I have pretty severe adhd and I can tend to struggle with adhd paralysis and doom scrolling a lot.I have started watching videos about how to stop doom scrolling and the effects that it has on people's dopamine regulation. However, one thing I noticed is a huge demonization in using any form of content to entertain you while doing different tasks (ex, doing the dishes, homework, doing your favorite hobbies etc.) and this has me conflicted. I am not sure if this is my ADHD or me having dopamine dysregulation (more than I already do with adhd) or a mix of both, but I do rely on long form content (like 2-3 hr long youtube videos, movies etc), music or podcasts to help get through chores. A lot of the videos that I watch say that you shouldn't do that. I was wondering what yalls opinion on this is. I know that most of these videos are probably directed towards neurotypical people and that the creators might not have people with neurodivergency in mind. I am just feeling a little lost right now and honestly a little insecure on my reliance on technology to be able to do basic tasks and I want to hear the opinions of other people with adhd.
