Opened a warranty request for a pair of wireless earbuds that started acting up. Despite having seen reports from other users with the same issue successfully getting replacements I just couldn’t do it. Today I finally did the thing.

    I see it like this; Instead of raising our mood from say a base 0, we’re getting to 0 from a negative deficit. A net gain, but not really making you feel better.

        I’ve never heard of this before. It seems useful. Thanks for the intro!

        whoa, cool study. Never heard of this before, but it makes sense. I do still think ADHD brains process dopamine/seratonin differently - maybe that makes more or most things “hygiene factors”, where a neurotypical would have them more as a “motivator”?

        The common “oh I accomplished this, but it rather than elation, I just feel relief”, and if you don’t accomplish the stress of it being unmet

        This was news for me as well, bookmarked and looking forward to an in-depth read later - thank you!

        I’m always so happy to learn more about how this works so I can recognize and adapt. I know it works for many, but the thought of medication as the answer is something I really try to avoid.
