1) diagnose, are you burned out or depressed, or adhd etc? Then 2) treat accordingly, concerta and sleep does wonders for me


I haven't ever worked hard enough because of my executive dysfunction to be worked out, and I am ashamed of that.

Don't have adhd, could be depressed possibly but since this has been a lifelong thing, as long as I have been, can't be sure if i am depressed because of the dysfunction or dysfunctional because of depression.


Burning out has little to do with the amount of work and everything to do with the what that work got you.

Burnout comes from the wheel not moving the car, not from the energy applied to moving the wheel.
