Joke’s on you, I’m like that at 47.
Came here to say this… my job is done already so I’ll scroll along…
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Such a good song. Kind of fucked up to listen to on a morning commute tho xD
I fucking wish I was 30
DW! It get’s better in the mid 30’s. When you realize you don’t want to stress yourself anymore. You have your career already set up. No need to prove yourself, like back in school. You can start enjoying your life and care less.
Except for those people with crippling ADHD, who never get to build a career, have trouble maintaining meaningful relationships and succumb to the overhead and additional stress of having to try life on hard mode.
Let’s not pretend those people don’t exist or that ADHD is not a problem for adults any longer, in particular in places where healthcare is not readily accessible.
My family doc unironically told me that adults can’t have adhd, and kids grow out of it. I don’t even know where to start.
My province until very recently had the same stance and so all the docs did as well.
I have a diagnosis but meds didn’t work, possibly because i live a pretty much sheltered life and was never forced into work, i did some jobs but i never lasted more than a year. The last 3 years i spent smoking weed and postponing my waking up. Now i’m trying psychotherapy again and i’ve been prescribed efexor.
But i feel more hopeless and spent than ever. I can’t feel interest nor curiosity about anything. Social interactions are pain, and what’s worse is that even with my closest friends it is now like that. I just feel like I’m not interested or capable of conversing with them, cause I feel no interest in any thing anymore…
I’m not a doctor, but what you’re describing sounds very much like clinical depression to me. So I’m wondering if maybe your dose of Effexorneeds to be adjusted. Again, I am not a medical professional in any way shape or form also, for me personally, I was smoking weedfor the first six months after I got diagnosed in addition to taking the Adderall. The weed almost completely Counteracted all the beneficial effects of the Adderall. Once I got off it, I am now my best self that I have ever been. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I don’t do any of that stuff anymore and I no longer feel the urge.
I don’t know if i have depression, but i starter to get curious about gender dysphoria and many things seem to resonate. Depersonalization and derealization mostly…i know there are comorbidities but it feels like a rouge to investigate
I havent gotten the chance to start efexor yet. Tomorrow ill have it tho.
Also your feedback on weed was helpful, when i start stimulants again i will do my best not to smoke
Thank you
So maybe you need to artificially create some sort of panic in your life. I look at your life and am jealous of the things discribe but you seem to be wanting in on what Im going through. So if that’s the case just need to be constantly panicked about something.
But i am panicked about everything, about my brain fog, my incapability of communicating or even wanting to comunicate with people, inability to cope with the world materially and morally crumbling down.
And mostly, panicked about my inability to not feel numb constantly about my panic
Im not a medical professional, first off. I dont really think you need to be panicked Im just saying you need something inside telling you this is urgent. That thing needs to float above all other things. For me, its easy because from the moment I wake up and its not there I will immediately lose my job and spiral out. Its an exaggeration, but really its not. If that drive isn’t there every waking moment its like letting go of the wheel while Im driving through the mountains. Sure I might make it 10-20ft.
But Id also say, its not great.
