    When I complete something my anxiety about completing it goes away. But no dopamine. Just a drop in adrenaline and cortisol.

    What I would give to have a dopamine response without feeding my brain my ADHD pills.

      I can’t imagine how insanely nice it must be to have a brain that just… makes the shit you need.

        Technically all the dopamine you need is there, it’s just that there aren’t enough receptors to receive it. Hardly more than a semantic difference though, besides being even more frustrating knowing it’s literally all up there but there aren’t enough doors for it to squeeze in to the party bus fast enough.

    Dopamin isn’t released after the task, it’s released as you think you will do it.

      Damn my imagination, I get all the dopamine my brain wants from just thinking about doing things, then I don’t do them!

    Hah! Why would I go to all that trouble when there are a million other things I could do to get the dopamine now?

    Oh, yeah. Right. Because I need to do that one thing to keep my life from degrading. But…there are a million other things I could do. Shit.
