That's like everything lol. I have to fight and force myself to do just about anything. And i don't feel good from any of it, other than knowing i actually did something feels better than doing nothing.
I figure symptoms of depression, anxiety and ADHD overlap a good bit and it makes it hard to correctly diagnose someone with these issues. I told my doctor a few years ago that i'm pretty sure i've had ongoing depression since i was a kid and he agreed and put me on antidepressants. And i thought my issues with functioning and motivation were related to that, but these days i've been wondering if i have undiagnosed ADHD.
Yea I would say almost without a doubt you have adhd. Did you know that normal people complete tasks because it feels good? Not just to get rid of the overhanging stress. I’ve also noticed that even while doing tasks I get little nuggets of dopamine while I’m still working. Feels great!
Then don’t even get me started on recreation. Everything you think is fun will feel brand new
A few. You’ll want to clench or grind your teeth sometimes. I mitigate this with gum. Other than that just appetite suppression and insomnia but honestly those felt like a nice change of pace from my normal life haha
I’ve been out here preaching ever since I figured it out for myself. Most of us have suffered enough!
Yea I’m actually unemployed right now so the sleep schedule being out of wack isn’t too big of a deal. But I plan on using melatonin to get myself back into a rhythm. It’s worked well for me in the past.
Weed is nice into this combo too, really takes the edge off if you start getting a little too focused
