I am so scatterbrained it, at work i leave piles of stuff out and forget about them.
But here is the real situation. My mom says your not motivated to go to collage. Dammit! yes i am but im not being treated right! she took me off my medication, saying that i had problems with it, and actually, Dextrostat.... helped alot. If you read about why she took me off then you know. I have asked her repeated times that please will you let me go back on for a trial run. "No and Never" I will see that a doctor will never prescribe you stimulants again. She is overthe top, crazy, she cant take life herself, she know is thinking you dont want to go to collage do you? I Swear i have to something. I tried to get help from a psychiatrist who did treat me and know she is gone crazy and never ever wants me on dextrostat again.
I have been on Strattera (non-stimulant, non addictive) Wellbutrin, it doenst have the benefical effects of stimulants, in concetration wise. I dont know what the hell to do.
I am stuck here at home, feeling im trapped.
What is going to happen. Do i have to get a job with benefits and move out, no then she will go to the doctor and say no he has a history of abuse. I need to call the doctor and tell him what happened and he will listen, its legitimate, before she does this.
I am so disorganized i cant get work done, i want to stick my head in the toilet and leave it there. Nevermind, ill pass, the pool. Anyways.
I cant, i am so lost when im writing papers, i feel there is something not "stimulated" in my head. Low throyid? Well i am hell frustrated enough to post this post.
I feel, i cant do anything right now. There is so much conflict that will happen in the future that i am going to have deal with. I dont know how to cope with this.
This is my whole danm life, its not just a psychostimulant to help, its all of it!
I so glad i dont drink.... that would be another problem after the 1000's of them.
I wished everthing would just go good. There are so many people here who seem have more stable lives than me. I am holding on to a psychological bridge that is rocking.
What else should i say.....good night.
Matt

Matt a job and benefits sounds like a good idea for a while. You're young maybe a few months to year off from school? Just a suggestion. Love Phillipa

You know, if you had a job with benefits, you could get a doctor who your mom didn't know and then she couldn't go to him...
Lots of ifs there, but you could do it...

Matt, what do you want from us right now? Are you looking for support? (You should probably post those on Social, by the way.) If so, how about giving us a better idea of what that would look like for you.
Do you want medication advice? That doesn't seem to be it, since you seem pretty clear about what you want, medication wise.
Advice for how to improve your situation through behavioral interventions? We've given you that advice, some of it many times. We'll give it again, but maybe if you're more clear with us on this board about what it is you're looking for when you post like this, -- well, maybe we can help you more effectively. Right now, sometimes I don't respond to you, because I have nothing new to say to you -- I feel as though I've already given you some pretty good advice, but I don't always feel you've taken it in. Can you see why I might feel that I wasn't able to help you?
Good luck, Matt.

I agree with Racer. I'm not sure what you want that has not already been offered. Over the years, I've seen many good suggestions given to you in various ways by many different posters with good and caring intentions, IMO.
If venting is what you need to do - that's fine - but know it can be quite frustrating (and somewhat confusing) when someone posts over and over the same problem followed by: "Help me".... It's very confusing to me anyway.
Board postings are limited in to what can be offered to what can be typed in a post- that IS the limit.. What you do with those suggestions is up to you and you are the only one that can be proactive about yourself.

Its that simple. Alot of people here to not know what i AM going through at home. Danmmit do I have get a recorder and put it on a website to hear what goes on in this house. And excuse me in not at home im at school. I dont and feel very angry sometimes because people dont understand what i am going through.
There was a really good post my notfred called "plan of action" you know im goning to go back and try to find that, get out of this house.
Ok, i have been told so many times that im looking for my own med. Im on Xanax 6mg for christ sake! and the doctor didnt just put me on it, it took 2 years until he decided it was the medication that i needed, I was on on Klonopin .5mg X 3 daily in 2003-2004 Ativan 1mg X 3 daily 2004, then Ativan 2mg X 3 daily, in 2005.I have been put on Zyprexa for trying to stay stable. I have been through MANY antidepressants. Let me go down this list....
1.I cant rerember.
2. Wellbutrin 300mg XL
3. Cymbalta 30mg
4. Prozac 20-uped to 30.I feel if i stay at home, which i have had a breakdown at home which my mother didnt bother but harrass me during it, my parents wouldnt not let me out of the house, i almost got violent, my stepdad stalked me, i finally got an ax and said one more foot near me and its it. I didnt because i knew that was wrong, i would go to jail, i gave up. I feel i have given up at home.
They wont let me take the car either if i move out.
What next? my mom said if you have antoher breakdown im calling the police. Well then first THEY will find out that she has been harrassing me, even though i have yelled at her back.
I cant.......i cant have another danm breakdown. It causes depression after words, severe depression.
Im going to have to do something durastic.

Matt, I don't think people here are disbelieving you. Speaking for myself, I believe absolutely that you are accurately reporting your perceptions of what's going on. I do believe you.
What I was asking, Matt, in my earlier post, was what I could do here, in writing, that would be helpful to you? (And if there's nothing I can do, feel free to tell me that, too.) I can't drive to Texas to sit your mother down and explain another perspective to her; I can't take you into my house and play Mommy; I can't write you a prescription for any medication; I can't tell your mother to get into family therapy; I can't do any of that, so writing on this board is all I can do. What is it that you want me to write, what can I tell you which will help you?
Frankly, I've already given you my best advice, several times now. I'll offer it again, if you ask for it -- but if I do, I'd like you to tell me what you understood from what I wrote. Just to show me that you understood what I was trying to get across. You tell me if that's worth it to you or not.
Good luck, Matt.

Sometimes catharsis is all that is needed.(And maybe as much as not realized.) That's the feeling I get in Matt's case. The board doesn't ultimately have to have a therapeutic answer.(I remember Doc. Bob mentioning this.)
