I suffer from pretty severe OCD and anxiety and mild to severe depression, I've never been to a Doctor about it. Recently, stress has increased dramatically and all of my issues are starting to take a substantial turn for the worst.
I plan to see a Doctor about it all, however I also want to be prescribed an ADHD medication of some sort, not because I'm a junkie, but because I firmly believe I also suffer from ADHD (I don't have all the symptoms but I can't ever concentrate on anything without being distracted, suffering as silly as quiet noise would completely distract me and not allow me to concentrate on anything until the noise has disappeared).
I'm not going to lie, I would only be seeing a Doctor for one reason; to get prescribed something strong. I don't want to tell the doctor about my depression, OCD and anxiety issues as he may be reluctant to prescribe me ADHD drugs such as Ritalin. However, I really want my other issues to be under control, at the moment, they're not. I seem to have sudden mood swings, one moment I'll be talking to someone, the next moment I'll want to smash his teeth down his throat (it takes very little to provoke me). If someone I know looks at me the wrong way, I start scheming a plot of how to mess their life up. I can't control myself anymore. Sometimes I just want to die, other times I'm happy (almost high) for no reason. My OCD will always get the best of me, I have to do everything in a set order, I have to do everything a set number of times (always an even number, usually 10 times).
I don't know what to tell the Doctor, do I just try and get an ADHD medication prescribed to me and not tell him about my other problems, or do I be honest and see what crap he prescribes me? As I say, I seriously can't work at the moment, I do work but I get no work done, as I can't sit down and concentrate for more than 5 mins without being distracted for good.
Sorry if this is the wrong section, I didn't know where else to post this. I hope this post doesn't come across as rambling nonsense, I'm very overwhelmed at the moment and I don't know what to do, I can't think clearly.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
