So much of this I identify with and I feel such a sense of hopelessness in overcoming. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and my psychiatrist thinks I may some bipolar issues. One thing is that I am working towards trying to live a more normal life but many things often come to the surface that I have no idea how to,deal,with. My psych only controls my medication and isn’t paid to give me counsel.
One thing that’s bothering me lately is the fear that I am needy and attention seeking. I recently posted something in a FB group of my favourite band and it was a post from the lead singer of another band that he sent to me. I wanted to share this other bands music and reposted the message sent to on the FB page of my favourite band. The mods took the post down because they thought it was a “look at me and see what I got” attention seeking message. I guess it did come across like that but it wasn’t my intention. However Infind I’ve been doing this all my life with the need to be recognised … as a boy I was called a show off when I took my brothers guitar to a friends house … i was a scruffy little urchin when I was a boy, my clothes were dirty and ripped as my dad couldn’t afford many new ones. My mum died when I was 8 and I suffered so many negative experiences that destroyed my self confidence and happiness. I’m 57 now and feel so overwhelmed with so many symptoms, the self worthlessness, the lack,of motivation, the struggle,with just getting out of bed, unable to motivate myself to exercise and therefore put myself at serious risk as I’m weighing in around 16 stone with a height of 5’ 7” … feel so hopeless at times,es although I know I have made a lot of progress since diagnosis 5 years ago.
