Does medication help with this? I've been in the processes of thinking about getting meds for this exact issue for years now...
It worked for me, but I hated the way it made me feel so I don't take it.
Interesting, is there only one main medication?
No. Everyone is different, and there are multiple medications. I can only speak to my own experience.
It's very dependent on the specific medication and the person. I know people who get it and their brain magically let's them do stuff, but not for everyone.
For me it definitely helps, I can do way more in a day, but stressful tasks I usually put off are still stressful and I still put them off. It makes it easier most days to motivate myself to do them, coping mechanisms are still a requirement though.
Defs recommend if you're able to get it. While it's not always the immediate fix it's often made out to be, it makes a big difference.
I'm taking the slow release methylphenidate, the barrier to actually start a task gets lower and I don't feel as drained after a day of work. Downside is it makes me somewhat more irritable, but ymmv.
Interesting thank you. That's mildly worrying, I'm already very irritable (I think because of high BP, that I take meds for already). I know it's usually different for everyone but won't stop me from worrying lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is supposed to, yes
I've been told it does.
I've got reasonable coping mechanisms, including choosing a profession that works well with my ADHD even unmedicated, so I cannot know for sure. But, even a doctor who has ADHD has told me that one of the most important things an ADHD medicine does is to help with precisely this
Thanks for the response. I'll move it to the top of my get done eventually list lol. Could take a few more years. Although there is so much on my list it's genuinely stressing me the fuck out and I haven't been able to enjoy much lately. It's getting debilitating and I haven't 'found the time' to look up any coping strategies
Edit: after rereading, I rambled a lot and basically repeated myself but I'm too tired to fix it... So sorry lol
It was a very good answer. The fact that you repeated yourself conveyed a lot of information 🦉
It could have been written by me, and it was able to make me a bit worried of someone who's a stranger for me.
But hey, the reason we need the medication (as told by that amazing GP!) is precisely because everything in our life being a jumble causes a lot of anxiety and the anxiety breaks everything else. The medication helps us organize ourselves a lot better, which removes the absolutely by far biggest source of our anxiety. And think what you'd be without anxiety. Or, at least with, say, 92 % less anxiety.
