@@lolidk5747 I can't focus on anything and my mom thinks that I'm just not interested like, why the frick would I be not interested on things I'm interested on!?
Anyone else when they are in a perfectly normal situation randomly start hearing everything everyone around you is saying and it gives you major anxiety?
Shes not wrong, the phone or more specifically social media, and entertainment apps can become an escape and also creates dopamine intolerance. I try to limit myself when and where possible, once a week I try to have 24 - 48 hours where I will use apps to block all non essential apps, games, social media, entertainment and if your at that age pornography is a big problem, sometimes referred to as a dopamine fast. It feels pretty rough during that time but I feel alot more alert, productive and human in the days following as I increase dopamine sensitivity and give my brain a little boost, I feel alot better afterwards.
My mom thinks I can’t focus because I’m thinking about anime. My dad on the other hand, he was the one who took me to the doctor and got me diagnosed with ADHD.
My friend who recently got diagnosed with adhd always asks me to study together but i seriously cant. I cant focus with her, honestly she even annoys me:/
As someone with high functioning ADHD, when someone's asks being in my shoes is like, I tell them "go a whole day without being able to control your impulses or not being able to stand loud sounds. Your thoughts come and go in an instant and constantly listening to music helps you focus and calm down."
Yeh - Listening to music literally focuses my attention onto what I'm doing, what doesn't help is that my parents don't know how to gently do things so if I'm not wearing something with noise cancelling then I'm officially unable to concentrate... What doesn't help is that I'm still finding a music taste so I'm by this point just playing random playlists on Spotify at loud volume lol
why do people keep saying that just because they're not listening to the teacher they have ADHD, there is so much more to ADHD and its kinda frustrating that people think its a meme or something lol, im not sure if I have OCD or ADHD but it really gets in the way of doing something simple like watching a RUclips video
@@sonicgirl3582 same. I'm think I've got ADHD but I haven't been diagnosed yet. I'm meeting a psychiatrist tomorrow so I'll finally know for sure. Not everyone who can't pay attention has ADHD, so it's important not to jump to conclusions.
If I do get diagnosed, then my kind of ADHD is mild. Like I don't run around and fidget. But, I DO have a realllyyyyyy difficult time sitting still for a long time, I can't concentrate, I get easily distracted. Even then, I can't definitively say I've got ADHD. Only a psychiatrist can.
I drift off info into either thoughts and just empty space so many times throughout the day. When it comes moments of being lost in space,my theory is I'm actually thinking but when I snap out of it I immediately forget what I was thinking. It's fkn annoying. Take driving for instance. Ever since iv been driving, it's very common for me to drive for miles in auto pilot, snapping out of it not even remembering the last 20 minutes of driving. If I'm on the phone for more than a few minutes,it's a guarantee I will space out and not have heard anything for a few seconds or minutes. So you can imagine school growing up was a nightmare
Kyle Paulo i feel u bro, my grades are slipping and going down so bad and low, whenever people like the teacher teach i day dream about some fightscene in my head or just blankness or i think of some song looping in my head and then a word someone said to me looping over and over again ahhhh its just so annoying, ive been so forgetful and i never do my homework on time, i sometimes just dont do it or do it at the last second and normally when i do it im at the beginning then i phase out then i just do something else then do it at last second and whenever i try to revise on tests it just doesnt workkkkk
@@neutrino137 This is the problem. I can be writing something while thinking about it, then next thing you know my mind had drifted off thinking of something else based off a word I saw
On a journey when I was in a train, I was so focused on the thought that I have to get out when my classmates and other classes get out, that I missed it when everyone went out :)
I feel like a lot of the mainstream ignores adult "ADD"...meaning I'm not necessarily constantly fidgeting or cant sit still, just I'm always thinking of other things than what I should be thinking about in that point in time. For example ...thinking about what I'll work on when I get home while my manager is explaining what he wants me to do in the next couple days.... then I have to track back and rely on memory or embarrassingly ask him to repeat himself.
Oh wow. You have totally described my version of ADD. it's great to know I'm not the only one out there with my kind. Merry Christmas from England. Xoxo
When you are so focused on getting focused in what people are saying to you and than you realize that you weren't listening because you were thinking really hard that you had to focus
Thats why you need to keep notes brother. Friends birth days, important dates, times to go places, etc type them in your phones notes so you dont forget whatever it is.
My short term memory has been getting worse. I'm only 18 and I've been diagnosed with ADHD usually when I'm having an episode I get bad anxiety which turns into the verge of a panic/anxiety attack. Usually pacing, walking in circles, walking around. Going up and down the stairs because I need new scenery and occasionally checking my phone to finish a 5 word sentence that has taken 12 minutes to complete.
@@antiairgamingchair-2543 same but I'm 15 and randomly get anxiety attacks over nothing- plus I even have ocd which makes it worse. Did you talk to your doc about it. You can have therapy too if you are comfortable with it
I wish I could be able to finish an assignment without getting sidetracked, unmotivated, or forgetting about it because my attention went to something else and not get so angry and frustrated at myself and the people around me who don't get it that I just wanna seclude myself but HERE WE ARE
Hw is a nightmare. Please just let me do all my work in a quiet room with the only thing I need to do is school work, not dishes, cleaning, TV, get water, make food.
@@Illumiinarian Same thoughts. Its completely ok to be nervous so feel at ease knowing youre definitely not alone. Get every single reminder app that works for u, organization app, and study tactics that are effective for ppl with adhd. Hopefully you find something that suits you. Don’t be afraid to bring a notepad everywhere, clarify instructions from profs, and show your eagerness to learn. Having a notepad earlier means you dont have to rely on your memory and will physically have a record you can look back on. Wishing u the best and hoping we’ll get through college together. Likewise to everyone with adhd, we’ll be fine with our hyperfocus set on growth
Adhd just kills the productivity 😔 I can walk in one room for 3 hrs but sitting at work for 5 mins seems like duhh Even though i have passion for it 🥺😔
Something I realized a lot of people are unaware of (I also have ADHD and finally sat down after many years to fully research it) and basically people with ADHD are Neurodivergent (like people with Autism and other learning disabilities) and also have bad sensory issues. It's because we take in too much sensory input but at the same time if we don't get enough, we'll become depressed. So we also do stimming behaviors(repetitive movements done to stimulate or regulate yourself) like shaking our legs to like, distract us if we are overwhelmed or stimulate us if we're bored. Actually researching ADHD is super fascinating and I think everyone with ADHD should do it. Turns out it's not really a matter of lacking attention, and more of a matter of not being able to regulate it. We're either full on or not at all and don't really have control over this. It's also a common known fact, scientifically proven, that people with ADHD, our brains actively take in more sensory information than mentally healthy people. Normally people can ignore things like a subtle touch a smell outside etc but people with ADHD, our brains take it all in and that's why we get anxious and overstimulated
yo i think i might have adhd im 13 years old and im getting an assessment in like a week nd i have a question is it still the same thing if like, tapping sounds ect dont make me anxious but just make me very angry and annoyed like i get bearly any slea[p cuz i hearvery small tapping sounds from my brother typing downstairs T-T its actually 4am as im typing this lol also if i see a dog or pigeon when im outside with my friends i get really happy and they all judge me like is that being overstimualted is is that normal T------------------------T
@@derpingywonderfullthellama961 No, its not normal, thats why you are here and searching about it So, since you are 13 I will give a harsh but useful advice for life: "its not your fault you get problems, but it is your fault if you cant solve them" Know it or not, you will forget it in some years, and will have to remmember it again
@@derpingywonderfullthellama961 some noises make me angry and keep me up at night too, from my research it might be something called misophonia U_U. listening to music helps
I have adhd and whenever I sit still rly long I start to “twitch” as in I have to fricking move!!!!!!!!! I get distractED really fast and when I’m taking a test or something my brain gets distracted at something else LIKE IF ONE OF THESE THINGS HAPPPEN TO U!!’
When I have to sit still I just cant. And its even worse if I have to focus on something. If someone is talking to me for really l just want to get up and walk away.
I don’t have ADHD- but I have a S.O. who does! I am trying to learn what I can for them. I can however, relate to being distracted easily due to my Autism (in my case, Asperger’s Syndrome). Take care! =)
Having adhd is worse sometimes, it was recently that i lost focus during a really important lecture in my college and the fun fact is I actually was thinking about “alright i will stay focused on this lecture for sure” and just thinking about this thought made me lost in many other scenarios and hallucinations and i ended up being not mentally present through the whole lecture.
I have social anxiety and serotonin release through Adderall allows my voice to not freeze and not have panick attack in social situations. There’s a lot of realities you don’t know about.
I've wasted the last 15 years of my life because I didn't believe in ADHD and was against pills. Now I wish I had started medication 15 years ago because I'm sure I would have build a stable life by now. I've had millions of good ideas but finished none of them because most of the time, a "better" idea came to mind while working on the project so I jumped to the new project. Just went to the doctor and he prescribed me Methylphenidate, I'm so done with this
oh my God I needed to see this comment. I have many unfinished projects and SO many ideas I obsess over one moment but then never finish. I've been beating myself up thinking its just a moral problem even though I've been spending this last year trying to get my life on track. But part of me does wonder if I have adhd. Been going back and forth on whether or not to talk to a doctor about it because I'm worried I'm being over dramatic. But I think I'm going to go.
Since we're looking through the eyes of someone with ADHD, I was honestly expecting the eyeline to be moving around the room or just randomly focusing straight ahead on an empty spot on the board and for sound to start getting muffled about 5 seconds into the Doctor's explanation. XD
dafuk soap is super slippy hu I mean I have adhd and I’m a HUGE sneaker head, i have the money to get shows that cost 1k but I know better to only spoil my self when I can afford to spend the cash 😂
I don't want diagnose myself and don't even like the idea of having a mental disease. But I'm pretty sure that I have that, and it got worse after I went through a depressive time in my life. Right now I cant afford to go to a psychologist, I don't have money, a job or live in a wealth nation, my country is really poor and psychologists are expensive. At this point, I really want some medication to help me with it. I can't study in home, can't pay attention in my college(scholarship) lectures, I'm always walking miles inside my home, overthinking about futile things, my mind just go in autopilot and I do nothing. I'm always getting up from the chair and going to bed, can't pay attention in 1 tab on my browser(I open multiple tabs with multiple topics). It has been a struggle...
just find something to chew on and chew the holy fuck out of it. then take the gum or whatever out and take 5 really deep breathes and each breath you let out, count to 5 (breath: "1") (breath: "2") all the way to 5 and each number you call out let all the fear run out of you, and with each progressing number make the fear worse after completing this you should feel like success and hope instead of feeling like shi, goodluck. hope that made sense.
Lucas Soares I use a rubber band a pop socket on ur phone. Just something small to fidget with. And when ur drifting off the second u realize it get back and get back to work. It will take time but if you work hard and research stuff then it would rlly help u
People with ADHD are way more special than most of the people that I know. Actually their achievements and their efforts have way more value, at least in many of those things. My gf has ADHD, and I can truly say that she's the most capable and smart person I've ever known. And these types of videos help me to know more about this world and love her even more. In conclusion, I'm convinced that ADHD is not so much a disorder, but a way of showing others that even so, you can be the same or more capable, strong and smart than them. And of course with a LOT of value. ♥️
Actually, if Im not wrong, a part of adhd is hyper focusing and not being able to control it, so if you find a way to control yourself... you are more concentrated than the "normal" ones
+ Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Amen 🙏!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The man in Luke 16:24 cries: ". . .I am tormented in this FLAME." In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." In Matthew 25:41, Jesus says: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting FIRE,. . ." Revelation 20:15 says, " And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE." And please repent of all of your sins and be baptized by the Holy Spirit before it is too late, you will never know when the time will come 🙏!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen 🙏!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While watching this I started playing with my iPad stand and I just focused on that then I realized that I'm watching a vid so I skip back to a part I remembered last
As someone with ADHD, I often find it hard to stand still sometimes. When I’m standing and talking to someone, I start swaying without realizing it. My family’s been trying to get me to break that habit, but it’s hard for me to control and I don’t immediately realize that I have been swaying. I also find it hard to concentrate on assignments, even in classes I do genuinely like. Music does help me concentrate better, but there are times where I don’t feel motivated to play some music bc of me wanting to listen to a RUclips video instead, which of course leads me to watching the video, then unintentionally falling asleep for an hour. I am wondering if I should get back on the meds, but I’m worried if I mention it to my mother, she might brush it off and say I’m fine. Perhaps once I move out and have my own house I’ll consider looking for any therapists that can help me.
Know what.. show some adhd videos to your mother. She needs to understand what we are going through. It's not easy to live life like this. Tell her, how's it. Show her some videos
I’m 19 and I’m just now learning that I might have ADHD. I was never diagnosed as a kid because i did well in school, but I’ve always had horrible organization issues and problems focusing and remembering things. I honestly just thought I was dumb and lazy, I had no idea it could be connected to something like this
The book, “You Mean I’m not Crazy, Lazy or Stupid” is a life changer. So validating! So helpful! Written by 2 women with ADHD. Makes you feel understood and not so alone. Sorry I can’t remember the authors’ names.
Thanks for the video. I've been trying to gain a better understanding of ADHD and my family isn't even trying to understand. They look at it as, "Oh so it's the hyper active part that makes you unfocused. Lets give you medicine to calm him down." So I went on the medicine for about for 6 years from 3rd grade to 9th grade. And all it did was make me feel depressed and while I wasn't hyper anymore, I felt sad. Once I hit 10th grade I lied to my parents telling them I took the medication without really doing so until 12th grade when they decided it wasn't working. I haven't been on medication since and I'm not sure I wanna go back again. I'm 23 with a part time security job (Security and ADHD is a terrible combo. I don't know how I kept this job for 3 years. XD) and I feel like my ADHD is getting in the way of my everyday life. I even have issues socially. Starting and holding conversations, staying focused, getting distracted easily, changing topics out of nowhere, etc. Even got distracted writing this comment and browsed Discord for about 5 minutes. XD
It made me depressed too when I started methephenyldate.... but overtime your body adapts I think. I think you should consult alternatives or take it in smaller dosages going into larger ones over time. It's not easy, but I realize I need it. I've been off it for 6 months and I've gotten into 6 wrecks and 2 speeding tickets. Never had those in my life. I've been driving for 6 years and I typically drive 2 hours everyday. Also I'm doing worse socially I realize. More impulsive to react on my emotions :/
Oh god thank you so much, this really helped me out. The world constantly blurs out and people get really angry at me and hate me, and I wanna control it but it’s so hard. This made me feel better that I have somebody to relate to. Thank you.
I have severe attentive ADHD and disassociation issues. I hate it more than anything. I can barely even think straight and my body acts before my mind. I hear people speaking sometimes, but their words just seem to float through my head. They never stick. Promises are hard to hold, because I can't remember something someone did or said. ADHD is not fun or cool. So to those who think it's cool, it's really not. It's caused my grades to deplete, fights and breakups, and disappointing friends. It's not fun. So please stop acting like it is.
don't make promises then, if you communicate openly with people, most will understand. Just explain that you will try your best, but that you won't promise, because you have limitations & your priority is to not let them down.
My parents, a few teachers, and many people have been blaming me my whole life for not paying attention or not caring about stuff that i didn't remember, when i would spend hours torturing my mind trying to remember it or understand why i was like this. It has been really difficult making the same mistakes over and over without seeming to learn and being called names like selfish or immature when i am the first impacted by my actions. Happily, i've been learning about ADHD and realised i display all the symptoms. After many years, my parents finally agreed to let me see a neuro-psychologist/therapist ; i'll see the results of my IQ test and a few tests that seem related to ADHD and other mental disorders i may have in around a month, so i'll try coming back here :]
I've never been diagnosed (because I have the female presentation) but literally everyone I know thinks I have ADHD. I'm daydreaming constantly (maladaptive), people have entire conversations with me and there are points where I just zone out completely, I hyperfixate on things that interest me (I'd watch the same show over and over again, etc), I talk very loudly and often out of turn and I say things I don't mean without getting the chance to think about it. There are also periods of time where I'm extremely impulsive. Like I accepted doughnuts some random guy on the street. I have such a hard time concentrating, especially when there's noise surrounding me as well. I know I have OCD, which apparently isn't uncommon for people with ADHD. Dunno, I think I might have to get screened.
Pretty much it ya. I have adhd self diagnosed. Unlike many others im 100% sure i have this and anxiety or something as ive been experiencing the same shit over and over again lol and i do see it in others and they think they have nothing. But ya ive experienced alot of what you said the OCD thing is actually reallly weird becuase i dont belive i have ocd but sometimes i really think i do becuase its a teeth grinding feeling trying to do some things perfect but at the same time im the opposite and dont care. Same thing with being a "clean freak", like taking out the trash or cleaning the backyard of dog poop i feel it being too discusting to even do dishes or touche a trash can but ill do handstands in the street or use raw meat for food and forget to wash my hands and be perfectly fine with doing so and eat with my fingers lol so i really dont know for some things. Idk fi you can relate...ALSO typing 5fucking paragraphs when you origionally were going to type half of 1 is also a symtom. I noticed in your comment myself. I notice but just becuase im fully aware of all this shit dosent mean i can stop it becuase it just dosent work.
In modern society yea, it is maladaptive. But it may be possible that it was somewhat beneficial to our ancestors. For instance people with adhd think outside the box. The impatience and unwillingness to spend too much time thinking about solutions makes us come up with very quick solutions to problems others wouldn't think about. Another theory is that adhd may have benefitted men as hunters. Hunting doesn't necessarily require hours of intense focus, The slight sound of an animal, or peripheral disturbance causes an impulse to automatically look in that direction. Now when on the hunt, literally and metaphorically, people with adhd can exhibit excellent and stream line focus. Another theory is that it developed and was the reason for humans to first migrate out of africa. It has to do with the novelty seeking that is a part of adhd that makes it plausible. Excitement from exploration overrides the dangerous aspects of it. Or we might have had shitty discipline as children or have lesions on the right hemisphere of our brain. AKA brain damage.
Frosty Girl Draws u should get it diagnosed, cause I was diagnosed in 1st grade. And everyone thought my sister has it but she was diagnosed with it 3 times. And she wasn’t. But she has a lot of the symptoms. It’s a brain thing. It’s a thing u can have part of but there are different types of hyperactivity. And also a natural human thing for being impulsive and hyper. But idk just get it checked cause diagnosing urself can trick ur brain into thinking it to. And if u do I suggest therapy for the first few years. It can help with school and how to give yourself safe methods of paying attention
I have ADHD, and I have to say, one thing that seriously pisses me off more than anything is when my parents (who don’t have adhd and don’t understand my struggles) tell me that I just need to try to focus harder. It has the same effect as telling someone with dementia to "just try harder not to forget something". Its just not that simple. I cant just "try to focus harder". ugh
31 here recently diagnosed after a family intervention. until very recently i was truly alone and have battled my life thinking i was just a lazy uncaring all around bad person. the mind is a powerful tool and when it truly starts to believe the bad things you tell yourself horrible self destructive actions quickly follow. having recently been so low that im still realizing how bad it really was im still spending days reading comments and finding peace in the truth that i was never that horrible person i started to believe i was. I finally know what im dealing with isnt just a excuse and more importantly that im not alone. Jesus Christ is the only reason im alive today and his spirit is heavy on me that i thank anyone who helps me. Thank you for making me feel not alone. God bless you and your journey.
my dad always makes me feel like shit whenever i mess something up slightly. sometimes he says something to me and im like, what did he say again? or did he say something and he just fucks up my confidence whenever i do something wrong, hes even getting mad at me for not having friends
WAIT HOLD UP DO Y'ALL EVER LAY ON YOUR STOMACH AND CROSS YOUR FEET AND LIKE MOVE THE TOP FOOT OVER THE BOTTOM FOOT CAUSE LIKE, THAT AND THE LEG BOUNCE-
Did it bother anyone else when the doctor put the gloves on then grabbed the ear scope just for the patient to leave? Like, who is she going to examine now?? Lol
This is a good video. Thank you for making it. Everyday I wake up I can't stand myself until I take my Concerta because I can't keep a straight thought.
i got diagnosed with ADHD at 8 years old i never really cared to look into it but now 4 years later that i have watched this it makes so much sense..thanks ig
Teacher: You just have to listen Me: it's not that simple Teacher: JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY!! ITS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR FUTURE Me: I have ADHD it's not my fault I cant focus. Teacher: dont use that as a exuse Me: if only she knew the struggle Like if you relate to this
At the age of 22 I start listening to lectures & others Im thankful to God i feel great change in myself, I run 10 km daily and dont eat food contain sugar. So I'm less hyperactive .
I'm a 22 years old psychology undergraduate who's currently having trouble graduating due to my problem with concentration. As a psychology student, I know that we shouldn't diagnose ourselves, but when I read about the symptoms of ADHD, I can help but relate. Seems that I've had them all my life, being misunderstood by many people. The effect on my life shift and change all the time, sometime it's prominent, sometimes it isn't. Currently I'm probably at my worst state. I can't concentrate at psychology classes that require great deal of concentration to understand, like Inferential Statistics and Psychometry, with mymind shifting from imagination to embarrassing memories in class, all the damn time. And I'm currently feel so burn out of living 16 years of my life worrying about grades, yer at the same time, I can't imagine how will I deal with work deadlines if I'm already burn out about grades and assignments. I like psychology, and have passed all the classes that make psychology interesting, but now... I feel like.... I've had it enough. I want to lay down and rest for a bit, but there's no time left for that. I've gone this far. You may even tell about my concentration problem from my writing pattern....
I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 4, however I've never really experienced much of the side effects apart from spacing out in the middle of lectures and what not, so I feel very blessed that I haven't had to go through the same kind of experiences others did.
I dont trust your diagnosis, adhd is not something you can just identify in a child, since teenage years it is sure it can be, even so, there's the possibility its not adhd, because its so vague
It CAN be disabling to some people. Just like folks with autism spectrum disorder (asd) it's a spectrum. Some with ADHD can be very successful and need little day to day help while others can function without help and reminders and such. While it can be consider a disability. It is not always a disability to everyone who has it.
I've been searching for hours trying to find anything about my adult ADHD that wasn't boring and could hold my attention long enough without my mind wandering off. Thank you. I was so close to uploading something terrible but also eye catching enough to help others with ADHD rather than the thousands of boring lectures that are supposed to help us. These so-called professionals are obviously joking and obviously none of them have any lived experience.
I'm 14 and I haven't been diagnosed yet but it's pretty obvious I have ADHD. doing one math problem alone takes almost 10 minutes. I'm literally failing school. My mom says I'm just lazy and I'm lying about possibly having ADHD. I've told her i know something is wrong with me but she doesn't believe it. :(
@@K4TEN thank youuu. she finally took me to NY to get brain scans and it turns out I have adhd and anxiety. I'm also homeschooled now and getting lots of help. :)
i don’t wanna sound like just some idiot who thinks he can diagnose himself, but i’m not sure, tell me what you think. i personally dunno. 1. i always fidget about 2. it’s really hard to pay attention in class 3. i always start things and never end up finishing 4. i always get super stressed for no reason 5. sometimes i get so distracted in conversations i fade into space for a little bit 6. i cannot stay completely still for even a minute without moving
I watched this video years before getting my diagnose and came back now and oh my god I'm so happy to finally have an answer as to why I am how I am, thank you for the useful advice and info!
whenever i’m focusing i accidentally think of something small and those thoughts lead to more and more until i get deep into a completely different subject within my mind and until i finally realize i need to focus again
Ever since ive became spiritual ive learned to control my adhd, its also good to work on self discipline ive experimented with not taking my medicine so I learned to control myself without having to be in control as well. Self discipline may be not as easy at first but then it becomes way easier. This really clicked for me when my old boss told me a story about his son having adhd and that him and his friend were watching their little sister but they werent paying attention and she went in a pond and died, it wasnt because of this particular part because you know not completely grasping the pain of this situation, but that I had to learn to control myself, its okay to not be okay sometimes but you've got this
Also when I feel impulsive or have anxiety from medicine I go to a comment section and spread good information that will help someone it helps calm me down and regroup and form a habit of thinking before I act, because teaching to others helps me feel like im useful and it practices being nice, because I used to say things I didnt mean that were hurtful to people because of the impulse and because anxiety can make you feel like what you're doing is meaningless so its good to find that good headspace again then focus back on what you were doing.
When I click on a video, I immediately go to the comments. If they don't have comments available I find another. I find it enjoying to scroll down and do other things, since I have trouble paying attention to the video.
I have ADHD and I started mostly takeing its toll on me in 3rd grade. Thats when instead of kindergarten where you made things and play all day. I just could not focus and nit able to sit still. I am going to 6th grade this year so i had it for a while. I take methylphenidate for my ADHD which calms me down by slowing a certain part of the brain down so i can concentrate. But it makes me eat less. But i think i would not of changed that i have ADHD. i did do stupid things but if i did not do certin things i may not of had the same life as i do now.
MachoneTheSavageCat !! It's interesting how our pills work I take something called Adderall. I do studies things do and if I don't take it I just can't sit still or sit at all. I'll get in trouble
@@amandataylorversion1989 same I can't sit still. I also love drawing.......so much so I take out my art set and start drawing and lose track of time and sometimes in class. Lol
For me, when people get annoyed with me constantly fidgeting then I stop my arms/legs/toes/jaw from moving but when I do then I get extremely sidetracked and have urges to blink. For instance my teachers will tell me to stop but maybe 3 seconds later I blink really hard and I’ll start blinking repeatedly. Having adhd is tough and yes people fake it, but they’ll never know what it’s like to actually have it. I can never focus in school and I’m always doodling on my papers,making noises, and my professors always yell at me saying this isn’t a preschool classroom
I've had ADHD since I was in grade 1 and I've even been tested but mum doesn't want me to go on meds. I'm really struggling in classes and falling behind, I try and try to listen but I cant it's like it goes through my head straight away.
Sheridan & Jordan I have the same issue of things going straight through my head. If you’re worried about grades, just study before a test, like me. Despite not remembering anything I read, it comes back in the test, if it’s asked
adhd feels exactly as shown in the video. i focused so hard on the one student throwing the paper ball and the other one sleeping, that i actually didn't noticed this scene was ment to distract you. I think if you don't have adhd, you would just know in the back of your mind, that this video is supposed to distract you. Hope this makes sense
Yes - that’s because when doing something you like, your brain releases extra hits of dopamine. Because ADHD people don’t make enough dopamine overall, our brains crave it, so we are often brilliant at hyper focusing on things we enjoy, but totally unable to do boring things. For example I can recite several Shakespeare plays basically off by heart, but I am always behind on my laundry haha
Once I didn’t pay attention to who I was sending a text to. I usually text my friend a screenshot of me and my crushes conversations and say “WHAT DO I SAY??” One time I sent it to him and I didn’t realize until he said “uh?”
sometimes it’s really hard cuz i am reading a book or studying but my brain is not with me? it’s like i read but don’t understand and then i get really stressed im so happy my teacher gave me a full mark on my project even tho i submitted it 8 days late she understood me and helped me. i sometimes try to focus but it’s so frustrating and sometimes it affects my speech

True. I’m just blinking rapidly now.
Anyone else when they are in a perfectly normal situation randomly start hearing everything everyone around you is saying and it gives you major anxiety?
Yes I have most symptoms of ADHD but I'm not diagnosed

Yes, it freaks me out because then I'm taking in so much.
I hear literally everything and it’s so loud
Yessss
My mom thinks i cant study because of my phone
fried egg missed an opportunity to say it’s cause of that damn phone!
Shes not wrong, the phone or more specifically social media, and entertainment apps can become an escape and also creates dopamine intolerance. I try to limit myself when and where possible, once a week I try to have 24 - 48 hours where I will use apps to block all non essential apps, games, social media, entertainment and if your at that age pornography is a big problem, sometimes referred to as a dopamine fast. It feels pretty rough during that time but I feel alot more alert, productive and human in the days following as I increase dopamine sensitivity and give my brain a little boost, I feel alot better afterwards.

Does anyone else feel more motivated when doing stuff with friends by watching them work?!
Yes - this is actually a proven strategy for helping with ADHD. It’s called ‘body doubling’ :)
yess
SAME!
My friend who recently got diagnosed with adhd always asks me to study together but i seriously cant. I cant focus with her, honestly she even annoys me:/
It’s called “body doubling”!
As someone with high functioning ADHD, when someone's asks being in my shoes is like, I tell them "go a whole day without being able to control your impulses or not being able to stand loud sounds. Your thoughts come and go in an instant and constantly listening to music helps you focus and calm down."
i thought i was tripping on the listening to music thing lol i always have my beats on
Yeh - Listening to music literally focuses my attention onto what I'm doing, what doesn't help is that my parents don't know how to gently do things so if I'm not wearing something with noise cancelling then I'm officially unable to concentrate... What doesn't help is that I'm still finding a music taste so I'm by this point just playing random playlists on Spotify at loud volume lol
I always have AirPods in when I brush my teeth
So not being able to stand loud noises is something related? Serious question 🙌
bro I feel that music shit

Try skipping the boring parts and playing the video at double speed. Sometimes it helps if you really want to watch the video but get bored

ADHD: Hey draw some squares and circles
why do people keep saying that just because they're not listening to the teacher they have ADHD, there is so much more to ADHD and its kinda frustrating that people think its a meme or something lol, im not sure if I have OCD or ADHD but it really gets in the way of doing something simple like watching a RUclips video
@@sonicgirl3582 same. I'm think I've got ADHD but I haven't been diagnosed yet. I'm meeting a psychiatrist tomorrow so I'll finally know for sure. Not everyone who can't pay attention has ADHD, so it's important not to jump to conclusions.
If I do get diagnosed, then my kind of ADHD is mild. Like I don't run around and fidget. But, I DO have a realllyyyyyy difficult time sitting still for a long time, I can't concentrate, I get easily distracted. Even then, I can't definitively say I've got ADHD. Only a psychiatrist can.

I drift off info into either thoughts and just empty space so many times throughout the day. When it comes moments of being lost in space,my theory is I'm actually thinking but when I snap out of it I immediately forget what I was thinking. It's fkn annoying.
Take driving for instance. Ever since iv been driving, it's very common for me to drive for miles in auto pilot, snapping out of it not even remembering the last 20 minutes of driving. If I'm on the phone for more than a few minutes,it's a guarantee I will space out and not have heard anything for a few seconds or minutes. So you can imagine school growing up was a nightmare
Kyle Paulo i feel u bro, my grades are slipping and going down so bad and low, whenever people like the teacher teach i day dream about some fightscene in my head or just blankness or i think of some song looping in my head and then a word someone said to me looping over and over again ahhhh its just so annoying, ive been so forgetful and i never do my homework on time, i sometimes just dont do it or do it at the last second and normally when i do it im at the beginning then i phase out then i just do something else then do it at last second and whenever i try to revise on tests it just doesnt workkkkk
Whenever I’m reading I always think about other things and somehow I finished a whole chapter and I don’t remember even reading.

Very relatable. Welcome to the brotherhood

I doesn't help me to focous on the things she's saying when the doctor is kinda hot
Yeah it happened to me when i was trying some self hypnosis videos
I feel like a lot of the mainstream ignores adult "ADD"...meaning I'm not necessarily constantly fidgeting or cant sit still, just I'm always thinking of other things than what I should be thinking about in that point in time. For example ...thinking about what I'll work on when I get home while my manager is explaining what he wants me to do in the next couple days.... then I have to track back and rely on memory or embarrassingly ask him to repeat himself.
Charlie Dallachie I have add too
Same here!!
Oh wow. You have totally described my version of ADD. it's great to know I'm not the only one out there with my kind. Merry Christmas from England. Xoxo
When you are so focused on getting focused in what people are saying to you and than you realize that you weren't listening because you were thinking really hard that you had to focus
Thats why you need to keep notes brother. Friends birth days, important dates, times to go places, etc type them in your phones notes so you dont forget whatever it is.
So I have adhd, but imagine if I got so unlucky, that I inherited my grandmas short term memory loss, the second you get distracted, it’s all over.
My short term memory has been getting worse. I'm only 18 and I've been diagnosed with ADHD usually when I'm having an episode I get bad anxiety which turns into the verge of a panic/anxiety attack. Usually pacing, walking in circles, walking around. Going up and down the stairs because I need new scenery and occasionally checking my phone to finish a 5 word sentence that has taken 12 minutes to complete.
@@antiairgamingchair-2543 same but I'm 15 and randomly get anxiety attacks over nothing- plus I even have ocd which makes it worse. Did you talk to your doc about it. You can have therapy too if you are comfortable with it

Hw is a nightmare. Please just let me do all my work in a quiet room with the only thing I need to do is school work, not dishes, cleaning, TV, get water, make food.
@@Illumiinarian Same thoughts. Its completely ok to be nervous so feel at ease knowing youre definitely not alone.
Get every single reminder app that works for u, organization app, and study tactics that are effective for ppl with adhd. Hopefully you find something that suits you. Don’t be afraid to bring a notepad everywhere, clarify instructions from profs, and show your eagerness to learn. Having a notepad earlier means you dont have to rely on your memory and will physically have a record you can look back on.
Wishing u the best and hoping we’ll get through college together. Likewise to everyone with adhd, we’ll be fine with our hyperfocus set on growth
Adhd just kills the productivity 😔
I can walk in one room for 3 hrs but sitting at work for 5 mins seems like duhh
Even though i have passion for it 🥺😔
Something I realized a lot of people are unaware of (I also have ADHD and finally sat down after many years to fully research it) and basically people with ADHD are Neurodivergent (like people with Autism and other learning disabilities) and also have bad sensory issues. It's because we take in too much sensory input but at the same time if we don't get enough, we'll become depressed. So we also do stimming behaviors(repetitive movements done to stimulate or regulate yourself) like shaking our legs to like, distract us if we are overwhelmed or stimulate us if we're bored. Actually researching ADHD is super fascinating and I think everyone with ADHD should do it. Turns out it's not really a matter of lacking attention, and more of a matter of not being able to regulate it. We're either full on or not at all and don't really have control over this. It's also a common known fact, scientifically proven, that people with ADHD, our brains actively take in more sensory information than mentally healthy people. Normally people can ignore things like a subtle touch a smell outside etc but people with ADHD, our brains take it all in and that's why we get anxious and overstimulated
yo i think i might have adhd im 13 years old and im getting an assessment in like a week nd i have a question
is it still the same thing if like, tapping sounds ect dont make me anxious but just make me very angry and annoyed
like i get bearly any slea[p cuz i hearvery small tapping sounds from my brother typing downstairs T-T

When I have to sit still I just cant. And its even worse if I have to focus on something. If someone is talking to me for really l just want to get up and walk away.
Well, if I am taking a test (which means I have to sit still) my brain seems to be very active causes me to fidget
When I try to hold still, it makes the twitching worse. I couldn't stay still to save my life

Now I wish I had started medication 15 years ago because I'm sure I would have build a stable life by now. I've had millions of good ideas but finished none of them because most of the time, a "better" idea came to mind while working on the project so I jumped to the new project.

I've been beating myself up thinking its just a moral problem even though I've been spending this last year trying to get my life on track. But part of me does wonder if I have adhd. Been going back and forth on whether or not to talk to a doctor about it because I'm worried I'm being over dramatic. But I think I'm going to go.

all the way to 5 and each number you call out let all the fear run out of you, and with each progressing number make the fear worse after completing this you should feel like success and hope instead of feeling like shi, goodluck. hope that made sense.

People with ADHD are way more special than most of the people that I know.
Actually their achievements and their efforts have way more value, at least in many of those things.
My gf has ADHD, and I can truly say that she's the most capable and smart person I've ever known. And these types of videos help me to know more about this world and love her even more.
In conclusion, I'm convinced that ADHD is not so much a disorder, but a way of showing others that even so, you can be the same or more capable, strong and smart than them. And of course with a LOT of value.

As someone with ADHD, I often find it hard to stand still sometimes. When I’m standing and talking to someone, I start swaying without realizing it. My family’s been trying to get me to break that habit, but it’s hard for me to control and I don’t immediately realize that I have been swaying. I also find it hard to concentrate on assignments, even in classes I do genuinely like. Music does help me concentrate better, but there are times where I don’t feel motivated to play some music bc of me wanting to listen to a RUclips video instead, which of course leads me to watching the video, then unintentionally falling asleep for an hour. I am wondering if I should get back on the meds, but I’m worried if I mention it to my mother, she might brush it off and say I’m fine. Perhaps once I move out and have my own house I’ll consider looking for any therapists that can help me.
Know what.. show some adhd videos to your mother. She needs to understand what we are going through. It's not easy to live life like this. Tell her, how's it. Show her some videos
Bad mindset, if you want something just say it. If she would just brush it off, then you have nothing to lose

Thanks for the video. I've been trying to gain a better understanding of ADHD and my family isn't even trying to understand. They look at it as, "Oh so it's the hyper active part that makes you unfocused. Lets give you medicine to calm him down." So I went on the medicine for about for 6 years from 3rd grade to 9th grade. And all it did was make me feel depressed and while I wasn't hyper anymore, I felt sad. Once I hit 10th grade I lied to my parents telling them I took the medication without really doing so until 12th grade when they decided it wasn't working. I haven't been on medication since and I'm not sure I wanna go back again. I'm 23 with a part time security job (Security and ADHD is a terrible combo. I don't know how I kept this job for 3 years. XD) and I feel like my ADHD is getting in the way of my everyday life. I even have issues socially. Starting and holding conversations, staying focused, getting distracted easily, changing topics out of nowhere, etc. Even got distracted writing this comment and browsed Discord for about 5 minutes. XD
Hey why don't you consult a doctor? You cant be with adhd all the time. Take a therapy
It made me depressed too when I started methephenyldate.... but overtime your body adapts I think. I think you should consult alternatives or take it in smaller dosages going into larger ones over time. It's not easy, but I realize I need it. I've been off it for 6 months and I've gotten into 6 wrecks and 2 speeding tickets. Never had those in my life. I've been driving for 6 years and I typically drive 2 hours everyday. Also I'm doing worse socially I realize. More impulsive to react on my emotions :/

Careful how you say his name dude amen 🙏
I have severe attentive ADHD and disassociation issues. I hate it more than anything. I can barely even think straight and my body acts before my mind. I hear people speaking sometimes, but their words just seem to float through my head. They never stick. Promises are hard to hold, because I can't remember something someone did or said. ADHD is not fun or cool. So to those who think it's cool, it's really not. It's caused my grades to deplete, fights and breakups, and disappointing friends. It's not fun. So please stop acting like it is.
don't make promises then, if you communicate openly with people, most will understand. Just explain that you will try your best, but that you won't promise, because you have limitations & your priority is to not let them down.
My parents, a few teachers, and many people have been blaming me my whole life for not paying attention or not caring about stuff that i didn't remember, when i would spend hours torturing my mind trying to remember it or understand why i was like this. It has been really difficult making the same mistakes over and over without seeming to learn and being called names like selfish or immature when i am the first impacted by my actions. Happily, i've been learning about ADHD and realised i display all the symptoms. After many years, my parents finally agreed to let me see a neuro-psychologist/therapist ; i'll see the results of my IQ test and a few tests that seem related to ADHD and other mental disorders i may have in around a month, so i'll try coming back here :]

This whole comment section
Karen you are looking at ur phone
I've never been diagnosed (because I have the female presentation) but literally everyone I know thinks I have ADHD. I'm daydreaming constantly (maladaptive), people have entire conversations with me and there are points where I just zone out completely, I hyperfixate on things that interest me (I'd watch the same show over and over again, etc), I talk very loudly and often out of turn and I say things I don't mean without getting the chance to think about it. There are also periods of time where I'm extremely impulsive. Like I accepted doughnuts some random guy on the street. I have such a hard time concentrating, especially when there's noise surrounding me as well. I know I have OCD, which apparently isn't uncommon for people with ADHD. Dunno, I think I might have to get screened.
Pretty much it ya. I have adhd self diagnosed. Unlike many others im 100% sure i have this and anxiety or something as ive been experiencing the same shit over and over again lol and i do see it in others and they think they have nothing. But ya ive experienced alot of what you said the OCD thing is actually reallly weird becuase i dont belive i have ocd but sometimes i really think i do becuase its a teeth grinding feeling trying to do some things perfect but at the same time im the opposite and dont care. Same thing with being a "clean freak", like taking out the trash or cleaning the backyard of dog poop i feel it being too discusting to even do dishes or touche a trash can but ill do handstands in the street or use raw meat for food and forget to wash my hands and be perfectly fine with doing so and eat with my fingers lol so i really dont know for some things. Idk fi you can relate...ALSO typing 5fucking paragraphs when you origionally were going to type half of 1 is also a symtom. I noticed in your comment myself. I notice but just becuase im fully aware of all this shit dosent mean i can stop it becuase it just dosent work.
In modern society yea, it is maladaptive. But it may be possible that it was somewhat beneficial to our ancestors. For instance people with adhd think outside the box. The impatience and unwillingness to spend too much time thinking about solutions makes us come up with very quick solutions to problems others wouldn't think about. Another theory is that adhd may have benefitted men as hunters. Hunting doesn't necessarily require hours of intense focus, The slight sound of an animal, or peripheral disturbance causes an impulse to automatically look in that direction. Now when on the hunt, literally and metaphorically, people with adhd can exhibit excellent and stream line focus. Another theory is that it developed and was the reason for humans to first migrate out of africa. It has to do with the novelty seeking that is a part of adhd that makes it plausible. Excitement from exploration overrides the dangerous aspects of it. Or we might have had shitty discipline as children or have lesions on the right hemisphere of our brain. AKA brain damage.
Frosty Girl Draws u should get it diagnosed, cause I was diagnosed in 1st grade. And everyone thought my sister has it but she was diagnosed with it 3 times. And she wasn’t. But she has a lot of the symptoms. It’s a brain thing. It’s a thing u can have part of but there are different types of hyperactivity. And also a natural human thing for being impulsive and hyper. But idk just get it checked cause diagnosing urself can trick ur brain into thinking it to. And if u do I suggest therapy for the first few years. It can help with school and how to give yourself safe methods of paying attention
Damani Dorsey do you even know what that is
@@damanidorsey7255 how did you get Tourettes from their comment? Literally none of that has anything to do with tics

Me.... was too busy looking at the doctors mouth 😂
Instead of staring at the smartboard in class and paying attention, I'll stare at a small hole on the wall or a discolored spot the entire time.

I have ADHD, and I have to say, one thing that seriously pisses me off more than anything is when my parents (who don’t have adhd and don’t understand my struggles) tell me that I just need to try to focus harder. It has the same effect as telling someone with dementia to "just try harder not to forget something". Its just not that simple. I cant just "try to focus harder". ugh
31 here recently diagnosed after a family intervention. until very recently i was truly alone and have battled my life thinking i was just a lazy uncaring all around bad person. the mind is a powerful tool and when it truly starts to believe the bad things you tell yourself horrible self destructive actions quickly follow. having recently been so low that im still realizing how bad it really was im still spending days reading comments and finding peace in the truth that i was never that horrible person i started to believe i was. I finally know what im dealing with isnt just a excuse and more importantly that im not alone. Jesus Christ is the only reason im alive today and his spirit is heavy on me that i thank anyone who helps me. Thank you for making me feel not alone. God bless you and your journey.
my dad always makes me feel like shit whenever i mess something up slightly. sometimes he says something to me and im like, what did he say again? or did he say something and he just fucks up my confidence whenever i do something wrong, hes even getting mad at me for not having friends
@@CheeseburgerStreaming not having friends? oh boy I can relate :)

Papa Cage yes I do that I thought it was just me lol
Did it bother anyone else when the doctor put the gloves on then grabbed the ear scope just for the patient to leave? Like, who is she going to examine now?? Lol

I thought the same but I guess maybr she want to check other patient

This is a good video. Thank you for making it. Everyday I wake up I can't stand myself until I take my Concerta because I can't keep a straight thought.
I'm in the same boat, but one thing is different. I take Vyvanse.
Heyyyy I take concerta tooo,except I can stand myself but my parents can’t
Concerta is so effective but its soo damn expensive
I can’t keep a straight thought with it or without it I’m on 54mg
i got diagnosed with ADHD at 8 years old i never really cared to look into it but now 4 years later that i have watched this it makes so much sense..thanks ig
It’s the millions of tabs being opened on one page for me....
I do this💅🏾
Wait that wasn’t just me? I have at least 20 tabs open everyday-
Ironically, this isn’t the most ADHD-friendly video. 😅 I zoned out within no time lol. 🥲
I just wrote the exact same comment 😭
Yeah, I thought it was funny how it showed the blinking but then half way I just zoned out 🤣🤣
I didn’t even realize the video was 3 minutes already I was having an intense battle scene play out in my mind lol

When I opened her description I closed it back so quick 😂
At the age of 22 I start listening to lectures & others Im thankful to God i feel great change in myself,
I run 10 km daily and dont eat food contain sugar. So I'm less hyperactive .
I'm a 22 years old psychology undergraduate who's currently having trouble graduating due to my problem with concentration. As a psychology student, I know that we shouldn't diagnose ourselves, but when I read about the symptoms of ADHD, I can help but relate. Seems that I've had them all my life, being misunderstood by many people. The effect on my life shift and change all the time, sometime it's prominent, sometimes it isn't. Currently I'm probably at my worst state. I can't concentrate at psychology classes that require great deal of concentration to understand, like Inferential Statistics and Psychometry, with mymind shifting from imagination to embarrassing memories in class, all the damn time. And I'm currently feel so burn out of living 16 years of my life worrying about grades, yer at the same time, I can't imagine how will I deal with work deadlines if I'm already burn out about grades and assignments. I like psychology, and have passed all the classes that make psychology interesting, but now... I feel like.... I've had it enough. I want to lay down and rest for a bit, but there's no time left for that. I've gone this far.
You may even tell about my concentration problem from my writing pattern....
I did my engineering with this problem, you can do it too.
Partway through the video, I realized I'd been zoning out and staring out the window for two minutes xD
I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 4, however I've never really experienced much of the side effects apart from spacing out in the middle of lectures and what not, so I feel very blessed that I haven't had to go through the same kind of experiences others did.
I dont trust your diagnosis, adhd is not something you can just identify in a child, since teenage years it is sure it can be, even so, there's the possibility its not adhd, because its so vague
How could you possibly know if you have adhd at age 4? Toddlers aren’t expected to sit still and write essays all day
Immediately zoned out, expected a day in the life POV kind of video I could show my loved ones but it’s like a school project on ADHD instead.
I started to think about something else and I noticed I was still watching the video 1 minute later
You know it's real, when even watching a video on adhd you've found it hard to concentrate and move to something else 🤣
ever ask for directions and don't really listen ?
nothing can't be solved by a walk of 5 kilometers
I did an entire presentation on ADHD a few years back. I remember finding out that everyone had to explain their topic to preschoolers and I PANNICKED
Bruh why do preschoolers need to learn about adhd lmao, most of them probably barely know their abc's
Except I have ADHD and apparently everyone says I’m disabled 😣
It CAN be disabling to some people. Just like folks with autism spectrum disorder (asd) it's a spectrum. Some with ADHD can be very successful and need little day to day help while others can function without help and reminders and such. While it can be consider a disability. It is not always a disability to everyone who has it.
While others can't***
@@zoeylynnbrooks101 I agree
Or autistic, or they say they have adhd cus they can't focus but they dont know what its like
You are disabled in a very concentrated way
I love this because even tho instead of actually watching the video I’m just reading the comments and seeing how relatable they are 😩💅🏼
This explained my impulsiveness and how easy I make regrettable decisions. I didn't know that was a symptom of my ADHD
I've been searching for hours trying to find anything about my adult ADHD that wasn't boring and could hold my attention long enough without my mind wandering off. Thank you. I was so close to uploading something terrible but also eye catching enough to help others with ADHD rather than the thousands of boring lectures that are supposed to help us. These so-called professionals are obviously joking and obviously none of them have any lived experience.
When she tapped on the keyboard, I felt that.
I'm 14 and I haven't been diagnosed yet but it's pretty obvious I have ADHD. doing one math problem alone takes almost 10 minutes. I'm literally failing school. My mom says I'm just lazy and I'm lying about possibly having ADHD. I've told her i know something is wrong with me but she doesn't believe it. :(
i hope your mother will be able to come to the understanding that its not some silly excuse for you to make soon.
Same, but I'm already 18
@@K4TEN thank youuu. she finally took me to NY to get brain scans and it turns out I have adhd and anxiety. I'm also homeschooled now and getting lots of help. :)
i don’t wanna sound like just some idiot who thinks he can diagnose himself, but i’m not sure, tell me what you think. i personally dunno.
1. i always fidget about
2. it’s really hard to pay attention in class
3. i always start things and never end up finishing
4. i always get super stressed for no reason
5. sometimes i get so distracted in conversations i fade into space for a little bit
6. i cannot stay completely still for even a minute without moving
When I sleep somehow I make the bed messy as fuj
I watched this video years before getting my diagnose and came back now and oh my god I'm so happy to finally have an answer as to why I am how I am, thank you for the useful advice and info!
I have combined ADHD and it feels great to know that there are people to relate too :)
When and by who did you get diagnosed
If forest gump was a doctor how would he word it cause I need that explanation
1:53 Nicce, now I’m just gonna look at the ground all day to cure my ADHD
whenever i’m focusing i accidentally think of something small and those thoughts lead to more and more until i get deep into a completely different subject within my mind and until i finally realize i need to focus again
It's like you were in my brain! this is so helpful! Thanks for putting it together!
The Leg Bounce (TM) actually makes a pretty cool sound on a classroom floor
This comes from experience
Ever since ive became spiritual ive learned to control my adhd, its also good to work on self discipline ive experimented with not taking my medicine so I learned to control myself without having to be in control as well. Self discipline may be not as easy at first but then it becomes way easier. This really clicked for me when my old boss told me a story about his son having adhd and that him and his friend were watching their little sister but they werent paying attention and she went in a pond and died, it wasnt because of this particular part because you know not completely grasping the pain of this situation, but that I had to learn to control myself, its okay to not be okay sometimes but you've got this
Also when I feel impulsive or have anxiety from medicine I go to a comment section and spread good information that will help someone it helps calm me down and regroup and form a habit of thinking before I act, because teaching to others helps me feel like im useful and it practices being nice, because I used to say things I didnt mean that were hurtful to people because of the impulse and because anxiety can make you feel like what you're doing is meaningless so its good to find that good headspace again then focus back on what you were doing.
When I click on a video, I immediately go to the comments. If they don't have comments available I find another. I find it enjoying to scroll down and do other things, since I have trouble paying attention to the video.
*when you try to focus so hard that you end up not focusing and instead zone out without noticing it*
I have ADHD and I cant even stand/sit still for 5 seconds.... yesh
When ever I get I get i in trouble I feel like I can’t do anything without messing something up like
me too its like its not our fault but we get in trouble
Ikr i don’t get it but it keeps happing
Why did this video get randomly recommended to me after I watched the recent trash taste episode wtf 😂
Same
is this the video garnt was talking about ?
@@tigma5335 Im looking for that vid
Same bruh💀
I have ADHD and I started mostly takeing its toll on me in 3rd grade. Thats when instead of kindergarten where you made things and play all day. I just could not focus and nit able to sit still. I am going to 6th grade this year so i had it for a while. I take methylphenidate for my ADHD which calms me down by slowing a certain part of the brain down so i can concentrate. But it makes me eat less. But i think i would not of changed that i have ADHD. i did do stupid things but if i did not do certin things i may not of had the same life as i do now.
You beautiful human, you.

OMFG EVERY TIME IT BLINK MY BRAIN WOULD JUST ZONE OUT I ARRRGGG
I love this video, it is a great way to quickly introduce to someone whom is normal functioning as to what goes on with ADHD in people.
Girl they have no idea how it is having ADHD
Victoria Traynum i know its shit because half of your class has fake adhd and then the teachers are like i aint getting paid enough for this
i have adhd i know what it’s like
For me, when people get annoyed with me constantly fidgeting then I stop my arms/legs/toes/jaw from moving but when I do then I get extremely sidetracked and have urges to blink. For instance my teachers will tell me to stop but maybe 3 seconds later I blink really hard and I’ll start blinking repeatedly. Having adhd is tough and yes people fake it, but they’ll never know what it’s like to actually have it. I can never focus in school and I’m always doodling on my papers,making noises, and my professors always yell at me saying this isn’t a preschool classroom
Yeah they just dumbed it down for the vid
I have ADHD and you are right, it is so hard, sometimes I just don't want to live.
If I don't have multiple things to do my ears start ringing and I zone out- ADHD is great
I've had ADHD since I was in grade 1 and I've even been tested but mum doesn't want me to go on meds. I'm really struggling in classes and falling behind, I try and try to listen but I cant it's like it goes through my head straight away.
I hate math and last year i failed my sol and i hate school teacher pissed me off and they are annyoiong
Check out the channel howtoadhd and show it to your mom.
Sheridan & Jordan I have the same issue of things going straight through my head. If you’re worried about grades, just study before a test, like me. Despite not remembering anything I read, it comes back in the test, if it’s asked
adhd feels exactly as shown in the video. i focused so hard on the one student throwing the paper ball and the other one sleeping, that i actually didn't noticed this scene was ment to distract you.
I think if you don't have adhd, you would just know in the back of your mind, that this video is supposed to distract you. Hope this makes sense
I have adhd and I just lost my insurance and now I can’t get my medicine for it. I’m so scared I won’t be able to perform well at work now.
I hope you're doing alright girl !!!
Depending on your severity it's possible to control it without medication
Funny thing about ADHD is when I'm really interested in something, then I become hyper focused
Yes - that’s because when doing something you like, your brain releases extra hits of dopamine. Because ADHD people don’t make enough dopamine overall, our brains crave it, so we are often brilliant at hyper focusing on things we enjoy, but totally unable to do boring things. For example I can recite several Shakespeare plays basically off by heart, but I am always behind on my laundry haha
First I was watching this then 30 seconds later caught me playing with my dog . he was sleeping
How aware of her blinking she is hits me right in the feels
every time someone diagnoses themselves with ADHD i lose 5% of my soul
foreal everyone here says they have it but i bet most haven’t even gone to get checked
@@yellowbbq9603🙄
Once I didn’t pay attention to who I was sending a text to. I usually text my friend a screenshot of me and my crushes conversations and say “WHAT DO I SAY??” One time I sent it to him and I didn’t realize until he said “uh?”
i accidentally texted my dad 'how are you, sexy' with the devil emoji whilst i was texting my girlfriend ... awkward
How do expect someone with ADHD to listen 2 this long lecture
sometimes it’s really hard cuz i am reading a book or studying but my brain is not with me? it’s like i read but don’t understand and then i get really stressed im so happy my teacher gave me a full mark on my project even tho i submitted it 8 days late she understood me and helped me. i sometimes try to focus but it’s so frustrating and sometimes it affects my speech
One minute into the video and I'm already distracted thinking what video I'm going to watch next, I love my ADHD 😂😂
