Updating my life after WOW a year??

Wow! I can't believe it has been so long since I have updated this blog! A lot has happened since last year...
I did find a psychologist through the local Psychological association. However, I found out later that he did not take my particular brand of insurance, so I am paying full price.. arrrgggghh!
I am still seeing him and, to be honest, it has been worth every penny! CBT is really irritating at first. I would leave therapy so angry at my therapist, or so sad because every negative thought got challenged head on.. and um... I like to be right!! LOL

It turns out that I have been dealing with both depression and anxiety in addtion to my ADHD. Wow, no wonder I had a hard time with day to day things!

I am off of the Welbutrin. I have been for about 6months or so. I am hoping that I won't have to go on it ever again... but it did help. It is easier to just take the pill than it is to constantly fight it when you get negative thoughts and ideas.. but so much more fulfilling to know that I did it myself..

I still have negative thoughts, but now I have the skills to counteract those "cognitive distortions" as they are called. LOL I feel like a lawyer in my own mind.

As for my struggles with ADHD... oh yeah, they are still there.. big time. But I am learning to not be quite so hard on myself. Sometimes to even laugh at my so called idiosyncrasies...
