At 19, I was diagnosed with ADHD and have been on meds for it ever since. It’s been quite helpful to feel normal. In August 2024, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and chronic depression. I was out on something to treat both. It helped with the anxiety but not the depression.so I was given something else, in addition to the meds for anxiety. The additional meds were helping, but I was worried that it about how much weight I had been gaining. So, we switched to Wellbutrin. I think it worked for a little while but stopped working. We’ve gone up on the dosage but it hasn’t worked out that way. I do plan on mentioning it the dr when I go back l at the month.
The hardest part is not wanting to get out of bed to go to work. It takes so much energy. I do go to work, but on the weekends, it’s, been hard to get out of bed, clean, do laundry, etc. On my days off I’ve stayed in bed for almost half the day. I haven’t used my rowing machine in about 2 months and I love it. The best I’ve been able to do is to go swimming I just don’t want to do anything all. Literally stay in bed. If I could sleep for most of the day I would…with my cats by my side.
You feel like a smoldering wick, almost out. Not to blow you out for your lack of light; but to gently shield you and nurture your flame back to health. He will not break you for struggling; the Lord will uphold you, my brother 💝💝 Matthew 12:20
It's a long and arduous journey but it sounds like you are actively working on it. You are doing well, you just need to keep pushing and doing well. Things may never be perfect, but they can get better.
