I have ADHD and severe anxiety which makes getting/keeping a job, college, and even driving pratically impossible for me. I've tried therapy and meds but it doesn't help much. I ended up in the hospital after a previous suicide attempt and that didn't help either. Anything I could try outside of the conventional solutions?

Same, I didn't have your exact problems but these professionals are some of the most retarded, scummiest fucks alive. First of, if you survive (in almost any way shape or form) your mental stuff will most likely change. Won't necessarily get better, but it'll change. I used to have some social anxiety and now I don't have any. I can smell like shit and go shopping, say hi to an attractive grocer and not feel self-conscious (at least if I'm not on nofap or sum).

I do believe that nervousness of various kinds will get lowered, including anxiety and shit. Another thing is to have very specific goals, be very practical and always talk to yourself like you're five. "I understand that it's super annoying to write an email but be a brave boy/girl and I'll buy you a lollipop later" sort of thing.

Hope it helps.

What about changing the lifestyle instead of trying to adjust yourself to it?? A job with flexibility. A part time degree that is self paced. Advocates that can help you along the way- friends, therapists, guides, teachers. Stuff like that? Maybe a different environment is needed. Maybe you do not need fixing but the environment does.

I don't have ADHD but severe anxiety is my middle name. I am sorry... I don't have any wisdom to impart, I am barely holding it together myself. But I wanted to send you a little compassion and a (((hug))).

From my experience with ADHD/anxiety, it's from parasites, Candida, food allergies etc. if you eliminate gluten, dairy, meat, go organic and clean your system out, it's changes dramatically. Kambo is a good place to start and it kicks arse and saves time or doing parasites formulas like scram from healthforce nutritional if you want to start slow. Parasites are a massive contributor towards our emotional health but no one teaches us that. Everyone has them to varying degrees. I was on ADD meds from 8 years of age. After cleansing etc my mind worked 110% better than any Ritalin ever did.

I read the question and responded for myself, suicide isn't recovery I hope you find another way.

What's made you feel so sad if you don't mind me asking?

Have you tried meditation? I know it sounds fuzzy, but it has helped many members of this community. Won't cost you anything to try it.

The world not very kind many times. This is okay. You do what you can <3 that is enough. Just remember that there are two variables AT LEAST :p changing the environment can help. And I recognize it may not be possible etc but we do what we can. I'm glad you are looking at all options.

I hear you, can relate.

I just don't care anymore, like I really just don't give a shit about anything, love my family but yanno, that's not enough to want to live.

And even have problems with them.

Just all seems fucking pointless, I've been ill for a while now and I just cba to wake up
