ADHD + Reading = Obsession Anyone
Who else here is a full-blown reading addict?? Iāve realized something about myself.......I am 100% an āall or nothingā person. Itās in my DNA. Never done drugs, never smoked (not judging, just know myself)⦠because if I like something.......Oh, itās 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 ātake no more than oneā? Cool cool⦠Iāll take two just to see what happens. For science. Obviously. Then I found readingā¦And I was like ohhhhhh this is my new personality now..... The difference was, it wasnāt 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 āreadā 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 itās 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. Iāll read/listen to anythingāself-help, thrillers, romance, dark romance, fantasy⦠if it exists, Iāll try it at least once..... So Iām 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?? Letās talk booksāI need new ones anyway!š¤£
