    they make the layout addictive by design and with someone with a condition that is related to dopamine deficiency, I know it's going to be a determent to be daily functioning. I hope one day I can use one as you mentioned where it's designed to encourage disciplined usage.

    Are you able to speak on the dopamine deficiency and whether quitting the phone entirely has improved this?

    I regularly go through cycles of becoming super overstimulated and stressed resulting in anhedonia/emotional numbness and i think my phone addiction is a huge part of this. Not formally diagnosed with anything

    Irvine Welsh - Trainspotting
    Ronnie O'Sullivan - Unbreakable
    Gillian Flynn - Sharp Objects (HBO did a limited series of this about 8 years back with Amy Adams and it was hard asf)
    Mariah Carey - The Meaning Of Mariah Carey
    Jack Kerouac - On The Road
    Miles Davis - Miles: The Autobiography (100 pages in so far and it's pretty funny with miles calling everything 'motherfucker' as a term of endearment)

    Okay, so I kind of figured out that my out of control scrolling via smartphone habit was the result of a dopamine deficiency due to my ADHD, since I have been begun treatment for this I can feel that this is being catered for via the medication. I'm still going through the titration period where my doctor goes through the process where they starts a low dose of a d*** and gradually increases it to find the lowest effective amount that provides maximum benefits with minimal side effects, so it's still tweaking that sweet spot but i'm already seeing benefits.

    As i no longer need my phone for baseline dopamine I am motivated to seek it out in other avenues such as exercise, long-form reading via books, and interacting with people irl (i'm high functioning but still find this one a bit tricky as i communicate can sometimes catch folks off guard).

    I think that no longer have the desire to resort to quick dopamine hits speaks volumes as i was scrolling up to 8 hours a day at my worst.

    I can totally relate to the anhedonia thing it's like your brain has extracted as much dopamine as possible and there is none left. I truly feel we haven't seen the extent of how bad smartphone and unlimited access has on the brains and the consequences are gonna be brutal in the long-term at least for this generation.
