One time after a rough night with my partner's mental health issues flaring up, i barely slept and was too tired to be distracted at work.
If i wanted to do something it just happened, i just did it. And kept doing it. Until it was done.
It felt like having a superpower, but i don't think i want to recommend emotional stress as a dopamine trick.
Well, fine. I won't either. wink wink

I've often had this when I'm hungover. Just pottering about and chipping away at something like a normal person. So productive...
Second this. I feel so bad my ADHD is gone. Weird.
