Yes I have dx of anxiety for which I take 5 mg of Valium as needed. I don't like to take it too often. I also have a dx of depression for which I take 150 mg of Wellbutrion. So, to answer your question I do get quite anxious a lot and my mind thinks of a million different thing at once. It is so hard some times to differentiate my anxiety from ADD. It is like they go hand and hand. Kind of like the chicken and the egg question, which came first? I find it strange how I behave at times. Like I put things off, like work tasks, so they can build up. Once it is built up enough then my mind is totally stimulated to do a superb job. When I don't have, what I think, is enough external stimuli then my mind goes to a completely different planet!!

I do need more exercise. I get some but with pretty much everything in my life, I am bad at procrastinating. I think, yes...yes I will walk today then I make too many excuses not to!!

Thanks for listening to me. I find it helpful just to talk about. I have come to terms that my mental illness will be with me for life. I am just constantly trying to reach out and learn better coping mechanisms.

The world sees me as an intelligent, strong, hard working person but it totally contradicts what I have going on in my head!! I guess over the years I have done a good job hiding things. But the stupid ADD has always interfered with relationships with others. People think I am a snob or ignoring them or just a weird o that stares a lot...lol
