After 2 Years of ritalin, those kind of regrets and feelings subside, and I had them all my life.
I guess my perception of self worth changed.
I tried to be successfull, because i didnt know what it felt like to feel good about myself.
It's a thing like learning the guitar, being really giid at it, but you don't have to show it to your frineds, you just do it for yourself.
So, that with the guitar happened to me.
The first thing is to get rid of depression. In my case, i tried lots of things. lots and lots.
I always hoped:
"I do the thing X, AND THEN I'LL BE SUCCESSFULL, from then on, i will function like other people!"
But that was never ever the case.
Only thing that helped was ritalin, and learning to let it all go, slowly, you will fuind things you are good at.
In my case, I started with my adhd diagnosis. then i got good at selling car parts and playing the guitar. dropped the car parts thing though, i am outstandingly good at it, but still not able to deal with people.
oh, i guess i was suicidal for twenty years... on and off.
