This is me. Help how do i do stuff?
Stimulants.... Or lots of coffee... I mean loooots of coffee
I got put on Ritalin. Was told it's a miracle drug. All it does is make me extra nervous and jittery but it doesn't help my (lack of) motivation at all.
Medication + therapy is the magic combo. Adderall was the magic bullet for me but I was lucky, and I hate that it only works for a limited time each day. And even then, it just makes actually doing things not suck. The drive, time management, and understanding what motivates me all come from therapy
The best analogy I found was it's like wading through a river to get to the other side. Medicine gets you out of the river, but you need therapy to find the bridge and cross it.
