I’ve noticed that for a few days, maybe a week or two each month (I’m bad at counting time lol) but I’m completely scatterbrained, can’t remember what someone said 2 seconds ago, can barely control what comes out of my own mouth, become lazy af and also depressed. It’s like a night and day difference to how I normally feel with this med but those few days are hell. Anyone else experience this?

I’ve been diagnosed with both VPD and APD (along with ADHD) but I’ve never met anyone else with VPD and even on Reddit it isn’t talked about much. APD seems to be more common. VPD I think is similar though, and honestly it kind of affects me more than APD (but I think my APD is more mild compared to a lot of the stories I’ve read here) like for me I have a really hard time seeing where people are pointing, I’m terrible with directions, and I’m always bumping into things. Also I tried learning sign language once and I found it to be even more difficult to learn than an auditory language, but everyone else I’ve talked to has said the opposite.

It’s so annoying lol, i like having free time (in theory) but I need a schedule to keep me from bedrotting all day. And by schedule, I mean something like work where I’m held accountable to sticking to it and there would be consequences if I didn’t show up, not making up my own schedule for the day. Not sure if this is due to my adhd or the anxiety and depression I’ve also been diagnosed with. Can any of you relate?
