Jennifermac- It works both ways in the co-dependent relationships that burn them out because the other person doesn’t understand the struggles int he same way that we can not see them struggle with our strange behaviors.
I have been UN-medicated for most of the time i have been diagnosed and I have struggled horrible both socially and personally. I tried using medication to help but instead I became a zombie on the lowest dose given. I have formed management strategies to help but since becoming a single mom, full time teacher and full time student I am falling apart again and have considered trying medication once again. I work great when I am teaching, where i fall part is school for myself and staying organized at home. I am just begiing to feel the drain of constantly feeling like I suck at life
