I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG😭 I just recently been diagnosed with adhd (about 2 months ago) and im 18 almost 19. Everyone kept telling me that I was just lazy and didn’t do enough, that I had so much potential but just wasn’t trying enough. That I was stupid and wouldn’t do much in my life if I continued down this path. I kept procrastinating even though people would tell me all of this, and I kept beating myself up to it because I knew that I was ruining my life by doing it, but I just couldn’t stop. I thought I was stupid and that life was like this for everyone else, except others had a good discipline and not me. I thought I was the problem, and that led me to so much social and generalized anxiety, and even depression. Now that I’ve been diagnosed and have learned a lot about it, im finally starting to be a bit nicer to myself, understanding that it isn’t my fault, that I cannot change who I am. Adhd is an identity to me. It is part of who I am and without it, I would not be me. This movie just represented me and im so glad im finding people to relate to and that it’s getting the recognition it deserves♥️♥️♥️
I used to get so agitated in school cause people would goof off and make so much noise and I couldn't focus at all. They called me weird, a hardass, intimidating, invisible but I couldn't help it. No matter how hard I tried
Cried watching this, amazing film. Like watching my life growing up, 39 and only just getting a diagnosis. I tbought life was meant to be this tough, all the same comments from others, all the frustration, self hate and low self worth, forgetting gym kit, wandering around school trying find the correct class 30 mins late, Even today had to be threatened by my boss just to complete a menial task that took 20 anxious minuets to complete. Thank you, watching this has helped me feel less alone.
I’m so glad you were able to take so much away from this film, that makes me really happy. Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. That’s exactly what I wanted to achieve with this film. Also very glad that you’re able to get a diagnosis. It can be so freeing. This will hopefully be the start of a wonderful and empowering even if tough journey for you.
I’m so happy to hear that you feel this way! That is exactly the goal I had with making this, so thank you so much for your comment. If you like, you can check out my ADHD montage I made recently, that’s a bit more scientific: th-cam.com/video/YwdDzckWYx8/w-d-xo.html
thank you so much for putting this together! i appreciate your dedication. i believe we are on the adhd road, but i suspect we've been on it all along & just are realizing it. wow! thank you! :)
Thank you so much for that comment. I’m really glad it resonates with people. It’s what got me into filmmaking in the first place! If you’re interested here is a montage about ADHD I made recently: th-cam.com/video/YwdDzckWYx8/w-d-xo.html

Very good movie showing a very good picture about adhd overall. And "Alex" is fucking beautifull by the way.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
The teacher was nasty.
20:40 that literally just happened to me watching this 😳
drugs alone can not do it. I am just now working with a person on C.B .
