I guess Stratera is for ADD.
I'm so frustrated trying to 'be in the moment' and react WISELY. I've been through two modules of dialectical behavioral therapy, and can't say but a few things that have stuck in mind. My sister-in-law, a nurse, said it can exist outside of hereditarily too. No one in my fam' has it. But maybe they have a tendency to get it, maybe if there had been as much trauma in their lives as mine? I didn't start to feel so 'stupid' (and I hate that word) until I was much older than 19. I had a little trouble in school w/ paragraph question tests.
But now, it's really, really bad.
Feel like I'm going through DBT and not getting it.
I think I'm listening to someone, turn away, forget what they've said!
And, anger rushes out my mouth w/o analyzing my situation; usually brought on by some sort of invalidation.
I really need to learn these DBT skills, but how can I ? when I can't learn ? tks sm
> yeah, i have been diagnosed with BPD and i have symptoms of ADD. ADD does run in the family, but i only developed these symptoms since age 19, so no one will diagnose me with ADD. My pdoc said it could be the meds i am on, since i have been on them or other ones for 4 years now. i can't sit through a movie at the threatre or read for more than 30 pages at a time. i feel scatterbrained. I can't remember details very well and have a hard time organizing in general. really, i fear that it was the pot i smoked for a summer two years ago. it probably brought this out, from a genetic vulnerability to it. it sucks. my pdoc says that the wellbutrin i am on should help, andit does a little i guess. i wish i could try an actual ADD med, but i haven't brought it up yet.
