… because I comment more times in a single day than I normally do over weeks.
(Hoarding meds because I need to make an appointment for a refill, but I can’t make myself do that when unmedicated and always get distracted the rare days I am. Hey, if it were rational it’d be considered a personality quirk, not a mental illness.)

It can get excessive in my case. So my trick is this: I made a file “nobody-cares.txt” and just paste the comment in there instead of submitting it. For someone with ADHD, that feels almost as good as submitting it, because I COULD do that later!
I was quite proud of that method, but my therapist said that this still attributes value to the comment and thus the social media activity. So the next step would be to cancel, even after typing a long comment.
