Focus issues

[TopherPwn]

I use to have great memory where I could remember everything in my life. After getting pstd from the military. My focus and memory has become horrid. I thought it was something I could handle, but it wasn't. I also had tests done and tracked down a testosterone issue. My psychiatrist won't help me with my ADD. Since those meds bring axiety. I want to goto college, but I can't without proper medication. I've been stuck for almost two years. It's literally the worst feeling waiting. I could've been two years deep, but they won't help due to my PTSD. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

Perhaps go to a different psychiatrist. "Sorry, nothing we can do," isn't the right answer.

There are meds for ADD which are not stimulants, which I assume are the ones that gave you anxiety.

Another option is to take the one that causes anxiety and take another medication with it for the anxiety. Very common.

PTSD requires intense, long-term therapy.

Medication can also be taken to reduce the symptoms of the PTSD as well.

Did you solve the testosterone problem you tracked down?

Not yet, I don't know why. I currently started to take testosterone on a cycle. I also just slowed down on my soda/sugar intake to see if it adjusts. I also changed my eggs from white to brown. Mainly focusing on meats. I believe the testosterone happened from a medication I took or currently take.

I used to have a great memory too. But for instance, I was soaking in the bathtub, looking at all the toiletries on the side of the tub. I got really perplexed and stressed that I couldn't find the plug.

It was in the drain... Where it belongs when you're bathing.

Stuff like that happens CONSTANTLY to me. I think it's an adult autism thing.

I've had so many experiences like that, but I've been figuring it's because of the medication.

I'm meds free currently.
My memory is and has been the worst its ever been for approximately three months.

I suspect it's a phase. I'll roll through this like I do other temporary phases.

I used to be alarmed and panic because I wasn't processing information or recalling facts in the usual way but I'm currently finding Ignorance can be blissful.

I believe heightened states of anxiety can shut memory down.
(don't need memory in the fight or flight response, body primed to run like hell, not remember an appointment or someone's birthday)

Just curious? What's behind the eggs thing? Is there a difference?
We don't even get white eggs in the UK - haven't seen one in decades.

Guess it's nothing major, some say it brown eggs are better. Noticed when I looked up the facts.

From what I've read, brown egg chickens are bigger and so cost more to raise, making the eggs cost more to buy. That's the only difference, as far as I know.
