Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

Apparently videogames are a "medication" for my adhd because since i started adderol they don't "pull me in" like they used to.

I miss it a little bit, it's also kinda weird but its also nice to not be compelled to play like before

They suck me in easily, that's why I stopped playing completely

Did you ever get the "brain feels weird, like the waves are a different shape" after a long deep dive in a game? Only games and books do it to me, books being a less janky, more smooth but definitely different sensation.

God please say yes it's not only me right? what's up with my worm-meat?

Yeah i got a bit weird with my description haha... After a long session of hyperfocusing (on a game you've been sucked in by for example), do you ever feel odd for a few minutes after disconnecting from that focus?

Usually for me it ends on me going to bed because I played for 5 hours and haven't done anything that I needed to do, which makes me sad and sleepy at the same time so I just go bed. But since I stopped playing games and went to the gym it has gotten a lot better, I recommend you to go to gym even if you are not a big fan of it
