Yeah I’ve had that in various forms through my life. I’m now in probably my best state. One thing that helped was switching from vyvanse to concerta. I don’t know why but vyvanse didn’t really help. It just made me hyper focus on anything but work.

Another is starting a new job. I don’t think I realized how bored or burnt out I was until I left and joined a new company.

Other than that all the basics: sleep, food, and exercise.

But it’s hard when it gets bad. The only other advice is have a good therapist and psychiatrist that you trust.

Out of curiosity, how do you describe your medication making you hyper focus on anything other than work? My psychiatrist has told me that means it's working, yet I feel like it is just a different sort of dysfunction.

I did consult both a therapist and psychiatrist and they tried helping me but with no success, the therapist did refer me to other mental health professionals to get psychological testing done.
