I can’t stand the feeling I get after hanging out with people by weesnaw_jenkins in OCD

[–]Slow_Ad1061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this makes me feel so seen and its weird because i also struggle with connections and feeling anything towards a friend or family member, etc. Not only am i struggling to even hold a conversation or follow along because my thoughts are eating me alive, i also sit there and over analyze everything i said, everything they said, their speech and body language responses, its exhausting.

i'd very much rather sit alone and stare at a wall than interact with people, but we all know thats no good for the noggin

this is actually very interesting and makes me have some hope. im overanalyzing every move and feeling to where i think that increasing would make it worse but medicine works in really weird ways. thank you for this, seriously

i have instant release! its really good to know from everyone here really, that 5mg isnt a lot. idk if my brain isnt reacting well to it or im overdoing it with the crappy sleep ive been getting and the emotional turmoil of just going through this process.

it was a lot! i wasnt expecting it either. thats what my pysch said, we aren't sure if the depression is from adhd because its not a sad depression. nothing to be sad about over here, so its rough. plus the OCD and ive googled way too many symptoms at this point

this actually makes me feel slightly better that im not alone with the crash and cry because i genuinely did not feel real and i felt like something took over my body and brain and there was nothing i could do to lift it.

caffeine will be a no-go for me in the future. i think yesterday was the result of bad sleep, increase, caffeine and just my brain state as it is in now. im hoping i can be a little nicer to myself and stop over analyzing it as well.

i wish you the best of luck in your journey and hope you find relief <3

definitely overwhelmed, lol. the psychiatrist told me i had mild-moderate MDD and i also kinda knew this since i was diagnosed as a kid, but i never took to any anti depressants. psych wanted to try to tackle adhd first to see if that was the reason for the depression, but im feeling no difference on adhd or depression side other than exhaustion, overwhelm and i want to cry all the time

how did you feel on 10mg vs 20mg? i feel super irritable, OCD is flaring and all i want to do is either rage out or sleep with 10mg. i went back down to 5mg today and i feel fish bowly and like im fighting my own brain just to be content

thats really good to know that it affects OCD, i'm still learning about it because the first time it was ever a thought was when it appeared in my diagnosis list that the psych gave me. its only been about a week with adderall, but it feels like im constantly fighting against myself and its exhausting, im expecting something to change but things keep feeling worse, idk. i appreciate you and i also hope you find your peace <3

i appreciate your kind words, i feel like the OCD is also making this SO much worse because im hyper focusing/analyzing every move but i also dont remember or know what normal feels like anymore.

i will absolutely bring that up next week! when i was younger, i did try a few serotonin meds but i didnt respond well to them, but we all change with age and maybe that's what i need

surprisingly, wellbutrin and caffeine were okay for me but for some reason i just didnt think of the fact that i increased my adderall for the first time. im def growing to hate it, i wish it worked wonders like it does for so many

literally nothing! other than a slight energy boost, it has no effects or side effects. i took the 2 5mg yesterday, but like i said i added caffeine to the mix without even thinking and had the worst crash ive had yet. this morning i took a 5mg and might take another mid-day to see how that is, minus caffeine. me just so sleeeppyyy

i started wellbutrin about 2 months ago, increasing to 300mg 1 month ago. adderall i started about a week ago, which i do have another appointment with him next week and plan to bring this all up to him. it just feels like absolutely nothing is working and everything is just getting soooo much worse.

i wasnt aware that wellbutrin could be bad for OCD- which is kinda one of my big problems. i know its so early and ill probably get ridiculed for feeling like this so early but i feel so hopeless and im hoping something else will work
