New med, same problems

 




I started taking Ritalin last month, after Adderall failed to control my anxiety and distraction. I don't notice much difference, if any with the Ritalin. I still get distracted far too easily and find it difficult to focus when I need to. I guess Vyvanse would be next. One thing I have accomplished is recognizing when I'm bored and tempted to mindlessly eat. Food used to be a reward for me, but I've tried to replace it with taking frequent breaks and looking at my favorite websites instead. It seems to be working.

I start TMS therapy for my depression next week. I'm hoping that it was alleviate my depression so I can progress more with controlling the anxiety and ADHD. Maybe all 3 will be relived, who knows? I don't know who I am without depression; I've been depressed for as long as I remember.
