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:

  1. Scrolling
  2. Someone is wrong on the Internet
  3. Phone notifications
  4. Video games
  5. Maladaptive daydreaming
  6. Unfinished projects that should be quick to finish
  7. Sleep-deprivation-induced mania
  8. Alcohol
  9. Reading internet to drown out own thoughts
  10. Expensive hobbies

Same here. I read the list and my first reaction was "Hey I don't even do some of those anymore!".

I can't do alcohol and expensive hobbies because well they're expensive.
