Here it is, easy idea, difficult to take in:
What I'm trying to tell you, and have been for a very long time, is that you are OK as you are. You don't need to be anything or anyone else -- and you'll be a hell of a lot happier and more content once you learn that. Life is a lot easier when we accept who we are, and work towards our strengths -- rather than trying to be someone we just plain aren't.
You don't need to develop a workaholic attitude -- you need to learn that YOU are enough. You don't need to grow some vague thing called willpower -- you need to learn who you are, what your strengths are, and what you can do to develop those strengths.
What's more, although it's a hell of a lot harder to do without medication, it can be done. It can be done successfully. The first step is to decide that it's worth doing, the second step is to make the decision that you will do it.
Good luck.
