My "coping strategy" if you could call it that, was extreme procrastination and putting myself under extreme stress to the point where if I wanted to accomplish anything I needed to procrastinate to the point where I needed to pull multiple all nighters in a row.

I've lost hair and I've gained significant weight from the stress. Adhd medication has probably added years to my life. I can actually proactively accomplish things for the first time in 30 years of living.
