I finally made a psych appointment

The thought of being on medicine sucks so bad, but i do need to try something

I hope that when ill go, ill have a heart to heart with the dr, and get a proper psychological examination.

I dont want to self-diagnose, but im afraid i show many symptoms related to those who have adhd, anxiety, and depression.

I will not take ssri, however. Tried that years and years ago, didnt work. My problem is commitment, starting something, getting distracted, and feeling hopeless. So much so that it is severly impacting my work and my professional life.

I've often thought these so called afflictions are actually the norm and it's the ones running around pretending to be happy and confident and exuberant that we need to be worrying about.

Anyway, good luck on your journey!

Life isnt always black and white.
Well....in truth it never is.

Im not in favour of meds myself, BUUUUUT . ...I wouldn't rule them out.

So many times ive heard people say its about finding the RIGHT one, or the right dose.

I do know that the symptoms of certian vitamin and mineral deficiencies can share a lot in common with anxiety, depression etc. i know - it somehow happened to me: shit life, crisis ...i fell apart.
Did meds - didnt work, got cranky with them , gave up.

But....at the same time started practicing 'self care' . Which for me was good food. Real food.

My body felt it straight away - its like it was starving for nutrition.

Three years later and i cant even describe how good nutrition has saved my sanity, my anxiety, my suicidal thoughts, how i deal with shit, (coz life never gives up on thr shit it delivers).

Im not "healed" , i have a way to go.....but i have a path.

Just a thought 🤷‍♀

@OogieBoogie i love that path. Im on it too, been cutting out a lot of extra sweets and junk food. Been eating more greens and generally healthier food and i do feel better.

Best of luck in your path as well!
