[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 465124, member: 1550"] I want to add, stimulants make me MORE depressed. The moodswings of stimulants were a dealbreaker for me. I preferred ADHD to the dark pit I fell into each time a dose wore off. Stimulants would make me inititally feel great and almost high, then when they wore off *crash!* I'm not sure they are good, ADHD or not, for anybody with a mood disorder, even with other medications in place. Steely describes depression well. The world seems gray. Everything is hard. Living is hard. Your brain is foggy and your ability to perform in every way is stifled. You cry easily. Some depressed people are so irritable that they constantly snap because they are in so much pain. I used to tell my therapist that it is like a broken leg that can't be treated. The pain is relentless and neverending. You cannot 'snap out of it.' [/QUOTE]
