Getting off social media was definitely a life changer for me, but don’t forget to replace that doom scrolling with something else, otherwise you can feel empty and lost. Boredom is something you have to practice, otherwise you’re more likely to just find a new scrolling outlet to turn your brain off for a few hours.
I saw a few videos on YouTube that helped explain the dopamine science behind scrolling and what kind of activities can help build healthier habits, and I tried a few. The best thing for me has been listening to music. I used to listen to music all the time when I was young, but slowly my phone and tv kinda took over my time. Music is supposedly good for the same kind of dopamine hit as being creative gives you, and I can definitely tell that I feel way better after finishing an album rather than having just watched another hour of tv, or worse, getting trapped on the toilet forever because I got lost in the scroll.
There’s a lot of stuff you can cut out of your life that can help, but I guess you’ve gotta fill that time with better, healthier habits.
If you really want to go all out, get a record player. That made playing music a fun, involved activity for me, and it felt intentional. Oh and by the way, when I say listen to music, I mean like that’s what you’re doing, period. Dedicate your time to some tunes like you would if you were watching a show or a movie, and try to eliminate as many distractions as you can.
Maybe music will work for you, but hopefully I could help you discover something that will!

Hey friend,
I know exactly how you feel because I’ve been right there with you. I’ve gotta be honest it’s not gonna be easy to pull yourself out of this rut, but you are totally able to get out from under this weight.
You are tired because you are fighting your ADHD really hard, and it’s freakin exhausting.
As you unpack things from your mental weight, you’ll find each day getting a bit easier. Start small, but honestly a therapist is your best place to start for this.
There is an end. It feels impossible, I honestly started to tear up right now because of how life changing it is to finally unload that last bit of weight off your back. It is possible, and life doesn’t always have to feel like this.
It was really f’n hard. I have an extremely supportive partner that made the world of difference for me. I couldn’t have done this by myself, so don’t feel any shame when you ask someone to help you. People around you love you, and communicating your needs with them gives them the opportunity to show that love for you, and reaffirms that you are worthy of their love.
You are worthy of the love you receive. You deserve to love yourself. Just imagine how good it will feel to finally tell yourself that you love who you are and know that you mean it.
I hope this helps you, I’m just a regular person sharing my experience, thank you for sharing yours.

Hey DarkAngelAz, thanks for the clarification, but can you please share where you found the rules on Chancellor Palpatine. I’ve been searching online and can’t seem to find much, and I want to build a Twin Suns deck with him so I’d like to be able to look up any rules around him. Thanks!

I have a friend that bought a Bluetooth adapter for the auxiliary port, I have yet to try it out but it seems like the least expensive option. You can find them on Amazon like this one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07BLQ47MY/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

It is basically the SLT but with a bunch of chrome exterior pieces and a pearl white tri-coat paint. It’s a pretty nice off white and has every interior feature I can think of EXCEPT Bluetooth media support
