Hi everyone,
I have chronic depression, anxiety, and ADHD that was diagnosed in my late 20s.(I'm in my early 30s now).Outwardly i am very successful except for being obese. I have a good job, a husband, and a daughter who just turned 1. But I just never seem to feel right no matter what I do. I moved recently to a new town and I have a new pdoc. It took my old pdoc years to come up with an ADHD diagnosis, but when he did it really seemed to fit. My new pdoc is convinced that all my problems are related to my ADHD. He has me on a stimulant and it's like he wants that to cure all my problems or I should go off of it. I think it does help but I am definitely still depressed and anxious. And I also discovered I have thyroid issues, and I am working to get that treated. They just increased my Med dose.
But anyway, it's so weird. I like my job and it's a good one, although there are some things about it that make me feel overwhelmed. But generally I do better on days when I am working and busy. It's like I don't really want to go to work but if I am busy I do better. My husband and I are both kind of home bodies and we don't do much on weekends. But I always find myself getting anxious or depressed and having some kind of a breakdown almost every weekend. I know the obvious answer is to keep myself busy but it doesn't seem to work. I guess I don't try hard enough to do it. Instead I just allow myself to be overwhelmed by chores that didn't get done during the week. Does anyone have a problem with their symptoms worsening on weekends? It is so depressing that the time I have to live my life and do what I want to do is spent feeling like crap most weekends. Thoughts?
