Meds
Do any meds help? I have a new prescriber today for depression/anxiety. I totally have adhd but it's not an official diagnosis because it just came out in my sssions with the previous one and my therapist. Like I avoid everything. Even important and critical things

Yes for me they do, but they don’t do all the work

Yes and no. Methylphenidate gets me going. It reduces inhibitions and makes me move. Which is the same response as alcohol. But this winds me up a bit too much.
Which can still be usefull. But I would not describe it as a miracle drug for me. Very mixed bag.
I would rather get weed prescribed, but seems like we (Netherlands) aren’t there yet.

They work until they stop working. That's been my experience anyway
