Adderall. Anonymous 08/07/15 (Fri) 12:53:13 No.11154

Hey /mental/,

I'm a mild fuckup. I'm a 20y/o essentially skilless neet in a transitional period. The only really good thing I have going for me is that I'm not in any debt. Recently I tried some adderall, and it made me feel the way I think I'm supposed to feel. Sharp, focused, and energetic. I don't want to be a druggo, but I think having a prescription for adderall or something similar would increase my quality of life greatly.

My sister was diagnosed with ADHD back in elementary school, and I think took some meds for it for a while. My dad noted my trouble with school and suggested I might have it too, but I shot the idea down out of shame.

From my quick research, I fit all the criteria for the 'Inattention' arm of ADHD, but neither the Hyperactivity or Impulsivity. I procrastinate, can't pay attention for crap, find it impossible to get organized, and I get distracted very easily.

I'm not even sure what I'm asking. Am I just looking for a diagnosis so I don't have to blame myself for my current lack of success? Does anyone have any input?

See a psychotherapist, they can help with fixing your life.

Also I'm pretty sure you're fine when it comes to mental illness. You might just have been raised badly.

Psychotherapy? But I'm not a rich soccer mom.

>>11156

I guess I would say so. Can I fix the damage? Is it too late to develop discipline, work ethic, organization..?

It's difficult to change that stuff yourself, you need someone else to help.

I thought I fit many things in ADD before, but I shrugged it off. Now I know I have it.

Go see someone.

A psychologist may help.

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't helped by a psychologist. My bad.

Well I'm just worried that they'll tell me whatever I need to hear in order to get me to buy drugs. I'm basically certain I have depression as well so I'm worried about becoming a druggo zombie. Is it worth the risk?

Unless you're committed, you cannot be forced to take any medicine. State that you do not wish to use medicine.

>Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't helped by a psychologist. My bad.

ive been to countless doctors, many psychologists/psychiatrists and hypnotist. nothing has worked for me. im still just as weak as i was when i was a child and im slowly becoming more emotionally unstable.

im happy that you've at least found something and im sorry if i offended you. yes, there are good psychotherapists out there but ive yet to meet them in this shitty town. i cant help but feel like my own personal experiences are enough to give an opinion to op.btw if anyone from aus is serious about suicide hit me up at 4B06200F665554F84A3D23331C99F5B41D61B821F0A556C145F531C70A6AE17C78714AD67720
