An Intervention With My Self

In this video, I have an intervention with myself. In 2018, I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD. It was about a year after my mom passed away. I remember not wanting to leave my room. It started that way. I would stay in my room for weeks. My sisters became worried and asked me to see a therapist. So I tried therapy, but it just didn't feel like anyone cared. Every time I went to treatment, I constantly had to meet a new therapist because I guess the ones who saw me previously realized I was probably the most significant nut case they've ever had. During this time, I started working at a mental hospital. I know, right? What a coincidence! Because of this job, I wanted to learn more about my issues. My co-worker referred me to her psychiatrist, and that's when I was formally diagnosed with adult ADHD.

I was prescribed 20g of Adderall three times a day.
30g of Adderall XR 3 times a day.
Zoloft once a day.
And Xanax 2mg 3 times a day.

I didn't mention this before, but before my mom passed away, I had been battling with withdrawal from benzodiazepines and crystal methamphetamine. I was hooked on those two drugs for two years, and I got off of them when I found out my mom had cancer. It wasn't easy, and I'll tell you more about that story later.

But it's crazy how the doctor prescribed me the same two drugs I was addicted to previously. How did it end? Well...
