This is my life 😢

Dahmmmmm you inside my brain

Spot on

1. 10 minute timer 2. Write 2-3 important tasks for the day. Do One at a time. 5. Distraction journal 6. Easier tasks when unfocused.

Never in my life has a video connected with me so much. 31 and recently diagnosed with ADHD and its literally answered so many questions I had about why I am the way I am

I’m 43 and I’ve done/had this all of my life. I’ve nearly driven myself insane with what others might be thinking of me. I’ve pushed everyone away since my 20’s (friendships were always rocky due to my sensitivity). It’s so much to handle. It makes me so tired and sad. Best to you all

Depressing video with no solution

But I dont see the clutter, garbage piling up and the clothes that needs to be fold. I dont see the dust and when I do and try to get rid of them I find somthing to put away and half way there I see something else on the wrong spot and suddenly I dont remember what Im supposed to do and doing something completely diffrent.

My problem it that i have the earge tonthow every thing away and not keep any thing and i cant do that any more because my wife says that un healthy

Criticism is normal, its okay for me. Therefore I may not having it.

AI is really annoying. It also sometimes lies so for that reason I don’t ask AI for help.

This is scary how accurate this is!!! This is my number one problem in life! This is just adhd?

Me too😭😂

Jesus, so spot on for me too🥲👍🏼🙏🏼

Trying to practice humility and appreciate basic things has helped me recently. It's not easy, but has helped me feel a little calmer.

And? This video is just a waste, Its still did not gave us a solution!

is dysphoria the opposite of euphoria?

who is going to put up with being criticized for a situation or for a condition that he or she did not seek (no one is responsible for his or her genetic heredity)?

I thought it was hopeless for me to read, but I'm finally in 80mg of Strattera and I can focus on reading books like a laser, it's an incredible feeling! Before, I would daydream for ages after reading just a sentence and I couldn't remember the previous page because I would put down the book for months out of frustration. I'm finally a bookworm again, like I was when I was a little kid 🥹💞 I never thought I'd find a medication that works for me, I'm so glad I was wrong!

This whole video is basically just saying “I don’t accept myself as I am and stubbornly persist on how I think I should be, rather than simply seeing that my expectations of myself are completely separate from who I really am and trusting that there’s a reason that I’m behaving the way I do.” Maybe I should make a video on that

What helped me was choosing a nice smelling dish soap and ergonomic fancy sponges Or keeping a brush right under the sink so when I feel the urge to scrub I can start right away and dont need to go to the kitchen first Another one would be folding the clean clothes very roughly But I also live in Europe where we often use drying racks so I can pick for example a shirt, fold it twice, put it on one edge of the drying rack an make little piles like all the undies and socks etc to them take them to the closet in bunches It doesn't look too tidy but it is kind of sorted and that's the motivational part I tell myself to invest these additional three minutes is surely gonna save me stress in the morning when I just want to pull a random outfit and get ready And when I put the wet clothes on the rack I like to use my headphones and a juicy dnb playlist to have a little laundry party It's much more fun doing it swinging and bopping than to do it thinking 'sheesh that's boring' Because I know I could easily spend 30 minutes in total using up that load of fresh clothes running around like a headless chicken for three minutes every morning To me it's about creating very individualised structures and routines that make sense to you in these crucial and challenging moments and also not forgetting about choosing a playful approach

Great. Well I guess now I spend the rest of life fixing myself and all my hopes in on hold cause I'm 54 now so by the time that I'm fixed enough it will be the time to die. Cause you know how things go. Good things are slow and bad things are fast happening. I left a clear trail that that I was struggling in the evidence of my school records beginning at failing grade 1 and all of my extremely poor grades from then on. And purposely producing poor to get someone's attention to investigate but they never did. So when i had to stop the silence screaming and reach out i was still ignored by everyone including doctors which ended up with me suffering the rest of my life now that im 54

This describes me exactly.

What i do is set a section of a room to clean this weekend and for the next weekend i do another section. I don’t always finish the section I planed for the day but at least is better than what it was b4 🙃

What the?!? I scored 100%. I didn't even think I had this, I watched because I believed my sisters and mother have this... It turns out, we probably all have it. It explains a lot of the conflict. I have been harping on at them to go to therapy for emotional regulation purposes, since we cannot communicate effectively. It all makes sense now. I am in therapy and two others are now too. It doesn't mean it becomes easy to communicate. I am frank and often hurt others feelings, who in turn, attck me verbally, sometimes physically. I often withdraw from family functions and group chats for prolonged periods for my sanity. Thank you for shedding light on this issue.

I want to try the ten mins but once I take that break I never come back 😢

I relate to this so much! If i ever get diagnosed i will update :) (please reply so i can update later)

Thanks for this awareness video. I know someone who has ADHD. It helped me to understand the condition.

I may be very late, but seriously this is actually very true for me, and I had this problem for years, from 2016 to today, sometimes I feel happiness, but it was like a hay in a fire... and I was told by my own family relative that I have an extremely low amount of serotonin, dopamine, and stuff like that... I feel like the world is not only complicated because of my autism, but also I feel more weaker, more helpless as years go on. As of now, I still have nothing sparking inside me, I sometimes think of my situation like a desert... a empty desert with nothing, absolutely nothing, except sand, sand is great, like autism, but there's nothing there, just like how I have no dopamine and serotonin or anything like that... for years...

Although I saw this video late. I would like to thank you for this video because you basically just defined my life and how I feel. It's like an endless cycle and when I try to explain it to people they don't get it. They can't understand how mentally exhausting it is like a loop I keep coming back to. And a very heavy feeling that settles in my chest from me being disappointed in myself. It really does hit home

I love you. You make me feel better.

But ADHD didn’t give me low self-esteem, that was my shit mother

I used to think I’d make a great astronaut due to my comfort with solitude for extensive periods of time. I once didn’t speak to another person other than a cashier at the grocery store to say “thanks” for over two weeks until my friend brought it to my attention. Who knows how long I could go. I work in a crane right now. 12 hrs a day. In a box. I don’t even notice.

Im literally crying this is MEEEE 😭

the irony of me watching adhd focus videos for past half hour whilst doing other things and not paying attention to the contents of each video

Once I have been criticized and told I can't do my job the way I have found it works best for me I literally can't function. This causes me to make mistakes I wouldn't have made otherwise. It doesn't matter what my job is I end up getting fired over the smallest silliest things. I have lost more jobs than most people will have in three life times. It is very difficult to exist in a world where everything I do to make my job manageable for me is unacceptable. I'm now looking for my 45th job. And no, I'm not exaggerating.

LoL the speaker sounds like shes on overdose of dopamine xD

Dealing with a friend with ADHD. The friendship was hard, and I needed a break from her. Late all the time, interrupted conversation, inconsistent, jabbers too much, back seat driving, etc. It causes me anxiety.

Who has adhd and made it through this video? Nope gotta go

So grateful for this video - this is exactly what I have struggled with for decades.

Relates

i cried watching this. i relate to every single point you said.

This is me completely. I have destroyed my life with obsession

Are you Vietnam?

Ive been struggling with cleaning all my life, especially in regards to my little ADHD piles all over the place. Idk what came over me as its the first time ive seen any of your videos but hearing you describe your methods i felt really truly understood and i basically immediately got up and cleaned a bunch of stuff. Just being understood for the way my headspace is gave me immediate motivation and i really thank you for it. ❤ great video, i will watch lots more

Hello

I saw a lot of myself in this video. Maybe it is from years of low self esteem but I find it very hard to think of my own strengths as an individual. How have others come around this?

Sooo true!! Luckily I've been a happy person most of my life, but at a point discovered my interests never lasted - which felt so confusing. Diagnosed at 46.. I have a lot of learning to do ❤

I totally relate but uh... discipline. Frequently, I rediscover my love for something if I keep at it. Some days are boring but if I know I'm SUPPOSED to do something I pat myself on the back once I get myself to do it.

I want to cry, this is the video I needed Thank you SO much:))
