Do you get these days when you can't get your self out of bed?when you don't know what is your purpose?..and maybe stay in bed all day .. what do you do ..

I lately have been struggling with my purpose. I took time to be easy on myself and slow down. I realized I needed to reconnect with who I was, and that I have spent the past year moving too fast. I joined a great depression class, as well as an ADHD class. I have once a week therapy and see my psychiatrist. I figured out my core values in life, and identified a lot of strong negative core beliefs that have been sabatoging my life. I am currently in the process of transforming those negative beliefs into positive, healthy, and supportive ones that will enable me to move forward in life. I also re-evaluated my medication, as I have been on the same regimen for 6 months now, and will address that with my psych tomorrow. Hope that helps a little, hang in there and don't ever hesitate to ask for help.

I am so happy this helped! I am currently on Vyvaance 20 mg. daily, but it stopped working 4 months ago. I will find out tomorrow morning if my request to change will be granted. The medication worked great at first, I am just guessing the dose needs to be increased, but I am not a doctor. I tried Concerta too, and that hardly helped...even worse for me was Strattera. The groups help because I am able to get out of myself, and connect with others that feel the same. I don't feel so alone. My depression class also assigns homework every week, so I bring home packets and work on tools that help me get specific with what I need and want. The ADHD class also teaches helpful skills and tools, and teaches more about what it is and how it works.

I also have an enormous amount of responsibility, and empathize with you completely. My favorite thing is to overbook myself and run around ragged. It causes a lot of anxiety for me, as well as frustration and depression. I just end up spinning my wheels. If you need anything else, just let me know!

Thank you so much actually i am. On my way now to see my doctor and i want ro change to vyvaance too i am on ritaline now and it's side effects is worst than the benefits.. It increased my bulimia too much.. My heart rate is to the ruff .. And on days when i don't take it.. i feel dizzy and frustrated.. I am. Not a doctor too but i think it's not normal to feel this way.. I just hope that vyvaance is available in europe.. And i want to find adhd classes but there are none where i live now it's not that common to have communities for that but i am still looking hoping i will find one..
