This is a dangerous take, and I would recommend you do the reading to upgrade that feeling to a thought, with all the relevant context. The idea that someone should be a certain way, and that they shouldn't need a pill, is making some heavy assumptions about what's needed to exist in the world. This is something that's changing rapidly - one can no longer make a comfortable living doing many jobs, and most of those are the kinds of things you could do if focused thinking isn't in your wheel house. Speaking as someone who thought that way for a long time, and has a severe executive functioning disorder, I can tell you it was wrong minded. I spent over a decade trying to just "push through" because I felt "I should be enough without it" and I didn't want to be dependent on a medication. I flunked out of high school and then college, went through a series of careers that always flopped, and watched my relationships fail because I couldn't keep a job or a schedule. At some point, I became fed up with my situation and started seeking help. After admitting that I might need this help, things got immediately better in my head, and then in my life. I taught myself to code and I now work in tech, which is the story of career I had given up any hope of ever achieving. I no longer struggle to make ends meet and I have a stable and fulfilling life, which wasn't going to happen unmedicated. I know this because I tried. If this isn't you, then great. But please recognize that by putting up barriers to others getting this stuff, we've almost certainly forced people like me into lives that are measurably worse and less productive for society than they could otherwise live.
