Do you have any offline friends you feel like you could confide in? Because I think their opinion would be a lot more valuable than mine, since they know how you are from day to day. However, my unexpert opinion is that this is sometimes how I feel on days when I don't take my meds, so maybe it's the ADD acting up. But I have a feeling there might be something else going on there. I wouldn't go so far as to call it depression unless I knew more (though the increased interest in your favorite activities does NOT rule it out at all, the symptoms are different for everyone), but I think a professional opinion really couldn't hurt. You have a psychiatrist to prescribe you the ADD meds, right? Maybe talk to them and tell them how you've been feeling lately, see what they think. I hope you feel better.

I don't think "unexpert" is a word. Oh well.

I have a normal medical doctor prescribe my meds. Trying 30mg adderall now, works better than the Concerta but doesn't fix all my problems like I absurdly hoped it would (also attacks my appetite with a vengeance previously unknown to me). I don't think it's meant to fix crippling laziness, which is what I suspect I've been using ADD medication to do for a few years now, in addition to dealing with my ADD.

Anyway, I'll be seeing a Seeleklempner (German equivalent of "shrink", literal translation: "soul plumber") on Thursday.

I'm on 30 mgs of Adderall, I like it much better than Concerta. The appetite thing is a little rough, though - it's one of the main reasons I was so skinny. I've gained a little weight lately though, which I'm told is good, but it's not exactly easy to convince a teenage girl that gaining ten pounds is a good thing. Anyways, back to the topic at hand, I know what you mean about the laziness thing. I know that most of my focus problems are ADD, but sometimes I just don't know where the ADD ends and the laziness begins.

Hope the soul plumber (ha!) goes well.

"If you gain ten pounds I'll let you wear my hat."

It's never failed.

EXCELLENT.

Anyways, how did the shrink go? Assuming that you were talking about this past Thursday.
