For me they help me be more ok slowing down and starting small and not feeling so overwhelmed from all there is to do. So I’m like 50% likely to do something on meds and 20% off.
Lol, those percentages are so accurate and it’s so sad 😂
Even medicated there’s a chance my brain just will. not. prioritize what we had discussed focusing on.
You referred to your brain as a separate, sentient entity hahahaha!! I thought I was the only one, honestly, and it made me laugh HARD just now to find out that I’m not.
They help me push past my executive disfunction, most importantly, but also to stay focused and on task.
They also kind of act as a ritual that starts a “Get it done” mindset, like taking my pill sets my intention for the day.
I had to go off my meds for a few months, and while my habits were harder to do, they weren’t impossible like they felt before I had built them. I was able to rely on habit muscle memory.
Thanks but how you built them ? I’m on medication ( Methylphenidate) and I still struggle. We don’t have a large choice of treatment on my country. I feel I can do more, but I still fail to. So I am curious how you succeeded to built those habits. How you avoided our usual pitfalls, by example.
How you do that, build healthy habits with the meds ?

Thanks I will follow this. Just need to say it out loud few times and it will enter my mind :)
