When you need to detox!!
The more junk food dopamine you consume (doomscrolling, alcohol, pawn o graphy, etc) the higher your tolerance for dopamine becomes, meaning you need more and more and more to feel good!!
If you are finding nothing is making you feel good any more, you may have pushed that bar too high and need to reset it. (Check out the linked video for tips on how to do that).
Dopamine saturation is very closely linked to burnout. I’m not saying it’s the only reason for burnout, but it can definitely be a big contributing factor.
After a detox you will feel so much calmer. You will feel clearer. You will feel content to sit and read a book. Content to sit without your phone. Content to just be!

I can’t even with these guys! They have so many things I am jealous of! If it was just the colours they would still be one of my favourite animals! Much like the mandarin fish that I have long been in love with because of its stunning colours and patterns. But not only are they spectacular to look at, they can also see soooo many more colours than we can even imagine! They can probably see the ...

Sooo when animals can sense things we can’t they’re amazing. They’re gifted. They have talents we can use to better humanity and our search of knowledge and health. Buuuut when humans are more sensitive to stuff, we’re just too sensitive? 🥺 can’t handle a tag touching you? It’s not that you have an amazing sense of touch that could somehow be harnessed. No you’re just Too sensitive 🥺 notice the...
How dopamine hunting is ruining your life!

Dopamine detoxes can be difficult but so so worth it! You need to lower that bar for what satisfies you. Why would you do this? When that bar is high you will find it hard to be happy, to be motivated, to be satisfied with just about anything. Your brain will feel busy all the time and anxious. If your feeling like this, it’s time to back off the junk food! It’s not easy, but it’s worth it! Hav...

3 things your neurotypical friends wish you knew
Yeah I learned about the citrus on the internet too. A bit supriced that I wasn't told either by the doctor or the pharmacy when I first got my meds, after all how will I be able to judge their effectiveness if I don't know if I screwed up by a dietary choice. 🙄 At least I know now and can make sure to not have those things to close to taking them. Makes morning drinks very boring though 😢
After that both ways comment, now I gotta know what to correlation is between ADHD and bisexuality/pansexuality... Asking for a friend ❤️💜💙
Oh God…omg I just saw me.
Omg I thought you were saying your a system. Like DiD, I can’t even with that.
Hey..can i ask..do you feel yourself on medication? I ve only just started and i dont like how uncreative and still my mind and body is..i dont feel like , well me.😮😂
My partner was on medication growing up, and he very much felt the same. He says he doesn't remember half his childhood. It's been a serious discussion point for us as I'm starting to pursue treatment for my ADHD. I'm hesitant to try medication, but my regular coping strategies just aren't working anymore. I don't have experience yet, but part of our plan moving forward is to write down my concerns and how I'm feeling in a notebook so I can remember the questions I want to ask during my follow -ups.
I needed to play around for several years with doses and different meds, plus additional meds in the mix (for example, as a woman I needed to add hormonal supplements to make the ADHD meds even work right throughout my cycle). I ended up with dexamphetamine (similar to Adderal in the US, I think?). My final specialist (who has ADHD himself, and is specialised in women with ADHD and comorbidities) recommended it to me because he found it worked better for creative/associative thinkers. I need those connections between several thoughts to think and feel like myself, just one thought at a time feels so limiting and stifling and sterile. And this medication still allows those parallels and crossovers to happen, I just got more control over my executive functions So I no longer feel that paralysing urge to execute all those ideas right away, for example. It's easier to start and stop doing things now. To make choices about stuff that doesn't matter. To overthink less. Those kinds of issues are so much less a problem now. But my thoughts and feelings are my own. In contrast, I've found Ritalin reduces those rich tapestries of thoughts and feelings to a single thread. Which may be a relief to other people, but it made me feel like I wasn't myself. Dosage and interval are also very important. And tricky. And many specialists aren't aware of the need to experiment, and that it's necessary to make changes depending on stressful times, hot weather, other meds, hormones, etc. They just want to prescribe, build up to the "right" dose, and then never see you again. Many of them also seem unaware that too low of a dose and too high of a dose can have very similar effects, so a flat affect and worsening symptoms could actually mean the dosage is too high. Raising the dose because the meds aren't "working anymore" can actually make everything much much worse. So yes, flat affect can be a side effect. And it is important. And no, many specialists don't care. As long as we can go to school or work in the factories, we're not allowed to complain.
I wouldn’t take them if i wanted to be creative. I take them for boring tasks that need to get done, or days i really need to concentrate on something hard.
@@RadishTheFoolThere are different pharmaceutical preparations of amphetamine. The molecule has two mirror-image versions. Dextroamphetamine is the right-handed one. Different preparations use 50/50 right and left handed, 75/25 (Adderall is one of these), or 100 percent right handed.
Siri does reply with a "You're Welcome" when I thank her, so I thought it was appropriate.
The similar story thing just doesn’t work anymore. Cause everyone jumps in with it’s not about you! I’m having such a hard time in today’s society it’s not even funny anymore.
Do people feel different? That's how I feel regulary since becoming a mother 25 years ago. Always tired, frustrated, bored to death and burned out. Sadly it never changed after no longer being a mother. Just kind of chronic fatigue😴😴😴
We're neurospicy. I've been calling them neurobland for about 6 months.
oh 🤔 OH 😢 my 7yo is showing some of the signs mentioned in the video, after half the summer break (willingly) stuck indoors watching screens 😵 now I wonder if an intervention and forcing detox would be beneficial or make relationships harder 🤨 ... *Parenting is Hard*
Being on screens for a long time definitely pushes that dopamine bar up super high!! Screens are some of the worse for dopamine junk food
You fit in with parrots 🦜
This video changed everything. My meds haven’t been working as well lately saw this video a couple of days before my psych appointment. Asked my psych and she is like “oh yeah, it will affect effectiveness”… 😑 me who has been having a glass of orange juice every morning. So thank you for changing the effectiveness of my meds.
the rainbow hair kinda throws me off and makes me leary. nature usually identifies toxic creatures with bright colors.
Actually the bright colours are generally used in nature to lure predators away from the mothers and babies. And also often used to scare off predators. Either way… it seems to be working 🤨
A quote I loved, but can't quite remember so will paraphrase: if they say you're too much, let them find people who are less. It's like drivers: people who drive slower are seen as slowpokes, people who drive faster are maniacs. Similarly, they see people as less vibrant than them as boring or dumb, and people who are more vibrant as too much and also dumb. These days, if I'm too much for people, I don't try to tone it down anymore. Or worse, tone myself down preemptively. Instead, I go and search for people who are more. More fun, more kind, more connected to themselves, more open to others.
Yeeees 🙌🙌🙌💜
Wish i could but I'm about to be working on a surgical team in a faith based network. Believe me, I'll be READING that damn policy 😅
I wear all black and carry my uniqueness on the inside because I don’t care about gaining attention with flamboyant displays. I’m also perfectly comfortable with my hatred and prejudice. I don’t deny my shadow at all.
Oh i don’t care annoy gaining attention either! Where i grew up people would stare. Where i live now i look like i belong ☺️ i hate when people stare
My husband has the 'tism, and calls himself neurospicy. I have that executive function thing, and call myself neurosparkly. It makes for a nice contrast in our relationship. We celebrate each other's strengths, cover each other's weaknesses, and watch each other's back in a world that wants to make us bland.
That's awesome that you work together and help each other out like that ☺️👍 Congrats on having such an awesome relationship.
@@GraiXS It's been 15 years of trial, error, light bulb moments, and work. I wouldn't trade a minute of it because it's how we got to where we are.
Where is this original sound from? Sounds south-US? Funny with You australian. I imagine an older, bigger "mama" to this sound.
Not sure where but it was the gorgeous mumma type lady ☺️
Don’t agree, I’m as dangerous as I think I am.
i like.
Hate to catch you up to speed: turns out 16 cones for a mantis shrimp doesn't mean more color vision sadly Unlike humans that use 3 cones to reparametreize many, many colors, mantis shrimp neurology seems to use 16 cones to see 16 colors. :(
Came here to say this
.....socks that don't strangle my legs? Yes, please.
You forgot lazy
Okay, I was hyped. Searched it. Went on the shop. They just have four colours. No Black, no blue😭
Yet I’m def going to need them to get cracking on more colours!!
@@myfavouritejo okay, please do Your superpower-thing to make it happen😉

I didn't know about orange juice. I only heard about grapefruit juice and and pomegranate juice.

0:33 I'll be the autistic kid disrupting the class with an "ummm... akshually" infodump: Only the rainbow in the dog photo got adjusted: the trees are still green! Incidentally the "dog" image (if it were properly color adjusted) is what (most) colorblind humans see. Certain primates (including humans) have a mutated second copy of the gene for yellow cones. It doesn't shift the wavelength response of the cones much, both copies basically still just code for mamalian yellow cones, but there's just enough difference between them that our brains can tell the difference between the response from the longer and shorter wavelength yellow cones and use that to get red/green information out of the yellow signal. Non-mammal vertebrates generally have four sets of cones at evenly spaced wavelengths, mammals lost two of these.
One of my life mottos is an answer to a question. It's how I made it through a lot of the hardest times in my life, including how I made it through 4 years in the US Marine Corps, as well as how I managed to convince myself to marry my wonderful husband even though I didn't want a new commitment or relationship. If the question someone is asking me in preparation for a thing, or if I'm asking myself in preparation for a thing, the question "Are you ready?" my answer will be a pensive, terrified, and BRAVE, "No. Let's do it anyway." And then I internally scream and cry and curse and at times externally throw a fit, but I do all that while still doing The Thing. It doesn't always work, but it works well enough that I've managed to accomplish things I would've otherwise never tried.
I only knew about the sonic boom of their claws. These little buggers are extraordinary!! 😍🤩
It could be so easy *sigh*
So true
Yes! Every. Time. 😂 This gets me most with cultural stuff. I had to be told that when I offer people food or drinks at my place that I'm supposed to keep offering even when people tell me they are not hungry or thirsty because my guests are "supposed to say no several times out of politeness"...Y'all are exhausting!
Don’t worry i don’t get those stupid rules either! If i say no i mean no
Whether or not it's deliberate, you're definitely being a cute!
Okay, did my little research. "People who tried to pick up one sometimes had been amputated parts of their fingers." As a vegan I'd say fair. Watched two national geographic shorts, read on their site, great barrier rief site, german sites and am very impressed by them. Learned those rainbow coloured ones are called peacock mantis shrimp. Unfortunatly there are no plushys of them, just a rosered other mantis shrimp. But there is an exploding kittens version and some prints of them on stuff. And I made some first coincident word games with them like "holy crap, don't mess with the mantis crab" (as I sometimes switch into inner talks in english watching something in english and then I also switch in something like a TV-show inspired character and how they would talk in my imagination. This was a male teenager of cause. Had at first a really funny one which I forgot of cause. When I will remember it I'll come back. AHH, it was something with piss, as they are also called piss crabs, as they urinate when cooked (😢). So I guess it was something like "Holy crap, this shrimp was pissed"😮 after I saw the attacs on the octopus. Before reading the piss-crab thing. Edit: Sorry, on etsy there are wonderful plushys AND crochet patterns and - PRIDE PRAWNS inspired by them🏳️🌈😍. How cute is that🤩 Peacock mantis shrimp, You have a solid fan base! And now it's one more😊
"With dismemberment being it's violence of choice"😂😂😂😂
I hear about these dudes and like !!!! and then I forget, and then someone brings them up again and I'm like YES THEY ARE GREAT
So glad I’m not the only one giving my bears entire lives and backstories. I also thought it was because I use them as a way to practice my social skills and rehearse scenarios on how I wish they would go
"Have to research 'mantis shrimps'🤓" It's on my list😊 thanks!

It's balls to deal with morons all day but don't make it your personality
I agree. Sensitivity to things could be used for so much more. Make sure fabrics are the right quality and fiber, develop new complex dishes or subtle perfumes, make intricate music that catches emotions just right or lets you focus on multiple things without it becoming distracting, become a superhuman in the healthcare sector as being able to tell when something is actually bothering someone, and being able to help them deal with it... We are much more useful than people let us be! Just because some of us won't ever be able to handle the actual education it doesn't mean that we will suck at the job 😢
You are the first person, across all platforms, to actually get what i meant with this video!! ❤❤❤
@@myfavouritejo Wow. I take that as an intellectual honor 😆 Happy to help you feel heard and understood! ❤️
With certain lights, I can hear that they're about to go out soon. With certain melons I can tell when they're about to go bad or that they are already going bad but other people don't seem to taste it. It feels like Sprite on my tongue😅 I don't know if these count LOL
@@alijd6287@alijd6287 They count! I can taste when milk is about to go bad and certain fruits, so I get you. And nobody notices at all. And I totally get what you mean with lights. They get a certain kind of hum when they're about to reach their ends. I also smell certain things others are not aware of. I can also tell almost to the point what spices have been used in a meal. So yes, it counts. These are skills that could be used, but other people dismiss them as weird 😊
For real!! The game of tones! I developed retorts or my own word games quite young. It helped me quite a bit to deflect the BS. "I was bored looking so basic like (looks person up and down) people." Yes. I could be a jerk, and as a kid and young adult was more than happy to return peoples energy. Now, I will purposefully respond to their spoken word and ignore their tone. I will go into full on ADHD hyper fixation sharing mode and just release all of my glee and excitement and offer my hairstylist etc. This works for me bc my personality. Won't work for others.
