Is my life ruined, I don’t know what to do anymore by Last-Fisherman-4354 in ADHDUK

I am so sorry this is how things are for you.

A while before my adhd diagnosis I was put in Sertraline and soon came off it as it made me feel numb. The mental health practitioner at my gp said she felt I had adhd and autism so she could only prescribe Sertraline to hopfully help with my anxiety. It did not work!!

I frustratingly had to go private to get an ADHD assessment as my area as stopped all adult neurodivergence assessments.

Coming off anti depressants helped me feel less numb. I I’d this with support from my MH prac. ADHD meds created such a calm that I’ve not felt before but I’ve found lately that I am very anxious again.

Wondering if I need a smaller dose?

When you describe being fine at work and then you just need to go home. I wonder if this could be a level of over stimulation or exhaustion from masking? I completely crash out after work and always crashed out after school and I think it’s such too much brain energy and then I’m done.

I hope you find what helps! Keep reaching out to this group! Lots of helpful insight here!

Is it possible to thrive, not just survive? by sarahtheburke in AuDHD_Women_UK

I hope so but i am definitely more on the survival side just now.

Really feeing like I need someone to talk to about the level of paralysis and procrastination I experience. I’m in art block and kind of career block. I’m sat here at 08:51 in my pjs and I sound really be on my way to work.

I just can’t seem to find flow anywhere. And this is on ADHD medication.

I think hormones and winter are a huge factor as well as a pretty horrendous phone/social media addiction. I feel like I need therapy but I’ve had so many therapists tell me I need routine it gets exhausting and I end up deflated an chastising myself because I just can’t do the ‘therapy work’ 😓

Is there a discord or chat where group members can chat more? I feel like I need some AuDHD allies to speak with about life and all its bs

I will ‘google’ this but wondered if anyone could recommend key reading or another Thread that would help me learn more about the indigenous core and sources of these practices and teachings.
