Good news! With the help of a good doctor and the right medication you to can have a functioning brain!
how do you get a good doctor?
Apply and in my country at least wait about 2 years and eventually they will get around to you.
Step 1: Have a brain that doesn't procrastinate.
I know from my own personal experience that this is partially true 😁
As in my brain DOES function many times better with meds than without, but I'm still far from optimally functioning and have made my peace with that lol
Have you tried experimenting with different dosages? Have you paired your medical treatment with different lifestyles? I found that certain lifestyles help me more than others.
I have, yes, in consultation with my doctor
Nah, I find that not changing anything about what I do and how I do it is the way to see real gains.
Yeah. For me, being a bulimic lawyer from Nova Scotia didn't help me AT ALL.
My current stint as a Danish smartass who bikes every day and eats a lot of cabbage and other fruits and veg is a MUCH better fit.
Yea. Living your life and eating healthy helps a lot. I am glad you're managing to get some exercise as well. It makes sense why this is a better fit. Honestly, those changes that helped me a lot.
If you are willing to jump through hoops to get them, and then cycle though a bunch that make you gain weight and lose your sex drive.
No thanks. I'd almost rather be dead.
