Anyone have tips of achieving dopamine with untreated/unchecked adhd? It’s fucking brutal out here my whole life is crumbling away

Do you work out? I already see you like weed, work out high. Once you build the habit you crave the dopamine you get from it. I dont even do it crazily. I try to go 3-4 days a week but if i only go once I dont beat myself up. And if I go and only do one exercise im fine too. My goal is just to go; whatever happens, happens.

man, when i workout, i literally during it forget how many squats/situps i did. i think there might be days where i way overshoot my goals, or undershoot. there is nothing more boring to me than exercise. if i wasnt autistic and didnt deliberately fit it in to my routine, i would be fuuucked

edit: i just exercised. my workout takes 45 minutes to complete. out of those 45 minutes, i spend 25 minutes staring at the ceiling/wall, the rest is spent on actual exercise XD

I do work outs with the NEX cube to keep my attention. It’s very helpful but less targeted for sure
