A Day in the Life with ADHD

- I made this film as a simulation for people to understand what it can be like to live a day with ADHD. This is to battle the stigma behind it and the best way to do that is with understanding

"If you can focus on art you can focus right now."
no, i actually can't, Lauren.
ya for real like we have a thing called hyper foucs and its where we can fouces good for like 30 mins to 2 hours on smothing we like so no if i did art allready than i can focus on your stupid voice go on and on ab math!!!!!
I know right!! I’m good at art, I draw everyday, I plan on going to an art college and yet I still find it hard to finish my project that involve. Art means the world to me, and I can’t even focus on that!!
I have hemmerhoids
@@TheFartGod69 "Actually Meghan, I cant sit anywhere."
PLEASE I HAVE A KID IN MY CLASS WHO SAYS THIS WHEN SHES TRYING TO TALK AND IM HYPERFOCUS
The second I realize that I’m actually focusing I can’t focus anymore
I'm not sure whether I have ADHD or not but this...this happens with me a LOT.
True 😂😂
I didn't even watch the video, I got distracted on reading the comments it even took me awhile just to type my comment bcoz I forgot about it lol xD
Think this happens to everyone
Omggg sqme
this looping phrase is illegally relatable its almost creepy how accurate it is
and also the "i'm trying" "no, you're not!" is stuck with me for years by this time
this film is a masterpiece
and im happy that i have never had such toxic friends who shamed me about being innatentive
Honestly, I think I don't have an internal monologue because of this, I think it broke and disappeared early on.
I remember desperately trying to get the thoughts to stop so much, then it just did.
I don't think with words now but abstract imagery.
But you can't bring up the fact you have adhd because then it's an excuse...
Yeah I just start laughing maniacally when they showed that because it’s so relatable
@@Kem1sk yeeeaaah i LOVE that bs 🤩🤩
why do mentally healthy people think that i deliberately am always late always impulsive and hot-headed and unable to keep my own house clean and my wallet full do they think adhd is an advantage?? cuz of what? feeling unique? i really want to NOT be unique and be like everyone else istg i would give away my leg if it could make me neurotypical
The part with the mother made me tear up, the “I’m trying!” followed by “no, no you’re not” hit me so hard. People just don’t understand how hard it really is, and we can’t help it. Love this video
my parents literally dont understand.
i asked my dad to see if he thought i had adhd (even tho i infact have it)
and guess what he said?
“no, you’re fine. you’re smart”
ik im smart! how can you not understand adhd… :(
@@rainbowunicorngirl2187 it makes me so sad that so many people go undiagnosed simply because they are smart or perform well in school, it literally happens so often I'm sorry for you :(
@@thenoisytown you’re ok. i still cannot understand why my dad doesn’t think i have adhd just because i perform excellently in school.
@@rainbowunicorngirl2187 yeah it’s so weird how that has become such a common occurrence, I really hope you get the help you deserve🙏🙏
@@thenoisytown awww tysm!
Girl: Is literally talking on the phone in class
Teacher: That tall kid saying nothing is getting on my nerves
I kind of relate to this man in that sense (also I have adhd so of course it’s relatable.
Right?! Its almost like the teachers know somethings off with you so they call on you or something
Simps ofc
@@grass5697 when the teacher simping 😔
Your eyes seem to bit off - center on what im trying to draw on whiteboard , you seem SUS! EXPELLED
anyone else forget that the mom asked him to get milk
edit: can we all just take a moment here to realise that the video is 6 mins long....
..it took us 6 mins to forget about one piece of information..
do with that what you will.
Wait she actually did??????? -replays it- omFG SHE DID
😂oh shit!
you call me out like this, in my home, on this day of all days??
DONT CALL ME OUT 😳😳
Wait she asked him to get milk? Lmfao..
Worst thing about ADHD is not only the less concentration and focus, but the fact, that you sometimes don't even notice it, but the others do and scold you for it. As someone who has ADHD I almost cried during this video.
Happens to me alot and it sucks ass
Been undiagnosed for 17 years, getting to talk to someone AFTER I'm almost graduated high school. I hate trying to talk to anyone and trying to clean is hard. Im constantly reminded that i don't do things. I really hope there's something I can look forward to
As a girl with ADHD, this is the most accurate video I've ever seen about it. The """""teleporting""""", the looping and the sounds repeating before going to sleep is so real.
I swear, if anyone asks me how it feels to have to deal with ADHD for a literal lifetime, I'll show them this video.
same, i just clicked thinking that maybe all I ever experience everyday is in fact ADHD.
JESUS loves you! Come to Him to experience indescribable peace, and the infinite love He has for you!

The visual is inaccurate i take vyvanse and teleporting is never seen for me but I do have ear ringing
@@FluffyPegasus505i dont have earringing, but i just dont hear it, its a wuss
I liek teleporting
god the part where he gets frustrated after his mom says hes not trying....... kinda felt that a lil too much........ ouch :(
It's the most frustrating thing when people say I'm not trying... it's not like i can give 100% focus on something because there's more than one thing in the world.
Sums up my parents and my childhood right there.
I have ADHD myself and this is something at least someone says everyday,Its not too much if you Expirience it Everyday,But it makes me Mad
I'm 10
@@celavetex right. i know how u feel, having adhd is a nightmare , especially when trying to explain how hard it is to focus on certain things and such. trying to explain you ARE trying hard, its just very complicated to stay focussed but still getting the same interruptions of ur parents saying “but you arent trying hard enough” sucks. im sorry you have to go through that man :( good luck bro.
My mother saying I do anything for get out of my anxiety I got out and I'm to much better right now, she was so fake, all the money she bring was from sugar daddies and also telling my sisters and me we don't have empathy for her...just c:
god the “stop fidgeting and listen to me!” “it’s not hard, you’re just not trying hard enough” PAIN
MY STEPMOM SAYS THIS!!
People haut don't realize that we are trying as hard as we can and it sometimes can be mentally and emotionally draining
EVERY FUCKING DAY
@@kpro_1188 yeah my boyfriend has ADHD & I’m doing my best to look into what it’s like for him. It’s difficult and this video makes me want to cry. I would hate to be the one to be saying all that stuff to him like they are in this video.
@@loversick3377 Awe 🥺 that's sweet, I know he'll be really happy with you 💜
My mom has ADHD too so she understands how hard it is for me to focus so I've never heard her say "stop fidgeting" or "just focus" or any of that. I genuinely love my mom and will continuously do so with the biggest smile in a while and hope it stays that way.
fidgeting is annoying af, you should learn not to fidget at least in public

@@fantomas1770basically what you are saying is: being paralyzed doesnt mean you cant play with me for just one time
@@jannemieknugteren3139 i'm saying stop fidgeting cuz it's annoying af and you will get told to stop anyway
Lucky you! My 2 brothers (23y/o and 15y/o) have ADHD and I'm (21y/o girl) still trying to get diagnosed, but I'm certain I have it. I'm also certain my Dad (63y/o) has it, but he's completely unaware and keeps blaming my Mum's genes. He's incredibly hard to talk to about these types of things, doesn't have good knowledge about it, and isn't open minded in the slightest way, which makes it even harder to cope. It really surprises me how he can be so unaware of his OWN self and how he hasn't realised, all these years, that he is slightly different to other people. Did he never notice the barriers/struggles at school? At work? At home? I don't know how he hasn't picked up on it. And worst of all, he has ZERO empathy for us when we just CAN'T help but being the way we are. Forgetful, distracted, etc. Honestly, consider yourself extremely lucky!!
I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder 18 years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the
same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the
morning after. So no hangovers. No
depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now
have a more calm mind
How can i find him? Is he on Instagram
you know when you just zone out and then be like ”wait wtf happend”
Yeah. To me its like im thinking of something else insted of what's around me, and when the teacher is talking all I hear is muffled talking. And then right after I don't remember anything that just happened.
BTW I don't have ADHD but I still zone out.
ADHD sucks man, for me the worst moments are when I'm walking and my brain just goes "hmm who created God?" And started thinking about random crap and I'd go "wait a minute where am i? " or "wait I'm not supposed to go this way!", these happens a lot to me. Or that time when your parents ask you to but something like "buy A, B, and C" and you completely forgot about C and your parents will start yelling at you.
Riff Mcdude yeah same
Yup but learned how to control it so I only zone out sometimes while doing inportant tasks,it get Easter after a while its just a process. But to be honest sometimes I wish someone around me understood me at all.the only one who truly gets how hard I work is God cuase without him I'd be inane and in a mental hospital with a nervous breakdown.🐞
I hate it when it happens and I'm having a really deep conversation with someone and I keep getting distracted and in afraid they think im not interested
"Im trying!"
"No, no you aren't."
bruh wtf does that hit me so hard
my mom says it to me all the time, I think she forgets how it affects me mentally and physically. but yeah it does hit you hard bro
I had a 3-5 month stretch where I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning like I physically couldn’t because of executive disfunction and my mom would just lecture and yell at me from the door frame for 30 minutes until I got so upset my need to get away overpowered my executive disfunction
heard that in middle school all the time
Yup my mother says stuff like that to me all the time
@@edgy_skeleton2760 my mother and father both have adhd so i dont have to experience this thankfully
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes, he is dr.porassss
I’m so glad they included the way moments we see/ sentences we hear get repeated for seemingly no reason. Like how he saw the red car pass by then the clip kept replaying and when the teacher said “if you can focus” it just kept replaying over what the teacher was actually saying at the time
I never have that happen, but I always get lost thinking ab stuff.
ugh i was always told i had “selective hearing” when i forgot things like grabbing the milk
Same here
I get told that all the time, I be like “I forgot!” Like it doesn’t matter anymore bc they are used to it.
i fucking HATE when people say that to me
YES
it's not my fault I only remember things I hyper focus on. "how come you can remember all that stuff about those tv shows but not when I tell you something. you dont wanna listen to me!?!?"
the irony of adhd is barely being able to watch this video because your mind already needs to do something else
As much as I hate to admit it. The video made me cry, then I started thinking if sending it to my parents, then having an internal conversation with myself about why I should and then why I shouldn't, then I started hearing ringing, birds chirping, cars going by, doors slamming and so many things. 😐
Within the time watching this I’ve thought of 8 videos I’ve watched when I was younger.
Yesssssssssss
Ikr
Yea. Exactly. This video is actually scaring me with the accuracy. The jumbled clips repeated in the video to showcase the main character’s distractions actually started popping up in my own head and distracting me from the video.
The whole “I’m trying” and “you’re not” part made me cry because this is how my parents are with me. I just wish they’d be patient with me, give me a break, and stop getting angry at me for the way I am. 😢
I hate when people say “try” and I say “I am” and they say “no you’re not” LIKE LINDA HOW TF DO YOU KNOW
Teacher said I wasn't trying
If anybody says im not trying HOLD MY ORANGE JUICE IM GONNA BEAT A HOE
My BFF always tell me to try and that I just need to have the discipline and I’m like BRO I’m FUCKING TRYING
My mom will always tell me don't try just do and I get so confused like WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!
AND IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN THEY USE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE FIDGETING AS PROOF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND THEN THEY MAKE YOU BE STILL BUT IT TAKES EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO BE STILL SO FUCK BEING ABLE TO HEAR OR UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ANYONE IS TELLING YOU NOW.
- I'm trying!
- No, you're not!
I was about to cry at this moment.
Same
Same

I cant with my adhd i hate it
I do not have ADHD, however, it did sort of help me understand how my partner, who does have ADHD feels and experiences.. So, thank you a lot for this! I'll remember to be patient with my honey.
Edit; sorry guys he broke up with me 😔
hey bro are you still with her

It's such a hell way to live. You're always falling behind even though you're always working harder than anyone else JUST to function.
Me having Adhd watchig this
My brain: double adhd
I felt the exact same way just now.
ADHD 2.0
ADHD^2
I felt this lol
100% felt this lmao
THE THING WITH THE EYES WHEN THEY GO OUT OF FOCUS AND UR BRAIN TUNES OUT
Sometimes in the middle of conversation it will happen and I try to get back to reality and it’s tough, it almost feels like I become an actor in my own life to feel normal
YES!!!! that’s the perfect way to show it but for me it gets all fuzzy and I get this numbing?? Feeling it kinda feels like how it was shown when the mom was talking to her son
DAYDREAMING
Yeah although i don't have ADHD it still happens
@@adav222 YESS
This man is a legend for making all of this apparent to others. Keep up the good work man.
As someone with ADHD, this really speaks to me. It's a good way to show how ADHD works. I might show this to people who I know don't quite understand it. Thank you so much.
God, the ringing is so true. If there’s no sounds, my brain fills in the gaps and makes sounds. It’ll either be chatter, something that happened earlier, or the ringing.
I'm so glad I have music 24/7 instead of the ringing. I feel bad for people who struggle with that.
Its worse when ur home alone cuz then u start hearing doors closing🙃
@@xrockangelx same here
edit: i’ve been paying more attention and my ears do ring lmao
@@sneakyturtle2346 that's scary
Haha yeah, whenever I'm in the shower (or even when I'm not) my brain likes to trick me into thinking someone is knocking on the front door, and sometimes it'll just straight up play my ringtone and so I always think my phone is ringing
"You dont have ADHD your just lazy"
"ADHD isnt an excuse"
thats what i hear from people....
XxAlaynaxX fr
I’ve been called Lazy because of ADHD so many times that eventually I just give up on trying to convince them I’m not.
I hate when peoole say "your useing it as an excuse"
I get called stupid a lot by my friends as a joke because of my grades and I said “I have ADD, I struggle to concentrate, you know that” and I got really sad because I just wanna be able to concentrate and to stop daydreaming all the time and to feel normal and they just told me “i have ADHD, it’s not that hard” It kind of hurt me because they got through the same thing but they still told me it’s not an excuse. Like, y’all know I can’t control it, what do you expect. You know what I mean? Sorry if me venting is kind of stupid 😞
@@shara1034 literally
God, why is this so relatable? I know I was diagnosed with ADHD but I thought the buzzing in the ears was only me. Plus everyone was trying to get you to focus with no prevail, everybody tells you to focus while you can't do it. I love this video as it brings light to a pretty unknown part of ADHD. Plus the timeskips... For any parent with a child that has ADHD please try to treat them right.
Man that sucks. I thought I had ADHD but fortunately, I was wrong. I don't have problems focusing on the moment but "Earlier events replaying in the mind" haunts me especially the embarrassing ones always replay in my mind whenever I try to sleep.
I understand this is a serious video, however I'm enjoying being tall
XD me! As a 5'2 guy right here!
it's scary
ikr
Fr. I'm like 5'6. This dude made me feel 6'5 in the video. Got nervous seeing the top of a door.

" need a hearing aid? "
" this isn't the first time you've forgotten"
" something interesting there?"
All too familiar...
Exactly the same 😂
Bir the Mothbat
“why are you just looking out the window like that”
“She sees demons!”
“You need to focus and stop looking at your paper like that”
“Do I need to send you out the classroom?”
I have 2020 hearing and cant hear shit
“Why are you staring at the wall?”
“What’s with the bouncing leg?”
And the all too familiar “I gave you one job, one.” You know where it’s going
I wish a hearing aid would help tbh😭 i just feel bad or i only understand what someones said when convos basically over
I love my older sister dearly, she was like a second mother to me. Even at a pretty young age, I was aware she was “different” but I didn’t care, I loved her and we had fun and that’s what mattered. I try my best to make her comfortable, but she always seems to happy when we hang out so I don’t think I need to do much to help her, as our friendship is enough :)
I still try to understand her, so that we can be the supportive figure in eachothers lives, that we never really got. I appreciate this short film? a lot! It brings awareness.
thank you. so much. this didnt just depict my life, but it gave me a way to show people what having it felt like. You are a blessing in disguise. Thank you again.
The scary part is the cuts in time. My life has flown by and continues to fly by. Days feel like minutes unless im bored or off my meds.
I agree I don't like it it makes me sad
I have adhd and you are right but i dont take meds my mom thinks its for the dest i lern how to handle it lol
ikr, sometimes i dont even know if the day is the same or a different day alot
and it happens alot where it feels like its been two seperate days when its just been the same or something /srs
@@nopenope3468 You can definitely learn ways to cope and add a healthy amount of structure to your life but for a lot of people, meds are really necessary for them to begin working on other ways of treatment. it often makes adhd much more manageable when you take meds that give your brain the right amount of dopamine so you can better regulate your attention and emotions. talk to your mom because if meds are what works best for you there shouldn’t be a level of shame around that.💕💕
@@nopenope3468 Brooke D is right. Our parents like to think they always know what’s best for us in order to raise us the best they can. They have to be super confident in order to do so. I am here to say that sometimes they do not always know what’s best for you. In some cases it truly makes sense to ask for help. No shame in that. Wish I could have learned that at a much younger age.
I can definitely relate to you. Hope this helps :D
For me, My ADHD can be summarized as...
“Shit, what was I doing?”
“Oh that’s right”
My mind sometimes randomly goes blank when I'm about to do something. I ask myself "Where am I?" and usually regain focus in a few seconds.
@@greatwavefan397 bro, that happens to me when I'm driving. I'll just be on the road and then think to myself, "I know where I am but how did i get here again? did i do every turn correctly??" (don't worry, I am a great driver and have yet to get into an accident)
Same, my mind goes blank and then I wonder, "why am I here again?"
@@t04st3d_cr4mb that's just normal for all people
@@runic6452 nah but that happens to me way too often, I know I have ADHD, got checked with a doctor, and boom. I have it :P
As person with this kind of problem you really made me tear at the end. thanks for showing to people some things they don't understanding even if they are your parents (Give them a break) that was break my heart. thanks again 😓
I have ADHD. I can agree, it's very hard. People get mad at you for things that you had forgotten and crap. They just don't understand.
As a person with adhd, watching this is like having it twice.
Edit: it also brings unpleasant memories of my parents calling me lazy, stupid, or deaf.
Honestly
Same

@@rainbowunicorngirl2187 get diagnosed first
disclaimer: ADHD does not make your hooping skills dirt nasty
This is underrated-
That's debatable
man :(
People with ADHD usually tend to do something they enjoy for a very long time because they need something to make them work physically and mentally. It helps them not fidget for a while.
with my adhd i actually suck at sports because i lose focus/get dizzy about all the things im thinking about and trying to exert physical energy.
Telling someone with ADHD to "just focus" is like telling someone who is paralyzed to "just move"
OOF felt that XD
i guess i mean thats an extreme comparison but yeah
@@rylierylierylie it's the same thing tho
@@vixymix101 i mean i have mild to severe adhd and if you yelled at me enough i could focus i think idrk to be honest thats just a hypothesis but if you yelled at a paralyzed person they could still never move
@@rylierylierylie yeah that's called manipulation-- and it doesn't last very long and leaves you with a very upsetting feeling. It doesn't actually work, it's just making someone upset.
I relate to this video so much. The distractions, the scolding, the anger from seeing the main character of the video going through the exact things I go through every day. Its so frustrating
I recognize this so much
I also have ADHD, sometimes it's difficult when people don't understand you, especially with that fidgeting and what's going on in your head sometimes, SO MANY different things😴😴
Thank you for this video❤
"I'm trying !"
"No, no you're not."
That one hit hard. It's so hard for me to remember things and register when someone is talking to me, and I really do try.
I have the same thing, i can remember like things that you learn at school in general normally by a combination of two problems i may have, but not anything else.
I can forget something i am doing or just did easily, and because of my probable ADHD/ aphantasia combination (aphantasia disabling people to remember things with one or more of the five senses ; and me having it "total" i guess) it would be less obvious because it would cancel a few effects; i got in trouble for it a few times now, and starting to think more and more about diagnostising when i can :/
Have a nice day !
same, my mom says she thinks I might have adhd(I think so too) but constantly puts me down when I say I'm tryin and displayin symptoms of adhd instead of tryin to make it easier for me especially bc we cant get a diagnosis bc we dont have the money

Telling someone with adhd to "just focus" is like telling a blind person to "just see" like it doesnt work-
More like telling someone having a seizure to just stop having a seizure. It’s purely involuntary
and telling someone who's deaf to "just listen" (the deaf person can read lips btw just not as good as others)

My 9 year old cousin has ADHD and all the family gets tired of him but I’m the only one that understands him so I am very patient with him.
Man... The part with his mom hurt. My mom has bi-polar depression, and she would get so upset and offended when I had trouble focusing in day to day life. The day I mentioned maybe it's related to the chance I might have ADHD, she wouldn't accept it as a possibility and said "you had no symptoms when you were younger, there's no way you have it now" (I was about 24 years old 9 years ago).

Mine just goes, “concentrate, concentrate, concentrate.” Then I end up asking them to repeat what they said.
I’m sorry I laughed hard at this. Its so true though. You get so annoyed too and you try and focus even harder which doesn’t help because now you’re thinking about focusing. Next thing you know 5 minutes have passed with the person talking and you’re still stuck on “can you do that can you do that can you do that can you do that” as well as “c’mon brain focus c’mon brain focus c’mon brain focus”
The cuts in time are honestly relatable sometimes I'm just walking to school and most of the time I go to my friends house to wait for her so when I was walking I guess I kinda dozed off if that's what you call it and suddenly I'm standing in front of my friends door waiting for her to come out and if I'm being honest this video is relatable in everyway and how my mind is always all over the place and how its so hard to focus
My mother,my father,me,my brother,uncle,cousin,grandma all have ADD or ADHD so I never really heard from my family that I’m “lazy” or “no you’re not”, “try to concentrate”. I was diagnosed to a very young age (less then 5 year old”
“Just listen”
“Your not trying”
“Foucus”
“Remember”
Yea nice try, it’s not that easy.
Don’t forget “stop staring off” and “u have to do the work even if u don’t like it! U can’t just “forget” about it or ignore it!”
i always compulsively bite my nails/lips and my dad scolds me for it. it’s gotten better but still, it’s so hard not to fidget.
my mama keeps telling me that I have to at least try but I am, it's just hard. don't want to fight all the time
exactly. btw nice fuyuhiko pfp
its annoying to hear that. Im not trying to forget, or to not focus on purpose (I am running on 1 brain cell rn so i cant spell) Im trying my best but because you dont have it doesnt mean you get to yell at me that its not hard to live with it. You dont even know what its like to have it so you have no place to say that is not hard
4:23
“I’m trying”
“No,no you’re not”
That shit hit me hard
"No you're not".... Easy to say by people without that Problem.
Oh lord. I was ALWAYS being told what I was & wasn't thinking/doing/feeling. I was so sick of being gaslit all the time!!! The big one for me was "You CAN, you just don't WANT to." Like no bitch can't means can't. I did my absolute best and it didn't work, if that's not good enough, then ?????????
Or the classic “that’s not an excuse”
I have ADHD myself and this is actually pretty accurate.
The last bit in the dark is how my mind takes over at night replaying everything, over analysing everything. I dont have ADHD (my son does) but i have anxiety and depression.
What many neurotypical people also don't understand is that the fidgeting actually helps us focus. So if they tell you to "just sit still" they're actually making it more difficult to concentrate
true
EXACTLY. I draw a lot even if its just a bunch of doodles all over the page, cause it helps me to pay attention on what the teacher is saying. especially if its a theoretical kind of class. she's always telling us to put our pens down and pay attention and im like......
i just dont say anything cause everytime i forget to tell her, and dont wanna say it in front of the class lol
@@TheRadioactiveBanana32 that's the same Banana picture in my pfp
Me too
Sad part is that the opposite is true for them, what allows you to focus makes THEM lose focus. It feels like there's no compromise to be made
"Just try"
"I am"
"No you're not"
OMG TYSM LITERALLY MY MOM SAYS THIS EVERY DAY
My mom was talking to me yesterday about it (gonna maybe get diagnosed soon) and I was trying to explain cuz it felt like she didn’t believe me and when I went back to my room guess who was fighting tears over what in hindsight was something small
I tell her that it’s hard for me to get myself in motion for a lot of stuff. Homework, my hobbies, anything. She’s like “well a pill won’t help” like mother it’s designed to help what do you mean it won’t help
Edit: forgot to add she’s understanding and kind about it at least which is more than some people get sadly
@@SketchUT DON'T TAKE THE MEDICINE!!! IT WILL COMPLETELY CHANGE YOUR PERSONALITY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A GHOST AND CAUSE LIFE LONG SIDE EFFECTS
@@Ethan20543 If I get diagnosed and IF I get medication prescribed I’m going to take it as long as I’m told :P
Idk if i have adhd, i will get a check up next week.
But what his mom says is so relatable to me, my mom always say i'm not taking things serious, and she would always say i'm just being dramatic
This is very relatable, I've always been told I haven't been trying, yelled at when I don't do or understand something even though I never wanted to make people mad and was doing things normally.
Forgetting the milk scene was probably the most relatable thing I have ever seen
- forgetfulness
- easily distracted
- constant daydreaming
- mind stuck on a catchy tune
- fidgeting/restlessness
- poor sense of time
- anxiety
- constantly awake at night deep in thoughts, replaying stressful episodes
yeah this is me, this sums up my life perfectly
@@theangstygayhouse i have adhd and this was accurate asf but is asd like this too or are there any differences?
I don’t have adhd but this applies to me sometimes in my daily life I’m austic though I can’t spell 😓 autistic
I have ADD and this sums up my life perfectly
@@theangstygayhousei have to deal with both ASD and ADHD😢
Yes
Anybody else have the “if you can focus for the next half hour” stuck in their head?
Nah I forgot the teacher even said that till the end of the video, where they replayed the sounds
yes
I wonder what the teacher said after that ._,
Kinda wanna know lmao
I like your username
i've got the tree leaves rustling
I'm diagnosed with adhd along with a few other things, and this video is dead on. The school scene hit home or me. all grades up until 11 i couldn't sit still or focus. I've worked on bettering myself, have even stopped taking meds but its still difficult staying in control and not losing "focus" and I love how this video is a voice for so many in the same situation, It shows none of us are alone.
This Is actually very accurate, I mean, not 100% like it is for me, but that's expected because it differs case by case.
Very well done, captured something that is sometimes considered difficult to portray or understand.
“Your not trying”
“Your so lazy”
“Can’t you remember one thing?”
“Why are you so lazy?”
“You have stupid excuses”
“I hate you”
“Why are you so disappointing?”
“Just pay attention”
“Well it’s not my fault you can’t listen”
“JUST LISTEN.”
I hate it when my mom says these things.
Don't forget the "No, you just don't care"
That's verbal and emotional abuse.
And ableist language.
Unfortunately a lot of parenting is not good parenting especially with that kind of language and it's disappointing that most see that as acceptable behaviour or the or typical thing to do when it's not the right way to handle things.
I deal with this everyday 😐
:,(((((((
@@ninadoesstuff7884 that one hurts :'((
I hate getting yelled at for forgetting. At the end of the day it is my fault but at the same time I can’t help it. It’s so frustrating
not really your fault
This is me everyday, and my parents also do that!!
Man I relate, I try so hard to study sometimes but I just cant focus
Same. I don't have adhd though. Just a crappy memory.
@@thisismyaltyaccount5727 me too..
i actually ended this video in tears because of how scarily accurate this actually is. the "repeating" thing is extremely accurate, and so is the random flashbacks and loss of focus. it especially hit hard when the mother said "you're not trying"... it can be really hard for people with ADHD...and i hope everyone that reads this that has ADHD like me will succeed in whatever they want to succeed in. i know you guys can achieve your goals. i've done it, i know you guys can too... ❤
This is extremely accurate, I myself have both autism and ADHD and the spacing out is spot on, repeated phrased from when people were upset with me (which doesnt help when depression is in the mix) and just this whole experience, very accurate to the real thing very well done!
When she kept telling him to stop fidgeting, I really felt ANGER for a moment. The most frustrating thing in the world is being forced to stay still, as if that helps with focusing. Neurotypical people would never understand, I don't think.
Elmo is always moving😋
E x a c t l y !
I always thought it was ironic they have such a problem with fidgeting and stims. Like, bitch, how about *you* look at *me* and stop focusing on my hands aye?
People just have zero self-awareness sometimes.
same here, i got so mad watching that
They used to tell me that too. Like I can't pay attention unless some other part of my body is distracted by doing something else. That's why I have a fidget cube
Do you ever just read a book and start thinking about other things but you’re still reading at the same time ?
Edit: I don’t have adhd, just thought this was something relatable
Once O read a norwegian book because I'm from Norway I was thinking about arrowverse and mcu stuff while reading!
cam0bam then u gotta keep re-reading it cuz even tho u read the page it like didn’t go in
This is why I haven‘t never readen a book in my life
Then you keep reading but don’t remember but you want to read that paragraph again but you’re already read it so you don’t want to then you close the book.
@@jackhennessy1645 And then you have a feeling of deja vu while re reading the whole page, but you don't remember so you have to re read it anyways
This short film is EXACTLY what I am like, I've only just learned over the past few years that I have ADHD (amongst other illnesses) and i'm doing my best to come to terms with it.
Wow, that's a great representation of what it looks like and feels like. That's the first video I found that shows the visual focusing problem and the anger of being falsely accused of not trying.
this is so accurate. especially the way having like 5 thoughts at once is portrayed with squares on the screen. everything runs through your head so fast that it all feels muted and foggy
Right?! Ugh
Yess
when i’m trying to concentrate sitting still all i can think about is moving
When i am sitting: i can understand the words, but my mind can’t focus on their debate.
Does your brain ever turn on ‘sleep mode’ when you’re doing something and you rarely blink without perceiving reality
“just stop fiddling and listen to me”
that honestly almost made me cry omgg
I HATE it when people say that to me
do u have adhd?
Ryan St. John yeah
Alondra Rojas i respect you also cried i have adhd and i here that all the time i sucks🙏
I'm so happy to find people to relate too 💕
This is so accurate i got chills... didn't expect
Also, I dont think someone without ADHD can understand very well some of the representations in this video, like the blur and the noise representing the lack of focus, and the memories representing how you keep focusing on the first thing you saw.
I remember seeing this video and thinking how relatable it is, two days ago I finally get my diagnose of ADHD, thanks for representing this so well.
That last part when u cant sleep cause of every distraction that bother you at the end of the day and ur bother by it causing you to suffer from insomnia dam...this is just too accurate...
TwT to true
True. I couldn't fucking sleep bc I kept daydreaming and I just felt restless.
I haven't slept till 2 3 or 4 the last few days
It used to be such a problem for me especially since I open a restaurant early in the mornings, now I take those Z-Quill vitamins and I'm out in like 30 minutes
it's so hard to sleep from my adhd, I take medicine to sleep but at the end of the day it just comes down to my adhd
I hate when People without ADHD especially parents and teachers tell me I’m not trying or I need to focus or i need to Focus on them or I should stop fiddling around like I’m doing it on purpose like I’m not it just helps me concentrate I can be fiddling with something and listen to you at the same time
I TELL THAT TO PEOPLE ALL THE TIME
They will never understand us 😔
Teachers piss me off the most
I have moslty the hyperactive part of adhd the fiddling a lot... teachers get mad over me fidgeting with stuff all the tyme
i have adhd and unfortunately i'm dyslexic too so i didn't understand shit about what i just read
when the professor said "if you can focus " it repeated in head 100 times n just after that its repeated in the video too oh man this so real
I love this type of videos, i was diagnosed about two monts ago with ADHD, and my god having ADHD is truly a struggle. My mom often makes me feel bad about it, and I know its hard from their point of view but I also wished they could understand our situation. ADHD feels like getting called out for everything and I dont even know how to put it on words but it´s a nighmare!, lately ive noticed that my self steem is low and mainly because of that I just feel like everyone has to say a bad thing about me when Im really trying my best.Also neurotypicals minimizing ADHD saying that everyone has it or a least a bit of it. When that is not the reality, I wish I had their privileges and didnt had SUCH bad time management , didnt procastinate even the most simple task, could focus more easily, hold a normal conversation with someone and make eye contact at the same time, or didnt multitask that at the end of the day means that i didnt do any of them, didnt, being so forgetful and finding myself interrumpting people. In the other hand, i dont think ADHD is necessarily a bad thing, i belive its more of a neutral kind,, but in a neurotypical world we often feel like shit.
Me: having a good day
Adhd: Hey remember when That guy insulted you.
I have ADHD aswell and it's like I can never stop thinking about what people say to me even if it's not an insult I overthink it
true hard to forget what people say
@@jadem8422 I constantly think of previous conversations where things didnt go well:/
This comment just reminded me of that one thing I always think of
BROOO SAMEE
I find that whenever I am explaining a story, I tend to stutter quite a lot and end up getting into about 3 or 4 other conversations entirely, and then I forget what I was going to say.
Harv And Han MEEEEE, I tell a bunch of mini somewhat related stories in between the actual story and people get so annoyed because I take like an hour to tell ONE story
That is the same thing that happens to me
My cousin tells me stories and she seems pretty focused about them no stutter at all, well sometimes she has adhd also
Harv And Han same
OMG! It happens to me almost all the time.
As someone who is ADHD this is the most accurate video I ever seen. It took me 4 time to re watch this video again, cause I can't force myself to focus it after all, while I just kept the video playing then I go walk around maybe look outside the window, maybe close the video, and go do something else. Or maybe I thinking about something else in mind, and then I forgot which part of the video I watching right now. And then restart the video to watch it again.
Holy crap this is so relatable and nobody understands unless they have it :/
Although I don't have that time skipping thing (or at least its not that present, maybe happened some times), it is so difficult to focus on something or on what people are saying and it becomes really weird to tell them that you "didnt hear them properly" when you looked straight at them the whole time. Its like you dont understand the words... A great video right here!
Does anybody else’s with ADHD try to focus on being focus and then forget about what they were focusing on edit: wow this is the most likes I’ve ever got on a comment this is amazing that so many of us are going through the same exact thing😂

The “you’re not trying” cuts like a knife other favorites include
“you’re just making excuses”
and “if you actually cared it wouldn’t be so hard”
God ive herd those phrases so many time
Or “you’re just being lazy.”
Why Is This Relatable…
@@Life-uu5yo came here to say this one! I was called lazy forever by my parents.
Yes... true :(
I’m a 14 year old boy who has ADHD and I feel this boy in the video. I forget things I can’t sleep and generally I have a rough times with ADHD and I had to deal with depression and Anxiety. But now I’m better.❤
This is basically 1 to 1 with my experience with adhd, its really nice since sometimes I feel like I don't really have it and just not trying hard enough to do things and focus
I have never been able to explain how my brain can have multiple noises playing in short loops on repeat to the point where I start crying because I wish it would just *stop* for a minute. This video captures it perfectly.
+ music playing in the background in your head
@Dangmanchillitsjustatroll Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It can be very tiring at times.
@@ihwa1243 that happens to me all the time. 😭
it’s so bad when i hear a noise that makes me twitch and it keeps replaying in my head and i keep twitching
@@Nina-dk1sb Especially when you want to fall asleep and your mind picks the most upbeat songs to play
"Im trying"
"No. No you're not"
this part hurts. because it's so true that nobody else can see how hard you're trying so they don't believe you are. it hurts when you try your very best but people only seem to notice your shortcomings.
Lauren please calm down that’s my father... people say I’m careless but I try so hard to not be and I forget so much but I try my hardest...
I felt that. ._.
My stepdad
that's me, i'm all like "i'm trying" but no one believes
i read this at the exact same time of the video
That is so much relatable
The replaying events, the daydreams, and the fidgeting. So relatable.
Oh my god, I'm tearing right now, this is the summary of my life, I had never seen something so accurate.
