Living simply, with ADHD. Seeking Advice

How does one shift towards a more simple life with dopamine seeking behaviours/habits caused by ADHD? Can anyone relate? I hyperfixate on the next expensive skin product or gym class or influencer or kitchen appliance that I think will make my life better and it all adds up to mental and physical clutter. I have too many possessions and it never feels like enough- I really want to minimise but then I’ll go through a low season and impulse buy more. My brain feels like it wasn’t built in way that’s conducive to a slow, grateful life. It’s always, “what’s next” can anyone relate?

I RELATE! ME ME ME!! Also seeking all advice in this area. I was feeling like I was making progress then majorly regressed recently. You are not alone in this at all. I’m not medicated and starting to feel if it would help, and if so I would really like to try speaking to a psychiatrist about it.
