3 weeks ago I started Elvanse, and for the most-part, it's been pretty effective at doing what it's supposed to do. I can persist through boring tasks, don't suffer from multiple waves of fatigue a day, and can actually focus on what someone is saying. I'm by no means disappointed with how things have gone so far, in fact, I do feel like my expectations have been met, although I did lots of research into Elvanse and people's experiences with it before hand, so had fairly realistic expectations.

I guess my problem stems from finally being able to settle, if that makes sense. I used to constantly go through phases of wanting to pursue different goals and aspirations, from going to the gym, to wanting to become a software developer, ai engineer, or data analyst (honestly just something that gets me dolla from the comfort of my own home). I did regularly go to the gym and would sometimes study, although, my motivation for the gym generally stemmed from a constant feeling of irritability as I could just never relax, and my motivation for pursuing certain career paths stemmed from a feeling of wanting to constantly run away from problems and feeling like I have so much potential but don't know how to give it. Tbh that last part still kind of holds true.

Now that I don't constantly feel irritable and my emotions are more regulated, allowing me to not get so overwhelmed by small issues and search for hits of dopamine elsewhere, I feel a bit lost. I haven't gone to the gym as much. I don't feel the pressure to get a new career and escape a job that's wasting my potential. I can just settle. I feel like my goals and perspective on where my life should go have changed a bit, but I can't tell in what direction. Don't get me wrong, I do still want a job that allows me to feel more challenged, but I don't have as much of a desire to pursue it right this second.

I guess the main reason I've made this post is to see if there's anyone else that can relate to what I'm saying, and if they have any advice to give on the matter. Thanks for taking the time to read this :).

(Vyvanse is called Elvanse in the UK)
