Hi everyone...
I feel so much better since my visit to the hospital!
It seems so much of my trouble was related to my ADD meds after all! Thank GOD they're working again. I went back to Ritalin from the new drug Straterra, plus some new druggs for anxiety and one for migraine headaches that also acts as a mood stablizer. I feel as good as ever except that I'm afraid to venture back out into the world again, because there is so much to rebuild. This is my fifth (I believev) episode of major depression & practically everyone I know has seen it all before. You all know what this is like. Some are afraid of you because they think you're going to go off on them or kill yourself or they're afraid others will think they're nuts if they're friendly with you. Or they think you're making it up because you're lazy or want attention or whatever. And you have to wait it all out & stay stable through it all in pite of the fact that you feel like crying everytime you see "that look" on someone's face. But I'mn healthy now. I'm back to a healthy diet, good grooming, dressing myself every morning, and riding my bike every day... and I feel I CAN work, provided they'll still have me.
So remind me... how do I go back? What do I say to my boss & coworkers when I go back to put them at ease? What do I do for myself to make it a less stressful experience?
You guys were so helpful before, I thought maybe you could help now...
Thanks for the help...
Libby
