Not all dopamine is created equal. Staring at your phone, bickering, empty calories, overeating, drinking, trolling on the internet, porn - all garbage dopamine sources, can feel good very briefly and will lead quickly to downward spirals.
You want to be seeking positive sources of dopamine that relate to an overarching life mission. ADHD is a life of extremes, but I believe you can learn to choose extreme positives.
i’m the envious one. getting easy dopamine from arguing online sounds great.
