hi folks
i am going thro one very dark phase of depression and add right now.
Not sure what to do about it. My add seems to be rapidly growing

is any of it situational ?

It could be "environmental" , maybe you have too much to deal with at the moment...

I wonder about sensory issues If you have them and are abled to moderate them... or perhaps are gettingh a tad overwhelmed by a high sensoryneural load ?

In any case, you should see you doctor...


Me : D

Just relax..look around and see what the CAUSE of the problem is

ADD and depression do have similar symptoms. If you have ADD and then add on a dose of depression the symptoms can combine and it can make you even more forgetful.

I know this is going to sound horribly backwards but I can't stay depressed or sad any more than I can stay happy. I just sort of bounce between the two and that passage is interrupted by things I want to do. Like makes stuff and sometimes break stuff.

I don't know if this helps but being able to handle any situation is a hallmark of ADD. For me pain last about as long as pleasure does. Both fleeting. Mayber you are blessed/cursed the same way.

If you are having a really hard time and are considering hurting yourself to stop the anxiety or pain. Please please please see your doctor and tell him/her whats up. They can help.

My thoughts are with you man!
