I get up in the morning with the help of stress and fear of missing a paycheck and debt. My job is incredibly entertaining to me for the most part, although I struggle with the will to drive to the office and to start tasks, once I do I finish very quickly.

My partner makes my lunch or I would just not eat at work, I drive home and dinner is already made too, so I just have to eat and spend the rest of the afternoon negotiating with my brain about washing the dishes or doing laundry, taking a shower. Some times I win, must of the time brain wins, couch paralysis, sleep super late and repeat.

I buy duplicates, I surprise myself with things I find in my closets. I do remember people but forget to talk to them for months.

That is the approach my doctor and I are discussing, so I can have it available for when I have to get something boring done. I am 36 but i certainly wish I could finish unpacking my house after 3 years… and stop living in a messy pit.

Yea the doctor said I can try the one that is for immediate response first so I can see how it feels, I mainly just want it to be able to clean my house. I don’t think it can help me not loose things (object permanence is horrible).

Everything else I already have a solid coping mechanism, it’s just exhausting.

Thank you, I think I am mostly afraid of the unknown, and I can’t even imagine what you are describing. But so long as I don’t become as slow on emergencies as other people I think it should be fine.

My job depends more on my hyperfocus, so being able to make money for food comes before my struggles on everyday life.

This is what I needed to hear, I think my job and professional success are dependent on my hyper focus to deal with emergencies, but my house… is a stressful mess. Could I ask what your meds are?

How is it before and after meds? I have been diagnosed recently and the doctor is suggesting meds but I am afraid to loose my hyper focus if I take them.
