It’s pretty much the only symptom that my meds help me with, when paired with the structure of a 9to5 job (it’s still not enough to make me function outside of work).
Having a 9-5 is such a trap for me. I excel as a waiter or barista, where I can manage lots of high priority/low importance tasks (I’ve been in customer service too long to really consider anything that happens in a cafe important, unless something’s on fire. The other important thing would be serving someone unsafe food, but I don’t fuck around with food safety), but just can’t make myself do low priority/high importance tasks with any regularity. I used to have a job where I was legally required to do things within 30/60/90 days and I regularly pulled all nighters to make up for weeks of inaction.
I would really like to earn more money than customer service yields, but it’s hard to find something that fits. I’ve started teaching, which is new and therefore not a problem, but I can already tell that I’ll let corrections go longer than I should once the shine of teaching wears off

My meds used to manage my executive dysfunction very well, but now they don’t I have been dragging my feet through the mud ever since.
