Non-stimulant medication can come in.

Like, meditation can come in.

Like, let's actually, like, let's start by just putting out the fires.

Then we'll worry about rebuilding.

So I don't deal with them at the same time.

I usually try to deal with them sequentially.

So once you have some stability in your life, then let's ask this question.

And this is usually the thrust of the question I ask.

You've been here on this planet for 35 years, let's say.

You've gone this whole life.

You've been struggling so much.

Now you finally feel like things are under control and you're doing better.

This is a win, right?

This is good.

No.

What's it like to have to work this hard?

After all of this time, just to get back to normal.

What's it like to let everyone else just figure this stuff out and you've been suffering for 35 years and you had to come to my ass and this office for six months just to get your shit basically put out the fires?

What's it like to have lived a life where working so hard just gets you to normal?

And that's when the tears come.
