Good morning everyone!It's a humbling moment when I see myself declining or regressing! I was diagnosed with ADHD in Jan.2024 and started on stimulants currently on Vyvanse 20mg every other day. Got some ADHD coaching . There is an improvement in memory and focus. However, my social/emotional/ communication skills are bad! I do not believe myself anymore because I discovered that I was blind to the reality facts! I discovered how confusing and unclear conversation I had/have and how I don't really understand what is being said to me! My anxiety, and stress started to increase again( I'm in meds for anxiety) so because of my age my doctor told me that premenopause is messing me psychologically rather than physically and she started me on HRT. Guess what? Depression kicked in and bleeding also!

While I'm in this roller coaster my marriage ( now almost 4 years) which was already strained and on a rollercoaster started to be very painful to my husband! My understanding of his emotions is not good plus I have no clue what should I do to reconcile!

When I look back like 10 or 15 years ago, I was totally another woman! Where did myself go? Who I'm now?

I'm trying to get a full-time psychological assessment to see if there is something else!

Life doesn't stop her surprises! We human beings should be humble as we are under the mercy of some chemicals that could steal our moral values even without knowing it's happening.
