I could really use advice,Update | ADHD Information
I hope you feel better soon. As for being depressed right now you have had a lot thrown at you at once and that can be overwhelming. My best friend has bipolar and is doing very well for herself. Things will get better, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and comments. It feels good to get things off my chest and hear the point of view of others who have been there.
I went to the therapist today and after we spoke quite a bit she did confirm that she thinks I have bipolar and ADHD together.
She is going to have me speak to the psychologist guy that prescibes my meds. I usually don't talk to him much just about how the meds are working, my theripist is the one I talk to and then she makes recommendations. Anyway, I hope that is all and its not something like a brian tumor or Scitz.
I already feel some relief just getting stuff off my chest and knowing that I'm getting to the root of my problems in life instead of thinking that I'm just a loser who will never change. There is a light still at the end of this tunnel.
She also confirmed that the meds could have triggered the bipolar episode, that I most likely have been in a middle phase for a while and now I'm in a depression. I don't know I still have a lot to learn.
Thanks everyone I'll keep you al posted.
jake77738478.4125925926Let me tell you, finding out can be such a relief.....when I found out
that I was a ritalin kid and got the 17 page report it changed my
life.... For the first time I wasn't being told that I'm "Not working
to potential"....damnit I hate those canned answers..... I've had that
on every report card since grade 1
Finally there was a reason for my laziness, or whatever....the point is
that it made sense and that there was a way to help me overcome it....
it hasn't and won't ever be easy but at least I stand a chance..... and
I'll be damned if I don't grab that chance and run like hell.....
