Lord, second week at college. Concerta is really helping me A LOT to concentrate...but I still fly all over around.
This last two days I've been feeling that same horrible sensation that I feel (and hate); I just can't stop my mind from popping around all the things I have to do; sometimes it is so intense that I feel like I'm gonna break down; even want to cry. I think I don't enough time, "I can't do it". It's horrible. Sometimes I write down the things that keep going around and around in my head, from homework to errands, and I realize it isn't that much; still I feel the anxiety of the world falling obove me. AAAAHHH, I just wanted to take that out.

I know exactly how you feel, Arkyle.

It doesn't help that I'm a notorious procrastinator. I find that writing down those panicky thoughts as soon as I'm having them and countering them with more realistic thoughts helps me counter the 'overwhelming' feeling I'm having and helps me gain perspective...

For me, everyday life in highschool and my daily activities basically do not allow me to breath... What I mean is that I feel constantly overwhelmed, I am not in the right place...it's as if I am trapped into a box with no room to spread my wings. Damn. When I took adderall for 2 weeks, everything just opens up, nothing is dark anymore, infinite opportunities for me arise, endless possibilities for achievement and sucess. Now that I am unmedicated, life just seems......gloomy and bland. I end up spacing out, thinking how everyone conforms into pursuing just one life style of study study study, get a job, work, and work and work and work. I have no idea how long I am able to bear this...
