Could It Be The Pills?

So I think I've mentioned before that I'm more than just a little AD/HD, and it's been a bit of a task keeping the tendency to chase shiny things under control. Recently, I read a thing online about there being a more natural remedy to keeping it under control by ensuring that you have enough magnesium and omega-3 in your diet. Well, my response to trying this was grabbing a multi-vitamin and some fish oil. How's that working? Well...

Initially, I didn't notice much. I seemed to be a little calmer, but now after a week, I think it is doing something, but it took a bit to figure out that it might be the supplements causing this. Since a few days ago, I've felt immeasurably depressed. Perhaps you got that from the bad week post. Now, I'm not the type of person to feel depressed about anything, but I've just felt really, really down lately. Wait, you might be thinking, how can someone who is hyperactive be "down"?

Aha... There's what I hit on too. I've been taking these vitamins and fish oil regularly over the past week, and all of a sudden, I feel depressed. Maybe I'm not actually, but the "downing" effect is working. Maybe I'm not depressed. Maybe I'm somewhere close to normal. Perhaps I've calmed down to the point that it's noticeable.

Now the hard part is focusing because I am not sure that I'm all there at this point because being down all of a sudden from being up all the time is a bit of a culture shock to me, especially since I deduced this possibility just this morning. I've gone over recent events in my life and despite the fact that they are a little over the top, I've gone through much worse, and it's been no big deal. I need to turn my mind from all the ugly annoying things that have been bringing my mood down and focus on everything that keeps me going all the time. Keep on everything that excites me.

I'm not sure where all this will take me, but I currently have mixed feelings over these supplements. Maybe my body is just adjusting to getting these extra nutrients and there's an acclimation period I just need to endure. I'll go with that for awhile, but if my mood fails to improve through my own cognitive abilities, then I may be chemically depressed, and have to toss these pills by the wayside.

Can't have the geek's brain put through the ringer cause of pills. Just not right.
