I am mostly motivated by the fear of disappointing other people

This is the thing the meds helped me the most with, stopped me caring about what other people thought

The problem for me is it stopped me caring about what other people thought. So the sense of urgency is gone and I just automatically assume everyone is disappointed in me so what's the point of doing anything?

The dissonance and apathy stage is a rough one.

I'm not apathetic, the meds just made me realize I'm capable and valuable and I don't need other people's approval to be capable and valuable
