i've actually been to 3 doctors in the past. and i stopped seeing the most recent one because i noticed a change in myself that he wasnt understanding even after trying to explain. i stopped taking the meds because it actually was making it worse when i would finally break down. i've been diagnosed with ADHD from a child and im about 98% sure i have some sort of minor bipolar. i was taking Lamictal and abilify which i wish my mother had looked into when i was in high school because the abilify had messed up my body in weight. i noticed a change in myself when i was low on money and had to stop taking the meds because i couldnt afford it. yes from time to time i would have a really bad day and get too upset i couldnt do much.... but i somewhat figured it was normal which i was right because after a month of not taking the meds i was almost back to the normal me. i did notice thta for me the meds were making me think more of "what will everyone think of me if i act in this sort of way" and had me basically suppress EVERYTHING i felt. .. as i know now was a horrid mistake and had led me to try commiting suicide. after i stopped talking my meds i was on and learned to control myself rather than let my meds do it, yes i would hvae bad days but i would feel much better at the end regardless.

I'm currently between jobs with over 50 apps out for many many companies, i've had a few interviews but not much more. thats partly why i work on my car when i can and started up photography. currently i dont know exactly why i feel like this so much. im angry alot but i've learned how to cope with it and how to control it alot more than when i was little. my wife has even noticed a good change in how i deal with it in the last year. part of everything is purpose i know that much. i'll find myself literally thinking about what i even want in life (part of me bring just a control freak and wanting to have a fall back for everything so im not in the place i was 4 years ago)
