Rant-> not motivated to do anything

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed only two years ago, so my whole childhood, highschool and college was me with undiagnosed ADHD and an anxiety disorder. While the anxiety is now 80-90% under control, I struggle enormously with motivation specifically. I even can't get myself to do basic tasks or even start things I usually LIKE.

All I want to do is rot behind my computer and watch youtube and play games on my phone. I don't feel depressed and I am not stressed at all. I feel pretty happy other than feel bad that I'm neglecting my relationship and responsibilities (which I AM, fiancee and I have talked about this).

Medication isn't really an option for me since they will probably heighten my anxiety and lessen my hunger. (I'm borderline underweight and need to seriously watch my intake to stayin a healthy range, any hunger suppressant is NOT an option, even milder ones).

Therapy/coaching is an option but waitlists are extremely long and I'm already receiving therapy for my anxiety. Therapy for ADHD next to that is most likely not covered.

Any and all tips, tricks or other things are welcome!
