think I have a more positive outlook because I also have add and depression and have dealt with it my whole life just like everyone else. So believe me when I say that its not really all happy and rainbows that I make it out to be I just try to be positive so I dont lose my mind.

Make sense?

PS- I do have an update. I finally got to see the psychiatrist and the diagnosis is general anxiety disorder and she prescribed a new pill to enhance what I am already on. So.... Its a step forward?
