Hi, I just joined and don't want to jump in giving advice just maybe some support. You sound a lot like I did around your age, and although I didn't have some of the trauma you've had, a lot of your fears seem pretty normal. I did find stimulant type drugs very useful as well but you are right to see them as just a temporary fix. In my case I turned a corner and stimulants suddenly made my life full of paranoia - not confidence and well-being as they did in the beginning. I'm now on the path to giving up the meds/drugs in favor of learning new coping skills, even at my late age - essentially this is the #1 problem many of us face. Best of luck with your treatment.
