I want to help my ADD through maladaptive daydreaming, need the same dopamine as watching TV/redditing, when not watching TV. I can't focus on or do anything, everything is so boring. All I do is vegetate watching tv shows, I want to stop but I need some other way to get continuous dopamine.

I'd much rather have that tbh. All I do is keep rewatching the same sitcoms I've already seen 10 or even 50 times. I do branch out to other sitcoms or shows sometimes, but I get no enjoyment from it anymore. Watching tv shows and browsing youtube/reddit is basically all I did my entire life. I'm in my late 20s now and I've missed my entire life. I'd rather be in my own head, addicted to daydreaming than watching tv shows or browsing the internet. I don't learn anything new, I don't even enjoy myself. I just vegetate and consume. I can't even play video games properly, I just return to vegetating in front of a tv show. At best I can play a game while having a tv show in the background, but I'll return to browsing reddit/youtube or watching a tv show very soon. Usually the gaming session would be interrupted every 2 minutes alt tabbing anyway.

I'd much rather daydream. How do you daydream mate?
