I don't know if its how I'm wired or a symptom of ADHD but I don't get much relief from completing tasks or projects. That reward trigger most people get doesn't seem to fire with me, to me I just finished something and now I'm either waiting for the next thing to do or moving on to another thing.

That's a major reason I have so much trouble motivating myself to get anything done. Even after I finish something, it has no effect on my mood.

If I'm having trouble with something and suddenly circumstances change where I don't have to do it anymore, it actually is a big relief to me and thats the only time I feel an elevated mood after crossing something off a list.

It would be interesting to see if microdosing LSD somehow changes that or not.
