Am I overestimating just how much they will help me?
I have an assessment soon, and I am absolutely confident i have it, so if i get on ADHD meds, will they help me read books again? will they help me study? will they help me get back to work if able? How much do they help with executive dysfunction?
I feel as though I’m putting all my eggs in the ADHD meds basket.
How much do they help you?
They’re necessary but not sufficient. I need to maintain good habits like exercise, rest, and socialization, and it still takes a fair bit of effort, but all things considered they’re the difference between me starting something and continuing it or related tasks to an acceptable condition and me throwing something on the stove, starting cleaning, getting distracted from that by an idea I wanted to look up, and being distracted from that by the smoke alarm
