It's amazing how much more functional we are as a whole when we're medicated (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I take Ritalin 10mg on a needs basis since I generally have functioned 'alright' into adulthood.

Just took one to get some work done today and it still amazes me how normal I feel about doing work once I'm medicated. Like there's no massive hurdle to even starting. No massive reluctance and task paralysis to fight.

Coming from a whole week where I've been procrastinating on whatever isn't urgent, suddenly it's so easy to just... do.

I also get incredibly chatty (hence the post, lol), but yeah. I can't imagine how life changing it must be for people who struggle even worse with executive dysfunction.

Wanting to see the assholes ruining our world be put down like a rabid dog is not some fucked thought, these people are actively killing the planet and our opportunities for their greed while fueling culture wars, may we soon collectively stand up like the French did. These fascist fucks need to be reminded who actually does work allowing this world to function and its not billionaires. The sui shit is definitely not good, though, so I'm glad you were able to get through it.
