Living simply, with ADHD.

[u/Impermanentlyhere]

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?

THIS is the post I can relate to the most. I have a habit of "emotional spending" any time I go to the store. This results in me having an excess of STUFF that I either can't keep track of (thanks, attention span) or just feel overwhelmed by, eventually. It feels like a never ending cycle and puts me in a state of stress or anxiety. I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but I will say you're not alone in the struggle and I'm in this group because I have the same struggles. I'm sure we'll find an answer, the people in this subreddit are very non-judgmental and very helpful :)
