A Rough Day

[GBeas]

Having a rough day. Woke up with the feeling of intense fear and cried off and on because I left so scared. It took me a few hours to calm myself down along with taking a couple of Clombazam (emergency medication my doctor prescribed). Over the past couple of months I have noticed my already poor motivation become even more lacking to the point where I have not done any housework, dishes or laundry in two months. Only recently (about a week ago) did I manage to unpack my suitcase from a trip I took in July. I have stopped wearing makeup to work and shower the least amount possible (about every 4 days). I know I need to change my life to be more socialable and get involved in activities of interest rather than sit at home all the time watching TV but the problem is I have no energy by the time I am done work I am exhausted and on weekends I feel tired too. The thought of getting dressed, and presentable to see a friend or go to a coffee shop on the weekend is just too much work. I know I should do this as it would be good for me to socialize and get out of the house. One of my close friends who I have confided in about what has been going on over the past few months thinks I need to talk to my doctor as she thinks I am at a breaking point. I don't want to talk to my doctor because all the doctor does is put me on more medication and I feel like I am already taking enough medication and at a high dosage. Anyhow, that is where I am at today.

"Benzos" don't help with ADD symptoms in my experience! Rather, they make it MUCH ... MUCH ... MUUUUUCCCCCHHHH worse. I suggest you talk with you doctor and look at Ritalin or Adderral. The meds to 'calm' you down and quiet the mind ... work ... that is your problem ... your being medicated wrong! Tell your doctor that the meds don't work.
