Ketamine treatment with a doctor well versed on the research is a grand idea. It's covered by some insurance these days if many other avenues were attempted with no improvements. I'd say based on your explanation here, you'd be a great candidate for ketamine treatment. Look up the options in your area and see what the requirements are for treatment as well as what insurance they accept. I know a couple of folks who've had life changing experiences from the treatment, just be sure not to go full Elon with it...Actually, never go full Elon with anything!

I mean I can still function... And really just beat myself up for having poor executive function and not getting up and starting.... But you're probably not wrong and I should perhaps look into the treatment possibly. Thanks for the information

Of course, no problem. When I was coming up I was always told you need to have a reason to put your feet on the floor in the morning. Sounds like you've tried other options to no avail, despite wanting to fix the problem. You should give it a go!

There's functional drug addicts out there, but when they get sober, they talk about how life's much easier compared to grinding through each day. While this isn't your story, it still shows how functional only means you're able to get by.
