living with inattentive ADHD and anxiety (Strattera day 19 update) 

You are amazing 👍 I dropped out of high school now I’m 56 years old I’m divorced I can’t hold a job. Doctors put me on antidepressants for the past 20 years with no improvement. My life is shit, who would be depressed. I was diagnosed in 1975 with hyper activity the didn’t have meds for it back then. I just started Strattera today, wish me luck. 🤞

This helped me so much with my imposter syndrome about my own inattentive ADHD! The way you described your struggle with focusing was so similar to how it feels for me and I am also a college student who gets typically good grades but procrastinates likes there’s no tomorrow. Thank you so so much for sharing your experience!!

I understand what are you going through i just got diagnosed with inattentive adhd. I live in egypt where's there is no knowledge whatsoever about the condition now i understand why iam depressed and anxious now I understand my failure at shcool and college even though they told me i have great potential but all i wanted is to live in the dream world and day dream all the time and my addiction was movies tons and tons of movies always repeating watching the same movies few times . Now i understand and. I'm filled with regret i feel i missed out on lots of opportunities missed out on life in general i was addicted to hashish and nicotine and sometimes liquor now i am addicted to nootropics always looking for new nootropic supplements to enhance my attention and now my constant simulation is smart phone and asmr videos. My parents didn't understand my teachers didn't understand no body understood i felt so envious of others for being so motivated to study and work hard . I felt ashamed of my self i have acquired English language just by watching movies and listening to music every body was amazed how i was able to do that in short span of time but i do terrible at school. I guess one of the hardest things in life that's nobody understands what are u going through. Now am 32 and I'm trying.

U are so AMAZING and so COURAGEOUS. Thanx for sharing your personal story. That takes guts 👌☺️🌷

That’s right. Been judged, and judged myself all my life. Like I was choosing this - not

You are so brave, I have mild left sided cerebral palsy. And I have ADHD inattentive. I did a college course on singing, it helps with the controlling breathing, and good fun getting it wrong. People don't believe I have cerebral palsy, because I speak clearly just like yourself. Be proud of any achievement you make they all add up.

Highly recommend putting this video at 1.75x speed. I do not have the focus for this 😂

Thanks for sharing. It is very interesting. I myself don't have ADHD(my psychiatrist says). But I have schizophrenia. My brain is a bit different and also have trouble focusing and starting tasks. But I usually tell people I have ADHD. People understand ADHD better than the changes to the brain and its effects on schizophrenia.I am now suspended from class at the moment for owing too many assignments. Trying to work on it.

Strattera makes peeing extremely difficult but I am still on week one. Try 5-HTP (increases serotonin) and L-Tyrosine (increases Dopamine)

Thanks for your video from another ADD just - realised person

omg props to you for doing 4 months of chemistry in 5 weeks. I couldn't do it, I really couldn't I procrastinate too much. I need it all spread out lol even though it's technically longer torture. and I need to take *only* that one class 😂

Thank you for sharing, this helped me a lot

Thank you for this review by the way.

I hold my breath to and it does make anxiety worse

It is not laziness !!! You end up in fight with yourself !!

Thank you for this video

Im life insurance and I have a big opportunity to get alot of sales I’m asking why unmotivated when there’s an open door to a new beginning hopefully this can help or gave me pump

U r great ,best of luck !!

Did you try taking the medication at night? Seem to help a lot of other people

Oh! I was holding my breath and clenching my stomach when you mentioned that ! I jus relaxed it. Ha

is it hard for you to sleep.

In conclusion, is atomoxetine effective in inattentive adhd? (My english is very basic)

Yeah it’s fight flight or freeze fir sure. But I don’t think it’s caused by itself. It’s not a symptom of anxiety either I don’t suspect. They don’t come out of nowhere I can’t accept that line from the modern doctors mate. Anxiety is not the cause of my tight tummy. And anxiety don’t feel is a disease. It’s a symptom fir me - a symptom of the stuff that goes through my head. Always thinking bad stuff - and believing it. That’d make anyone anxious. Also, I think we must be kinder to ourselves than than, regardless this issue of anxiety and depression. It’s SO rife in the world now, that isn’t it more responsible to suspect that the way the western world is actually living and structured, which is making life untenable? And thus causing anxiety. Ive got some help at least with my diseased thinking. But I know that (I’m sixty) I’m watching younger people your age be under pressures to be judged constantly, that we never DREAMED of when I was young

My son needs Strattera, unfortunately it is not available in Morocco.😥 The doctor told me that you can get it from outside the country. Can you help me please?

I just gotta prescribed starterra I hope it works
