The two are often linked. I was on anti depressants many years ago, long before I was ever diagnosed ADD. Too often (especially in women) The feeling of failure that stems from not understanding why we can't function leads to depression, which is diagnosed and treated without ever discovering the underlying ADD. I would never have been diagnosed if a friend who also has it hadn't talked to me about it and suggested a doc. Having been through the depression and having seen my mom suffer most of her life with it (which I also think is ADD related) I can say now that I don't think it's a big problem for me. I get down sometimes, but I haven't been genuinely depressed in many years. Not "need meds" depressed. Learning about my ADD has helped as much as the meds did, to be honest. Knowing what's going on is half the battle for me! I can live with my own bizarre behavior and thought process as long as I know it's not just because I'm stupid, there's a reason for it and I can make the effort to cope on bad days and work through it on good days. The side effects of the meds were so bad that I don't know if I ever want to go back on them, but I suspect when I get back in the workforce it will be a necessity.<br /><br />And for the record, dinner was AWESOME. Score one for me and the sausage pasta! I will persevere!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583345006222445551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523877673747146263.post-18997864247557216572011-04-13T17:07:22.783-05:002011-04-13T17:07:22.783-05:00Do you think an antidepressant would help?

I am totally ignorant when it comes to ADHD so that may have been a totally stupid suggestion but I know that one of my major issues, in addition to fatigue, has been lack of focus and forgetfulness and both antidepressants I've taken have helped with that tremendously. And my meds have been very affordable. <br /><br />Do NOT neglect yourself. Maybe it is an extra expense, but you can't put a price tag on your sanity. You know as well as I do that mamas don't get much downtime. We gotta do what we gotta do to be our best. Even if it isn't ideal.<br /><br />And girl, you are a great friend. Just calling your BFF has probably meant more to her than anything else you could do. Go easy on yourself. And let's get together again soon!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101572235917646757noreply@blogger.com
