When everything you need to do feels like the same amount of effort as climbing a mountain, there are going to be a lot of days where there’s not enough motivation in the tank to do those tasks.
Pressure or fear (such as a looming deadline or giant consequences that are immediate and understandable) can force you up the mountain, but instead of the leisurely hike it should have been, it becomes a mad scramble. This causes a significant amount of unnecessary hardship and is very unpleasant.
Basically, you let a bear chase you up the mountain because without it you’ll sit at the bottom forever.
Medication flattens the mountains into nice little hills, which means the motivation you have in the tank is now sufficient to get you up the hills without having to be chased by a bear.
