    The process to get medicated is so tedious, but can be absolutely worth it!

    Ritalin didn’t do much for me, even at the highest dose it helped me spend a little less time on the phone while getting distracted by other things instead, while completely killing my appetite.

    Since ~2 months I’m on Lisdexamphetamine, and it really made a massive difference. Writing papers used to be an absolute struggle against myself, while now it’s just something I don’t enjoy but push through. Downside is the crash in the evening, when the symptoms come back in force. But part of it is definitely the fact that I still try to use every minute of focus like before, with the difference now that I am much more focused in general
