Opened a warranty request for a pair of wireless earbuds that started acting up. Despite having seen reports from other users with the same issue successfully getting replacements I just couldn’t do it. Today I finally did the thing.

    I see it like this; Instead of raising our mood from say a base 0, we’re getting to 0 from a negative deficit. A net gain, but not really making you feel better.

        whoa, cool study. Never heard of this before, but it makes sense. I do still think ADHD brains process dopamine/seratonin differently - maybe that makes more or most things “hygiene factors”, where a neurotypical would have them more as a “motivator”?

        The common “oh I accomplished this, but it rather than elation, I just feel relief”, and if you don’t accomplish the stress of it being unmet

        This was news for me as well, bookmarked and looking forward to an in-depth read later - thank you!

        I’m always so happy to learn more about how this works so I can recognize and adapt. I know it works for many, but the thought of medication as the answer is something I really try to avoid.
