I remember my first semester in 7th grade I was flunking all of my classes even though i tried extremely hard at school. I would spend hours and hours doing homework every night but still got bad grades. I remember the school councilor wanted to put me in the LD classes and assign me a personal learning assistant but i refused, then she said that if i dont change my classes i would have to retake 7th grade. I felt so stupid and lost all of my confidence and self esteem. My parents were disappointed with my lack of success at school. I was embarrassed to be around people because i felt retarded. Then i went to a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with severe ADD. The doctor prescribed me adderall and then i got straight A's the second semester. Now im a senior in high school and continue to get good grades but i still feel stupid and worthless... The good news is that I have recently started taking lexapro for social phobia/depression and i have already noticed a huge change in my behavior. Yesterday i actually approached and talked to a beautiful girl (the first time ever!) and suprisingly im actually exited to go to school tomorrow and hopefully find the courage to talk to another girl that I've been admiring. Hopefully this medication will help me turn my social life around.
