    Hahaha yeah I tell my psych nurse that it helps me manage the task I’m doing really well - but it does NOT keep me on task.

    Boring task I don’t want to do is still boring task I don’t want to do.

      I usually describe the effects of the escitalopram I take as not really directly making me “feel better”, but mellowing out the uncontrollable emotional spikes enough that I can actually work on anxiety management skills. So far Vyvanse has worked for me in similar ways, in that I can actually focus on things now, but I’m also about 30 years late at developing proper task management skills.

        I want to make a joke but literally the only thing keeping me from getting on meds is actually calling my insurance for an in-network psychiatrist.

        I’ve been putting it off for six months… or more accurately I have been putting off basically everything for the last six months and the lack of inertia is killing me.

    No fuck you I’m using that brainpower on myself and debugging my own code FIRST and if there’s anything leftover I’ll waste it on the boring thing.
