Mine is also both.
Motivation and drive were a problem for me and staying on tasks and keeping to responsibilities was a problem. Feeling sad, anxious, panic, agoraphobic and irritable was awful in addition to accomplishing NOTHING. The best change I have seen is the ability to accomplish those tasks and have a level of contentment with my life. There has also been a huge change in outlook overall.
I think it's very individualistic how people measure wellness and wellbeing. For some, I think one improved trait can be the starting point for another.
Functional and miserable is possible but I would not see that as feeling better. I need both for a decent quality of life and I have, gratefully, achieved that for now and that change happened with my AD.
I hope you find a workable treatment for you, Link.
