Very important, my dear: Don’t overcharge yourself, don’t demand too much of you!
As I said on an other post of you: You’re on crossroads now and on the point of picking the right road.
But don’t “drive” too fast! Depression (by mental overload) could be the answer.
Relax and lounge more! An take the road step by step only.

OK, thanks
maybe you need new meds. As for me I’ve been on em all. Really i called my pharmacist to ask him if he could suggest one. Well, griffin looks like you’ve been on em all. LOL , I’m on prestiq now it helps, they doubled it when i was in the nut house. i get it FREE from the manufacturer thru my shrink.
The only time I’m not praying to die when i play scrabble
keeps my mid busy
Can’t you do something to keep the energy at bay? Like going for a walk or idk, play a game where you kill nazi’s?

I’ve been on them all and they make me more impulsive and suicidal. When I was on Cymbalta I attempted suicide four times and once came close to succeeding. I’m trying to avoid them if at all possible. The amitriptyline was prescribed to me more for sleep than depression.
I have ADHD too. and im surfing the internet too.. day and night but actually doing nothing useful. forgeting things, being lazy or hyperactive it doenst matter because either way, my work is not done.
I know im not helping with this, but i’ve been told a million times to do it even if you’re not in the mood, you have to do it. But its not that easy. I told everything to my girlfriend and that helped me. I told her about the depression, the ADHD and that im feeling down all the time. It does help.
Actually i think ADHD could be an advantage. read about the ADHD assets. google it.
whats causing the depression? there must be something. you have to get over it somehow. it wont be easy. after years i cant get over my (serious) problems, but im trying and its better now.

Thing is I wouldn’t classify it as energy. It’s insomnia, depression, short attention span, etc. I don’t actually had adhd. That doctor was wrong hence why the med he prescribed kept me up all night and eventually drove me into a crisis.

Well, I don’t have ADHD it was ruled out after the med effected me the opposite of how it was supposed to.
But what’s making me depressed is primarily my physical health. I have gastroparesis, Sphincter of oddi dysfunction,epilepsy, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Kienbock’s Disease, and the list goes on.

I’ve been on them all. Pristiq is just another version of Effexor, btw.
don’t think so, I was on effexor, didn’t do anything
the Prestiq is helping, not today or this week but it helps
zoloft made me eat everything in sight
Sending you a Giant Cyber Hug
always in my prayers
Pink Freud-I’m so sorry you are feeling this way! Your feelings are completly validated. I can only imagine your life on a day to day basis!
The best you can do is try to stop and breath…….you are dealing with so many things and especially your health. I’m sure the letter from the Attorney has only added to all your confusion as well.
You say your on the computer alot. See if you can download or maybe have a program on your computer now that will pop up reminder’s for you. You can set them to pop up as often as you want. This would help with important or even simple things that you need to do. And because you use the computer so often your sure to see these reminder’s.
Some self mediation would be good for you right now! Start your day and then take breaks through out the day where you just sit there!
Clear your mind of everything thought by thought fear by fear and be quite with-in yourself. When a thought pops up stop it and say it’s ok everything is ok. The important thing is to unwind all the confusion and thoughts you are having.
Our thoughts can send us whirling in circle’s and will get us no where but frustrated and feeling help less. You have no control over doctor’s or anything outside of your self. The only thing you truly have control over is your mind and your thoughts!
Do you have family or any close friends around you?
I have felt the same way you do right now when I have had way to much personal stuff happen all at once! I just wanted to scream and yell “I can’t take anymore!”.
You are not going crazy or acting irrational given your situation anyone would feel over the edge!
Please try to sit back and breath slowly relax your mind and your thoughts and don’t stop until you can feel that everything going on in your head is out in front of you were you can clearly see it! Then when you can do this let everything stay out in front of you! It’s not going to go anywhere. Try to do this so you can get a perspective on the important thing’s right now! Let go of the Attorney stuff right now “It’s not important” you are the important thing right now and you need to take control of your thoughts racing! Get as much away from you right now that is not of importance and focus only only what is important “Right Now”…..and that is you!
You need to get some clarity into your thought process right now and you can’t do this with everything jumbling around like a bunch of balls bouncing off the walls!
I know your schooling is very important to you right now but it is not more important then your health. Set the schooling aside for right now. It will be there and is not something you need this very moment.
Your only focus right now should be you….your health and sanity!
I feel you are taking on way to much inside of yourself and you just need to let go of some things for now! Nothing other then your health is that important that it can’t wait to be worked out later.
I hope some of this will make sense to you and you will understand what I’m trying to share! I will check back later to see how you are feeling!

Recently, I have become more scatter - brained, depressed, and anxious. I can’t seem to keep track of appointments I have scheduled even if I’ve written them down on the calendar and I seem to constantly be misplacing either my wallet or my cellphone. As of this week my depression has gotten worse with thoughts of suicide being at an all time high since the last time I was in therapy (over a year ago). I’m not all that emotional, in fact I would say if anything I’m numb and don’t seem to feel anything.
I was on an antidepressant to help with sleep and my doctor took me off it because it was actually preventing me from sleeping and making my depression worse. It seems like he may have been right. Because I’m still on a small dose of it and I feel as if I’m spiralling into madness. I feel as if I’ve lost all control of my life and that I am living a life of chaos.
The last time I felt this way was when a psychiatrist misdiagnosed me with ADHD and put me on Abilify. All that did was keep me up for days on end, help me lose a few pounds, and ultimately drive me into a crisis because my life was in a complete and constant state of chaos because I did nothing but surf the web day in and day out. Any words of advice are welcome and appreciated
I can’t set schooling aside. Already looked into that and not only would I be put on academic probation but I would los part of my funding. I’m not as ill I have been and there’s always that chance that I will need to take an LOA for a hospitalization or something in which case I’d like that to be available to me if I need it. So I have to go even if I’m not feeling mygreatest right now because if I am Academic probation and need an LOA then I lose all my funding and get kicked out of school. So…not an option.
I see! So that is not something to consider then!
Are you on a medical Insurance Plan?

Thankfully you have something! Isn’t it hard to get Specialist with this coverage? I saw what my Mother went through with the Doctor’s that accepted it and was almost blinded by one.
This was in California not sure what it is like where you are!

You are loved. You are admired. You are accomplished. You have friends! And believe it or not, you also have God.
You belong here and you have a purpose to fulfill. You have been in a lot of pain and under much stress, and both pain and stress wreak havoc with a person’s memory. I know–been there and done that!
Keep focused upon goals. Listen for that still, small voice of God. I recently underwent a trial and found myself deserted by 99 percent of humanity. But I still had my family, my friends, and God.
The world is under the control of the dark powers–that is a fact. The world is headed toward destruction. You can see signs of this all around you. I am fighting against those dark powers even now, where Satan has his seat. I see what happens to a society in which so many people sell their souls to the devil.
We are born into a world at war, between good and evil, heaven and hell. Evil is winning–for now. It won’t win in the end. I know, however, that for all of my efforts, a long night of barbarism is going to descend upon the world. But we must keep the faith and support each other.
Here in Afghanistan a preacher said at an evening prayer service, “Every battle we face is a spiritual battle.” It really is. There is an Enemy seeking to break our hearts so that we are taken out of the fight. Do not let that happen!
Know that you are loved, and wanted and needed. This world would be a much poorer place without you.
I have found out something else: when you stand to make a particularly significant contribution to the world, the Enemy redoubles his efforts to stop you, to divert you. The more trouble that the Enemy makes for you, the greater your potential contribution to the world. It all sounds simplistic, but it’s an Ockham’s razor view of the world–and the simplest explanation for something is usually the correct one!
Hang in there . . . get different meds, see different doctors . . . but never give up! You are surrounded by friends. We are here. We will NOT let you go!
I’m very proud of how far you’ve come. You’ve come a long way, in spite of the numerous difficulties along the path down which you travel. I admire your decision to stick with school and endeavor to finish your degree. The best distraction I have right now in my life is my goal of successfully finishing school and getting my degrees. I’m not sure where I’d be without that particular goal; it’s truly my greatest salvation. With that said, I hope you never lose sight of your goal(s)in life and, whatever happens, never let defeat creep into your system. The easiest thing to do is to give up. But that is not what we were built for. We are worth much more than that. We were endowed with exceptional qualities that enable us to endure just about any terrible thing life hurls at us. Make no mistake about it, there’s a reason why you’ve made it as far as you have.
I know how important going back to school is to you, and I hope you’re able to make it to finish line.
Never give up.
