These videos aren't too common, im glad you're making them, they really help
As a millennial girl with ADHD diagnosed in childhood (meaning it was severe enough that they were like, maybe she has this boy’s disorder), I am really relieved to spend time with you through this video. It took me so long to acknowledge that I was stimming, then masking, and I’m now in my 30’s trying to unmask. Just feels comforting to know that I’m not the only one who annoyed her parents, and always felt like I had to pretend- and thus started my overthinking.
I was looking for a body doubling video of someone doing their house work and chatting. A chatty body double. Sort of so I could feel like I was having a conversation, but a more one sided one, which is often how it goes. And then I found you! THANK YOU!
When you said if you are still in bed, I was busted 😂😂 I did get out of bed and I straightened up the kitchen. I’m adhd, with severe depression ,anxiety and physically disabled. You really helped me. I might have to watch this every day. Thank you! 😊
Hey wow this helped me finish my chem, shelve a lot of books I impulse bought, clean a lil bit, pick out an outfit for class tomorrow since I have to get up SO early, and work a lil on the book I need to read by Wednesday that I still haven't started.
Oh God Wednesday's tomorrow. I just realized this oh no.
😭 this comment was a rollercoaster ride, proud of u for getting all that done though!🫶🏼
this video helps SO much!! the fact that it’s longer, unedited, and has casual-sounding conversation helps me feel like i’m just on facetime instead of watching someone try to encourage me. currently cleaning my room!! 😁
You are so down to earth and so relatable. I put your video on in the background as I was work on my Etsy shop. I've been feeling really down in the dumps lately because life has been a struggle lately due to chronic pain and health issues. I know this video was meant to help for cleaning, but my anxiety and perfectionism have been bad lately and you helped me to feel not so alone. I appreciate it. New subscriber!
Awh im so glad it comforted you in some way. 🥹🥲 im sending u internet hugs and so much love 🫂
Honestly can’t remember if I’ve said this before, but I’m going to say it again even I have. Thank you for your videos, especially your ocd ones. They helped me when times were really dark and it was really comforting to see someone similar in age to me talk about the stuff they went through, so again, thank you 🖤
I pretty much immediately started working on my lab report when I started this video. I had been starting at a blank word doc for over an hour before this. Godsend 🙏
Omg im so glad it helped you start! You’re doing great🫶🏼
This kind of video is the perfect amount of stimulation a lot of times for me❤ like when audio books are too much but something without talking is too little
Goodmorning from Canada. I am packing up my room to move to a different place in the same city. I "just" need to get it in boxes and into the car. Let’s go James!!
Thank you for making content like this. I got my dishes and laundry folded. And you reminded me to have my tea and a little breakfast. So helpful!
I have watched this video more than I’ve done my dishes I feel like you’re my new favourite human, I thought I was just a funny sarcastic lunatic weirdo, and then I clicked on this video and it makes me SOOO HAPPY BUT OF COURRRSE THERES ACTUALLY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME FEELS AND THOUGHT PROCESSES as me!!! I’m sure it took a lot to post these videos because I always get self conscious of how I am being perceived, and you’ve helped me realise not to care and just be your true self, because that’s what makes you GLOW Thank you for your raps and songs and thank you for posting this video, something that may feel insignificant and jokey to you making this, figuring out what to say in the quiet moments, your self talk, it’s helped so many people already ! I’ve wanted to start posting but I’m too scared of being judged, so thank you thank you thank you for just being you, you’re beautiful, stay smiling you’ve made my day
Omfg ive just seen this but thanks so much this comment is so sweet
Thank you for this video ! I got up right away when you said "get up" and started cleaning my dishes while I listened to the video.
I think the fact you shared that it was a difficult day makes me feel less alone. I realize that I need body doubling but I can feel embarrassed asking for help.
Having your video on kind of makes me feel like I have a friend over talking to me when I clean. I think it's because your video isn't rehearsed it's just real.
Honestly this helped so much I have been searching for a creator that is relatable and it feels amazing to find a creator that i can relate to and goes through the same things as me there is so many creators that fake adhd and finding someone actually with adhd makes me happy to have some representation as someone with adhd and help bring light to the things we actually go through. I love this channel !!!
26:30 im doing my dishes and having coffee ! 8:20am here , this is so helpful to just feel like im not home alone cleaning in silence- music just isn’t enough sometimes!
Thank u so much! This helped me clean my entire living room on a Sunday so I can go into the week with a tidy space.
Omg yay, proud of you 😤🫶🏼
i needed this
This is like free therapy, thank you so so much. And I DO get stuff done along. Much appreciated
As a Canadian I slip into an english or australian accent when I'm feeling silly and it's so funny seeing you do the same thing in reverse
this is the first body doubling video i have ever watched and it has helped me SO much i can’t thank you enough for posting this i feel so validated and productive 😎
Cleaning is always so overwhelming for me, but a tip that always helps me even if I don't fully clean my room, I usually have a bunch of little things like hair ties and pens all over the place, so I just gather those and put them in their home. Sometimes that motivates me to clean more, sometimes it doesn't but either way my space is a bit cleaner.
I've been struggling hard to get a job as well, I've sent in a billion applications to literally everywhere in the city. I've been doing this for literally almost two years, and I haven't been hired once. Interviewers have even told me they really like me only to never contact me again. I've changed my curriculum a million times, I've sent in applications over email, in person, everything. Society holds moral value over being employed, but I try hard not to. If anyone reading this is also struggling, just know you're worthy because you're here and alive. Being employed doesn't give you value even if others try to make you feel like a loser. You're trying and that's all that matters.
Good luck with trying to become a hair hostess!
Thank you ❤️ this helped me clean my whole apartment floors (chore for the week)
Been looking for a chatty body-doubling video and thank you so much for this ❤ i needed to put all my laundry away, my most hated chore honestly, and since coming home from 2 holidays it's just piled up in the middle of my room as well as collected a bunch of clutter from rotating summer and winter clothes.. I never knew I could relate to the struggles of tidying up and feeling like I am "lazy" but I just have undiagnosed* adhd (*waiting to see a specialist) and have really shit executive dysfunction a lot of the time
got through 2 baskets of clean laundry now onto my 3rd.. i have to declutter around 4-5 piles left on my floor and 1 pile on my dresser xx wish me luck
I’ve been putting off cleaning my room for at least 3 months, I’ve been so stressed cause of the end of school and trying to stay in touch with people and stuff but this helped so much, I was in bed till 3 so then I rolled (and fell) and felt so much better and I cleaned my room! Thank you so much this helped me soooo much
I didnt even really have anything I needed to do today but this helped me to get up and do something that I at least had been wanting to do but hadn't. This also made me feel so much better about myself because I related so much to some of the things you did and talked about in this video 😭 it reminded me so much of myself. Anyway thank you so much for this video!!!
🫶🏼🫶🏼
This is one of the first times I’ve decided to watch a video for body doubling and this was hugely helpful! Thank you! Your vibes are comforting because I can see bits of my habits reflected in the way you think and talk. You’re doing great body double buddy!
Have to clean entire apartment for inspection tomorrow.. Did a lot of work the past few days, but after such extreme burnout it's BAD. Even the time pressure isn't helping.. so hoping this does.
35 mins in.. feeling a bit woozy, so break time.
Little one woke up.. now 12am... jumping right back into the kitchen.
Oh yea.. Us ND folk have this special skill of spotting other ND folk a mile away lmao...
This video helped me get out of bed (I woke up earlier than usual but also, it's been a rough week), eat breakfast, take my meds, empty the dishwasher, do some dishes (which I hate, just got a ScrubDaddy sponge to smile at me tho), charge/update some electronics (pro tip: I made myself a weekly checklist cuz I always forget otherwise), water my very thirsty plants (oops, forgot them for a month 😅), and I got started on assembling some new Ikea boxes to organize my mess. Thank youuu 💖
Thank you for this! I was kinda stuck in bed all day and your video helped me clean a good part of my room, make my bed and put way my trash so ty! I was talking back when you were talking and I forgot you werent listening lol but it was so fun!
Can’t get over the amount of times I’ve searched up your channel in the mornings just to get my day going and to keep me motivated- truly truly thankyou so so much I love the uncut videos real time , you’re so genuine you put me in such a great ass mood 🥺🫶🏼 will forever keep coming back to these as they truly help a fellow ADHD girly so so much 🥰🥰
Thanks, my first time trying body doubling. I mopped the bathroom and tile floor and cleaned out old suitcases.
Today (9’o clock at night) I am cleaning my room because it needs tidying and it has gotten to the point where it is driving me a tiny bit insane :) I was going to have a nice early night but when motivation strikes
Thank you so much for sharing this video and also for talking the whole way through. This was exactly what I was looking for. It felt like I was listening to a friend speak, and getting the cultural references (example phoebes song smelly cat) was awesome
Thank you so much for this video!! Body Doubling is one of the only ways I can get tasks done efficiently so thank you for this video! 🥰
Thank you!!! I have to move in 4 days and I’m nowhere near ready. I don’t want to, so my brain won’t let me. But!!! I’ve gotten so much done with this video playing. Thank you!!!!
We are the same person this was so helpful to get me to start cleaning, cuz I have the same inner monologue as you and it was so nice to hear someone be similar to me because it makes me see it's not a bad thing ya know??🎉 thanks man , adhd is tough
So grateful for this video today. My depression has kept me in bed for days and this got me out
This is amazing! Thanku so much I so need more off these ☺️😄x
Thank you so so much for doing this. Really helped me out ❤
I put clean dishes away, fed the cats, and started on a few other tasks. Thank you.
Thanks so much. Adhd&depression here, after a break up. Its almost inposible today to clean up, but would be much worse if i didnt do it. Im starting with u
(sorry for my english, im from poland)
Idk but this video is getting my adhd ass off the bed and me doing something productive🤠
Oh yeaa😎🫶🏼
Ay me too! Im proud of us🤠
I’m not really paying attention your video, but I’ve got my record player going, you chatting in the background, and the ability to actually do something, so thank you!!!!!
I like the talking its like having a friend over. Thank you
THANK YOU! Your video has helped me so much!
You sound almost exactly like me with the ocd and grandma being sick😔, we even put our hair up at the same time and I didn't even know you were going to to it too😂. Thank you so much for making these videos and please don't excuse the way you look, you look perfectly fine!
thank you soooo much. I've been struggling for 2 weeks. now I got a few things done 😊💖
You're amazing. Thank you for your help. ❤
Lmbo. I got up on the second go of you pushing us out of bed. First time I was too busy watching the video to move. Second time I was like ok…. I got this. I love her. 😂❤
Needed a body double to finally clean my daughter's room. Thank you for the help!
I finally moved the dresser that my parents brought literally five months ago that I hadn’t put in the house so from my porch to the kitchen like in December and it’s been living there empty till today when I moved it into my bedroom after vacuuming the floor like I said I would so I’m happy now to clean it out and put my clothes inside yay
I love this your literally so me
This totally helped! I washed most of my dishes (looking at one mug I missed) and made some nice tea and took my vitamins had some water and quickly cleaned the toilet (didn’t finish) … but it took me a long time to get up. So I think I only focused for like 35 minutes out of this video. Oh & I planted some mint in a pot. 🌿
Omg u got a lot of stuff done im proud of you🩷
Regarding your philosophical question (which is definitely philosophical) regarding what is an impulse and is there a thought behind it, it's a very beautiful and profound question tbh. I think you might find some food for thoughts on this topic in work of Wittgenstein, for example in his short notes collection called "Zettel". He explores a lot the question of intent, meaning and implying. He also asks himself questions regarding "where exactly inside of him" those impulses and intents happen and weather they are a states of being or something else. I think you'd enjoy it :) the short notes are very ADHD friendly for me, because I can have them like little snacks, instead of needing to go through long slow chapters. Those notes are literally few lines long. But they raise many interesting questions.
Ooh im gonna add that to my reading list, thanks for this comment i love it sm🥹
@@adhdbaddie you're welcome, always happy to share stuff :)
Tbh at 26.32 within that time frame I've collected laundry into laundry basket organise by colours for wash and I'm now doing the sweeping although my main goal is the folding of laundry 😅 so hopefully get that done 🤞🤞 also really appreciate this body double content it's super helpful ❤
Literally at 56.50 I feckn finished folding and putting away laundry that ive been overwhelmed to do for frickn days ya are Literal angel thank yous so much ❤ I wish you everything good goes ya way seriously 🎉
O m g well done, sending u an internet high 5 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I just wanna say I really loved this video, I have used the video you talked about from Peach so many times and it was truly therapeutic. I was actually looking for a similar video when I came across the video you just uploaded - perfect timing! Also your chaotic energy in this video was such a nice change after being around neurotypicals who judged me. And yes girl, adhd radar is a true thing, that sense of humour is very specific but almost always related to adhd, same with the gaydar😂🏳️🌈 anyway I managed to clean my closet, clear out my trash and fold and put away my laundry so thank you for this gem of a video. I have subscribed in case you might do a similar video one day. Sending positive vibes to you and your adorable cat💛✨
Also you forgot to link your insta girl x real adhd move there😂 I relate
Aw i love this comment and HAHAH not me thinking i was chill in this video but it still coming across like chaotic energy🤣🤣 and YESS im glad u understand what i meant with the “adhd humour”. THANK UUU💛💛
Oh and still forgot to add my insta had to come back this comment but its done now 😂
@@adhdbaddie Not to call us both out, but adhd'ers being calm is like a whole different level, tbh I like adhd'ers more and your chaotic energy is *chefs kiss* 🤌You truly seem like an amazing person to be around and I hope everyone is your surroundings is aware of that 💛 Keep up the great work angel!
I just got the energy and motivation to clean my 💩 kitchen. It’s so dirty there. No dishes left, and I can’t make food, because everything is covered in plates I ate out of over a week ago.
Also. Hope I can begin cleaning my pile of clothes … I have too many, and it’s covering my floor.
No. I haven’t been in the right mindset lately. Burnt out, and too much to do 😂
Everyday is a bad executive functioning day for me. I can't seem to break the cycle.
Could you please make more body doubling videos? They’re rlly helpful
I wanna kitty to pick up an snorgle too!!!
They r the best
I need to clean my room cuz it’s been cluttered for MONTHS!!! So I need to speak it today before I stream some art XD
Not me cleaning my closet (doom dump has been growing for 4 almost 5 months😅 it looks like a hoarders special 😂) and having a hold conversation like she is here with me 😂😂😂 but I made progress so yaaay🎉🎉
you give me “peach” vibes 🩷
I'm cleaning my depression room. It looks like an episode of hoarders in here. I wish I could share pictures of how bad it looks. I have family coming over next week so I have no choice but to make it look liveable
U got this 🫶🏼🫶🏼 im proud of you for pushing yourself to do it!
I am eating beans! That's pretty much it.
By the way, coffee can make you more tired with adhd, I think it’s some chemical thing in our brains, I know for me if it’s in the morning I’ll just get anxious but if it’s in the afternoon or at night I will fall asleep. It almost never wakes me up. Just some info in case you want to know.
Hello I come here because I have a new clomipramine treatment but I have a lot of side effects so as I saw your video about it I wanted to know if you were still taking it? Have you noticed any lack of motivation? Lack of energy ?
Thank you that would help me a lot to know if this is normal or not
Hi, definitely i noticed that a lot in the first few weeks and it slowed down after like a month but was still there. I take my adhd meds now aswell and they help to combat that tiredness or on other days coffee. But ive been on clomipramine for more than a year now and dont plan to come off it because the effect has had on my ocd is amazing
Thank you for your answer, it helps me a lot I had a lot of anxiety about this. Now I think all I need is to have patience before the improvements for my OCD!
Have a good day/night!
15:17 🖐️ me me lmao
I vibe with the Omori art in your room
Its actually my sister’s room its her fave game
Cam you please just post these now and then. I use them to clean. Pls pls
I got it from my dad an I gave it to my son. My house is very interesting 😂.
What age is your cat 🐈
Shes nearly 2 😝🐈
Pls don't put music is less stressful and more organic and natural without it
This feels like a distraction-& procrastination-enabling video…. But maybe it’s just me.
… read the comments most people found it helpful, if its not your thing don’t watch
Thank you so much for doing this video! You are very relatable and encouraging. I love your energy so so much! Honestly seeing you let loose without caring really helped me out. I've struggled my whole life with expressing myself and you've done wonders to help me. And i also really appreciated you being open to sharing ways in which you cope with the non-stop oncomming of thoughts. You gave some really good pointers that i will definately be taking into consideration! Although i am not diagnosed with ADHD, i struggle with very very similar symptoms. So thank you so much for bringing awareness to the everyday struggles of neurodiversity 😊🫶💖
Ahh this comment is so sweet, ur amazing im sending u so much love 🫶🏼🫶🏼
