Correct medication is love

[soc_puppet]

Oh Maude, lesson learned: I should never pretend to be even remotely responsible while switching long-term ADHD meds. Also, Bupropion + my body chemistry = love. (And + my wallet = love, because $1/pill is vastly superior to $6/pill, let me just say. Sorry, Strattera, our relationship is over. Don't come knocking on my door again.) On Thursday-ish, the med switch finally kicked in, and being responsible actually started to seem like a viable option rather than way too much effort to be worth the reward. Feeling productive > not feeling productive.

Seriously, I've finally gotten some drafts written for stuff I need to send out for my job as AI Accessibility Person Extraordinaire, putting energy into job-stuff is starting to sound reasonable, and transcribing crochet patterns now sounds useful and intriguing instead of like boring busy-work.

I've still got some things I need to do; I've had a problem with preferring instant gratification to long-term reward for quite a while now, but I think I can start re-programming myself to find something enjoyable in, say, exercising and eating my vegetables, If the preliminary work takes, all I need to do is reinforce the hell out of it, and then maybe it'll stick long-term. That's the plan, at any rate.

Socchan, go! Be the change you want to see in the world yourself! *dramatic pose*
