  • Jesus fuck holy hell this was me down to the letter. Only difference was my meds worked for probably a year, which made the drop in productivity even more obvious. Like a ‘why brain no worky’ moment that just curved down over time. I had other shit going on though that I like to partially attribute, plus my med spiking up to 450 a month was enough for me to get off meds which was even more horrifyingly bad. Now 2 years later I’m back to being unproductive and kicking myself 10 times harder because I know what I’m capable of. Queue the endless anxiety / stress / guilt cycle. Now I have to go through finding another doc, then 6 months of scaling whatever med, that’s if I ever remember after work that I need to do it to begin with. Only time I ever remember is laying in bed at night losing sleep because of the amount of anxiety I have from not performing.



  • Yeah my issue is my hyperfixation is gaming. Other hobbies every now and then, but never anything useful like programming, even though that would be a major boon. Anything learning-wise and my brain just shuts down, finds everything it can to distract, etc. when I’m medicated though? Yeah, I’m def the dude on the left. Power through anything, learn anything. Literally feel like the guy in Limitless when my meds are working.

    One of the main factors that made me decide to go get a diagnosis at 30 is I would ask a coworker a question and struggle, I mean REALLY struggle to stay focused just to hear the answer to the question I just asked them. Like, I asked them, wtf belrsin??? Sometimes corrections in sleep and diet can make a difference here and there, at least for me, but if you’ve tried everything and literally are suffering from it, go get checked. Because if you do, and get medicated, you’ll feel like a god damn superhero. It is insane the difference it makes when you’ve been dealing with your symptoms for decades.
