You’re probably addicted to YouTube. It’s easy dopamine. ADHD brains seem to crave it. Sounds like you need treatment if the medicine isn’t cutting it. I find physical activity helps me the most. I get addicted to that too but at least I’m not on YouTube all day (I’ll save it for downtime at night as a reward).
yeah that's probably it. because I fall in the same traps with TikTok and insta. every day I say to myself, today I won't watch YouTube, but 15 minutes after the day begins I keep saying to myself: 1 video won't hurt and the cycle repeats
