    Telling you out of my personal experience: It’s not worth seeking professional help. I started helping myself. I did the opposite of what physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists told me, and I’m feeling much better now. I started understanding how I function. I started working on myself and I readjusted my priorities. I learned to stop caring about all unnecessary responsibilities. And now I accept myself the way I always have been - not how people tell me to do.

    People always judge me. It’s this ubiquitous fear and my true weakness. I learned to let go. Be the weird guy. But it’s all fine to me now.

    Next step I’m working on: stop forcing myself to burnout at work. I don’t need to accomplish all my goals for the day. I have more time for them than I would expect. It’s better in the long run.

    I don’t need the stimulants which the doctor wants to prescribe me. I’ve been highly functioning because of my fears, but I decided to stop relying on them constantly. The time for a more relaxed life has started now.



  • Meditation bores me. It actually feels more like stress and work while nothing is happening and I don’t benefit from it.

    Similar applies to yoga, but at least it has some effects on me: I fall asleep during the relaxation part. Also afterwards, I feel calm like being stoned. Actually feeling stoned.

    I tried doing yoga for some months, but It wasn’t my thing.
