Depression.

[Goddd]

Not posting this to try to sound like an attention whore, and if you're gonna be a fucking asshole then don't bother replying to my thread or your rep will look worse than your attitude.

So lately I haven't been feeling like myself, I'm generally a cheerful and social person, but i haven't been eating. Ill eat once, maybe twice a day if I have the appetite but then I usually end up throwing it up anyway. I don't talk to anyone IRL anymore except my girlfriend. I don't text my friends, I don't speak to them at school, Ive just been keeping to myself. I never know what to say anymore, so I just don't talk. I just sit there and think about how I wanna go home and lay in bed. I have ADHD and have been taking vyvance for as long as I can remember, I spoke to this girl at my school on Facebook and she said that since I'm getting older, I'm 18, the medicine could be causing a form of depression. But quitting the medication isn't an option, I need it so I can focus in school and keep my grades up. I don't want to tell my mom because she will just tell me I'll get over it, but ive been feeling like this for weeks. Sometimes I'll just start crying for no reason, its pathetic, I know. :/

I just don't know what to do... Some feedback would be helpful. I've never been like this before and I'm scared.

talk to your mom man, you never know what the outcome may be, she might not be your bestfriend but she is your mom, she loves you more than anything. If she can't show her love thats her problem.

Same things been kind of happening to me. I've been feeling down alot. I'm usually the happy one in the group but Idon't feel like talking or interacting with any person whatsoever.

I would suggest talking to your mom or maybe to your girlfriend about it. Maybe you just need to express your feelings and change the way you think about things. I don't really know cause I'm not a therapist but I see where your coming from.

You might want to talk to your doctor man. Sounds like a side effect from the medicine..maybe your body doesn't agree with it. If you ever need someone to talk to I am right here man. Sorry about teasing you about Tristyn man ):

I take adderall for my ADHD. One of the side effects I had was loss of social interest, and it began years after starting the medicine. I suggest talking to your mother, and if it continues to seem like it's a side effect contact your doctor; even if it's not, you'll psychologically be better after confronting it. He'll probably prescribe another medicine to combat the side effect, change your current dosage, or change the medicine.

I was taking Vyvanse before as well for my disorder. I was getting tremors and shakes and having negative effects on that script. I switched to Adderol XR's and I have felt better.

Maybe also try asking your doctor about getting a small anti-depressant (cylexa) which will give you a small amount of anti-anxiety and helps you bypass the bad feelings.

Sorry to hear you've been feeling down lately. I'm gone through emotional and depressive times too. I suggest maybe talking to a lived one or your doctor. Many medicine have side effects like depression but don't kick in for years after. I have ADHD also and medicine does keep you on track but every now and then like on the weekends, you should take a break from taking it.

Hope this helps and sorry about you situation. I know how you feel.

Ahh. More drama. I'm sorry you've been feeling down though :/

I'd suggest talking to your mom man. If she says you'll get over it, deny her. Tell her, YOU won't. Talk to your doctor, perhaps he can find an alternative. Until then, do your best to talk to people. Your girlfriend may be able to help you through this, and I guarentee if you have any REAL friends, they'll help you too. Good luck out there, Roz.

@Pride, this isn't drama. He's asking for legitimate help.

You guys don't know my mom. She's the type of person to give me a slap on the wrist and tell me that its nothing to be worried about. I'm afraid to even bring something like this up because she wouldn't take me seriously and will just think I want something. @Devkit @"cann!bal" @difficult

 

[Phormick]

Do you have an adult that you can trust? Other then your mother obviously? Perhaps a counselor or a teacher that you've known and trusted for a long time?

Bro, she is your mother, if she can't tell that you are hurting you were adopted... trust me bro any mom can't stand to see their child break. Give it a try :L be real with her.

Go to the doctors and explain to them about your situation?

I've been taking ADHD medicine also for around a year now, and this is EXACTLY how I feel every fucking day.

 

[Gambino]

It seems like you're gonna have to try and stop taking your pills, at least to know if they're the cause of it or not. I mean, losing focus is a lot better than feeling terrible all the time. Bust a move man, good luck hope you get through this.

I went through a stage of depression at 15. I quit eating, I changed as a person, I lost many friends. It's harsh man.

The people telling him to go to a doctor, it's not really worth it. They charge you just for a social aspect of what your mother could do, I understand your mother isn't a viable option. Go speak to one of your teachers, preferably your favorite teacher, try not to bring anything like suicide into the discussion otherwise they have the right to put you under suicide watch. Just be careful man, many people go through this.
