About Me
I am 37, married with 3 kids. I was on meds for depression and ADD for four years, but quit because I want to join the Navy Reserves. Found along the way that the drugs were only treating a symptom, not the problem.

Support Groups
Close Depression
I beleive that depression is a symptom of my problem, which is low self-esteem. Since there is no support group for that, this is the next best thing.
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- It worked, but turned me into an automaton. I was neither depressed nor happy. Just apathetic.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It helped somewhat, but spen all of the time treating the symptoms and not the problem.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Talking to my wofe helps, but she can only support me for so long be she starts to get down.
- Writing Too Soon to Tell
- I'm starting this now
Close Anxiety
I think my anxiety is a symptom of low self esteem, but there is no support group for that. This is the next best thing.
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- Cannot focus on positive thoughts during an anxiety attack.
Open ADHD / ADD
I've always been easily distracted and impulsive, which has gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life. I struggled through school and college and now struggle at work. I was finally diagnosed with ADHD at 33 years old and was on medication until last year when I quit.
Treatments
- Concerta Somewhat Helpful
- I think it worked. I couldn't tell.
