Hi,
I am coming here seeking advice. I am 21, studying and am currently doing an internship. But it’s not going well. I am struggling so much with getting disctracted and watching youtube. Even though i often do want to do someting, i often don’t do anything except watch youtube. When i do actually do something it’s often not what i need to do. It’s getting really tiring and i just want to be able to do the shit i want and need to do. I often watch youtube to have some sound, but i can’t turn it off after, it is also often the same with listening to podcasts. Often when i try to improve it only works for about a week and then i fall back into my same habbits. Do many of you struggle with this, and what do you do about it?
i do have medication. its quite old and like 2 years past its expiry date because i stopped taking it years ago and now sometimes try it. I also have planned a appointment with a therapist they are however not specialised in adhd
I’m not a doctor, but those meds can’t be safe. Some can last a while, but those are sealed. If yours are in a bottle, they can go bad, absorb moisture, and go stale. That’s what I’ve been told by others.

Yeah, this. Some meds genuinely “go bad” in the sense we use it for perishable produce - epinephrine, insulin, nitroglycerin and some antibiotics come to mind. But the overwhelming majority just lose potency.
But less potent meds can be risky in their own right. Some meds are very dosage dependent. Too low a dose of antibiotics taken over time can lead to building antibiotic resistance and lower their efficiency in the future, for example.
