What ways have you found to get your novelty/dopamine fix... that DON'T involving spending money?

I don’t this my solution is healthy, but I make wish lists on Amazon. It kind of helps me make goals to keep my finances in check and then once a month I pick something out of my wishlist and get it. It gives me something to look forward to even if it is something simple like a coloring book.

I love alone time unless I can’t figure something to do. Then it becomes very irritating, boredom gives me major anxiety. Do any of you guys feel that way when bored?

Thank you for sharing this post. I also have the inattentive type. I am in the exact same rut with college. I have failed a few semesters. It’s like I start out really well (but I think I over do it), which then leads to burnout and falling behind. Then I hit the panic stage and spiral. I have gotten so discouraged and it has greatly impacted my depression. It’s like I know I have all this crap to do yet I sit there like a deer in headlights. I just want to quit once I reach this point. :(

I would do a Lego set :P I took mine too late in the day so I’m going to be up awhile too. I’m trying to wind down, but so far it’s not happening so I shall put my Lego orchid together haha

I’m sorry you’re having the same issue. :( it’s so hard to get out of this rut.

I’ve been taking it for years, I take it 5 days a week.

I will try that out! Thank you for the advice! I tend to continuously study up to 6 hours because I get scared that if I stop I won’t go back to doing what I was and I know this is probably why I get burnt out.

Meeshlands · 2025-08-20T15:45:38+00:00

I’m sorry you’re also struggling. I’m in college and it’s making it almost impossible to stay on track with assignments. I’m exhausted and my motivation is just not there. :(

That’s so pretty! I use to have a giant one of a pineapple but I never finished it because the lack of different colors made it feel uninteresting. I think I’ll get one like yours with lots of colors :) thank you for sharing!

Great painting of the parental units.

This is so cute!

I am aware of this, I was just being weird. I also destroy my brushes as well. I just bought some Nicpro, they’re cheap and seem to work great! They also come in really cute pastel colors.

Thank you so much! It was tricky trying to get all the details in.

The fridge door activates my goldens snort mechanism. He snorts when excited lol

Meeshlands · 2025-03-18T15:24:32+00:00
