ADHD + Reading = Obsession Anyone
Who else here is a full-blown reading addict?? I’ve realized something about myself.......I am 100% an “all or nothing” person. It’s in my DNA. Never done drugs, never smoked (not judging, just know myself)… because if I like something.......Oh, it’s game over..... Food...... I will eat the SAME thing every day for 6 months straight and then suddenly act like it personally offended me and never touch it again.... Rules that say “take no more than one”? Cool cool… I’ll take two just to see what happens. For science. Obviously. Then I found reading…And I was like ohhhhhh this is my new personality now..... The difference was, it wasn’t forced. No tests, no pressure. Just me choosing it. BUT… life got busy, and sitting down to read felt impossible. Enter: audiobooks here...... Now I can “read” while driving, cleaning, zoning out, avoiding responsibilities (you know… normal things). And when my brain gets loud or chaotic, I put a book on and it’s like everything just… quiets down..... Let the peace begin.... I get completely lost in it, and honestly......... Sometimes (alot of the time) that escape is exactly what I need. I’ll read/listen to anything—self-help, thrillers, romance, dark romance, fantasy… if it exists, I’ll try it at least once..... So I’m curious ( i think curious should be my middle name), does reading or listening to books help quiet your brain too? And what are you currently obsessed with?? Let’s talk books—I need new ones anyway!🤣
