yep for sure adhd = no dopamine no dopamine tasks are exhausting  truly i had a fight with wanting to draw earlier get up grab sketchpad intense exhaustion and aversion so i’d go put it back down then i’d lay in bed fully awake repeat about 3 times i didn’t have anything i wanted to draw it was just for practice so i didn’t want to do it it was exhausting  adhd finds “extra energy” for fun things because ur brain is seeking a -minimal- level of stimulation to function it’s not finding the extra energy for fun things it’s finding fun things to have energy   people without adhd have no need to do stimulating or fun things constantly because they don’t get exhausted with tasks- because they have a normal level of dopamine in the brain  what’s worked candy while studying a lot videos while studying getting up and exercising every 15 minutes or so annnnd my prescription adhd medicine basically anything that you can do to make your brain stimulated while doing something you don’t want to do  edit if you’re interested look up “why stimulants help adhd” on youtube and the first couple vids do a good job explaining how we clinically don’t have dopamine and how that affects us it’s interesting and very affirming to know this is very very real
