I've been dealing with clinical depression for a while and two psychiatrists diagnosed me with ADD. Besides this, my therapist claims I have schizoid personality disorder.
Since I moved home a few months ago, I've been experiencing this new sensation. Sometimes I see little three dimensional blue orbs floating around. Other times I see white swirls and waves going around whatever area I'm in; other times it's just black shadows floating around. I also sometimes see my room fill up with these dark sparkly lights when I'm in bed, or I see weird white patterns on my walls/door, on top of seeing inky blobs and flashing red/orange lights floating around my room.
These things always catch my attention. Since beginning 300 mg of Wellbutrin a week or so ago, it's gotten even worse. I see little red lights on top of the blue lights, and when I play guitar I see what I can only describe as particles of energy buzzing around my hand--like little flies attracted to my hand while I play.
I don't want to jump the gun with this. Maybe it's just a symptom of some of the psychedelic drugs I used while I was in college. I never experienced these things while on those drugs, though. There were never any images associated with them--just sensations.
Two possibilities: migraines or seizures. But I don't have the same visuals that accompany these. I also don't ever have any kind of memory loss or headaches. My visuals also seem to get stronger at night.
I don't think any of the professionals I'm dealing with are diagnosing me correctly. It all varies so much, and this is causing even more problems for me. Before I jump from Wellbutrin to Adderall or whatever, I'd like to actually know if I have ADD. I don't think this is it. I feel like my lack of motivation is from my depression more so than from some sort of attention deficit problems.
Sorry if this doesn't go with this particular forum. I don't know where else to put it.
