Many of us also suffer from depression so you are not alone. Constantly failing to do things, follow through on things, and the social dysfunction we seem to exhibit certainly compound the problem. Barkley mentioned in one of his lectures that people with ADHD have a much higher likelihood of following through with suicidal thoughts because of the lack of impulse control.

It may sound corny, but you just have to get up and keep going because it will most likely get better or not get any worse. I would recommend that at the very least you should speak to a counselor about your “dark thoughts.”
