Is it ADHD or Is Social Media Addictive?
This week, Adam’s complaining about his sore back (Donna says it’s his “extra padding” 😂) before we dive headfirst into the wild world of social media and ADHD.
We get real about how social media messes with our concentration, feeds our impulsiveness, and—let’s be honest—is absolutely brilliant. Adam admits to getting sucked into strangers’ arguments and falling down the rabbit hole (relatable, anyone?). We chat about that delicious dopamine hit from likes and instant gratification. Is this just an ADHD thing, or is everyone hooked?
Donna confesses to using the baby for likes (no shame!), and Adam wonders if he should finally get involved in X (Twitter). Spoiler: he’s a professional lurker, but why? We break down our experiences on Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube, and even question if phone addiction is a real thing (especially when Marketplace and impulsive spending come into play).
Plus, we’re launching our brand new Facebook group! Come join us for unfiltered chats, community support, and all the behind-the-scenes banter:
Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/adhdrelationshipsunfiltered
We also compare our (slightly embarrassing) screen time numbers, talk about the explosion of ADHD content online, and whether it’s helping or just making everyone think they have it. Donna reveals her ASMR obsession—could it be dirty? 😂 And we talk about the fear of someone seeing your YouTube history (guilty!).
Of course, there’s the 5-minute moan (glasses and e-cig liquid drama), plus some truly epic good, bad, and ugly listener stories.
