thank you for the sound advice. I&#x27;m checkout out bulletjournal and will likely at least try the medication route, assuming a doctor agrees and officially diagnoses me.<p>I was on Ritalin for a short time when I was around 14, I was as anti-medication then as I am now, didn&#x27;t notice a difference and started refusing to take it after a month or so. I remember depression being mentioned at the time, although I don&#x27;t know what the official diagnosis was.<p>The one medication that did seem to have great effect scared me so bad that I stopped taking it and refused to take any more -- percocet. I was prescribed some after oral surgery and threw it out after taking it for a couple of days. During that time, the house was cleaned spotless, laundry done and folded, even ironed my shirts and hung them (as opposed to my typical pattern of snatching them from the dryer and ironing them immediately before I wear them), and many other things were done that I would have normally procrastinated and waited until the very last minute. From talking to others, this doesn&#x27;t appear to be a normal reaction to opioids.
