I have so many things I want to do but just can't. Play a video game, read a book, take dog for walk, build a gadget I bought parts for, finish writing a song, finish building a computer... But no, I just sit there stuck. How do I get unstuck?

If you are undiagnosed and unmedicated, you can try a very strong cup of coffee, or an energy drink. Ritalin is also a stimulant, and caffeine has similar effects.

Beware though, if you consume caffeine regularly, this won't work.

My recommendation: drink only water on normal days, drink very strong caffeinated drink in case of emergency.

It does give you a headache later in the day, and/or the day after, so keep that in mind.

I already have coffee daily. Extra does work occasionally.

It’s helpful, but it’s no replacement for good meds. Not all stimulants are created equal.

Thanks for the addition, I never meant to imply that but I should have specified. For me personally it's the best I can legally get because I can't get a diagnosis.
