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
Yeah, I didn’t want to influence the poll too much with my own stuff but was reflecting on it alone and that is definitely in my top 5 and probably top 3. It’s an abiding one too.
