I take Ritalin 10mg on a needs basis since I generally have functioned 'alright' into adulthood.
Just took one to get some work done today and it still amazes me how normal I feel about doing work once I'm medicated. Like there's no massive hurdle to even starting. No massive reluctance and task paralysis to fight.
Coming from a whole week where I've been procrastinating on whatever isn't urgent, suddenly it's so easy to just… do.
I also get incredibly chatty (hence the post, lol), but yeah. I can't imagine how life changing it must be for people who struggle even worse with executive dysfunction.
Yeah no, I have a handle on it now. I got tired of grocery shopping or worrying about cooking and washing dishes, so I order Huel shakes and bars monthly and I hit the store for snacks. Anything else is usually doordashed or OneWheel’d back to the house. The alarms are a good tip that I will incorporate, I appreciate you for taking the time to respond!
