Screenshot of a Tumblr thread. User fivepebble writes: people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account. User oaks-and-willows replies: "Don't you feel satisfied that your windows are so clean now?" It sucked and it sucked and now I don't care. I just remember the sucking.

This is why exercise is so exceptionally hard for me. I want to do it, I know I need to, but there is no dopamine reward for doing so, only agony and sweat.
