I am addicted to dopamine.

My phone is one of the less harmful sources of a dopamine feedback loop.

Working with my therapist to get a hold on that.

Ugh same. I've tried to reduce screen time a few times but it inevitably leads to more skin picking/nail biting.

I've always been shit at being idle. There's so many other activities I've been suggested to try instead but none have worked (usually either because of adhd or the chronic tendinitis in my wrist).
