I have long struggled with changing my mind about things.
I have combated it with more meds, different strategies in therapy, other things. I can never seem to stop making impulsive decisions sometimes, though. I was wondering if anyone here has ever experienced something similar, and if so, what they did about it. I know I should just be more accepting of myself and the decisions I do make. But it's difficult to do that. It's almost as if I cannot even trust my own mind. It's hard to accept your own mind if you don't even trust it. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |

Yes I experienced this. About 7 years into recovery I lost the job I’d held for fourteen years and Then Found another for a short one year. I was no longer psychotic but either the meds or the underlying illness had changed me. Suddenly I had cognitive problems with working memory, processing speed and adhd when I had always had extreme focus.
I personally believe it was the adhd causing the jumping behavior. Like every other day I’d change what I wanted to be now that I needed to search for a brand new career. Basically as soon as things became hard I bailed. They won’t give me a stimulant so I tried fish oil....it worked and got rid of this. Since then I got an IT cert and am working on my masters.....I’m not jumping between prospective careers anymore. I actually take algae omega, it’s a algae based substitute for fish oil that has a bit more DHA which is the brain one. __________________ Hugs! |

Thanks! I take EPA fish oil. Maybe I should order the DHA kind. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |
