#65 ADHD & The Dopamine Hangover
from Navigating Adult ADHD · host Xena Jones
You know that low feeling you get after you return from a holiday? That reason why you book the next trip to look forward to asap? THIS is a dopamine hangover. Anytime we spike our dopamine levels, for example jumping out of a plane & then feeling on top of the world. Later results in a significant drop in dopamine (what goes up must come down, literally!) & it doesn't feel so good. This results in us feeling lower in mood, having less motivation & drive to do things & having less interest in things we would usually enjoy. Listen in to learn more about how to manage your dopamine levels so you can thrive with ADHD! LINKS: Wanna hangout on Instagram? You'll find me hereLooking for more support? navigatingadultadhd.com
