God I wanna make so much art (drawing/painting/wood carving/crochet/build things/etc), make comics, learn languages, learn how to deep clean and power wash, garden, make clothes, make fursuits, travel, hike, forage, make youtube videos, go urban exploring, go ghost hunting, animate, preserve animal skeletons and insects, etc etc.

But I’m so perpetually exhausted that even just planning out an idea takes a lot out of me, and it feels so unfair.

Thankfully medication has helped out a looot (I mean the difference between taking genuinely months to do anything vs being able to do so within a week or even a day if lucky is quite an improvement) but it’s not gonna make me superhuman any time soon ^^;

    It absolutely has for me, prior it would take me genuinely months to even do a single thing (including really important shit) but with medication it’s significantly helped my executive dysfunction, made me able to get things done within the week or even a day if lucky, I can actually focus (sometimes on the wrong things lol), and since removing the executive dysfunction it’s allowed me to have more motivation. (Of course still not perfect hence my post)

    The effectiveness of meds vary for everyone esp on the specific kinds of meds (I take ritalin), but I’d say go for it (also the dependence thing isn’t as scary as you’d think, I mean with meds you’ll more than likely improve on productivity, and if you ever run out it’ll just go back to how it was before (in my experience at least) I’d say it’s def worth asking a doc about it)
