Honestly, without any pressure, I become a puddle of goo

Its a gift and a curse. For work I always seem to somehow pull miracles out of my ass, but only last minute. It's likely that days of panic and anxiety are what fuel my miracle powers

I'd rather just never have to deal with the pressure. Doesn't matter if it brings out my motivation and focus. It's unpleasant to be worrying about it the whole time. I'd rather function normally and be able to handle situations as they happen than procrastinate even if I get great results because instead of spending the time on it immediately I'm wasting energy and feeling stressed by putting it off. Only time it's useful is in real emergency situations which I also don't intend on getting myself into.

Atomoxetine has neturalized almost all anxiety for me.

Now I don't have the panic-fueled motivation to do things (◐‿◑)
