    This is great news when my “normal” state brain already struggles with processing dopamine this-is-fine

      I got diagnosed with ADHD two years ago. Pretty sure I would have been as a kid too, but I did well enough in school. Looking back I did struggle, but never as much as I have in the last 4 or 5 years.

      Shit like this makes me wonder.

        Literally the exact same situation here. Also got diagnosed with a mild form of asthma after getting a really horrible cold in late 2019.

        Similar situation for me, but I think my unmanaged/undiagnosed ADHD was at its worst in my early 20s.

        I did have some autoimmune stuff emerge during peak COVID times, but I think that was mostly stress and some autistic burnout shit from that time.
