My horse is amazing, performs like a fucking champion...only when he's interested in the task.

Otherwise my horse is a real ass.

For me it's like my horse is always gallopping. If I don't put a ton of effort into into guiding it it will end up running down. The wrong path and I have to circle back to find where we went turned off. Medication makes my horse run even faster but also improves my ability to keep up with it most of the time. But if I "miss my turn" I can end up way more lost than if I were unmedicated, leading to a lot of "wait, why did I walk into this room?" Moments as my mind starts thinking about something else in the mental downtime of walking between rooms.
