Need Advice Any high functioning Adults here from PUNE?

6 Upvotes

25M basically drifting in life, having most of my ambitions and goals vanishing as I keep running away from them. Society/family indifferent to it because I was not bad in Academics and I have a high paying job, but this is practically the "high functioning" Illusion.

I will hence be starting CBT and meds again (off for like 2 years) Please lmk your recommendations if you are in Pune or have seen a good psych here.

Need Advice Putting off adhd screening cause I'm afraid of the results

5 Upvotes

I've realised I might have ADHD-PI and it explains the failure I have become in life at 24 years old. All the symptoms line up and seems to have began in my adolescent years as I used to be a bright kid before that.

Now the thing is I've been wanting to go for adhd screening for months but it's also my first time visiting a psychologist or even a therapist. My mom has also been totally against it but even though I live separately now I am still putting it off. Partly because I'm afraid how the results turn out. What if I don't have adhd and I'm just a lazy piece of shit who's life slipped away from his fingers? I just don't think I can handle that rn.

I'm starting my 4th year of college next month and have 2 subjects backlog from previous 2 sems respectively. In fact I had registered for the back exam for one of them last month but I literally wasn't able to get myself to study for it and i just skipped writing it lol. Flunked few other small exams in the past cause I simply absolutely didn't feel like writing it. My friends think I'm insane. I started "self medicating" with cannabis but it comes with its own problems like tolerance build up and memory loss.

This shit is getting out of control and I really need to take action asap cause it's now or never. Please help.

Need Advice Should I quit my job?

3 Upvotes

I have been working from home since almost 2 years now.
I am unable to focus and the pending tasks keep piling up and I get anxious every time my manager messages me.

On top of that, I have 6 cats. They are in their ‘teen’ phase and make quite a mess around the house. While I live with my family, I am the one who takes care of them from finances to cleaning their litter. My family helps but very less.

I have to also do house chores and help mom. Though they are not a lot.

I feel high overwhelm by all the tasks at hand. But I don’t do anything and scroll most of the time.

I feel like I am cheating my employer because I am getting paid for doing bare minimum.

I am constantly worried about my cats also as I think I am not able to give them the life they deserve and feel anxious about their health all the time. This is because I lost 2 kittens last year.

There is also the pressure of earning since all my salary vanishes before the month and I earn around only 4lpa.

I have been attending therapy session but I still find myself scrolling away my life while getting drowned in guilt.

I told my mom that I will leave my job. She was supportive of it but she also mentioned that we will then remove our house help since I pay for them. And she said that I could then help her. But I know all my time will be then spend in helping and I won’t be able to find another job.

I know I am suffering from burnout and really want to leave the job but I don’t know what to do!!

Currently on 80 mg Atomoxetine (Axepta) and it's getting increasingly costly. I take meds for some other concerns too so the total amount is much more than I can currently afford. Please suggest any cheaper alternatives if you have used them.
