Hi guys, I thought the hair pulling thing was interesting…my son did it when he was very young, he grew out of it, but we are still dealing with issues.
I looked this thread up, because i am now on wellbutrin for Seasonal Affective Disorder AND ADD. This is my third day and i feel AMAZING!!!!! this could be the relief from depression, but i am loving the new energy. Today was the first day in months I didn’t take a nap lol
Also, as far as household chores, not only did I do the laundry, never a problem…but i got it folded AND put away! Woohoo! Usually, I can push the laundry through…but folding? Nope. I get distracted. Dishes, no, scrubbing toilet, yes, vacuuming, yes, dusting, no. That whole sustained concentration bites me in the butt everytime lol its not for lack of trying. To top that off, I’m a bit OCD, and everything should be in its place, and should be done a certain way. When i was single and lived alone, no problem: eat on dish, wash dish, put away dish. When you add children, significant others and family into that mix….look out! I get bitchy, and eventually just avoid the whole thing. It builds and builds and you guessed it, I get overwhelmed and shut down.
Not fun. I am trying everything I can to help me and than i can help my son even more 🙂

I have been self medicating with alcohol, marijuana or meth my entire life it seems. Marijuana and alcohol was an accepted social thing my whole family did. I turned to alcohol as an older teenager, then meth by the time i was 21. I ended up using it intravenously until I was 23. I was clean for almost 14 years before i relapsed this last summer. Thank god i didn’t start the needle again. But i knew I was self medicating. While everyone else was bouncing around, I felt calm, centered and not so scattered. Scary stuff. I quit again, and spent the winter being depressed, mean, and anti social.
My advice is get some help. It’s bloody hard as hell, but you can ruin your life. I’m scared of being slave to a drug, wether legal or not. But i cannot risk my family.
You can do this! Thanks for listening 🙂

Haha, I had to laugh @ geoduck, I was thinking the same exact thing 🙂
So, hi! I am new here, and just got my diagnoses teusday, its now Friday, and day three of my medication. I am also suffering guilt, shame and a bit of now what the heck do I do?? I am in a relationship with a wonderful man whom I PISS off constantly, but he understood my condition before I would even admit it…and well he is still HERE. Bless his heart lol
I am also a single mom of two AMAZING kids, my daughter 19, who is typical, and my son almost 14, severe ADHD. In trying to help him, I realized, hey I know exactly what it feels to go through that…
I thought i was just a malfunction in the universe. Turns out, I need to help myself haha.
I amazingly graduated highschool, and got a degree in veterinary medicine as a vet tech. With out meds, and many tries of antidepressents. Anyone here take those and they just make you worse, not better????
But here’s to hope, you are not alone and neither am i. Whew.
Nice to meetcha 🙂
