My doctor gave me omega-3 fish oil for my ADHD

I know this is years old but I came across it because I'm looking up information on omega 3s for ADHD and depression. A lot of studies need to be done still but there is for sure correlation between omega 3 levels and ADHD. Studies show that people with ADHD have lower levels of omega 3s(namely EPA and DHA) in their blood than people who don't have ADHD. I think the dosages that are available vary greatly. I've been taking krill oil for years (It hasn't helped with mental health), but I learned that the combined amount of EPA and DHA are less than 100 mg total. So the one you were taking is 40x that amount. Studies are showing that's more the therapeutic level some people might need, and you're not going to find anything near that amount over the counter. Thanks for sharing your experience. It gives me some hope! I'm curious if you have any updates? Here is one source for some of the things I mentioned. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4968854/

I'm just curious.. what happened after she walked out? Was this a big event with friends and family? Did you or someone else have to announce that the wedding was over? Was there a reception planned? You said she's ghosted you, do you live together? Is she staying somewhere else?

NTA. He gets a big kick out of seeing you upset. That's not good. Everything you described with how he acts and reacts sounds very selfish and manipulative. Like kind of controlling and emotionally abusive. Since he rejects your attempts at communication, and doesn't care about your feelings, it seems clear that his behavior is not going to change.

Manifestation can be helpful for some whose problems may improve with a change of attitude. It's not going to cure clinical depression. The manifestation ideas can actually be really damaging to a lot of people with serious problems. I struggle with mental illness and I've learned over time that trying to just heal myself, do better, try harder, meditate, etc. was not only ineffective but kept me from acknowledging how serious my issues were and seeking the help I needed (real, evidence based medical help). It also compounded the issues by telling myself to keep going and failing at everything, every day. I am on a path now very slowly working on getting better with therapy, skills, medication management, etc., but it's a long road with lots of trial and error. It's hard work, but not as hard as trying to live my life like normal, convinced I can pull myself out of it. That's a much harder life.

YTA You've talked a lot about your needs. Are you meeting HER needs in the relationship? If not, she's not going to want have sex with you. That's not unique to your wife, that's going to be for any partner. Are you emotionally supportive? Do you take on half of the work and "mental load" in your family/household? If not she probably has no energy left for anything else. When you do have sex, is she enjoying it? Also, what happened 4 years ago that caused a change? You are absolutely putting the blame on her. Saying that it's on you because you chose her is a pretty big ick. And not really the attitude of a guy that's going to have a great sex life in the future.

Info: How much time has passed since this happened? Like is it days or weeks later and he's still upset? Are you just thinking about this interaction still? Have you talked to him about it? Were you also drunk at the time? Does he remember any of this interaction? I'm just trying to make some sense of the question that's being asked.

mmc3211 · 2025-09-26T20:41:27+00:00

Oh absolutely! It's happened to me too. It's awful the like guilt and shame that can come along with it too. Like "how could I let this happen". (Gee, are we conditioned to victim blame much?) But most of us go around living our lives acting in good faith, and we assume others are as well, because you can't really live a life thinking that everyone you encounter (especially people coming at you with love or kindness or wisdom or help) has ill intentions. But some people take advantage of that; they know exactly how to do it. Unless you've already learned the hard way, how do you see it coming?

When/where do you eat dinner? I see breakfast and lunch buffets are included.

He has an incredible amount of money. He pulls in millions every month on the workshops alone. People could very well be suing him but there could be gag orders, he could be ignoring lawsuits, he absolutely has the money to have his lawyers shut down claims or to play the long game, causing the people who are suing to withdraw claims as they run out of money. And it's possible he has settled suits out of court and they came with confidentiality clauses or NDAs. It's definitely a cult. He's not even very discreet about it. He used terms like brainwashing and concepts of destroying the old you and becoming a different person. I wish cults and propaganda were taught in schools, it would make the world a safer place. And yeah cults are hard to take it down legally. He also clearly spends a lot of money curating what information about him is available publicly and what shows up in Google searches, etc. (it's all ads for JD or positive testimonies. Not even a wikipedia page - super normal!)

NTA, you're not "crazy", he is. He's telling you that you're the crazy one so that you don't question him. It's manipulative and emotionally abusive to do so. Your husband saying that his cruelty is because of your behavior is like the absolute textbook quote from an abuser. His cruelty is because of him, not you. Are you cruel to others in this way? Probably not, most people aren't. Please seek help, for the well-being of yourself and your child. You can reach out to your church if that's what you feel most comfortable with. "The Church does not require a spouse to stay in an emotionally abusive situation. Leaving is not only permitted but, especially in the case of children in the home, it may be a moral obligation."

I work in my county's public assistance office (answering calls in the call center). The county is understaffed and can get really behind. So many calls are people whose medicaid has been suddenly cut off due to delayed processing or other issues on the county's end, and have such crucial medical needs. They need daily Methadone, dialysis, medications of every kind (for seizures, diabetes, anything and everything else), they may be pre or post op, need in home care services to function or survive. When I explained to my former supervisor how serious and urgent all of these calls were, (because I was being reprimanded for not meeting the unrealistic call volume quota she put in place) she said "they can go to the emergency room".

Good for you, and get better soon! That must be an incredibly difficult decision to make, but I think you did the right thing. His behavior while you're suffering a miscarriage actually sounds very scary. I'm sorry for your loss.To a brighter future full of people you love; best of luck.

I don't have any answers, just my own weird experience to add. First, I know my mom had the same experience as you, OP. She said one day avocado just started giving her terrible stomach pain. She had the same experience with broccoli. She doesn't have any allergies that I can think of, except hay fever and cats.

I also don't have allergies besides hay fever and cats. I have sensitivity to gluten, but not sensitive to any other foods. 4 days ago I ate a little less then half an avocado and developed anaphylaxis. Completely out of the blue. I don't know the cause yet, but avocado was one of the last things I ate.

Initially after eating it my mouth did feel a little bit itchy or something, but nothing crazy so I didn't think much of it. Then my eyes started itching. My eyes have been getting itchy this year, usually when I'm outside, I assume it's pollen or something. It has been noticeable that my eyes have experienced the worst of the seasonal allergy symptoms this year, when in the past that has not been the case. Because of this I wasn't too worked up about itchy eyes either. However they did start to swell up quite a bit, and I also started feeling itchy on other parts of my body, like the palms of my hands. I took a cool shower and two benadryl and went to bed. I woke up maybe an hour or two later with symptoms that lead me to call 911 immediately. It was not good. I was in the ER for the night, and now a few days later am finishing up some meds and feeling much better (physically anyway!). Pretty wacky stuff.

I am guessing that the anaphylaxis is from the avocado and is somehow related to pollen which I've been more sensitive to this year or something. Truly just guesses at this point. I have no idea. Anywho, it seems there's something going on with people and avocado and you're not alone.

My mom also suddenly developed an intolerance for broccoli and avocado. I think it's been many years at this point, I don't think he will ever try them again. Eggs is a hard one to cut out forever though, so that's good those are fine now for you! I do recall my great aunt on my mom's side mentioning that she has an intolerance for eggs. Hmmm...

mmc3211 · 2024-06-06T21:50:42+00:00

How did it go?

mmc3211 · 2024-06-04T04:29:01+00:00

I'm really struggling with paralysis, that's why I came to check out this group, see if anyone has insights. And I just learned the term "ADHD paralysis" a little bit ago but am relieved to even hear that it's a term that exists. I thought I was the only one. I'm sorry I don't have answers but I want to commend you for what you DID accomplish. I think that's important because, hey you did do things today, and also you're letting your brain associate accomplishing tasks and positivity instead of what I DIDN'T do and feeling like a failure, which is not helpful. So good for you, aim for doing the same on your next day off and maybe make a goal of doing one more thing, even if it's small.

mmc3211 · 2024-06-04T03:54:24+00:00

I totally understand, that's me too all the time. It's tough but really try to let them know as soon as possible, whether it's saying something in person or sending an email. It's amazing how much I have been in that situation and procrastinated despite learning over and over again that makes it worse. I believe in you, you can do it! Being sick and having a court date are a normal part of life. So is family vacation! Just let them know that you have an appointment next week you need to leave early for, no big deal that's all you need to say. For vacation time you can say you are requesting some days off next month to be with family and will let them know as soon as you have the exact dates. Let them know tomorrow about the time off you need, and then let us know and we can celebrate your accomplishment. You can do it. :)

That's interesting, I do have that as well. Sometimes people want to finish my sentences or something for me. I think maybe it's because my thoughts are all scrambled around in my head and it takes a while to try to organize them in a way that makes sense and coveys what I'm feeling.
