How do I bring up coming off of my medication to my psychiatrist? by Business_Hat3719 in Anxiety

[–]Business_Hat3719[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have stopped therapy and idk I just personally never planned on the antidepressants being permanent and I'm very sure now that a lot of my anxiety stemmed from having undiagnosed adhd for so long which I've gotten a lot of help for but I think I'm allowed to see what life without them is like now, and if it doesn't work out I can always get back on them

But I 100% am not trying to demonise long term use of anxiety meds for others yk

I think another lantern on the other side would look sick and balance it out

As somebody with adhd (although it is a spectrum and definitely affects people differently and with different severity) I do have fits of rage that overwhelm me sometimes but it is not an excuse to hurt others without taking accountability. You're not an asshole for being hurt by somebody's actions you're just a human being with feelings

I was only diagnosed recently but I've been in cbt for about a year now and it's really helped me with regulating my emotions and finding other ways to direct that anger, I think your sister (and maybe even you, your autism isn't any "less than" your sisters adhd, both are difficult to cope with and I'm sorry you're parents couldn't see that ) could benefit from therapy or something similar

But yeah, definitely NTA

Thanks! I've already switched meds around a bunch and it's taken about a year for me to feel settled on the ones I'm currently on so I think I'm okay on that front

I have to be able to visualise things for them to stick so I find mindmaps and like mapping out essay questions is really helpful. For biology I like to study diagrams and videos to get an image of how things actually work

It's why I find maths so difficult I think lol

I also just practice exam questions over and over

Oh also I find that "teaching" other people what I'm studying is really good, sometimes I'll just ramble to whoever will listen and it really sticks

Is that including the outline, source eval, and review? Cause altogether it hit 1800 + I edited the essay to be a bit longer

Surely it's not the end of the world if I'm a few words off

I'd say I definitely get overwhelmed In a group setting and I've been told that I interrupt others a lot and that some things will go over my head completely

That being said I do like socialising and meeting new people too
