I seen pdoc and told him all that I have been feeling about depression, negative thinking, and I also brought up about my forgetfulness and having a hard time concentrating on my studies. He asked me some questions and DX'd me with ADD. He Rx'd Adderall. He wants me to start taking it only on my school days, which are only Tues & Thurs. I just took one because I want to see what it will do. I don't want to take one tomorrow morning and not be able to drive or something. He has me on a low dose for now. I am hoping it gives me some pep. Pdoc said to stay in school, even if I fail. I need to learn to push myself harder when I am down.


Tdoc was good today. She made me realize I am living in the past. I am letting myself feel the way I did as a young child, abandoned, neglected, not encouraged, and so on. It is making me want to curl up and hide from the world and I can't do that.


I need to kick my own butt and make myself do what I need to do. Tdoc also said I need to STOP all this negative thinking...I know this. She wants me to write down everyday for 2 weeks all the good qualities about myself, nothing negative, even if I repeat the same ones, she just wants me to write them.


I am feeling a little better since I seen my pdoc and tdoc today. I really hope this Adderall helps. Please say a prayer for me.


I am going to start trying to be more positive again...it's been awhile since I have.
