    And then there is that song that is just a never ending stream of dopamine. 50 times, 100 times, doesn’t matter, it just goes on

    That’s the magic of a good mixtape–it can take you so many familiar but wonderful places one after the next and the next and the next etc. I know it will all eventually get old in the same fashion, but it keeps the fire burning longer ♥️… then you gotta wait for the next “open season” listening phase where I’m receptive to new sounds to add new finds to the next "songs that are everything right now"mix and begin the cycle anew (with some choice selections from the previous mixes, naturally)

      This is the latest one I’ve been wearing out.

      Any one of the three has a whole library of mixes worth looking into so to get them all together you know it’s gonna be great. Especially when they put a constraint on like no drums.

    Yeah, A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold gave me that sonic rush today, but this will be the first time I can say I am definitely not going to listen to this one on repeat.

      Why? Didn’t you always know that his little crime would be cold? That’s why he bought a heater for… Well, you know.

      I fucking love that song so much. That whole album is my favorite of theirs.

        It is. So good. I haven’t stopped analyzing it since I heard it yesterday. My friend showed it to me when I was in high school, but it’s been a long while since I’ve even thought about it.

        Obviously, the actual musical composure of the song is gorgeous. I mean, really one of the most beautiful pieces I have heard in my lifetime. Infectious earworm, as well.

        The lyricism is so well considered. I keep getting blown away by how the story of each verse changes the meaning of the chorus.

        It really is an all time masterpiece… in the same vein as Eraserhead, or The Girls of Porn by Mr. Bungle. I don’t think I could listen to it all the time, though I may give it a listen through again to try to get it out of my head. Not a great song to have as an earworm; when could you sing it through the work day?

    Then you hear it again a few weeks later and it’s annoying so you skip it. Er…is that just me?

      It is, in fact, one of the most common ADHD symptoms. You don’t get dopamine from anywhere and then you find a song that you really like and pumps it out. So you listen to it over and over and over and over again, almost like self medication, to get the dopamine you don’t get elsewhere.

          I have my tv always on the background and on the comedy channel. By this time I’ve already watched Friends and Big Bang Theory more than 15 times. At least something new started recently and I’m watching The Office for the first time, so I guess that’s something.

        One of these centuries I need to go and start… thinking… about maybe possibly one day getting the information about someone I might eventually call for a diagnosis. Eventually… Lol

        I keep seeing meme after meme and I just rationalize it like “ok, but I’m sure it’s not exclusive to ADHD” over and over and over and over lol as it stands I’ve been listening to “chasing daylight” from a game I play for like the last week…

          I’d encourage you to make it a priority and get evaluated if possible. Having access to medication or just targeted treatment has made a world of difference to me.

          I have been living this reality for the past months, continually seeing myself in so many of these posts.

          I have an appointment on December 8. I need to get help.

      Despite common public perception, ADHD is a lot more than just the “Squirrel!” brain disorder it’s usually known as.

      Not the opposite, It is however not uniquely ADHD related.

      I suffer from chronic depression and it’s one of the few ways I get to squeeze a bit of “happy chemicals” out of my brain.

        Yeah, as someone with ADHD, seeing memes like this and then going in the comments to see OP call this “in fact, one of the most common symptoms of ADHD” makes me understand why professionals have issues with ADHD-centered content.

        There’s way too many people in these comments going “uh oh, I’m in this meme” when its like “Nono, there’s plenty of reasons you could be doing this without ADHD being involved. Please talk to a professional to rule those out first.”
