My dopamine hit comes from people using my stuff.
When I fix a bug, add a feature, or write some docs, I experience the resolution of anxiety. I'm just so worried my stuff isn't good enough, will confuse users, and so forth.
It feels very similar to my compulsion to pick up litter. While hiking, walking the dog, etc. I. Just. Can't. Stand. Seeing. Trash. Every. Where. It really takes me out of my happy place. I'm just so much more relaxed, resolved when litter (or bugs) are gone.
Yes, I've been working chilling out.

It really takes me out of my happy place. I'm just so much more relaxed, resolved when litter (or bugs) are gone. Be glad you don't have compulsive hoarding tendencies. When I spend too much time playing Pokemon, Red Dead Redemption or Metal Gear V, I find myself planning to capture every animal, pick every flower and steal every shipping container I come across.
