I struggled with ADHD & GAD/anxiety for my entire life. About 15 years ago, major depression came and knocked me on my ass. I have been on so many different antidepressants, to the point that I finally said “no more” about 5 years ago after none of them ever seemed to work. I finally settled on just living in a depressive, anxiety ridden sleep walk through life. I gained tons of weight, did nothing fun, sat at home, and watched the rest of the world live free via social media.

About 3 years ago, per an intriguing by chance convo with a stranger, I decided to go get tested again for ADHD. I started low dose Ritalin and within days, it literally, like a light switch took my depression and anxiety away. It helped my adhd symptoms and I had the energy and drive to start walking every morning, then I started to eat better, socialize more and my outlook on life is just different now. Today, a little over 3 years later and I’m 50 lbs lighter & counting, I do everything different than I did. I look back and felt like I was sleep walking through about 12 years of my life. The doctor says once I treated the actual underlying issue, ADHD the rest followed suit, or my anxiety and depression were simply a part or symptom of my ADHD.

Never give up trying new options or things you would never think of. I was 39 when finally woke up from my sleepwalk! Reach out if you’d like….and never give up!
