I'm very scared

@GuyWithOpinions my roommate got pissed at me for trying to fix something and i thought i was okay this morning and I took my adhd medication ehich is a stimulate, now my chest hurts so badly. I cant breathe it hurts. I just wanted to study and get my mind off things. I feel like im the worst roommate ever due to my adhd. No one would want to live with me i shouldve known. The only person that was okay living with me was my dad and hes dead! It hurts so much

@Itsjustbrit life can be overwhelming. Things change with time. You got take it one step at a time.

@Itsjustbrit drink some water

@GuyWithOpinions I really am trying to drink water but i already feel like drowning.

@Itsjustbrit slow it down a bit. You need the water to flush your system. You need the calm deep breathes to calm your body and slow your heart rate. Overthinking also increases your stress so when i am dealing with panic i try to focus on different objects in the room and let go of my thoughts. Eventually your body will become stable again.

@GuyWithOpinions okay Ill focus on the toys that i was able to buy fof my child. I did my best this year. I got him really cool toys and a new kindlefire. I had to use my emergency funds because we dont have income yet. I tried my best to get toys my toddler would love

@Itsjustbrit what color are they? How do they feel in your hands?

@GuyWithOpinions well one of them is a really big toy and its has multiple colors and lights. It feels hard and a little heavy, heres a picture from o line

@Itsjustbrit right on. How do you feel about it. Are you glad you got it? Do your kids enjoy it?

@GuyWithOpinions I am really proud of myself for finding it and i havent given him it yet because it's for Christmas. But i really hope my child will love it.

@Itsjustbrit thats great! Your a good mother. I think your doing your best. Your kids must love you.

@Itsjustbrit also look at this one!

@GuyWithOpinions I only have one child and his name is John, i named him after ky dad.

@Itsjustbrit how are you feeling now

@GuyWithOpinions my chest still hurts and Im a little nauseous because i think my body is trying to get rid of what it thinks is hurting me but im breathing better and not hyperventilating

@Itsjustbrit thats good. What medication did you take.

@GuyWithOpinions you mean my adhd medication?

@Itsjustbrit yeah

@GuyWithOpinions Its called Focalin, i need to stop taling it. Its a higher concentrate than ritalin but theres a ritalin shortage right now

@Itsjustbrit i think the stimulant is causing your body to panic from the spike in energy. I used to take adderall and had similar problems. Just keep your fluids up and have food in your stomach to help dilute and absorb it.

@GuyWithOpinions yeah i was thinking the same way, but I didnt have that much of an issue with ritalin. I used to take adderall too. But focalin is more concentrated and im not used to it at all. At first it made me frowsy and passed out buf my doctor didnt believe me because stimulants shouldnt make someone sleepy.

@Itsjustbrit everything effects everyone differently. I used to know someone who drank energy drinks and would fall asleep. If your new to taking it, it might just be a week or too of your body ajusting to it or your dose is too high.

@GuyWithOpinions I started taking it in september but yeah im still pretty new to it. Yeah with my adhd, i drink coffee and energy drinks, i take a nap haha

@Itsjustbrit if this conversation helped at all you can message me when your feeling that way. Sometimes it helps just to have someone distract you from your thoughts.

@Itsjustbrit thank you so much for talking to me
