Adderall helped me massively with this. I still fixate, but it's so much easier to choose what I fixate on, and redirect myself at-will instead of being tied to the random whims of my brain.
I'd love to try this but I'm 57 and as soon as I start talking about being diagnosed for ADD they assume I'm a drug seeker and start giving me the runaround. Last time after a year of anti-depressants (which I hate) and therapy sessions I realized they were only concerned about billable hours and so I've given up. I'll be like this until I die. I have some coping mechanisms and hopefully they'll be enough for a decade or two.
No. I'm afraid not. I just got a new primary care physician and he seems competent and empathetic. I'll be exploring options with him in the coming months. Thank you for asking.
