This is a very interesting question for me because I have adhd, raging adhd in fact. So if I don’t get a dopamine hit of some excitement throughout my day, I feel bored and depressed. Which is so funny because my best friend has autism, and she feels safety in her routine and the steadiness of predictability.
With my adhd, I need feel something, so I am training myself to not fear the boredom, and boredom is not a state of meaningless. But at the same time, because I have this tendency, I leave myself very little room to feel bored. This is why I have so many activities I can do under my belt.
Tiktok is the easiest thing to run to, but because I am an introvert, it gets overwhelming and also effects my mood, so that only lasts so long.
I have my kindle and my switch which I use every three months and have learned not to get rid of, because I tend to suddenly need it when I don’t have it.
But for now, I do have my masters, I exercise in my workout classes, I take walks with my cat in her cat stroller, I work on my blog, I have an etsy and TPT account where I make digital products that have to do with my career, and I spend time with friends if they are available. I have an instagram account elle_digicam that I like to post a little on. And I am just learning that I can do all my hobbies slowly and that is how it can be consistent. I don’t have to be all or nothing when it comes to everything I do. I can take breaks and do other things in between because as many hobbies as I do have, my attention span is very short for all of them. So I alternate between all of them very frequently, or just burn out.
I actually trained myself to have more energy in order to do more because I get more hobbies to avoid the boredom because I fear monotony because I know what it does to me. Which is kind of funny because I married a man who feels safety in the same routine. But that had served me well because it has prevented me from making such rash decisions.
