        While I think medication is a valid option, Im not sure I would use it as the first option, unless I had a licensed therapist/psychiatrist give a diagnosis and medication recommendation. It’s entirely possible I just need a change of routine or environment, but everyone does has varying situations and medications is one option that I think (I don’t have any sources haha) proves effective!

          My dude, you have a physical condition that alters how your brain functions and don’t want to see a doctor.

          You’re downplaying how serious your condition is. Go see a doctor. There’s a reason why medication rocks for 3/4 people. It fixes your body just like a cast would for a broken arm.

          children with ADHD have fewer symptoms after finding the correct stimulant medication and dosage. Stimulants are considered controlled substances, which means they have the potential to be improperly used or cause substance use disorders.

      Some people find it to be a huge help to start their day immediately with a scheduled activity like a class at a gym. 6am spin class or crossfit or some shit.

      Forces you to get up and get your ass moving first thing and if you can ride the endorphins out of the gym and into a bunch of other productive activities you will probably get more done by lunch than any other whole day.

        That seems like it makes sense. Which probably stems from me not having a regular sleep cycle with some of the Twitch streaming I do at night. Trying to balance work/family/life along with that is pretty difficult to get a good sleep schedule. Maybe I’ll try to do some workouts or exercises before work if I don’t feel dead in the morning.

          It needs to be a regimented “I now do this regardless” activity. If you put in the qualifier of “If I dont feel dead” then you never will, because who feels fantastic getting up at 5:00 to go to the gym?

    Getting older and more mature has definitely helped with this. For example, I completely cut out the part where I promise myself I’m going to change the pattern.
