  • I did, back in… 2005-6? Somewhere around there. I’m from the US, so the first part of your comment applies to me, but at the time iTunes let you put music from the CDs you owned into your collection, and made it very easy to load music onto an iPod. I was 16, with some of my first disposable income from my first job. Couldn’t get music easily from anything but CDs or iTunes (Or Kazaa/Limewire, but that’s a different story) at the time so it just made sense. Around the time I realized I was locked into the platform by my purchases I stopped buying there and started streaming or buying CDs again.

    Hey there. Went through something similar about five years ago now. For me, the path to testing was through depression and anxiety therapy. Went to sessions for about a year exploring CBT with no success, and I kept mentioning my issues focusing. Eventually my therapist recommended looking into medication, and had added ADHD to my diagnosis. The meds specialist I saw immediately recommended treatment via Vyvanse. I know this isn’t a straightforward path and might not work for you, but it got me to the point where there was at least some progress instead of constantly being stonewalled. A heads up, if you’re dealing with depression around your exhaustion and focus issues getting treatment for ADHD isn’t a cure all. I’m still working on a lot to try to get back to a healthy place. But it definitely makes it easier to work your way forward. Best of luck.
