Can anyone attest, is this true?
Somewhat
Its not as much of a struggle to start everyday tasks
This is such a simple statment but for me, it makes all the difference! It's a compounding effect too, so in the evening, I still have enough reserves and I'm not on edge or dead tired from fighting my brain all day.
I think it's a good analogy.
In my experience, it depends. Sometimes you feel like you're the dog, sometimes you're still the one dragging it but it does become smaller, sometimes it feels as huge as it's ever been and doesn't feel any easier.
It's not a magical "solve all your problems" pill but it still helps.
Seems apt to me. I describe it as suddenly being in the driver’s seat, and realizing just how much I wasn’t.
At least for the first week and a half, when your body adjusts and then realize why it can be a very long process to find the right dosage and strategy. (Come back focused productive me, that was great.)
The medication unlocks the door, but you still need to walk through it. You can end up hyper focusing on the wrong shit so it still takes a little willpower to get you on task
How do you will yourself to the right thing? Is it a matter of creating the right environment? Being mindful?
Wish I had a solid answer for you but it’s different every time. Just…doing it I guess. Stop putting it off and just start it.
