Can you guys hear me out?
In less than a month I'll turn 19, what bothers me is that I might have ADD. I can't concentrate on doing some work or anything, even when socializing I soon start daydreaming and do not hear anything others say. When I was younger I was a good student, scored top scores in my class but then depression hit me. It'd be fine if I was able to concentrate and actually do something but recently it just keeps getting worse and worse. I don't have money but I want to visit a psychiatrist, how do I tell that to my parents? How did you tell? I don't want to lose hope yet. I also hope that adderall is legal where I live.

Stop watching TV.

Just tell your parents you have problems to concentrate and need help. It's not as if you are telling them you are gay.

ADD is a fake disease. Your problem is that you're cripplingly depressed, like the rest of us.

Amphetamines are a shitty "solution" that will only disguise your symptoms and give you a heart attack. The solution to your problem is to change your lifestyle in a way that makes you happy and involved again.

It's what I think but recently my laziness has been getting more and more serious. I took online tests (yeah, I know) and according to them it's ADD.

Well, depression is an emotional state. If you feel sad and unmotivated all the time then, you're depressed.

Hitting the gym and eating well are good of course but you need to identify the reason for your depression, and fix that. Are you lonely? Stressed at school? Wanderlust? Bad body image? Secretly lust after cocks? There's a lot of possible reasons for your state. It could even be as simple as lack of sunlight.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11694776
I don't know if I would believe in depression as a disorder but when I have experienced it in the past, it's different. I would probably say to man the fuck up but it doesn't seem to me to work that way, sometimes you just can't.
>>11694789
> medication should only be used as a LAST RESORT
I know but it doesn't feel like I could get it over by just talking about it. Today my hands were shaking, low body temperature (I ate well and drank enough of fluids though) and I felt like shit, maybe today was depression but I just don't know anymore.
>>11694793
I probably know the reasons and it doesn't seem like I can change it. I don't want to end in the hospital like I did once (I'm not suicidal), so I want to take some action now.

what, talking about it won't help shit unless you're a woman

ADD is really a blessing in disguise if you can workaround it. ADD helps you concentrate better if you ever have interest on whatever your currently doing.
If your having trouble concentrating try multitasking, study while having music on,while dance around,while juggling, while painting, while masturbating.

That's dumb though. Self help books are just filled with a bunch of vague meaningless tripe designed to make people feel good about doing essentially nothing. Talking about shit with other people is something good for everyone, not just women. Humans are social animals.

Something like adderall might help me. It's my last year (12th grade), a bit more than half year left, if I continue being so lazy and can't pay attention like now, I will have difficulties passing and I don't want to become depressed.

Whatever you do, don't accept Concerta. Shit fucking sucks. Other medicine might help you but honestly I lost faith in medicine and just came to terms with the fact I have a low attention span and low medication. Maybe depression too but I don't care enough to do anything about it.

Just sleep more, eat right and do some physical activities and things should fall into place sooner or later.

Does that include ritalin too or just anything with Methylphenidate?

>>11694972
I had no luck with Ritalin but it's better than Concerta and it varies from person to person. Concerta specifically has an effect that last long enough to ruin any minute you're awake. Ritalin is like four hours top and Concerta has a 12 hour effect and a million of side-effects. Just don't try it.

Speak for yourself. I've been NEET for eight years now and I cannot think of any reason why one would be depressed if they're able to live a life like this. You obviously have internet, probably have your own room, maybe have access to warm food and a comfy bed. Why are you depressed? How can you be depressed?

It'll keep getting worse, more and more pressure will be applied on me, I'm not good with things like that, I have to stop caring about it or thinking about it will make me depressed.

Not that guy but what makes me feel bad is that I fear future (I guess it's something I fear), if things keep going downhill or even stay the same - I'm fucked, my parents won't let me stay at home and leech, I can't get paid for just some mental disability here enough to live, I don't want to be the one only taking, I want to do things but I just can't, I would feel only worse if I can't earn a living..
