My Name is Heather, I'm a 24 year old with ADHD. Growing up I had some psychological problems. I had major problems in school that caused me a lot of depression. As I got older I realized a lot of my problems stemmed from low self esteem.
I was always smart, as a child I had a genius IQ but I couldn't sit still without day dreaming. So I made a decision to do the hardest thing I had ever done try harder...and it worked..sort of. I made major strides resulting in me getting my BA degree in Arts just by the skin of my teeth. I was talented but I just couldn't do anything alone, I had problems making connections in the business world, and lacked in major areas of my study because I couldn't remember a lot of lessons.I made huge steps and managed to pull it all together by the end.

Once I came home it was like I had PTSD. I was afraid of the rejection I had already faced, the pain of not being liked by your work community, the fear of making a mistake because I couldn't do something I was suppose to know or maybe I would make a mistake, as my anxiety and depression grew I noticed again it all was connected to my self esteem ...so now I sit in my house to afraid to even go to work most day or return calls about my resume, even accepting job offers have become nerve racking .

One day as was working on my computer I saw a folder and out of curiosity I took a look in it what I found opened my eyes. As a child I had been diagnosed with ADHD, but had never known. My mother never wanted to put me on the medications (which I definitely understand after hearing for years the list of side effects) I had always wondered if I had ADHD but figured the many doctors I have had would surely have thought of that before since its so highly diagnosed.
So long story short today I started taking Vyvanse. I haven't noticed any side effects so far. But weirdly enough everything looked different. It seemed Clearer I noticed thing I normally wouldn't. I guess I felt a bit of a buzz but nothing substantial I kind of felt relaxed. I took it later in the day (I knew I shouldn't but I have been having doubts about taking it) I have a long history with psychological drugs and was afraid to go back to taking them. But I realize I cant keep living like this either so I knew it was now or never. I do feel more motivated my mind feels clearer and I can concentrate more without having to convince myself so all and all the first day seems to have gone well, I'm just hoping this keeps up.

The medication didn't work as well today to be honest I'm not sure where the day went. I hate the cold weather. I just wish it would stop snowing. I did complete a bit more in my sketch book but as that doesn't provide an income it isn't the best use of time. I'm trying to think of what inspires me in this life and while I have goals and aspirations I have to wonder what it truly is that would make me happy. I noticed I've cut off a lot of friends recently. I'm just sick of expectations. I feel like everyone's looking for a hand out and most of them have more then me to give. It reminds me of my brief life as a homeless women. the homeless community is a strange one, dangerous but generous among their own...makes you really wonder why we care for things so much. I'm thinking about hopping the rails and just going where ever I end up, Being a nomad of sorts. This life is to cookie cutter to me...sometimes I wonder if I where to leave this identity behind, would I end up in a better place where I could be myself stripped of the guilt, shame and failure. Anyways I guess the side effects today speak for themselves I'm alittle down
