I just had to switch from Vyvanse to Adderall XR because the only pharmacy in my area that didn't have a backorder closed. It's only been a couple weeks but I greatly prefer the Vyvanse, however the Adderall is better than being unmedicated. Adderall isn't as "smooth" and it gave me a tummy ache and caused headaches due to inadequate hydration. Since I figured out the hydration issue the headaches haven't been a problem and I think the tummy ache was just due my old guts getting acclimated to a new medication.
All that said, I am in a similar boat financially, my insurance wasn't paying for the Vyvanse so I ended up using my entire HSA contribution every month, and the Adderall is $20.
I am in my 40s, Wall-e is probably my favorite movie, but that may speak more towards me getting some sort of validation from my neurodivergence assigning personalities and human-like emotions to inanimate objects.
I thought satisfactory at first too, but fluffy tailed hogs and lizard doggos don't seem to give a shit that I just built an oil pipeline and two dozen oil refineries in their home.
Lots of good technical starting points here. I don't want to prematurely discourage you, but before you get into any code, evaluate your problem solving abilities. If that is an area you struggle in, work on that first, or at least in conjunction with programming basics.
I've worked with engineers who have all the code skills, but when faced with a complex issue, struggled to break it down into it's simplest components and wound up with a messy, over-engineered solution.
This isn't an endorsement for brave, but the websites aren't loading properly because they are full of the trash that brave blocks, not due to bugs in the browser.
Echoing what others have said, get the meds. I'm 39 and have been taking Vyvanse for a couple years; when I forget I am a mess, I can't believe I made it this far without.
I've been working on this lately, what I find helpful is reminding myself that the chore doesn't have to be done perfectly, and that some progress is better than no progress. I struggle with perfectionism and will put off tasks indefinitely because of fear that if I start wrong or don't finish it immediately it won't be perfect. My therapist helped me to realize that perfect is the enemy of done, and that it is ok if something isn't done perfectly.
