Find a mental health psychiatrist near you and just schedule and appointment if you have the means to do so. Mention as much as you want to them, they're there to help you, not judge you. After you describe your feelings and problems, if you feel like saying "I tried a friend's Vyvanse once and It really did seem to help" and you can quantify X, Y and Z things in your life that really seemed demonstrably better it may be valid input.

I have been meaning to make an appointment and have a litany of problems in my life (both past and present) that stem from my inability to just get things done.

I mean I still haven't created an account with the electric company for my apartment after two months and it was supposed to be done when I moved in. Work is getting increasingly difficult because I'm letting deadlines slide, and never mind I barely graduated with a 2.091 in my major (minimum 2.0 to graduate) because I chose the hardest major that requires the ability to get hours and hours of work done a day.

Sounds like you're afraid of what may or may not be found out and you're upset, but comfortable with the way things are right now because it's the world you know and have come to accept.

Just make a phone call :)
