It is, in fact, one of the most common ADHD symptoms. You don't get dopamine from anywhere and then you find a song that you really like and pumps it out. So you listen to it over and over and over and over again, almost like self medication, to get the dopamine you don't get elsewhere.

So this could be why I always watch the same tv shows and movies over and over.

I have my tv always on the background and on the comedy channel. By this time I've already watched Friends and Big Bang Theory more than 15 times. At least something new started recently and I'm watching The Office for the first time, so I guess that's something.

Parks and Rec, Futurama, 30 Rock, Boston Legal, South Park for me.

Plus, Tolkien nerd.

One of these centuries I need to go and start... thinking... about maybe possibly one day getting the information about someone I might eventually call for a diagnosis. Eventually... Lol

I keep seeing meme after meme and I just rationalize it like "ok, but I'm sure it's not exclusive to ADHD" over and over and over and over lol as it stands I've been listening to "chasing daylight" from a game I play for like the last week...

I'd encourage you to make it a priority and get evaluated if possible. Having access to medication or just targeted treatment has made a world of difference to me.

I have been living this reality for the past months, continually seeing myself in so many of these posts.

I have an appointment on December 8. I need to get help.

Well that explains a lot. I do that all the time.
