Its weird I do have ADD but I feel like there is nothing going on in
my head at times just nothing no emotions or anything. I dont have a
lot of opinion on ALOT of things/subjects! I just feel like a wall, just there.
I do suffer from low self esteem and self confidence, useless and sometimes feel hopeless about in the future, but sometimes those feelings and my thoughts are I guess blocked or dormant it feels nonexistent and yet sometimes those feelings come back out again.
Also I don't get in trouble a lot, but I feel like I can be easily influenced instead of being my own person. I want to be original and creative and innovated. Growing up I have been the most obedient one in my family to my parents. Also my parents were very strict plus they are devout to their religion, so they were pretty controlling I ask alot of people about decisions and what I should do and, with doing what my parents say all of my life, Im not my own person. But I also have different sides different personality or another person in me if you will. That personality is fearless and doesnt care what other people think and can do anything. Sometimes I would get things correct and not think twice about it, it just happens, but that happens once in awhile.
Oh, wow. You have totally described me. I haven't heard anyone else that describes what I'm going through the way you have. I don't have ADD though but the rest of it fits really well. I feel like I have two selves. One that is my regular self, often boring and without much to say, unable to respond to people well even though I am very intelligent and articulate. The other self is confident, happy, emotionally engaged with people, doesn't care what they think, brave...but that only comes out once in a while and I don't know what compels it to come out.
I really don't know why you feel this way or why I do, but I guess it's relieving to know I'm not alone, and neither are you.
I am feeling unhappy a lot (without a good reason as people would see it). I want to feel better. I heard that prozac could make you feel happier or more stable?
Did anyone try it? Are there bad side effects per your experience?
Tysky, it sounds like you're fine and the further you get away from your parents' influence the better off you'll be. They basically trained the autonomous part of your self away from you. But it's still in there somewhere.

I personally didn't feel any better with prozac, I tried zoloft which gave me MORE suicidal thoughts and then I went on effexor which worked as much as it could but I still felt like only a better situation would give relief.

THANK YOU. I agree with you. I almost always feel like I have no thoughts. I have feelings, but I have no interests in ANYTHING. I like being on the computer, I like drawing, crocheting and reading, but I feel like I can't keep my attention to it or if anything doesn't go the way I want it to, I'm quickly frustrated and angered by it. But then another day my mood is completely uplifted and I'm happy and talking. I can relate with the always asking for a second opinion, always second guessing myself. I go back and forth between the 2 extremes sometimes during the same day. Something will just hit me and I revert back to the child like personality, (fearless, brave, easily upset, self-questioning, and withdrawn if yelled at). I've yet to understand why my body does that.

Anyone tried prozac? How do you feel?
