I’m going to comment so I can come see answers later, because this is all very familiar…


Yes! The timer function on my phone has really helped my cooking improve.


Ritalin did basically nothing, from what I remember. Wellbutrin turned me into a teenage rage monster. I hated it and finally used that anger to convince my parents I shouldn’t be taking it.

I haven’t had marijuana slowly steal my ability to deal with stress, but I’ve noticed that it’s not something I have to do every day, or to excess, to get the positive effects on my ability to focus.


I was diagnosed with it back when it was called “ADD”. I’ve spent the past couple of decades just making sure that stuff I need every day is in the same place (or I will lose it forever) and making sure I know what I need to get done today, and it sort-of made me into a person who can cosplay as a responsible adult for 8 hours at a time.

Various medications have been tried and discarded as useless, including Ritalin and wellbutrin. The only thing that has helped is marijuana, which was a wild thing to accidentally figure out in my 40s. Imagine if a lovely woman gave you a little piece of gummy candy and it made it where you could think straight and focus for the first time in your life.
