Basically I (hopefully) have a very depressing depressing period behind me and i really don't feel like i can do anything right now. Nothing 'career' or hobby related ever gets finished and the time i spend on these things gets shorter and shorter every week. My head is just empty now, i can't even doodle random shit anymore despite doing it all before anymore. Same goes for visualizing things. There are things i love to, and can, do but i just sorta rot instead. My doctor gave me ritalin because i was diagnosed with hyperactive ADHD but i don't feel it helping to be honest. I really felt it doing something only once and after that one time it just feels like coffee to be honest. I even stopped taking it for a day which in most cases should immediately show you a change but there was none.

How do i crawl out of this? I might be jobless for now as in the depressive period i couldn't care about anything which included putting my degree to use but now i sorta "awake" i guess but the same apathy towards everything just cucks me. I feel like a true self saboteur and i really don't like it.

Did you talk with your doctor about this? Did you also try Adderall?

>Did you talk with your doctor about this?
Yeah that's how i got the ADHD diagnosis.
>Did you also try Adderall?
We don't have that here. The only other substance approved for ADHD treatment is lisdexamphetamine.
Vyanse or Ritalin basically.

I just don't get it to be honest. The first time taking ritalin i was very calm but after that its sorta not there i think. I even went sober for a day and its just the same.

Anyways is there any other method that is good for getting back on track? I don't see any really really calling to me. And with the fucked attention and impulse control i just struggle even more with fixing myself.

What I meant is, did you tell him that Ritalin doesn't do shit?

I will in the next appointment. Im raising the dose to 30mg before that day as per the doctors orders. The most i feel is slightly less drowsy. Basically like i did on coffee before i got an tolerance just minus the 'jitteryness'.

Too much ego. You're just not willing to struggle and fail as part of your growth path. You have to suffer badly enough to accept that doing nothing is worse, and you will. The only thing drugs can do is dope you into compliance.

Can you say more. Not op but I feel exhausted and the meds are doing what you said, and I feel like I'm losing myself to struggles and not fighting back

I don't think he will, he's just one of those vagueposting faggots that try to make you feel bad.
