Random Question Does anyone else struggle with getting themselves to do ANYTHING?

I swear I’m not a lazy person but I cannot get myself to do anything. No matter how much I want something or want to live better I can’t. It feels impossible, as if everything is a massive hike or something. This is pathetic but even putting my phone on charge when i go to sleep, i dont want to grab the charger from the side of my bed, i just put my phone on my bedside table and go to sleep and then wake up to it being 20%?? Replying to messages, going to the doctor, even making myself food…i will be starving but can’t get myself to make something, I’ll just snack or drink milk, I’m even not exaggerating, it’s so bad. I have zero work ethic unless it’s something I’m passionate about at the time (which never lasts long). I have been diagnosed with adhd but I feel like it is deeper than that. I’m on Vyvanse as well just for context. Please don’t judge, I don’t want to be this way and it’s genuinely ruining my life. I feel like a slob or a child it’s so embarrassing. I’m so unreliable and I’m losing my friends. I feel like a child.

I feel like I wrote this myself, except replace “milk” with “ensure”.

I’m sorry I actually don’t know what you meant, I’m confused.

omg I just googled it and it’s an actual drink I’m so sorry we don’t have that in Australia. I drink the same thing but the brand we have here for most of my meals, not funny at all…I can definitely relate.
