    Reading.

    Hear me out! I have always been an avid reader, get very sucked into plots. I got diagnosed with ADHD in June. Since I’ve been medicated I’ve read $15,000 worth of library books. A little of that amount was before June, but most has been since then.

    I will walk around the house making food while reading. If I am doing something that requires my hands then it’s a podcast or audiobook. This all being said a lot has been manga or graphic novels but there have been days when I read 10+ books.

    Probably doesn’t sound like the worst problem but it’s something that has started to impact my life in ways I did not expect.

    Thanks for reading!

      I’ve been sucked into a depression fueled reading hole where I just read and lay in bed for several days. What’s weird though is after a couple of days I start to narrate my dreams and if long enough it begins to make its way into my waking life?

      Ever experienced anything like this?

          Ah okay, I figured it had to be a situation like that. Although I was hoping you were just rich, lol.

          Sorry to hear that. I hope I didn’t offend you.

            You didn’t, sorry if it came off that way, it’s my innate passive aggressive Canadianness, comes out sooo hard in text form.

            I’m also sometimes a dick so that doesn’t help either heh !

            I think if I were rich I’d just buy books and then I wouldn’t be rich anymore.
