Complete?
Please explain.
Hah! Why would I go to all that trouble when there are a million other things I could do to get the dopamine now?
Oh, yeah. Right. Because I need to do that one thing to keep my life from degrading. But…there are a million other things I could do. Shit.
When I complete something my anxiety about completing it goes away. But no dopamine. Just a drop in adrenaline and cortisol.
What I would give to have a dopamine response without feeding my brain my ADHD pills.
I can’t imagine how insanely nice it must be to have a brain that just… makes the shit you need.
Dopamin isn’t released after the task, it’s released as you think you will do it.
Damn my imagination, I get all the dopamine my brain wants from just thinking about doing things, then I don’t do them!
Fooled again by … yourself!
JK, hope you do do things after all (stop doom scrolling if you do ;-)
