I just became a Christian and prayed day and night to feel better from the bondage of depression and anxiety and it happened an answer to prayer
I began to listen to Charles Stanley who brings the word of god alive to me..I figured out I have adult ADD and now I can actually read my bible without my mind drifting somewhere else..
Here is my story
!
for 2 years I was trying to figure out what was going on and not knowing what was causing the depression and anxiety was freaking me out..I actually was disappointed when I had a physical and the doctor said I was healthy because I wanted to find out what was wrong so I could fix It.
This may sound strange but I would have rather they found a tumor or dare I say cancer because it would at least gave me a reason for my depression and anxiety and then I could put together a plan of attack on finding a cure..
I am 55 years old now and back when I was in school no one ever heard of ADD back then we were just considered lazy or stupid it's sad but true..
My son has ADD and my brothers son has it as well so genetics plays a roll and when I think back to when I was younger all the impulsive things I did now makes a lot of sense..
The Zoloft did work for anxiety but all I wanted to do was sleep and had no motivation or desire to do anything..I actually stopped taking the Zoloft all together and did not experience one side effect and no I am not suggesting anyone to do that but I just didn't need the medication.
Here is the ironic twist my son has ADD and has been on Focalin for 2 years so what I actually needed was right in front of me all this time but the struggle and suffering I guess was necessary and gods plan so maybe I can help someone else like me in the future..
I used to take wellbutrin and it did help but gave me the jitters the Focalin just makes me feel normal and alive with hope and motivated without the racy jitters it's very clean. My insurance company has not approved it yet and 1 months supply is $400 and even if the insurance company refused to pay the medication is so good I would find a way and pay out of pocket and I have no money right now but that is how good I feel when I take it.
Good luck to all and may god bless everyone if you feel like your doctor is not helping you or you have been misdiagnosed find another doctor if they do not want to hear about ADD because it was my therapist who said to me after I told her that I have never read a book because my mind drifts and I cannot remember a sentence she said you probably have ADD and at that moment a light went off. Good luck all and may god bless if anyone has any questions or comments by all means ask !
Maybe it was gods plan for me to wander for 2 years to seek a personal relationship with Jesus so maybe I will be in a better position to help others.
Focalin within 2 days made me feel the following
Complete elimination of anxiety
Normal, clear thought process
Much better ability to express emotion
Creativity through the roof
Excellent motivation
Great enjoyment in nearly everything
Far greater social life due to increased confidence and ability to think (easier to converse, give advice, offer solutions etc)
I realize not everyone will feel the same but I guess that is what happens when you get the right medication.
