How so?
No more racing thoughts hamstringing my abilty to do stuff. No more unreliable surges of motivation. I'm much more consistent and stable. But i still have to temper my expectations regarding what I can get done in a day.
Is the drive still there at all? Only a few days of no-dose and I no longer have the energy or consideration to even be motivated.
It was explained to me that my drive was primarily based on my bipolar disorder. Since that is now gone I have to develop an alternative to stay motivated. I've been told to take it slow, day by day and work up to doing bigger and bigger things. I don't think I'll ever be a workaholic again. My life is simple and I get a little more productive everyday without burnout.
Thanks. Doc and I had a conversation about it just recently. He's closing shop which means I'm back to shuffling record releases that go many moves and a decade plus long. There's a quality of life that I've come to appreciate; it can get expensive finding a doctor that shares the same viewpoint.
