the ADHD urge to use parenthesis in every sentence (because every thought comes with additional bonus content)

I don't know if I have ADHD, but I struggle with this as well! Sometimes I'll write a message/email and there's a paren after every other sentence.

Lately I've been making an effort to substitute with a semicolon or bridge the thoughts with a dash:

"I'm thinking this - but I also think this."

Unsure if that's a correct usage of punctuation, but I feel like it helps the sentence feel more focused and an expansion of the thought, rather than a random segue (especially with work)

Edit: realized that I had broken my own rule seconds after posting
