i’m on session 18/30 and i’ve been feeling an emotional dip for the last 4 days. my first emotional dip was around the 7-10th session, i started feeling better after that, but my mood started dipping around session 15.
are multiple mood dips normal? it’s making me extremely anxious because it feels like i’m reverting to my extremely depressed state and i cannot go back to that.
i was recently diagnosed w predominantly inattentive adhd and was given ritalin 18mg to try, to help my focus and give me the energy needed to combat my treatment resistant depression. i also have bpd anxiety and suspected autism.
today’s my second day on ritalin and i feel nothing, no increase in energy or focus, i think i feel more tired than usual and have spent the whole day in bed. yesterday i was able to force myself to the gym after procrastinating the whole day but no improvement in my focus or energy.
i was feeling so hopeful to try stimulants as antidepressants haven’t helped me (im currently having rTMS to combat treatment resistant depression) but now i just feel frustrated :(
did anyone else have this? i really want these meds to work >_>
I have predominantly inattentive adhd, BPD, anxiety, depression, dpdr, and possibly autism. Antidepressants and antipsychotics have never helped me and i’m realising now that it’s probably because i’m not depressed ive just had untreated adhd. aim currently halfway through rTMS treatment for my depression and anxiety
what should i expect for my first time taking this medication? what were the mental effects like, and did it make your brain eerily quiet? i struggle w dissociation and a (super) quiet mind freaks me out…
also, is there anything i can do to improve the effects?nice read that eating something with protein before taking it is good, and i know to drink lots of water
hi, i’m currently on session 8/30 and i was wondering how tms has effected your internal monologue
i think depression and dissociation has already made my thoughts and internal narration quite distant and quiet, but im curious how tms could potentially reawaken my internal voice, and make me more receptive to the things going on around me enough to be making internal comments on things - by decreasing my depression and allowing me to feel emotionally connected to things and find things interesting to be curious about
did tms change your internal monologue?
