I feel the hedonism goblin coming back

I have ADHD (unmedicated because I'm afraid of medication) and I've been able to manage it well enough through lifestyle stuff ie keeping busy so my screen time doesn't get too high, staying active, journaling, and not drinking and only smoking weed very sparingly.

Recently I got sick for a few days so I was on my phone way too much. And the other day I smoked a joint with my friend. Now I feel the urge to go back to my bad habits of smoking and scrolling way too much. Recently my screen time has been creeping up.

It sucks because I feel like I have to work so hard just to be normal, but in a way I feel like it also keeps me in check because I want to keep a healthy lifestyle. I've never been on medication and I don't know how things will be if I get on it.

Anyways it's just annoying I feel like I have to be so hyper aware of all my habits to not let them take control of me.

Any other fellow ADHD rs members have advice? Should I just try medication?

Physique posting kinda nervous

I want to gain some more muscle on my lower body but depression is kicking my ass so I hadn't been eating enough

updating to include my routine since some ppl were wondering(some of my routine is kinda weird I hope this makes sense):

lower body day: hip thrusts 4 sets x 10 reps- 85 lbs, 85, 95, 100

Bulgarian split squats- 1 set of 10 reps with 50lbs. drop set 40, 20, body weight (10 reps for each)

Squats- 3 sets 10 reps- 65 lbs, 75, 85

Single leg rdls- 10 body weight reps supported, 10 bw reps unsupported, 10 reps 20lbs supported, 10 reps 20lbs unsupported

Back day: pulls up 3 sets 6ish reps. 1 set 20 reps scapula pulls

Lat raise/ overhead press combo idk 4 sets 10 reps

Single arm row quadruped position one leg up to work core. 4 sets 10 reps, 12 lbs

Rdls 4 sets 10 reps 45 lbs

That's all the lifting I do and then on the days I don't go to the gym I go hiking or do a full body Pilates/ yoga workout but hard not some easy floor workout bullshit.

Also eating healthy makes a big difference I try to prioritize protein and fiber in most of my meals
