Re: Feeling like a roller coaster

[Anonymous]

Tried to commit suicide right before I was diagnosed, in fact the psychiatrist who treated me diagnosed my ADHD. The roller coaster feeling still hasn’t stopped despite being on concerta and seeing a counsellor and have noticed when I get completely overwhelmed I shut down and don’t want to leave the couch, I curl up in the fetal position, wrap myself in a blanket and turn up the television and try to block out all of my thoughts but when I do this I get really down and have noticed that I think of suicide constantly, not really about doing it but almost convincing myself that it’s not the answer, thinking about how it would hurt my family and friends. I go see my doctor tomorrow and am hoping he has some answers for me. It’s weird because I read the messages in this forum and realize that I am not alone and how over the years I built up coping mechanisms to deal with a disorder I didn’t know I had and now that I know what is wrong with me I am constantly second guessing those coping mechanisms. Feeling lost, scared and alone.
