Doom Scrolling Dopamine and Cognitive Decline

  • I have noticed in myself that my memory just feels really poor lately, when writing on here I am writing incorrect words, making spelling mistakes that I never used to make and I am thinking to myself if it could be partially to do with my doom scrolling habits affecting me over time. At work I use a bit of AI too for things I would normally have to spend a lot of time thinking about but unsure if its related, Anyone else feel this too? Is it the doom scrolling and dopamine overload? Share your thoughts.

  • I am very forgetful when I have been using tiktok, I will watch a lot of videos and forget what I was doing, I am embarrassed to admit I once burned the dinner because of scrolling and my family almost arrived soon. When I use at night time I dont sleep well that night

  • I scroll far too much when I use apps. I want to get the new commodore phone when it comes out. Its locked down to essential apps and all the doom scroll ones you cant install. Doom scrolling makes me forget what I was doing, its a time sink
