    i’ve known about this shit for a while. social media killed my attention span years ago. adderall doesn’t help, you need some serious top-down compensatory strategies to deal with it

      As someone who fought against the idea of just getting outside for years I’ve started doing more outside activities and I find that it helps alot more than I wish to admit.

      Maybe that’s because I’m doing it all stoned outta my gourd though?

      Have you tried weed?

      Gatekeep at the grocery store. It’s easier to resist eating a full tub of Oreos by deciding not to buy them in the first place

      It’s easier to moderate what platforms you use than it is to resist their affect on you. Restrict where and how you are exposed to short form video and what kinds of social media you use

      Also, take magnesium glycinate, but not on an empty stomach. Basically everyone with ADHD has a magnesium deficiency that makes the symptoms way worse

        Yup. People need to delete the apps from their phones. If they can‘t take that step they‘re not desperate enough for change.
