I'd hate to bean soup it but, what about ADHD ppl? I am aware that doom scrolling is frying my nervous system and am making a conscious effort to detox, but having at least 2 input streams has been a constant throughout my ADHD life. Is it necessarily overstimulating when it feels regulating to an ADHD system?

I realize since I got tinnitus that I need background noise all the time so I don’t have to hear the hum of the tinnitus. Not great

I purposely make background noise- whether that’s running the tv in the background or music… so that probably needs some work… yikes.

Feel this 1000% I spend so much time on tik tok. I listen while I drive, while I work, doom scroll for hours until bed. It legit is an ocd habit. I could be in the middle of a movie and still pull out my phone. Makes me crazy

I relate to all of these — because of my adhd sometimes I do need to keep my mind busy so I don’t spiral but then that becomes a habit and I found myself reaching for the next stimuli even when my mind is calm and I could just enjoy that calm!

Omg this is me on every level 🥺 I’ve been explaining to a friend that i don’t fell right anymore and not even sleeping well anymore. I think I’m being overstimulated by my phone/social media scrolling! Something is on all day long whether it’s scrolling watching post, reading comments of posts or having YouTube and audiobooks in my ears while working!! I hardly even watch tv anymore. Just my phone. Thank you for this post. I have some life changing work to do.😟

The doom scrolling translating into rushing to absorb the information by hitting the 2X button 😔

Totally agree with this. I feel like I wanna cook this recipe, I want to redo my makeup, I want to redo my hair, I want to Gray blend my hair, I want to see that outfit on my midsize body, I wanna watch, cute dog videos, I want to watch political content, or do I,?

Some days I can be content with quiet no tv or podcasts while doing chores…But most days I can’t even take a shower or fall asleep without some sort of background noise. Because my mind won’t be quiet so I need a distraction

I use all these methods to push the pain out of my head. I've had fibromyalgia for 40 years. I also have EDS. So I don't know which is worse. The pain or the over stimulation.

The only thing overstimulating me is how absolutely mind-bogglingly annoying most people are, ie. my coworkers. The smallest amount of time I spend away from them, magically my overstimulated brain calms down.
