Thank you to the people on here for welcoming me and replying to my post...Things are slowly getting better for me after a very difficult time...I am now in the stages of finding the correct dosage and time to take my new medication...I have had success and some relief with it for the most part but today I am feeling a bit shaky and sick to my stomach...but honestly for all that I have survived this is not something that I will stress too much over. I metabolize medications quickly so with my adhd it is a challenge to find the appropriate dose and not again make mmy past mistake of overmedicating...I see my psychiatrist tomorrow and I am very honest with him...so I hope that goes well. Happy Mothers Day to anyone on here thats a mom !!! I am actually going to Dinner with my Mom and Father, I have not eaten in a public restaurant in about 2 years...this may also be causing me not to feel well....i was very sick for a long time and was too paranoid to do this kind of thing years ago i never thought twice about and enjoyed...so small steps for me after 4x in the hospital this past year...thx...

Good luck today, I hope you find some comfort at dinner. Good for you for even going I hope you are able to be proud of yourself, if not I will that’s ok too. We are a work in progress.

So I am in the process of many changes...all are for the positive...I am really wanting to be proactive in my mental health recovery and is why i am utilizing this site, also hope i can be of help to others as well. I have a long history and I am trying to adjust to med changes...getting over social anxiety after a medication induced psychosis that gave me alot of paranoia. I do not feel paranoid but I do not feel overly enthusiastic to be amongst groups of people which in my past and in my career that i have been disconnected from for @7 years I always thrived in...Ive had an enormous amount of isolation and today I am still living in a very isolated situation, do not any longer drive due to my reckless driving and behaviour in the past. I am volunteering (and i think i may be in a form of shock after one of the most difficult years in my life)...at a Dance Studio...I have been there now i think 3x and this is an environment I am in my past most familiar with as well as in my past always happily working with kids...I am having alot of insecurity and fear...not overly motivated but at the same time i know it rwally is a miracle i am even able to show up to this persons place of business and despite my troubles that they know some about have offered me a place to go and help kids and use some of my talents...thats where i am feeling stuck or flat...in the past before i became very sick emotionally and mentally i had alot of enthusiasm and confidence. Maybe i am just putting unrealistic expectations on myself as I am still depressed over the terrible mental health crisis i survived and am on meds but still working on the dosage, timing etc...i think i am feeling overwhelmed and i do not want to do what i have done in the past and just hide from everyone and everything...thanks for letting me rant i would love if anyone can relate to the wanting to just be well overnight...lol...as intellectually i know this is not a reality...i have patience for alot of things except myself. Thanks hope everyone has a nice weekend...
