    I think nothing.

    I’ve always suffered on and off with the mighty duo of depression and anxiety.

    I was then diagnosed, and medicated, with ADHD and things have certainly gotten better, particularly in terms of decision making and not making poor ones. Drug usage has dropped significantly.

    I was able to train and land a job in my ideal job (software developer). I now drive and have a car. Yet I still don’t feel happy.

    Like I can sing on the way to work and shout good morning to the cows as I drive past them, but still I feel empty at times.

    Even though I have my dream job, I have a feeling that there has to be more to life than this and also I get so down about perceived injustices in the world, although that has gone down since leaving Reddit.
