Hello hominid, thanks for replyingNo I am not any medication. I have just diagnosed myself from a clinical psychologist..However i didnt continue to do it due to deficit of financial resources. I am student studying for an Professional exam in India called CMA. I have problems with my friends and family might be adolesence. I am always feeling down😂. Yes i have anxiety issues as well even to start any tasks

Sorry, just read this about your finances not allowing to continue with psychological treatment. Do you have/can find an older person you can trust and who has time for you? A parent, retired uncle, aunt, neighbour, old teacher? They can make good listeners and often have a lot of life experience. You could ask an old age charity if they can match you with someone if you don't know where to start. With finances I can't advise, sorry.

Ohh thats something that I can try. Thanks for the help

Do you mean a psychologist diagnosed you, or did you diagnose yourself? Do you live in India? In a city? Do you need to get a psychiatrist's diagnosis for ADHD? I mean a doctor who can prescribe medication? Can you get ADHD, Depression, Anxiety medication where you live?What about psychological treatment?

I really recommend all of it. That you see a psychiatrist for a proper diagnosis (ADHD vs something else vs ADHD plus anxiety/depression) getting medication and psychological "talking therapy". I should have used all that when I was your age and life might have been a lot better!

I had been diagnosed by psychologist. Yes i do live in Mumbai, India. Yes i do need to opt for further process. Because i dont have finances for that. I am keeping it aside. Yes i do need help. I have not taken further psychological treatment after my diagnosis. Money is problem that i am currently facing now.

Get a job?

[rememem in reply to Hominid711]

Once I am done with my examination. I am gonna àpply for job. For exam stress with family pressure its just shattering my nerves all over place. As suggested by you, i will go to talk to some elderly people.

it’s normal for me to brood on negativity and cycle. I thought this was my normal (even with anxiety meds), until I got my adhd med. things still bother me, but I can put them out of my mind for a while and focus on the moment. It helps me just breathe and not stress out constantly/hyperfixate.

[rememem in reply to Mamamichl]

That is some good advice. I am really sorry that you have to go through it. However, thanks for sharing your experience. I would try to inculcate your advice in my life. Thanks a ton
