Big pharma is the answer to kids problems!🤨

I am now 60 and cant even get to sleep without Ritalin.. Helps me to relax and cope mentally with mankind's Insanity!

I see quirky people be like "ooh a squirrel, im so adhd lol" and then i actually have adhd and i accidentally turned my car on while still getting gas yesterday and almost killed myself. Its not cute or fun to have adhd. Ive accidentally put myself in danger multiple times. Stuff like that is also why non adhd folks might think people with adhd are dumb. Im not dumb. My brain just sabatoges me constantly and i forget things and dont notice things or i cant understand what someone is saying so i stare at them blankly trying to figure out what they said. Its so embarrassing and gives me major social anxiety because i know my next interaction might have a chance to go wrong because of my stupid brain. Then theres being in overstimulating environments where its too loud or theres strong smells or its too hot or cold or its too colorful or bright and all of that at once makes you want to go to sleep immediately and obviously i cant focus on anything thats going on. Im so exhausted all the time and i barely graduated and i cant keep a job. You do not want adhd. You do not want ocd. You do not want any mental illness or disorder. Stop romanticizing these things. They are fucking awful. They are a severe burden on your life and make it way more difficult to just be a person and exist.

I draw some Caracters, and it's like they took life in my head, everytime i get the chance to, i just imagine them in à daily life interacting with each other...

😕

personally i always sit down and start doing one thing, and then notice something else and start doing something with that and completely forget about the first thing. then i'll switch to something else and forget about the 2nd thing. something i've started doing is just drawing a little line on my fingernail when i sit down to do something, and for whatever reason, when i start to get off track i would see the line and get reminded of what i was originally doing.

Same I relate to the girl in the video

ADHD is AWESOME !!!! I've been a spaz my whole life. Never take drugs for it. Learn to control it and use it ! It helps you think outside the box because that is what you are doing alot of the time. It can teach you to multi task. It is a fantastic stress reliever. Use it to train yourself to pay attention when you need to, such as homework and tests ! Learn to daydream or think of multiple things and do work at the same time. Teach yourself to "get into the zone" or "in the groove" or to "get things flowing". It can make you mentally unstoppable. I've walked around most of my life with four tv screens up in front of me(In my mind only) I watch movies, read books, examine my stock portfolio, as I would do my daily work.

It's a lot worse than that, completely marginalized from the world, disregarded, judged, mal-adapted, hopeless, useless.

😣😭

Is it so wrong that I think ADHD makes you irresponsible? That I think people with it shamelessly refuse to just "pay attention" and "focus"? That I wouldn't date a woman with ADHD because I think she would neglect deep conversations and how I'm feeling?

It’s hard and i don’t know why people don’t understand

Hey😊

The bits with the kids need subtitles.

It sucks and the doctors keep trying to get me to OD on meds that make me disassociate from being myself. That's why I smoke now, they can go take my middle finger for what they did. I don't even have a decent concept of time or memory anymore, it's as if a few years ago I was 13 and now I'm 20 with an 8 to 5 job as an auto technician with depression. I applaud you if the medication worked, but all I was ever given was migraines and irritability. Smoking helped the most, as well as caffeine.

Parenting a child with add is exceptionally hard with minimal support especially when the child is in denial about their behaviour and completely lacks academic motivation, accountability and does nothing in the home. My son is 11 and he does nothing no class work, school work, tidying up nothing he sees school as a social place but doesn't engage in the academic part. It has made my life with him utterly miserable to the point I can no longer cope due to the extent its impacted my health and have to now send him to live with his father.

pov you have adhd and instead of watching the video you are scrolling through the comments

I Get sometimes angry for noe reason in the classroom and I just want to get all of that angrier out and sometimes I can’t concentrate

i like the potato man

Well I have anger issues and I cant pay attention really well.. like im most of the time last on the test.. and i have low scores most of the time

Chatting crap I’m diagnosed adhd it’s insomnia impulses focus from tiredness so many people criticise us.

*diagnosed with OCD and ADHD* Today I had my chemistry exam. I hadn’t revised much, because, well you know how it is. I tried my best to revise and when I managed to do some, well, it wasn’t on the test. The thing is, I don’t have the mental effort to write what happened right now so I’ll be back later LOL-

For me, i have A LOT of intrusive thoughts, i am really introverted, i can't focus on a conversation for more than 1 minute without wandering my eyes off. i do a lot of fidgeting when I try to concentrate (spin my pen or shake my leg). I get worried about the future, i believe things that aren't true like i am a real human volcano, i forget things incredibly easily and the effort i make to not do that makes things worse cuz i get more intrusive thoughts and bottle them up till they spill. I judge myself constantly and seek approval of the people surrounding me to know if i did something bad or wrong. I can't keep my brain on a "leash" and i can't get too happy about something or might as well feel bad about being happy, and much much MUCH more symptoms, i think I have ADHD 100% ( that's weird cuz i believe in something 100% but still not sure (?)) and my parents probs don't believe it, so it sucks, i wish i was medicated so it won't affect me so much academically.

I personally feel like my adhd is apart of my personality I enjoy it for the most part yes there are times it can effect me negatively like at work👀 but I wouldn’t trade it makes me who I an

Im 30 and I’ve always been mediocre in my scholastic endeavors and I’ve accepted it about a year ago and finally got medicated and I’m so grateful! I really appreciate all the kids input please do more The gentleman at min 3:00 is quite pleasant to list to please more interviews from him please thanks 🙏

I suspected that I have ADHD but wasn’t sure until got in touch with a therapist on Voicely app. I am so lucky that I decided to talk to a stranger there. Now I know what I am experiencing.

Is it good for anxiety and having to many rapid thinking. I was taking Valium but tried some friends Ritalin and my anxiety went away as well I could concentrate in on a task . Now having taken Valium, clonazepam for 10 years plus, how do I explain to my gp that a drug that is opposite works way better and I feel normal???? Any thoughts from experts …

I can sort of relate to the last kid but I'm not sure because it all feels like a mixture of symptoms to me so I just brush it off because of my parents but my sister feels like I might have ADHD or something along those lines.. I'm not sure I always feel aggressive for no reason and do/say things without reason or I move my hands really fast, constantly. It's just frustrating not knowing what it could be

This creepy cartoon has convinced me that it's A-okay to give kids legalized meth to deal with their behavior problems!! Shout out to all the parents out there that get their kids hooked on Ritalin to the point they need to take Xanax to fall asleep!! Really setting them up for success!!!

The kid at 1:36 speaks so well, like genuinley sounds so incredibly bright! Good for that lil guy, hope all these kids are still doing well on their adhd journey, i know how tough it can be, stay strong, trust me you'll meet cool people who love you for you and help you when youre struggling, its not a matter of if but when :3 Have a good one ✌️😋 PS also super glad they added that in medication decision making the child should ALWAYS be included in whether or not they even wanna take medication in the first place or whether or not a medication is working/ feels comfortable for the child. Forcing your kid to take a medication that alters them in a way they do not like can be incredibly traumatic believe it or not, theres many people who experience it. I'm so happy they brought it up and made it a point to emphasize "AND THE CHILD" in the medicine decision making process.

Very good video, I wish I had the daydream symptom instead of the fits of rage symptoms

I recently got diagnosed with inatentive ADHD after years of struggling in school, about to try medication for the first time and I am so excited but also nervous

I daydream and lose focus in class, that’s one of my bigger ADHD struggles. I also tend to be like the first boy in being a “human volcano” because I can’t regulate my emotions very well and I end up getting very angry very easily sometimes. I have significantly more problems with ADHD with school than in my personal life.

Kids with adhd, just need to run, climb trees ,slay dragons. It is so unnatural to sit in a classroom all Day, writing about stuff yoU don't need. To be conditioned for years and stuck in a chair, behaving. ,aLL THESE DRUGS TO MAKE YOU BETER AND NORMAL ARE REALLY PUTTING KIDS ON A LIFE OF MISERABLE ADDICTION, TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR EVERYONE ELSE. Same as antidepressants, antipsychotics, uppers, downers, alcohol.laxatives.vaccines.. we have been duped, and life becomes a matter of jail, institution or death. it is a matter of enough vitamins and minerals, not medication. And then you get cancer. FML

Say NO to drugs. Just say NO. Since when did people forget that rule?!

And for children is just concentrate in school. Imaging adult life, when you need to focus on house work, bills, on work, on raising children

I’m really starting to think I have inattentive type ADHD. I have almost all the symptoms and I am struggling in school so I think medicine would really help me. But I already know I have autism and I don’t want to seem attention-seeking, also my mom doesn’t really believe me because I’m not on the hyperactive, impulsive side.

What the boy said about being the last one on the test really hit hard. I'm usually the last one taking a test because my mind is elsewhere. I wish teachers wouldn't ask that. It makes me feel called out and ashamed, when I shouldn't feel that way. I do really well in school, but I'm just a bit slower than everyone else. It kinda sucks.

So it's more than just "I need a figit toy now! Ugh I can't do math :p lol. Omg guys stooooppp :< you're really activating my Adhd 👉🏻👈🏻" That was my impression of the 15 kids at my school that suddenly have ADHD

I've openly shared with people for years about how I was at school, the things I struggle with at work, and the relationship issues I've had. Me, of course, having no understanding of adhd as a condition, and growing up in a household where "ADD is just an excuse for bad parents", and my hyperactivity and lack of focus was treated with the old wooden spoon, I've even said repeatedly over the years "I'm sure if I ever got assessed that even I would have adhd." Looking back, I had been perfectly describing every single textbook symptom of innatentive adhd, and not one single person ever even suggested that it might be what it is. Years of report cards. In elementary school it was "Jason is such a pleasure to have in class, he demonstrates an understanding of the curriculum well above his peers, but he struggles with time management, frequently loses his belongings, doesn't complete his homework, is unable to keep his things organized, struggles to start tasks in class, struggles to complete projects, and is easily distracted. Like, seriously? Every teacher in every grade says the same thing and NONE of you thought "maybe this kid has something going on"? Grade 7, junior high hit me like a brick wall. Suddenly I was expected to be able to organize my own belongings across different rooms, different subjects, different teachers, work independently, complete long term projects, and stay engaged in things i didn't find interesting. "Failure to hand in assignments has affected the mark", "not trying hard enough", "is capable of better work", "inconsistent effort". Yet the classes that were mainly graded by in-class work, and focused on collaborative learning and creativity, the reports were "outstanding achievement, top mark", "an asset in class", "exceptional performance". I had always said, if I was interested in the class, and interested in the work, I aced it. If I wasn't interested in the work, even if I enjoyed the subject, getting me to do it was an exercise in futility. I've told countless people over the years how, no matter how hard I tried, in grade 11 and 12 physics in particular, which was a subject I enjoyed, I could not focus in class norther how hard I tried. The teacher had a style of just sitting and lecturing in front of the class. I missed about 3/4 of every word he said. When I graduated and went to community College and took plumbing, I was the first student the instructor had had in years that he felt comfortable recommending to compete in the provincial skills competition. I excelled well beyond the rest of the class, but I didn't come anywhere near top marks because I almost failed my portfolio, and my communications course that I was required to take. And that was purely from not being able to get myself to do the work. I never had to study, and frequently zoned out in theory classes while in college, and I still consistently scored at the top of the class. In relationships, it was always textbook love at first sight, and hyperfocus on the person until the shine wore off, then I killed the relationship with inattention. I struggle excessively with all of the administrative tasks in my work, to the point where I have been frequently brought into my boss' office and lectured in "I don't get why this is such a problem with you, you're so good at your work, but we're always chasing you down for paperwork and quotes. I don't buy that you can't get it done, nobody else has a problem getting these things done, why do you? You just need to stay on top of it. You're great at doing the things you want to do, we all have to do the boring things too. So just get it done." I have the working memory of a goldfish, no concept of time whatsoever, basically no sense of object permanence, I can't sit still to save my life, if I don't rigidly hold myself accountable in my work and triple check every thing I do I make so many careless mistakes that I'd lose my job in a week. I can't function without excessive routines, but I can't stick to a routine to save my life. I'm constantly told that I'm far to sensitive and react too strongly to everything, I can't plan or prioritize tasks without getting overwhelmed, my list of "phases" and hobbies that I've tried, gotten bored of, and abandoned is a mile long, I can forget a weekly meeting and be late for it every single week, even though I have repeated reminders and can talk about it the day before. You can ask me Wednesday afternoon "when is the weekly plumbing team meeting?" I'll tell you "every Thursday at 7:30 in the boardroom", then the next morning I walk in the door at 7:40 as the meeting is ending because I completely forgot, again, for the 10th week in a row. My wife asks me to peel potatoes for supper while she sleeps after a night shift, she wakes up, comes downstairs 5 hours later and finds me in the middle of painting the entire kitchen, and a bag of unpeeled potatoes on the floor because I got distracted. Nobody, not once, not ever, has ever suggested that I might have adhd.

I have ADHD and I relate to a lot of this

i have adhd and i talk to my self and say everything in my mind

It's interesting that people have bad experiences as children, but people who start taking it when they're adults say it changed their lives.

Bigger

There not telling how it makes u hate eating, or the stomach pain or sleep deprivation

I was rocking my chair while watching this and I fell off. Having ADHD sucks but its good to know that I'm not alone on this haha if only people would understand ughhhhhh I'm feeling frustrated now-

There's no such thing as "adhd" it's imaginary bullshit

Took as a kid

I’ve just got me first prescription of xenidate took it like 10 mins ago n I already feel different it’s fuckin weird
