i’m really not sure what it was. maybe i’ve always been like this, but i really began to notice it in college. maybe it’s because of covid, maybe it’s a combination of things. but in elementary and middle school i was always a really hard worker. i had trouble focusing so things took me longer, but in college and now it’s like task paralysis. my mental health got pretty bad around the end of sophomore year so i had to lower the dose and add on something else, but i still feel like it just feels

i was on it for a little and i didn’t notice a change, but ive always had issues with task initiation and self discipline. however it is a ‘muscle’ that can be trained and exercised, so you’re definitely capable of developing that skill!

I have this problem too but I’m not medicated so I just write a bunch of lists and I gave up tv to try and bore myself into doing it bc I get so stressed out when I have stuff to do that I can barely function but if I have nothing to do that stresses me out to bc I feel like life is going a million miles a second and I’m not on the train. I’m always late too and most of the time I’m just like whatever there’s nothing I can do about anything anyway so I totally get where you’re coming from.

impossible for me to force myself to do things. i don’t know if it’s laziness but i definitely just have a huge problem with self discipline. i just feel tired all the time and even though im anxious about what i have to do. i cant make myself do it. i genuinely just cant stop sitting here and doing nothing
