> See my doctor has no problem at all with me being on presciption anti-anxiety (tranquilizers) because i can get really going. But he will not go for stimulants. I just dont know how im going to cope.....plus with mommie dearest trying to control my life but at the same time she wants me to "leave the nest".
>It sounds as though you feel pretty powerless in many areas of your life right now. You seem to feel that your doctor is the only one who has any power regarding your mental health issues, and your mother has power over the other aspects of your life. That's not a good feeling.
Here's the thing: you do have power over many aspects of your life. The more energy you devote to focusing on what you can't control, the less you have left to use more productively.
You get to choose how you spend your energy and how you use your power. I believe you have the capacity to choose well. I hope you make a wise choice for yourself.
