wellbutrin did nothing for me. made me feel worse, more depressed. (i guess it did something!)
my doc wouldn't give me stims b/c of past recreational drug use - or that's what i think anyway.
i should not have disclosed that. even though i made it clear i never regularly used cocaine or meth, or anything besides cannabis.
i go through periods where i don't do much right too.
first, give yourself a break, cut yourself some slack. the more worked up you are, the more you're going to make mistakes.
second, pause and monitor your self-talk. you can start telling yourself-'slow down. double check. double check again. slow down.' i say it so much, i get sick of hearing it. but it helps.
third, cut yourself some slack. (i know- i already said this.) the best thing i have done for myself is admitting i have a problem. i was born with it, and i can't always manage it. but sometimes i can. the more i learn about it, the more i can adapt to it. the more i adapt to it, the more i can manage it. the more i manage it, the less i screw up and so on.
you can't expect to live an adhd life as if you're not adhd. learn to compensate, and stop beating yourself up.
and someday, i'll follow my own advice.
Scarecrow, we all have days like that and sometimes weeks like that. Jones is right about the struggles in life. As much as we dislike them, they really make us stronger. Reminds me of the story of the cocoon & butterfly. I take Wellbutrin XL 150mg and Adderall 20mg XR or did I get my xr & xl mised up? - Anyway - both time released. I have made lots of improvements, but still having struggles in lots of areas - It don't happen overnight - Give it faith and have time. Who says there is a wrong way!If the way you do something works for you it is a sucess.Hi All,
I cannot seem to do anything right! I send important Emails and either send it to the wrong person. I spell words wrong and forget to spell check it. I don’t start projects because I always screw them up. I really cannot deal with me. I am on medication, 75mg Wellbutrin, but its not helping with the screwing up everything. I feel incredibly stupid, retarded, dumb. What the hell is wrong with me!
