Good, Yet Very Odd, News!

[Author]

Hey guys! Guess what? It turns out that I have not three illness but four: Anxiety (severe), Bipolar Disorder (severe), Sleep Apnea (not too severe), and ADHS (or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). This is going to sound bonkers but my newly diagnosed disorder - ADHD - might, and I cetainly feel it will, get me back on the track of life! You see for nearly a decade I have been unable to work because of my Anxiety and Bipolar illnesses. I suffered so much because I was totally unable to focus my mind on any type of task(s). That feat was impossible for me. Now that I am taking medication for ADHD, I can focus clearly, feel better, and live better. Do you realize what that means!? I can now enjoy, though still sick, a perfectly balanced and productive life. I can finally see myself in a workplace enviroment doing what I do best - Web Animation! I am so very, very happy that this new illness was discovered because it is allowing me, now that I have all four illnesses under control, to be fulfilled and happy. I haven't experienced such joy in nearly a decade! The medication for my ADHD is what was not treated making me useless in life. Today that has changed! I cannot ever stop taking my medications, and I take alot(!) - sixteen (16) dosages a day - because if stop I am history in regards to living successfully. It's not everyday that you hear such odd good news. But in this case, it's all good!

Thank you.

I am sorry if I delay or fail to reply immediately. I am borrowing a laptop while in the library currently. I will answer all your replies, tonight or tomorrow morning.

My mind is so focused right now that I am cutting through pages of books like never before. Now maybe my writing will finally improve. I mean what writer can write if their focus is hindered? Answer: None! I am looking forward to my future now. This has not been the case for me for many, many years. Today is indeed a special day in my life.

You know that if this new medication pans out, I might become more enjoyable here in this forum. I see myself different - becoming the person I truly am on the inside without the nasty manic episodes that alients others and lands me with midfits on this forum.

Having a new log in name might just be an accidential promise of good things to come. Let's hope so for everyone's sake...mostly my own. My hopes are sky high I must declare. Yes!

Glad to hear you're doing so well Carlos! The timing of your post is interesting; just yesterday I was talking to the friend who tutors my youngest two sons, and she shared with me about another child she has been tutoring. Apparently the dad was very reluctant to medicate the girl, even though she obviously had ADD, and possibly ADHD. He tried diets and behavioral approaches, but she still was difficult to deal with and could not catch up with her peers academically. Recently he had a change of heart and whatever meds they're using for her have totally changed this child, and she no longer needs to tutor with my friend as her concentration level has dramatically improved. All I can say is, praise God for the medical field! Take care and see ya around.

Hey Sparks, I miss our discourses, even the negative ones (my bad most likely). Everyone around me are saying that I have changed for the positive. I surely hope so. I want to be of benefit to others instead of a pain in the neck. I am hopeful that those such days (words) are forever gone. Carlitos.
