  • It got a lot better when I got on adhd medication, even though the medication doesn’t do much else for me yet.

    I think a certain reframing of depression has helped me too: It doesn’t just make you sad and tired, it also makes you cynical and very critical of any ideas that might actually help you out of it. So I went to people I mostly trust, asked them how to get out of the depressive slump, and just did whatever they suggested instead of following the urge to talk down their ideas and reason out why they won’t work for me. And honestly, it probably didn’t even matter what exactly their suggestions were, because just doing anything is enough to get some positive change started.
