LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

Yeah.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

We've had the hot yoga phase, the Pilates phase, the running phase.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

I bought us really nice inline skates and we were going rollerblading around our estate.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

God, what did the neighbours think?

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

Anyway, that's a big yes from me.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

Yeah.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

I mean, big tick from me.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

So when I go into research mode, I start with one focus, which let's say I'm booking a hotel.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

I need to look at every single hotel that I could possibly stay in, read it, research it, see all the pictures to then make a short list to then make a decision.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

But what happens is obviously I read, I'm trying to do it perfect.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

So I read everything.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

So I burn myself out, but also my memory is bad.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

So by the time I've done it all, I've forgotten and then just end up in a loop.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

So I have to go back to the beginning.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

When I research, when we're going out for dinner, what vacuum cleaner to buy, like anything lets me fall into a research hole of which it can be hard to come out of.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

But I do understand why it's chasing dopamine because for the first hour, it can be quite pleasurable.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

Number three.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

I mean, I have made us move hotels before because I've got there and a dopamine reason why I've booked it.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

Let's say there's a warm pool with a bar outside and it's closed or the jacuzzi doesn't work.

LATE BLOOMERS
DOPAMINERS: 20 ways ADHDers chase dopamine

It's like a knife to the heart for me, yet it doesn't land great.
