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?
