> I struggle to motivate myself to do the dishes and other household chores.
One thing I have found is that truly mindless chores like dishes are great because I can let my mind wander and do whatever it wants. The chores that I struggle with are ones that require focus/attention/thinking. Stuff like organization, where I have to sit and think about where each thing goes, and arrange and rearrange, those are a nightmare.
> Unfortunately, it is difficult to get, and I have to visit a doctor's office once a month to keep my prescription filled
Not sure where you are but my psych used to make me come every month for a refill. I moved and before I found a new psych I had to make an appointment with a regular family doctor. She was more than willing to write my script and only asked me to come every three months. I think the key was that I had been on the same dose for years and was organized with all my medical history. But don't take it as a given that monthly appointments are required.
