Medication unfortunately hasn't really helped my habit forming much. I'm slowly working on it though.
It's definitely helped a lot of my executive dysfunction, though it does have its drawbacks.
I do have days where I am more depressed than I ever have been, but only if I take it more than 3-4 times a week.
I'm not sure, but since it sounds like they opened the BIOS just to close it and boot normally, I would assume that they thought of it more as a command than an option.
I've seen it a lot since I work in an IT field. Sometimes people think that the computer is telling them to do something when really it's just giving the option to do something.
