Mental health and Physical Health

I believe I’ve mentioned in the past that I struggle with ADHD. It affects my life more than I want it to and it’s always something I deal with.

For the past two months, as I was trying to stick to my workout routine, I’ve been trying a new medication.

It’s been absolutely awful.

I’m normally a happy person, I always look at things in a positive way as much as I can.

With these new meds though I was getting more and more depressed. I could barely do anything and I could barely get any work done and even working out I couldn’t manage to lose an ounce of weight because the only time I felt happy was eating junk food.

I was doing my best to try but I felt like I was in the dark. It took me a while but I connected it to my new meds.

I was able to go and talk with my doctor, and I told her how lost and depressed I was feeling. We had a good conversation and decided to go in a different direction with my treatment.

I’m glad that I was able to see the changes in myself, and see that something wasn’t right.

ADHD is not fun, it affects my whole life. I try not to let it get in the way of what I want to do but I can’t always help it. However, I do try to see how it affects me and know what’s going on in my own head. It’s not always easy but I do my best.

Mental health really affects your physical health in a lot of ways.

It’s not always easy to know why you feel a certain way, but you can try and listen to your body and talk to someone to help you figure it out.

I don’t pretend to be an expert, I’m still figuring out my own mental health.

It’s a lifelong journey to be sure just as with physical health.

It’s a journey I’m happy to be on.
