Ugh, same. It's becoming increasingly clear to me just how much I used to rely on panic adrenaline to get things done. Now I'm trialing a new process of relying on medication and unfiltered autism.

Same, for me it was more like 35. I miss the panic monster so damn much… I feel like I can’t do anything anymore. I was on meds for several years, I feel like all it did was kill my creativity…

I thought it would be really liberating to get to the age where I stopped caring about what others thought of me and not feel social shame. But it resulted in no motivation to shower or brush my teeth.

Yup. 48 and had to stop working for a while, hit burn out and nothing works for motivation.

In my 20's now but lately I've learned to not worry too much and that it's not a big deal if I fail at something. This has transtaled in me not even trying to finish projects anymore lol.
