Do you guys notice when youre keeping your brain active and busy its fine (hyperfocusing on multiple projects, manic business etc) . But if you want to wind down you feel the need to drink so it slows your brain down? If I dont, my brain never stops and its hard to enjoy doing something that isn’t one of my 3000 projects.
I especially find this with gaming. Its very hard to stay engaged in any game without drinking because its a “waste of my time”
Oh man. “Inner restlessness” is probably my least favorite ADHD symptom. I’m not outwardly hyperactive but my defective little brain sure is.
I used to treat it daily with Jim Beam but that’s not a good way to live either.
Now I take my bed time meds (including melatonin) about 3 hours before bedtime and put on my blue light glasses. It’s not perfect but it’s better than it used to be.
