ADHD & Dopamine #shorts #adhd

Picking skin is a YES, also daydreaming about things that will never happen, that's no. 1 for me

[Smiley_Boi]

I don’t speed for dopamine. I speed because I’m bored and want to get… Want to get to… To my destination faster.. I see your point.

The adhd induced daydreams have gotten so deep that I have a multiversal lore that I can’t share with anyone else

[loydanderson-pak]

Oh man, I've struggled with opioid addiction for years and it never clicked with me that that was just a symptom of my adhd. I'm a year sober and was able to do so by getting a diagnosis and being put on medication to help. It just sucks I can never tell my psychiatrist about my substance abuse disorder unless I want him to take away my meds and to blacklist me from ever getting opioid pain meds again even if I legitimately need them

I have ADHD & CPTSD. I remember the day I decided to stop lying. I was 19. I realized the only 2 people I lied to were my parents and I was grown and didn’t want to do that anymore. IT’S TOO STRESSFUL!! 1st of all, how can I even remember anything but the truth when I can’t even remember anything at all most of the time!? 🤣🤣 And mainly, I decided to live by THE GOLDEN RULE, and I being lied to. So yeah, I’m a speeder (for sure) & a truth-teller.

I’ve never thought about whether or not telling the truth gives me a dopamine rush. It probably does. Makes me feel really good about myself & my relationships. 😇

God bless!

Don't forget the revenge bedtime procrastination!

"Just one more video." "Just one more video." etc.
"Oh no, I can hear the birds chirping outside."

[ashieasherson]

i literally was staring in the mirror picking at my skin rught before this. STOP. CALLING. ME. OUT. PLEASE.

[dantevalehuntik]

Snacking is my main one. Mainly the cromchy snacks like pringles. I have zero self restraint when it comes to the cromchies

[rutbyrr]

OMG LYING YOURE SO RIGHT when I was little I would lie about random stuff that I thought was cool because people around me would always be like “omg no way that’s so cool” and it would make me feel really happy

[Pepper-sgrc]

For me, sometimes I drive fast bc I leave late bc of poor time management bc of adhd. Also sometimes I just feel impatient that my body has to just sit and wait until the car gets where it’s going. Sometimes I want that to be over as soon as possible

the nonstop music that plays in my head to drown out my thoughts wont stop helllp

[harmonicaveronica]

If you live in a place where it's safe to bike, I gotta say, biking is WAY more fun than going fast in a car. Especially if you get going down a hill, you can go 25mph or more sometimes. Plus it's exercise, and exercise is a much healthier way to get dopamine

[ObsessiveCelestial]

I like to listen to one specific part of a song and imagine the same scenario with different endings and pick which ending I like more and repeat it.

[kayrenee]

I'm learning ways to catch myself when I have a trigger to do something like this and redirect. Its like calling myself out. Gets easier the more you do it. I laugh at myself a lot.

[ArtemisMoon]

Recovering alcoholic, former smoker, and have a need for speed. I feel called out. 😅

[mirandazepeda]

Picking my skin is the worse. I'll get hyperfixated on every pore

[bystandersarah]

Lying is a part of masking to appear normal😢 it’s not usually important stuff but it sucks because you do it so you won’t have to explain the craziness because ppl will not understand and you don’t even understand because you didn’t know you had adhd

[bagqins]

i love lying to strangers, like i'm gonna go out and just create a whole new person

[thiweygulber]

For my ADHD self, regulating screen time (Phone, TV, YouTube, video games, etc) has been excruciatingly harder than quitting smoking.
