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.

      No, definitely. I wasn’t clear enough but using stress as stimulant most of my life has left me with long term physical and mental sequelae.
