I'm so lost lately, I don't know what to do. My emotions are going off the charts... sometimes I'm depressed, sometimes angry,sometimes overly happy. I'm trying to keep my relationship with my fiancee in Canada together, who is also going throuhg emotional problems and we're not sure what kind. I don't know if I'm on the right meds. I'm just fallen and I'm having trouble getting up this time... I guess.

Your not a dorkhead, your human. I've often felt that way myself and it always turns out that something minor is bothering me deep in my subconscious (keep in mind that is only me). It could very well be your meds the only way to find out is to speak to you physician and see what he says. Don't suffer in quiet but ask and ask again until something is done. Have you considered talk therapy? many of us have found great success thru talk therapy, its nice to share your feelings and not feel judged.

Good luck,
Cherity

I'm seeing a psychologist but that just started Tuesday. Maybe I need more patience?:confused:

Couldn't we all do with a little more patience. Its hard tho when you feel awful. Did you bring about the question about your meds? My psych had me stop taking the anti-depressants my medical provider had me taking since it was only treating a symptom and not my disorder. I felt a lot better once I stopped the anti-depressants but then I wasn't depressed but the ADD symptoms I was describing are very big indicators for depression. Which you could be suffering form depression and need another med. It's all confusing that is why I would get support for what you are going thru in the forum but leave the meds and dx's up to your medical professionals. big hugs!!

I also have bi-polar w/ mood disorder. That's what meds I'm on.

I'm tired of being called something new every other week... it seems. Since 2000 I've been schizoidal type then bi-polar, becaues they thought it schizo-effective was wrong. They are from a different town than the one where I was diagnosed with ADD. I've not been treated for that since 98.:(

I can't see my psychiatrist until March 24th, she's so booked up.:(
I was fine when i stopped talking to my psychologist, but now am down in the dumps.

It's starting to affect my mood and I've yelled on the phone at my fiancee, who also is going through problems. I'm just tired of everytime I try to do something right it comes out wrong.:(

Does it help to know that you're not the only one riding in that boat? I almost burned my house down today because I turned the kettle on, left the kitchen, and completely forgot about it. ADD at it's worst can leave one confused, upset, and frustrated. Medication or not.

I feel like such a f%king idiot not because of ruining my wife's favorite tea kettle, but because of what could have happened, but didn't. These little things are what remind me to stop, slow down and start paying attention. I often times get so wrapped up in work, and in *yessing* everyone in my world, that I don't stop to think about number one (me). When one is tired and burnt out (especially from ADD overdrive)....it's all to easy to lose focus.

I hope your depression lifts soon. It can be a real bummer I know. I fight it off very well somedays, and then it creeps up again. My personal answer to all this is to take some time to chill now and again. We are all meant to be happy. Part of talking about stuff that bothers you is one of the keys to finding it. Be well.

Perhaps its not just one thing that you can just pinpoint. Perhaps it a bunch of little things that all add up. My guess is that you may be a little worried about you relationship with your girl. When you say were not sure what kind of emotional problems, is it that you dont know, she dosnt know or your worried about something worse. Some thing like your sixth sense kicking in telling you something aint right. One of my biggest problems is worring about something that I have no control over, I know that I cant do anything about it but I still worry all the same.

One second, one moment, one day at a time. Try not to worry about something that you dont control.

Write your fiancee a letter. It might make you feel better, and you can make up for having yelled at her. You'll be fine... there are plenty of nice people who really care what happens to you (I am one), even if we don't know you very well.

You said your engaged ! Man that's Stress ! am I doing the right thing or not ! I remenber that sinorio. If you can get with a marrage countslor both together and have a good talk or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 ............. . It dosn't matter if your oppisits or together on everthing , what matters is that your going into this marrage with eyes wide open and understanding that each is an indivial with their own set of baggage. She may have more than you or you may have more than her but you need to share it. If you haven't already.
