How does a person stay upbeat or motivated?

Posted by rskontos on November 5, 2008, at 13:35:37

I have noticed lately my ups and downs are too much for me to deal with. I told my T/pdoc and he upped my wellbutrin. So far ain't helping.

I have a history of AD's doing nada, zippo for me. I had my neurotransmittor levels measured and I know which ones are high and which ones are low and trying to take stuff for that but still no help.

Yesterday for example, for a while I thought I can take on the world and then the next hour the sky is falling.

Yesterday, I was all for going back to school to get a second degree.

Today it seems impossible. For one thing, the requirements I believe are just not possible for this messed up brain.

It is one thing for my p-doc/therapist to think I have the brain power. But perhaps I have him fooled.

what if I fail. Failure is just not permitted.

Isn't it better to just not try something than to fail.

I guess today I just feel like their are too many things I have failed at doing. Hell I can't even keep myself going day to day.

I am so tempted to mail in the notice to the school and say no I am not coming so take me out of program.

I am so scared. I am crying off and on. I feel like life has just passed me by. I feel damaged beyond belief. And I feel like the degree I do have is worthless. What was Vanderbilt thinking when they gave that to me?

Ok I will stop my pity party unless someone else wants to join me. I hate it when I sound even to myself that I am whinny.

I have no clue what to do. I have people calling me about job interviews but I don't want to do those jobs. I should take my resume down until I figure out what I want to do.

The problem is I still don't know what I want to do.

It is possible I will drift forever

forever damaged

forever feeling like I was messed up and can't recover enough

even to figure out how to make my life mean something now to me.

I can't stop the echoes of the past inside my head. I sleep hearing it and I wake up hearing it. And then I am powerless to
stop the past from destroying the future I am trying to set up.

And yes I have told him, my t/pdoc this. He thinks I should just take a class and it will help.

But for me, just a class or even 3 as he told me to take won't help because I have some classes I just know I won't be able to manage. My brain just miss fires sometimes. I feel my memory is still on the fritz.

So how can I go back. ok, I know I sound scared. I am. I am scared to death. I want to do well.

well I thought this would help but all it made me do is cry.

thanks for listening.

I am sorry so many threads I want to answer but can't.

I do care about each one of you. I wish I could help all.

just can't help myself either.

take care all

rsk
