Basically we either use PINCH and run HEALTHILY on dopamine and noradrenaline by making every boring task interesting

OR

we wait for adrenaline and cortisol, run on anxiety and experience the usual cycles highs and lows.

That's what I'm getting from all I'm reading from actual psychiatrist with ADHD.

You reap what you saw
PINCH: joy, calm, happiness.
STRESS: chronic fatigue syndrome and burn out.

Sometimes things are indeed a binary choice. And it won't matter whether you're medicated or not, you still have to choose the last mile. Meds only get you so far.

I am currently trying to work out how to integrate PINCH into my day to day in order to get things done.

It is proving most difficult with external things that I am not really bothered about but have to get done, which is where I need to use it most.

As I am currently deliberately unmedicated for the ADHD it is vital that I get this sorted. I am trying to bear in mind that often things that work, only work for a short time and then new coping strategies are needed before I fall off into the stress responses again.

Anyway, good luck with it! Here'shoping we both find our paths through this!
