Adhd and investing, can you relate?

I recently went down the rabbit hole around investing, stocks & crypto etc and I noticed that I feel more inclined to invest in higher risk but potentially higher rewards things even though most people advise against it

This made me wonder, are people with adhd more likely to do the higher risk things because we tend to chase dopamine more? And with that also more at risk of losing a lot of money? Or is this just a me thing and can other people with adhd who invest not relate?

Interested in the stories of others with adhd when it comes to investing and whether you lost a lot of money with it (or earned)
