Dexies for ADD BPD 19 yr old girl
Hey, first time post, I have been reading and thought I'd let you all know this.
I was only diagnosed a couple of months ago, and I just seemed to be getting real bad depressive episodes. Practically no life force In me, and I just didn't want to. I know you all know what I'm talking about when I say, I'd plan my day out, do jobs and cleaning around home, but just went back to bed, cos I " couldn't be botherd" lol I am also studying full time community services ( Aussie Wa) and that's only a few days a week, long days but it's not full on hard. But I'd get up and get ready for tafe, and then drive there, and I would just stay in my car for hours and I had no energy or any motivation for anything. And also I'm dealing with weight issues, I'm not overly big, just buxom and I have to take it as it comes. I was also diagnose with ADD in primary school, and it followed through to high school, and i still struggle, I'm the butterfly type, the airy fairy, I day dream a lot. I was on medication but they really made me ill so I decided to go off them in year 10. they were various events, I went into a rehab for 3 years for my mental health and then I came out and my mental health declined. Decided to study seeming getting a job in my area is very hard, and I noticed my ADD/Dyslexia was terrible.
So my doctor got me back on Dexies, and now, I have never felt better! My thinking and mind is so clear, I know what I want and I just feel so clear minded. And plus! I'm doing what I needed to do in the house, ( I was ment to empty the spare room and paint it) and I don't eat much anymore, I eat when im hungry, not binge all day on unnecessary food. I love it, it just makes me feel great, and I fought up on my tafe assignments, cos I hadn't handed anything in for 6 weeks, and it did them all in one sitting.
So.... What I'm trying to get at, if you had learning issues at school, or even know trying to stay on task, I'd bring ADD medication up and ask for some, mind you I am only on a very very small dose and I take 6 a day and they only last 2-4 hours, so I have to take them at lunch aswell as the morning. It definitely boosted my feelings to feel great enough to get off my ass and get moving. And moving = happy feelings of achievement and self worth :)
So yeah, do some research and see what you think :) Xx Cheers.
