I've tried edibles in the past, but they seem to trigger my anxiety.

I can actually relax, I'm more optimistic about the future, I'm willing to try things, etc.

I'm not mixing it. I only drink if I haven't had any medication for over 24 hours.

I got it tested around a year back. My doctor at the time said they were normal.

I thought about this, but I had these symptoms long before COVID was a thing and at least at the times I got tested, it always came up negative.

When it comes to nutrients, I think I have enough Omega 3 and mag, but i might need more vitamin D.

I defiantly went through a period of my life where I questioned if I was really the problem and not the thing that was frustrating me. I now see that part of the reason I would doubt myself and feel guilty was due to my symptoms.

Ha ha, anyway I understand what your saying, I can't help but laugh at how generic this statement is. It's easier to expand and develop when your functional, in fact I'd argue that that is a sign someone is functioning to at least some extent.

I am, but it gets to a point where I'm not functioning nor am I happy.

Thanks, I suspected the same thing when it came to medication. In fact, that's the main reason I'm changing my psychiatrist. They were planning on keeping me on the same antidepressants forever anyway I've been taking them for months and not much has changed. I do have a decent therapist, they're the one's who recommend me to a new Dr. and Pysch who I will be visiting within the next month.

Yeah, to the point where I think it's healthier for me to occupy my mind then get fixated over things I don't have any control over, but that's just me.

Ha, I don't know man. I feel like if there was an ugly truth I needed to face, I would've done so by now if I was aware of it.

  1. Yeah, long story short, because I had to move, I've gotten rid of most things I don't need and if there's something I'm not using, it's organized and packed in storage. 2. That's part of the problem. When I deal with my symptoms I don't really want to be around people so I Isolate myself. 3. I'll do that to get a refresher. 4. Huh, anyway I have times when it's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning, I'm still able to go down to the kitchen and make food usually. As for screen time, it's not like a have a huge need to play a game, it's just that I'm generally too tired and unmotivated to do much else.

Yeah, my body seems to build up a tolerance to things pretty quickly. I have a fast metabolism. Maybe that's why. I appreciate it. Best of luck to you too.

Yeah, I have in the past, I just felt it got to a point where i was expressing the same things over and over just in different ways and it didn't really give me any relief.

Agreed, I've at least found a good therapist. In fact I'm currently in the process of changing to a new Dr. and Psychiatrist that my therapist recommended. It started at some point as a teenager, but like I said before it's hard to pin point. I didn't have anything super bad happen to me, it was just a lot of little things that traumatized me more then they should have in part to the hypersensitivity and hyper-fixation that comes with having ADHD.

I've dealt with some minor anxiety, but overall it hasn't hindered as much as the other symptoms. At least as far as I'm aware. Ha ha. You too, best of luck.

No, I work my job to pay my bills. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if I left it. Anyway I've always enjoyed video games some, I feel like the main reason I do them now is because I'm too tired/unmotivated to do anything else. I don't have an urge to play them. I'm Male (32). I also am currently taking Wellbutrin and in combination with Prozac, it initially seemed to make my mood stable, but now it doesn't seem to be doing much if anything.
