Diagnosed with what OP?
Ligma ๐ข
No cure ๐ญ
Don't mind if I do.
In the post I'm talking specifically about ADHD, (I have crippling executive function issues) but I'll give a full list here:
edit: also sleep apnea
I have 3 of those, how many more before I get bingo?
Just a thought, but, if the treatments aren't working you could be misdiagnosed. Try seeking a second opinion
but how are they gonna be trendy online if they dont say they have a bunch of disorders and make zero lifestyle changes to accommodate?
This might not help, but it helped me a little.
Look at your relationships. Do you desire relationships? Do you put effort into those relationships? Do you find them rewarding, or stressful? Make changes to the ones that are stressful. If they become less stressful, see how that impacts the rest.
Auditory processing + fine motor control is stressful enough, I'd take steps to minimize stressor here if it were me.
In particular, I have to have 0 noise sometimes. I get those big ass power tool ear muffs slide safety goggles on and a bright vest with work gloves. You'd be amazed at how much better you feel with this "armor" on? Or at least that's what I go with. I like wearing "armor"
No one is going to ask you questions, and if they do, you can make the conversation into one you want , "sorry, I'm on a schedule, I'd really like to get this done," or "sorry, this is worksite protective gear, and I'm not onsite." or if your feel brave tell em what it's for "I wear this so I can go about my day in the same comforts as everyone else, I'd love to tell you what it all does." That's at least my plan. I don't know if it will actually work and now I'm talking myself out of doing this anymore
I feel your pain OP. I was diagnosed with GAD in 2008 and it took until this year to find meds that worked for me. Vybrid and high dose buspar worked with no side effects except increased libido
I haven't tried it myself but I hear a lot of people have luck with ketamine treatments.
Good luck.
