Happy New Year ADHDers!
As promised, here are the results of our scientifically rigorous poll about which things are the worst for taking over your dopamine system:
- Scrolling
- Someone is wrong on the Internet
- Phone notifications
- Video games
- Maladaptive daydreaming
- Unfinished projects that should be quick to finish
- Sleep-deprivation-induced mania
- Alcohol
- Reading internet to drown out own thoughts
- Expensive hobbies
Same here. I read the list and my first reaction was “Hey I don’t even do some of those anymore!”.
You made it through the whole list??
Shit. I just realized I went straight to the comments!
I skimmed it.
