I have done the same thing, as I suspect we all have. I was out of pills for several days, not for a month. For me it was the overwhelm that came back.
Suddenly, somehow, it was 2:00 in the afternoon, and I’d been going like crazy and nothing checked off of my list of priority tasks.
It’s a reminder that pills don’t build skills. They level the playing field, but you still have to go out and play the game. And ideally, the medication allows you to get motivated and stay focussed on what should be the biggest priority–putting in structures that help with focus, motivation, ending procrastination, and so on. Even when I take my medication, if I don’t work from my agenda, I’m way less productive.
