I remember my mom saying " oh the doctor said you have ADHD but i don't believe it" but as I grow older it makes more sense that the signs are becoming more apparent
I told my mother I might have ADHD. Been telling her for a few years. Last week she said “you were tested as a baby, you don’t have it.” Like as if you can’t develop ADHD later in life? She just doesn’t want to admit that I actually have serious problems.
For a person that is diagnosed with ADHD, I find this pretty accurate. The lack of motivation is the most one probably for me. Motivation is the worst for me ever, I really don't get anything done because I just won't feel like it and the next day I feel sad because I didn't get it done. I take medicine for it, and I have a wonderful mother and father who knows how to deal with it perfectly.
@@summy-q2o oh I'm sorry to hear that, depends how old you are, but you can always speak to your counselor at school. I don't know who you are, but I have a feeling like you can make it, you can do it.
@@MashedRaspberries how are you living ✋ When I don't take my medicine I die so does the people around me LOL, but you must be used to it by now. But Im definitely not 😂 lol
i love writing so much. but it only discourages me when i remember i’m only good energy boosts. i can’t work on writing: i just love writing. no matter how hard i try, i can’t get myself to chain myself in my bed and just write.
Its hard to self diagnose adhd correctly since its something that have a lot of symptoms that appear 'normal' or can appear from boredom, not caring and even sleep problems. Then again adhd can cause all of those things. So id reccomend u go check it out with a professional:) Its ok to make mistakes but its important to understand urself as best as u can
There is nothing wrong with going to a doctor and ask to test if you have it. Afterall if you yourself have a suspecion that you may have it, its better to let a professional look into it. Wish you and everyone else good luck!
“Brain fog” is a terrible symptom of ADHD. It makes you feel like you’re drunk, you can hardly think and sometimes hardly even see because you can’t focus on anything, a true catatonic state. Edit: I’m glad so many people can relate!
I’m 13, and i relate to all of these. I’m thinking of asking my parents to take me to the doctor to see if I have it or not. The one I relate to most are innatentivness, and hyper focus. Whenever i’m in school or talking to someone about something i’m not really interested in or don’t care about, i tend to zone out or be distracted by something else. But if I am working or talking about something i’m interested in I tend to listen very closely. I do still zone out when talking, but while working I focus very hard on it and don’t care about anything else around me. Thank you for showing these, it really helps, thank you ☺️
@@sugarcoatt_ ik this comment is old but same... i feel like its SO obvious and i have friends with ADHD urging me to look into it but my parents js dont listen and think im making it up D:
It's not easy having ADHD, I wanna clean my room, but the stress of my room not bring clean makes me unmotivated so it's an endless cycle of not cleaning my room, the same goes with other things, but another big trait of ADHD is the willingness to help others we get enjoyment from helping others, I don't want to clean my room, but I'd clean a messier room just for the gratification of helping someone
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder, Not until my wife 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.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
@@briar9861 as a person who has adhd it’s gets hard but we are very creative some celebrities have ADHD so if you want to get tested you should justs to make sure
I'm a girl and I have ADHD it sucks bad so no your wrong about its hardly in girls. The fact that it's not true is funny. But believe what you want I know this. I have had ADHD sence I was 5 I'm now 11 Years old. Some people don't think I am cause the way I act and because I dress tomboyish and e-girlish. And I'm lazy but I do go boxing. People think I don't have ADHD and I don't know how to tell my gf I have ADHD
@@unknownfire8863 hardly as in it's harder to diagnosed. They hardly get diagnosed, not because they don't have it, but it's harder to find since it's more internal
I’m 15yrs old and was diagnosed at age 13. I started taking medison at age 14 and has completely changed everything. I’ve noticed all the patterns in my brain and I can see the world like everyone else can. ADHD isn’t only bad. I like to see it as a super power sometimes. The creativity and pattern recognition is crazy and I dont know how to explain it other than some people will think I’m dumb one second and a genius the other.
Yeah I’m almost 18 and These past 2 years I’ve been more aware and I think I need a diagnosis bc looking back at my entire life I think it really was just adhd
@@Sunoomarryme Cause they have this minor traits and think they have all of these, but adhd is actually a really strong feeling of all of these in the video or some of them. Most people here have these symptons but they are mild, that's why they all think they have it
@@r4nboos_s1bling96 i say go ask a psychologist. I showed every symptom as a kid and finally got a proper diagnosis as an adult. Every person that sees the list of symptoms and end up thinking they have it. It's kinda you have to have it to know what it actually feels like.
I have anxiety so I guess these can be misplaced into that category haha. What I dont understand in my life is that I get super irritated if something doesnt stay constant or go the way I expect. It's a weird trait that I dont speak about cause it just sounds like me being annoying or obsessive but I dont mean or want to do it at all
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young child. This makes me feel better knowing ADHD has other things than just the stereotypes of being confused with autism..
And here is a little unknown fact, ADHD used to be categorized with autism but a scientist change to that because the key difference is the fact of autistic people not understanding emotions very well in Social environments.
@@khuloodshahalam9619 truthfully, I have pretty much all of the symptoms to and I'm having to go back through the read diagnosis stuff because they lost my paperwork on it from when I was 12 years old and got diagnosed I want to get help with it and back onto medication for my ADHD but can't do that until I'm diagnosed again. And I don't even know how to explain why I have such a difficulty in public and why I need help because I don't know what it's like to be normal so how do I know what is supposed to be normal for a neurotypical person. Yes I have a little bit of anxiety about that
Don't worry, I managed to finish colledge, only for the harder subjects I needed ritalin. If you have trouble with learning I really recomend takeing ritalin
I can relate. Not with ADHD but autism. 19 and only now am I diagnosed and only because I learnt it was hereditary and decided to seek out and pay for a private psychologist (I'm from the UK so things normally go through public health). I've always had poor social skills and mental problems, grew up with no friends and needing speech therapy, AND when I spoke to my mum about autism I found out that I got referred for an autism diagnosis when I was 5 but public health were just like "eh, they aren't THAT bad, they're probably just shy or something" without actually following the assessment. It's not fair that this kinda thing happened.
I feel like adhd has turned me into an unmotivated loser for life. I can never focus on the important things, and I feel like im falling into a hole thats becoming harder and harder to climb out of.
preach bro😂 ay think about all the other adhd people here we all sharing the same feelings (in general?). if you need someone to talk to hmu. stay safe man
True and sucks even more when people out there don't understand you and just throw labels at yah making you feel worse, but I'm not saying this to make you agree with yourself, it's ok to feel that way, just don't let the ADHD label to become an excuse, you just have to work harder than everyone else, Howie Mandel has ADHD too and he's famous, if he can become something in life, you can to, Don't let ADHD define you, become the person you want to be and work towards it, you have to fall before you can stand up only weak people stay on the ground, but you must stand and walk forward!!
Yes ADHD is 'relatable' to most people, because most of the symptoms are things we all may experience from time to time. With ADHD we experience these things so strongly and so often that it affects our lives every day, some days are good and some days we can barely function. It is a disorder when it is disrupting your life.
Yes I have adhd, and it’s kind of annoying seeing people in these comments saying they might have it… because some people do experience some but not as much is people who actually have adhd, and they say they can relate to EVERY SINGLE ONE but adhd is different between male and females
Yes! I relate to a lot said in the video but I'm not diagnosed, also my friend is diagnosed with ADHD and we are quite different in this game is the form if distractions or hyper focus.
@@SinfulRainbow I'm sorry to hear that, assuming you still want to try for a diagnosis then definitely try to see if you can get a second opinion if there is anyone else you can go to and if you have the money for it. If not, I highly suggest you watch videos/read forums and articles to get tips and advice anyway and see if any of it can help make your life even the slightest bit easier in the meantime! (If you aren't already doing that).
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and can relate to a lot of these, especially mood swings. I sometimes would go from calm and happy to suddenly furious, and then a minute later I'm about to cry.
I have a love hate relationship with my hyperfocus. I love being able to focus on something and learn everything about it for hours on end but hate not being able to tear myself away from it and have it affect my work and relationships.
right it makes me feel so bad when people think i’m ignoring them or being passive aggressive with short responses cause i’m hyper focused :/ or when i hyper focus on cleaning and organizing my whole room and closet instead of doing my homework
The worst part of it is probably forgetting to care of yourself lol. I always forget to eat or sleep or do ther stuff I was supposed to. Dunno if I have ADHD but I definitely hyper focus a lot.
to everyone saying self diagnosis is a horrible thing to do. take into consideration that diagnosis isnt a right but a privilege. not everyone is in the financial state where they are able to get a diagnosis or if theyre a minor the people around them may not allow them to get diagnosed. im not saying that you can go around diagnosing yourself with no reason but keep this in mind when you shame someone for not having a diagnosis.
fr, i have severe anxiety but was told "oh we don't want to put a label on it" which restricts me from proper care and medication. we love the NZ mental health system :))
I had to "self diagnose" in order to see a psychiatrist and eventually get an official diagnosis. I did months of research. Well-researched self assessment is a good thing.
Dont go around saying you have a disorder if you don't have a diagnosis it can really annoy people who actually have been diagnosed bc your just guessing
I never got diagnosed but through out my whole childhood, teachers will often ask questions if I have ADHD when I was very little. My mom would yell at them saying I’m perfectly healthy normal child. I found out a few years later half of my family is diagnosed with ADHD, even my own little brother. I’m now going to college, and a teacher told me I need to get properly diagnosed.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m thankfully getting a diagnosis in October, but when I was young people would write me off as chatty/hyperactive and I’d get in trouble a lot, but no one ever mentioned anything. My mom gaslit me about it, first saying I might have it, then saying I didn’t, then mentioning I had it and when I told her she said I didn’t have it, she said “it’s just not as bad as yor brothers, I never said that.) just recently out of my 17 years figured out BOTH of my brothers have it INCLUDING my mom (and my dad shows a lot of symptoms but never bothered to get tested). Thankfully they finally listened after me pestering for over 5 years, and my therapist and counselors advocating for me. I hope all goes well for you though!
Same, in the 5th grade, my teacher gave my mom a whole referral to get me checked out for ADHD and instead, my mom ignored it. Years later; I’m getting really bad symptoms and she’s talking about how it’s a mental illness that’ll ruin my life if I get it diagnosed so 😐
Yeah, sounds like you might wanna get that checked and correctly diagnosed. I've been seeing the same psychiatrist for like 20yrs, and my whole life I've suspected I had ADD or ADHD, but we were more focused on my anxiety and severe depression! I guess it's time I asked! Take care all! ✌🏻😁
I have ADHD and I have no idea what the problem is. It's the truth, you need to learn to control it. It's not a mental illness, you're just slightly different.
ADHD can't be controlled sadly, I've lived 12 years of my life without knowing and now that I do I get bullied even more , saying just control it freak, its a very hard thing to control, the only thing you can rlly do is hide it
Yeah it’s always fucked me up. After hearing that I can help it so many times I just gave up. I don’t know how to help it and I got sick of adults in group therapy asking other kids what they thought of my attitude. Wish I was diagnosed, maybe then I’d have had a therapist that knew what they were doing.
I had it when I was a child and when I turn 18 my dad would be like oh your brain has improved there's nothing wrong with you it's your video games. He is not a doctor. And thinks oh you don't have it because it doesn't affect you when your playing video games
Then don’t self dx. Go to a psychologist EDIT- don’t hit me w the “DiAgNosIs iS a PrIviLedGe” I understand that but if you can’t get one then you can’t get one, I’m sorry. Is it rly that hard to say “I think I have ____?” It’s not. Self dx is also dangerous, as you might have an actual condition which you may misdiagnose (for example, you mistake your heart problems for anxiety bc Dr. Google told u it’s anxiety, and bc you never got your heart checked you die)
@@kat3217 not everyone can always diagnose. they either dont have the financial support or are not allowed to, especially for minors. obviously its not good to self diagnose for no good reason or for attention, but a person should be allowed to say “its very likely that i have ADHD” and not be harassed online for not being able to get a professional diagnosis.
@@person-eh6rr yeah I agree, it’s ok to say “I think I might have ___” but u should not go around saying “I have ___” if you’re not even diagnosed. It’s That simple
self diagnosis is always the first step towards actual diagnosis! personally i dont see any issues with self diagnosing when its for yourself and not to "brag" about it like a lot of kids do :)
Reminder to people who are looking to see if they have adhd: you might find these relatable but the symptoms are common. It’s the INTENSITY of it that’s abnormal. (Edit: this clearly isn’t abt people who know Jesus Christ y’all)
Im constantly being called lazy and half arsed because i dont have the motivation to do things. I have a lot of trouble focusing and keeping my mind on one task. I forget very easily, and I usually get a bit of a lecture about it. “Just remember then.” “Stop fidgeting.” “Pay attention.” “Stop doing that.” “Are you ignoring me?” Its getting really difficult right now, and i dont know what to do. Im always worried what others think about me, and sometimes i even make up lies to seem like a cooler, better person. Its so stressful, its really interfearing with my education. But my parents arent really big believers in disabilities, and think the whole spectrum thing is bullshit. And i get annoyed by the smallest things, like one minute im happy, i then get annoyed and angry by the smallest thing, and then im sad because i feel bad, although i did nothing wrong? Its really annoying me, sorry for this little vent, i really needed this. I do not have ADHD, but latley i have seen videos like these and am starting to wonder, “is this me?” Sorry for this big ass paragraph
No need to apologize ! Thank you for sharing your feelings :) I think I have similar situations where I feel little to no motivation at all to do tasks (even eating healthily seems often difficult). Recently I noticed how I could go from satisfied or content to disappointed and ashamed in the same day while socializing. And I can't stop thinking about what I did wrong in the day and reminscing old memories where I found myself unattractive or hateful. I can't get peace in my mind when I don't do something or I can't focus on a simple thing because I suddenly feel the need to review these old memories again when... I'm not supposed to? It's confusing and I can't totally move on from my mistakes and actions from before. I thought facing them but how? Do other normal people do that? At this point I think therapy is needed because I need clear answers about my behaviour and unhealthy state of mind. And sorry for my mistakes I haven't wrote in english in a long time lol
Hi! idk if it is same to me but da thing is i do not know if i have adhd i think so dats why i tried to get diagnosed but my MUM thinks im acting and its starting to piss me off how each thing we have with a doctor, the first guy said that there is no shit i do not have ADHD my psychologist said he thinks i do not have ADHD since my problems were the exams and the stress about them, thats what i talked to him about always the third guy said dat, uhh , said dat he recomends another guy and dat other guy said that we needed to meet 6 MORE TIMES And why didnt my mom just go to the second meeting with the first doctor? in irl? cuz she wants second opinions and beetween these meetings, there are 1 or 2 months so shes just like hey he thinks he has adhd cuz her sister has it MY SISTER TOOK ONLY 1 WEEK TO DIAGNOSE THAS JUST AMAZING LOOOL i know these stuff are worth money, so thats something i should be pacient with, but it would be better if we just got into da next meeting with the first doctor cuz she would spend less money so no reason about that i guess Wa-wa-wait i just wrote a whole text to awnser a comment? same size as a comment im still writing? dis is ironic and weir- AM I ACTING? i have questions
I understand you’re struggles. I was diagnosed with ADHD and other disorders in my second year of Elementary. The thing that helps me the most with focus is by playing with my rings during my sessions. I also enjoy doodling while listening to the lecture. Some days when I really can’t focus I like to give my brain a break and close my eyes. To help my memory improve I would say my locker combination out loud the right way then backwards.
No worries! I feel the same exact why but I don’t know what to do either. But if you know your parents will listen tell them or search for way you can solve your problems.😁👍🏾
i'm really glad i'm not the only one on this floating rock that feels that way. like literally every. ficking. word. felt that. and like a lot of the times i just forget to eat. like not on purpose i just forget. you literally made my day by that knowing i'm not alone! like seriously ty
I saw this in my recommendation and thought: “Oh, let’s see if I or someone I know have ADHD.” While watching, I realized I relate to all of these. It actually shocked me because these ADHD signs explains how I do things. I don’t want to self-diagnose myself but near future, I will go to a doctor to see..
Do yall ever have more than one task to do and you feel like your being pulled between them so you end up doing neither because you can’t decide which one to do Edit: let us all cry together 😩
one thing i think is really interesting is how often young girls aren’t diagnosed with adhd. as kids boys being loud and disruptive is respected and “boys will be boys” and they get diagnosed and taken care of, but with girls they’re told to mask it, stay quiet, therefore they’re heavily under diagnosed. idk i just thought that was kinda interesting
I have such bad ADD, and dyscalculia that the lady who tested me, called the percentile I was in Bless Your Heart Range. I wasn't diagnosed until about 3ish weeks ago. The entire time before then, i just thought it was normal to jump around from idea to idea, look like you're focused but really be daydreaming about what I'm gonna eat for dinner and breakfast. I had no idea what it was like for my brain to just stop " buzzing". All my teachers used to think I was just lazy and didn't put in effort, little did they know, i was going to tutors 3x a week, and couldn't piece together information. :) I had lovely teachers. ( sorry not ADD, thats my brother, I have ADHD Inattentive, It's a variant of ADHD)
Fr. My brother was suspected of having adhd when he was young and he was able to check with a doctor but when i showed the same symptoms, i was just told that i was being lazy?
I don't even know how to approach my parents with ANY of my obvious psychological issues. I don't know how I'd talk about suspecting adhd if I can't talk about extremely obvious anxiety and some other issues I suspect.
I can't really control myself and my mom keeps telling me "you're supposed to be smart, so why are you acting so pathetic and stupid?" And I usually can't explain, how I do what I do.
You are more than your academic level, which is also probably really good. My parents would whip me harshly for getting bad grades but I couldn’t focus because of bullying, lack of sleep and being hungry. Those factors had a party with my ADHD almost everyday at school. The one thing that helped me focus better is, during my downtime, reading and practicing something I enjoyed, like drawing skills and conspiracies (haha!) Stuff that makes me apply myself, y’know? Sorry your mom treats you awfully like that
@@tl740 bruh i relate to this a lot, my parents want me to live with them forever and guilt trip me to stay like what ?_? Hope you can focus on getting better on your own once you move out and dont have them making you feel awful for things you barely have control over
I really wish I could help you in any way I could but I am also currently in a very unhealthy household and I'm actually working to move out too but just know that you are loved and things are going to get better
Me, who is diagnosed with ADHD (the attention-type): Oh, I got diagnosed with ADHD. My family: **doesn't take it seriously** Me: **who goes through mood swings, depressive states, not on medication yet** My family: Why is she acting this way?
@@user-dl3vn8ze9n Antidepressants made me be emotionless and gain 20 lbs. I don't like antidepressants, but please stop discouraging others, as you don't know what medicines will be compatible with them.
@@user-dl3vn8ze9n you might’ve gotten a bad prescription. i had to take 3, one i was unable to swallow, one gave me a depressive suicidal episode, and one worked for a year until i didnt need to take them anymore. meds are different for everyone, you just need to find the right one
I'm so glad someone finally is talking about hyper focus! When I go on tic tok they only talk about inattentiveness. It kind of annoys me because it makes it seem like people with ADHD can never focus. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, and I hyperfocus a lot, so thank you for putting that in the video. :)
I have a few of the signs mentioned in this video. I think I'm going to talk to my parents about it, and if I end up officially diagnosed and I get help, the I can make my life better more smoothly. (I'm a 20-year-old with Autism, and I still haven't got a driver's license, nor did I get a chance to go to college since graduating in 2020) Thanks for this video!
As a person with diagnosed ADHD u have to remember that ADHD is different for different people. It is different between wemon and men, children and adults, or every personalitys can change a person's ADHD. Some people with ADHD need to be organized while others can't keep organized. Just remember that everyone is different and just because a person doesn't look like they have ADHD doesn't mean they don't have it
My friend was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I was so surprised because she definitely doesn't act like it. But now that I think about it it actually makes sense
ikrrr my mum doesnt believe me when i say i think I might have adhd and she always uses adolecence as an excuse and its so annoying and ive done so much research that just goes down the drain with her
Ikr?! I took an online test to see if I was bipolar because of my mood swings but just yesterday I found out I am indeed positive with ADHD. I was found it weird that my types are ball of sunshine and icy poker face
After watching this I can say that I do NOT have adhd, but I have a friend who does so I kept watching to see some things that she has to go through (I found out when I asked her why everyday she went to the nurses office and she said to get her medicine for her adhd) so thanks for the info!
I have ADHD My friends have ADHD We would go from happy, sweet, funny, and positive conversations, to just down right venting. But, I’ve never been so understood around anyone except for them. I love my friends.
I’m not allowed to have a therapist so I’ve been seeing my school therapist without my parents knowledge. I watch these videos for educational purposes because I know people that have things like BPD and ADD/ADHD and so forth, so I like to learn about them so I don’t step out of line with them, but this is something I am most concerned about for me. My whole life I’ve been told to “pay attention”, “stop spacing out”, “quit fidgeting”, “do one thing at a time”, “how is your room already a mess”, “why are these assignments not done yet” it just goes on an on and I been like that since I can remember. I’ve tried saying it’s not my fault, because I didn’t know why all this was happening, I’ve lost a lot of friends because they think I’m selfish or that I don’t pay attention to or care about them and it just makes it worse. I had to rewatch parts of this video because I kept spacing of to something else or forgetting what the narrator was talking about there’s so many things that I can’t even explain and it feels like everything is just crumbling away right below till I fall and I don’t get back up.. because of this everyone is always mad at me and constantly asking me what I think I want and need and I don’t know. I just don’t know
ik how u feel :( ive been going through the same, though im allowed since it happened due to bullying and having a disabled sister they know that i have troubles etc and because of my mental health getting affected even when im starting to get better, my "therapist" thinks i have a mental disability and because my sisters autistic its most likely adhd apparently. ik how it feels, and its even scarier when it starts to sink in and you're like damn.. im a bit scared.. but you finally find out why youve been having these difficulties and youre relieved but scared cause its like oh no.. what about the future and how will this affect me.. (also irrelevant but aaa i loveee ur sakura pfp i see so many ppl who hate her and finally i see someone who doesntttt)
My high school kept constantly contacting my dad throughout the years saying “you need to get your daughter tested we can see she’s struggling” and he kept getting angry at them each time saying “ no she hasn’t I’m not getting her tested” now I’m struggling so much to function properly as an adult, if I’d of gotten the help I needed as a child I would’ve probably been able to finish school and not fail, and obviously if you fail school you most likely will end up with a standard minimum wage job, idk I feel like it ruined me a little
I'm sorry to hear that. In my case, I'm kind of grateful I wasn't diagnosed at an early age because a lot of people would have doubted my ability to finish school. When I got diagnosed for a learning disability in college, a college counselor for people with disabilities didn't think I could complete a degree I wanted to pursue so I ended up taking something else. After I got diagnosed with ADHD my mom didn't think I could have a regular job. She wanted me to look for a job best suited for ADHD people. Personally, that made me feel worse because I know I am pretty capable. I've even been evaluated on my skills at a center. I did pretty good. It's just hard sometimes. But I can also see how it can be bad to be diagnosed with ADHD so late. I mean, I was in my 30s when it happened. I didn't get the help I needed too but I also think of all the medication I would've taken.
Its horrible that your parent never helped you, but sitting on it wont either. While what you said might be true, it would be best if you focus and set your mind on the small things you can do to help yourself and make life a bit easier and more doable right now. :) I know im late to your comment, but i just wanted to tell you that. Hope it helped?
I’m quite young compared to you. My mother also has mental disorders such as bipolar disorder and my grandma never had her put on meds and she’s not physically okay a lot of the time because of that. She understands the fact that I need meds and thankfully doesn’t ignore my health like her mother did to her. I hope you’re doing okay. -a random child person
i've already knew i had ADHD but i didn't know that was that means in English. my family was aware of that so they took me a doctor when i was little so they find out i had. But i never realized that my social problems might had been caused of it. i really appreciate that you made this video. it might help a lot. I'm sure more ADHD people would love to whatch this video too! this made me realize so many things i weren't aware while doing them.
Alright, so here's how my day has went so far: 1. Stay awake for at least 12 hours before even thinking about actually being productive 2. Randomly decide you want to learn the ENTIRE dragon language from the video game Skyrim, and spend about an hour learning proper pronunciation but specifically the direct translation of words from that language into your own 3. Attempt to start virtual work for high school, and promptly forget it and watch TH-cam 4. Remember dragon language, become fascinated in it again 5. Back to TH-cam spontaneously, watch a bunch of Shorts, then find this video Edit: I will be on medication soon for potentially ADD. More testing needs to be done, and don't be fooled, this process is tedious and long. To be diagnosed to the point where something is done, they have to figure out and map your full psyche, and do testing with medication and so on. Many, many steps are required for anything of value to be done. Edit 2: I have ADD. I am currently on Adderall, but it's at such a high dosage that I'd die of exhaustion or starvation from its side effects, but other than that it makes me relatively normal (assuming normal is almost superhuman when those aspects of my brain are unhindered). Also, all that bullshit about "mapping your psyche" is completely wrong, I just assumed that because of the articles I read and my ignorance of the actual process, they did a lot more than they actually ended up doing. In reality, they just did some screenings for symptoms of ADD/ADHD and then trial-and-errored until the desired effects were achieved (still an ongoing process but this one works as a tool).
Omg! I watched It now and Im absolutely blown away by the fact, that every single point is a yes for me. I‘m in Therapy because of Burnout and depression. I always asked myself what‘s wrong with me and why Im always so exhausted . Now i know It!!!! It‘s adhd! Im so thankful for this video omg…. Im literally in tears 😭 thank you ❤
I was just diagnosed with ADHD today! My previous diagnosis were OCD and a tic disorder, turns out it was just ADHD that I heavily masked for most of my life because I grew up in an abusive household where my parents bullied me about my ADHD traits, especially the hyperactivity. I feel like I finally understand why my time management, organization, and motivation skills have always been so bad no matter how hard I've tried to improve. So much makes sense now!
I wish you the best if Luck😘 I know it's not easy to grow up in an abusive household. Aim for amazing goals and be proud of yourself for every step you take towards that💝
This is what I also lived through. Parents were mentally abusive and alcoholic narcissist so gaslighting and mental abuse were motivated by my careless forgetfulness, mistakes, inattentiveness, and disorganization.
What my parents don’t realize is that there are different types of ADHD. Me, I have inattentive ADHD. And watching this even when I am diagnosed has helped me understand it more considering I struggle with all of these. I would get called “Lazy” or doing half of The work. Or just not being able to clean my room efficiently, weather it’s only a little dirty or more severe. Again, this video actually helped me learn about more of my symptoms so thank you for making this video!
@@Redkarmaa I did too, turns out they don’t use the term anymore. I learned that from a video on TikTok (a professional) and she said they just use the term ADHD because there are two kinds
I have this problem like that but with my passions. One week I will love dubstep and want to produce it. Then I’ll hit a 3 day confusion period where I don’t know myself, and then I’ll get obsessed with metal music, then after that I’ll get obsessed with liminal spaces and trying to make them. I never can finish any project that I start because I end up not liking it anymore
BROOOOO OMG I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST MEEE!!! i didnt know later that it was actually a sign of adhd but i used to be obsessed with some things for like a few weeks, and then suddenly, i just stop?
exactly me (but with different passions) One day I want to program a game in C++, then I forget about it for a while, and I think about this wouldbuilding project I had, so I start documenting but then I think it is annoying without a computer (I didn't have acces to my computer), And now I am, or maybe not anymore, in that robotics project... Idk if I have ADHD, but english is a cool language, my keaboard is noisy and my familly is sleeping.
I actually did not know what adhd was!! One of my guy friends told me to look into it as I am extremely impulsive and have issues focusing. I have frequent mood swings. And i experience it a lot. Like a LOT and i am so glad he did! Now all I have to do is somehow tell my parents.
I hate it when neurotypical people say to neurodivirgent people, "just make a planner and lists to get more organised" BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK. Here's some advise from a neurodivirgent person: people with ADHD, try not taking your shoes off when you get home to stay in the flow of things, and maybe then you might actually do the dishes.
THANK YOU OMG legit my parents are like, "write down your thoughts :DD" "Use a planner it will help" NO no it doesn't help because it feels like an extra unnecessary task i have to accomplish when instead i could sit here and look at my ceiling in a state of emotion turmoil. Writing in a journal or keeping a diary are to long term for them to be able to help me, it has to be one step at a time and i hate that people cant seem to understand that.
Yeah, I agree. The amount of times my school told me, ''MaKe a PLaNner to StudY'' made me want to punch a wall. [I never studied qwq] but there's something that works for me. Keep a pack of sticky notes and/ or a small notebook, like small. Because they're small items, it feels like I CAN just write down something real fast and not ruin the flow of my day.
One thing I've learned having been diagnosed with both ADHD and Anxiety, is that the procrastination comes from the ADHD, and the worry about how I have no motivation to do things until last minute is the Anxiety. They work against each other in that way.
I'm diagnosed with ADHD , some people think I always lie about this disorder. And I talk a lot so people get really quickly annoyed with me. But I hope you have a great day to these who read my comment!
As someone who has ADHD let me say this, when we take medication we don’t just stop having ADHD for a certain period of time, instead what the medication does is strengthen your hyper focus which will keep you on task but will also make it difficult to do anything other than that task. It might be different depending on who you are and what medication you take but that’s just what I see most often.
the hyper focus thing is so true- i got diagnosed a while ago with severe adhd and i sat down on the couch today to watch AOT and i was gonna watch like 1 or 2 episodes and i ended up watching 2 seasons of it- I GOT OFF THE COUCH 7-8 HOURS LATER
I am diagnosed with ADHD and I can say it is a personal hell. Your mind races so fast some of your thoughts will even shock you. You get pointed out for doing things like talking fast or tapping your foot or for me ( making weird noises with your mouth) it makes me super self conscious and brings down my self esteem sometimes… I feel like I have to try so much harder to do things some people have no problem doing simply because I CANT FOCUS AT ALL. I start doing one thing and I end up starting like 4 other things in my process. There has definitely been times I’ve broken down and cried and hated myself but.. I try and look at the positives, I can multitask really well because I can’t focus on one thing at a time so multiple things actually (ironically) makes it easier. I feel like I’m getting that “flow” some people are able to easily get. I’ve taken medication and it helps but it can cause you to become dependent because it helps so much if you don’t take it or if you lose it you start to notice your ADHD tendencies A LOT more. It makes you feel dumb but hey I’m here to tell you, you aren’t alone. There are others out there struggling in silence. Some don’t even know they have it but we can support eachother and try and understand eachother and we can do this. Keep going no matter what.
I can definitely relate to you. ADHD is a living hell. I was diagnosed in first grade and I've come up with ways to help stop myself from doing these things unintentionally. I overthink ALOT and it prevents me from doing stuff, but as I said, I have ways around it. Stay strong! We'll get through this together!
I recently turned 46 and fell out of a relationship (I’ve never been good at them) 1 year ago and had another fit of heavy depression (had many over my life) I went to my doctor and saw a therapist over the last year whom suggested that i am and I am coming to terms with the realities of possibly being ADHD and Autistic (old Asperger’s) this video was very very interesting as I’m certain I probably am
Same I was diagnosed when I was little and it’s just gotten worse but my parents don’t believe me and think it’s went away and all I want is to take meds again. Sorry rant
@@comicallychrome8941 I'm sorry your parents don't believe you. It's one of those diseases that can be frustrating to deal with especially when it gets worse.
I don’t know. I relate to a lot of symptoms but I also don’t relate to a lot of them. I can focus and I always accomplish tasks, but I also need constant reminding and it’s hard to remember to do the tasks. I’ll probably talk to my therapist about it to see. Thanks for the video!
I’m not diagnosed with ADHD and I am not self diagnosing. But I have felt like I needed to get tested and this video has inspired me to do more research. Thank you!
Me and my sister have adhd and asd, and I hear this all the time. Especially since my sister is 3 years younger than me, and is therefore a teenager. The people that's supposed to be professionals, and have to help her (because she's a "child"), keeps going on and on about routine and planning, even though they know her brain doesn't work like that. Adhd and asd is a wierd combo, and in our way, routine doesn't help. They don't understand how a routine can also be flexible and isn't necessarily only one way, and they are the ones who are supposed to know this. It confuses me so much, like just let us be in peace without having to hear routine, routine and routine on repeat. Sorry for the little rant if anyone reads this😅 Also sorry for my english and grammar, I'm not a native speaker 😊
I can’t organize my life. That’s why I’m _always_ late when I have an appointment or something... That’s also part of the reason why I couldn’t keep a job for a very long time.
I was diagnosed at 37. To me it was a major relief. I have always been told I was stupid and lazy, and learning that I wasn't was a major relief to me. I also learned afterwards why I'm so prone to overworking myself to a point where I mentally break down... There are many positive things about me that I attribute to my ADHD, but by the gods, there are many negatives too....
The problem is someone who doesn't have ADHD can look at these symptoms and come to the conclusion that they have it where they only show mild symptoms or "normal" behaviour. For example I see myself in a lot of these, especially disorganisation, impulsivity and unmotivated but I don't believe I have ADHD (although I've never been checked and because I did well in school and a have never been hyperactive I never will) It's important to understand that showing signs is not the same as having a mental/behavioural disability (or however its classed) and you should never self diagnose anything
Thank you, that's exactly what I thought, just that I don't wanna be disrespectful to who has adhd so I just try not to think that I have, im weird i know
“Self diagnosing” means nothing for MOST NORMAL PEOPLE that aren’t buying illegal drugs. You still have to go through a battery of tests and professional help to diagnose and treat. Acknowledging and being honest with health care professionals is a GOOD THING.
I have ADHD and have always done extremely well in school and I do experience almost all of the symptoms explained in the video. I also have never been hyperactive because hyperactivity is one of the three types of ADHD. There’s hyperactive, inattentive, and a combination of the two. The type I have is inattentive, it’s a lot harder to diagnose and is more presented in the female sex (which I am). A lot of people who have inattentive type ADHD, don’t get diagnosed until they’ve reached adulthood (especially when they do well in school) because it’s not nearly as visible compared to hyperactivity. The only reason I got diagnosed so early on is because I recognized some of those symptoms and out of curiosity I asked my parents if I could get a diagnosis just to be sure. Turns out I did! I got prescribed a medication and take it every morning before I go to school, it’s helped so much and has made life easier for the better. Hope this reply helps you! :)
I was diagnosed as ADHD as a child, dropped out of HS because I couldn’t focus, and joined the army. I still have a hard time, was diagnosed with BP1 and PTSD, and OCD. Now, 19 years later, I am enrolled in college and almost finished with my BSc, then onto my Masters degree! You can do it! It’s hard sometimes, but you can reach out and ask for help! Someone will understand! My college granted me an accommodation for ADHD, so I have more time for assignments and tests. Thank you for your videos!
Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD can lead to depression. Depression has similar symptoms, but it will worsen the ADHD symptoms. I was diagnosed with depression first and treating it didn't fix anything, but I kept going to the doctor and asking for help (don't be ashamed to ask for help!) and when we talked about ADHD, that's when it finally made sense.
This story is kinda long so my bad 🤷♀️ As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD I was crying watching this video because I only saw the video as of how different I am from normal people. when I was a kid in elementary school I was never able to make friends as easily as other people because of my ADHD (ADHD can affect everyone differently this is just how it was for me). I always struggled with socializing with other people I would struggle to talk them and Learn more about them. So as a kid I only grew up with 2 friends at most at a time and even after time those friends left me because they couldn’t understand (They told me that they didn’t think I cared because I talked so much about other things). So not only did I lose the only friends I ever had I also had bad grades and wasn’t musically or athletically talent either. I went Into a small depression after awhile. I started to hate myself so much, I though I was complete garbage and a waste of air. So after a while (yes a whole year and a half of being alone) I finally worked up the courage to find new friends that I could hangout with and thank God I found 2 new friends, but then the pandemic hit. But still I tried to stay friends with these people because I didn’t want to be alone. So when the school year started again I would have friends to hangout with and not be alone. Now it’s been 4 years and I still have the same 2 friends I made before the pandemic they understand me and I couldn’t be more grateful. Sometimes there just needs to be bad before there’s good.
@1Casey Lopez i don't know if i have adhd but... i agree with the comment up, I'm still struggling with socializing and befriending people, my focusing is really bad still... i got alot of bad grades and got my mother disappointed in me, always have the "i will finish this task first" but end up either forgetting it or do another tasks, I'm always forgetful people complain about how bad i am at doing anything even myself, i struggle with this alot since i was a kid and still..
@1Casey Lopez i hope so! thank you so much! i always forget where i put my phone so yesterday i accidentally pushed it and i broke the screen 😅 but thank you for this! i needed it! :D
This hit close to home. I'm a highschool student as of now and I was diagnosed with ADHD at 5 years old (which is amazing fact considered I'm a female). I have always struggled with staying interested in school and tend to get in trouble for skipping ahead on my work. I also had bad grades last year and the year before because I hated wasting my time on homework when I could draw, practice playing trumpet or watch anime. It got to the point where I'd get all of the things for my hobbies taken away until I did my work. But thankfully in highschool grades are weighted and homework only counts for 5% of my grade.
I definitely need to get tested because this is exactly how my life went like Word for Word it’s crazy. It was so hard for me it’s still really hard I’m so sorry you had to go through these struggles
I’ve been in a relationship with someone who has ADHD and Depression. So this really helps me to comprehend and even be aware of what’s going on around him. Anyway I keep helping and praying for him including everyone who have it. 😇 Have a great day everyone! And may God bless us all 🥰
Education is always the best thing to do when you are with a partner who has a issue that you may or may not fully understand. I'm certain they'll appreciate that too.
I’ve looked through lots of ADHD videos and I relate to most of the symptoms or signs people list so I wanna tell my parents that I want to get a diagnosis. Unfortunately, I don’t want them to say ‘But you are normal’ or ‘you don’t have ADHD’ but it worth telling them so maybe behaviours will make sense. Edit: Sorry for making this comment come across as self-diagnosis. I would never and I don’t want to put myself and others in danger. I’m so very sorry!
@@LinoFloors thanks for telling me that! I’m hoping in the future to get diagnosed (I haven’t got an appointment I mean far future) I’m also finding ways to handle some things. Deadlines are still a problem though
it is indeed important to go to a psychiatric to check it out, anxiety and depression has some similar symptoms of adhd, those being lack of interest and attention, thats why you cant just diagnose yourself.
Do you ever just forget something exists? Like for exemple I wanna eat a snack but I finish a game before I do and next thing you know is that I realize a week later that I still haven't eaten the snack.
Oh ! I have that too and I recently found out that's called object permanence. When something is out of sight you forget it's existence. A person without ADHD will probably remember it but those with ADHD struggle with object permanence.
holy fucking shit all the time. i feel so frustrated because on most mornings i forget to bring my phone upstairs after eating since whenever i had online classes, i’d be in class while eating breakfast. and then i’d have to go back downstairs to get it. plus i keep forgetting which cup i drank from (i have a lot of siblings and we have the same looking glasses) so i ask my siblings if they know which cup i used, but sometimes they don’t know either. it’s little things like these that get me so annoyed with myself, always forgetting things and losing stuff. my life feels so hectic as i relate to these symptoms in the video and i tried telling my mom i think i have adhd and wanna get diagnosed but she hasn’t said anything yet :[
This must be a thing right?? I keep forgetting to throw away trash or wash my piled up laundry just bcuz i didn't notice them even if they're all in my room. Those are just some examples...
This makes me so relieved that this is actually something lots of people experience and it’s not just a matter of having trouble focusing or being lazy.
I am almost entirely certain I have ADHD based on all the research I have done on it, and it has really been impacting my life. I haven't gotten it checked out yet because the main thing I'm scared of is telling my parents. I know it is for my mental status and things like that and there is nothing for them to get mad at me about, but I'm pretty sure they won't do a thing about it. I have already told my parents that I might have ADHD and I told them a while ago, but they just laughed at me and said I don't have it. And I agree, I was stupid to think I had ADHD back then because I had done little to no research about it, but I don't know if that is going to happen again. I'm scared they are just going to laugh at me again like they did last time and that all the research I did about it will be useless and a waste of time. I really don't want to talk with them about it much either because they don't believe in a lot of things, especially some mental illnesses or other things of that sort. What should I do because I think this problem is going to weigh down on me more and more the more I ignore it.
I did my research on ADHD after not being able to understand why I had such an hard time doing A N Y T H I N G: I knew it couldn't be depression because I have also experienced it, and I've only noticed worsening of my traits/symptoms that I experience daily, and this since childhood. After almost an year, I was sure: it was ADHD. I self-diagnosed with ADHD because I related with every single thing, and everything applied to me. After coming to that conclusion, I started searching for places where they could diagnose ADHD, but most places were all booked or reserved to children. I'm still struggling with being undiagnosed and having to deal with myself, but since I was tired of struggling to no end, I've decided to try following ADHD-focused pages, and I have to say: they really helped a lot, because their tips were actually working for me, and their explanation on things I experienced (and still experience) was a relief in many cases, as I wasn't wrong or broken, but rather different, and in many other cases it helped me understand myself better and work on methods and tips on how to deal with everyday life and tasks. My suggestion is: try searching for ADHD pages and channels, even if you're not (medically diagnosed as) ADHD, and see if they have suggestions that work for you. Remember, an ADHD brain is generally low on dopamine, which is the hormone for satisfaction, so try to take it in consideration when you want to do a task, and find ways to make the task enjoyable, or at least doable and bearable. Try also not to beat yourself down too much if you even struggle starting a chore. I believe in you :)
@@stopminormutilation i really want to try see if i can get a diagnosis, but my parents will not believe me, and will think i’m joking or doing it for attention :/ doctors aren’t always an option. not saying i’m diagnosing myself or anything, i haven’t looked into it a lot
i relate to most of these symptoms, and the possibility of me having adhd has been in my mind for the past 6 months tbh however i believe im just overlooking things or being dramatic, since this could just be me and my normal everyday behavior): thank you very much for making such informative vid tho, it’s very appreciated !
I mean, it may help to consider that ADHD isn't something separate from your everyday life. If these fit your everyday behavior, it only increases the likelihood of ADHD. Everyone may experience some of these symptoms sometime in their lives, but when it occurs on a regular basis at an extreme, that's when we consider it to be ADHD.
I feel the same way, I’ve been thinking about the symptoms I might be showing and all I can think of is ADHD . I Need to probably get it checked out but am scared I might not have and that’s just who I am
Thank you for the video. You did however miss a big one - bad time management ( or "time blindness" ). It is very common for ADHD and it really is a big one, it does affect everyday life a lot.
Also, stimulants like caffeine actually calm you down when you have ADHD and things that make other people sleepy like a sleeping aid can make you hyper.
I always drink monster energy before pe cuz it makes me happy and active. I don't tire out so fast, and can let all my energy out. A con is that sometimes I'm TOO energetic. I scream, jump around and kinda anoy my classmates. But I only relize that after pe when I'm home and thinking "Well that was fucking dumb"

I told my mother I might have ADHD. Been telling her for a few years. Last week she said “you were tested as a baby, you don’t have it.” Like as if you can’t develop ADHD later in life? She just doesn’t want to admit that I actually have serious problems.
For a person that is diagnosed with ADHD, I find this pretty accurate. The lack of motivation is the most one probably for me. Motivation is the worst for me ever, I really don't get anything done because I just won't feel like it and the next day I feel sad because I didn't get it done. I take medicine for it, and I have a wonderful mother and father who knows how to deal with it perfectly.

There is nothing wrong with going to a doctor and ask to test if you have it. Afterall if you yourself have a suspecion that you may have it, its better to let a professional look into it.
Wish you and everyone else good luck!
“Brain fog” is a terrible symptom of ADHD. It makes you feel like you’re drunk, you can hardly think and sometimes hardly even see because you can’t focus on anything, a true catatonic state. Edit: I’m glad so many people can relate!
well I've had that, what now? how do i get rid of it?
Just Me I have no clue man I just don’t do anything the whole day and just play PS4, not sure what I’d do if I had it on a work day
Oh god i know what that feels, especially when your brain fogs at interviews, presentations or sometimes even singing songs at family gatherings
KJ Yes!!! Exactly, i feel like it’s common with inattentive adhd
when they happen during exam time :/
I’m 13, and i relate to all of these. I’m thinking of asking my parents to take me to the doctor to see if I have it or not. The one I relate to most are innatentivness, and hyper focus. Whenever i’m in school or talking to someone about something i’m not really interested in or don’t care about, i tend to zone out or be distracted by something else. But if I am working or talking about something i’m interested in I tend to listen very closely. I do still zone out when talking, but while working I focus very hard on it and don’t care about anything else around me. Thank you for showing these, it really helps, thank you ☺️

I'm a 28 year old female and was just diagnosed with ADHD a little over a month ago. I wish they would do more studies.
How did you get diagnosed? My psychiatrist wants me to be evaluated for either autism or ADHD but everywhere near me only tests under 18.
They study adhd in boys at young age more than girls :/
ADHD is harder to diagnose in women than men, so sadly there’s so many undiagnosed women struggling 😥
I know it’s very hard
I'm in the same boat! I'm 24 and was diagnosed last year, I agree... they should be doing more studies on females
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder, Not until my wife 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.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES very sure of Predroshrooms
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

I’m 15yrs old and was diagnosed at age 13. I started taking medison at age 14 and has completely changed everything. I’ve noticed all the patterns in my brain and I can see the world like everyone else can. ADHD isn’t only bad. I like to see it as a super power sometimes. The creativity and pattern recognition is crazy and I dont know how to explain it other than some people will think I’m dumb one second and a genius the other.
I am dumb one second and a genius the other, does this make me ADHD ?

me looking back at my life: wait, it's all just ADHD
ADHD: always has been
Ikr everything makes sense now
Yeah I’m almost 18 and These past 2 years I’ve been more aware and I think I need a diagnosis bc looking back at my entire life I think it really was just adhd
@@Nyxelodeon_
I'm 26, got (re-)diagnosed last year and since then had to learn a lot about what ADHD is and it' overwhelmingly everything
This is me! At 38 years old…
LOL... FACTS!!
Not wanting to self-diagnose but honestly, I can relate to EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
@@Sunoomarryme I know but it is true though 😅
@@Sunoomarryme I mean it can be true though perhaps there are more people than we think that have these symptoms that never gets diagnosed at all.
@@Sunoomarryme Cause they have this minor traits and think they have all of these, but adhd is actually a really strong feeling of all of these in the video or some of them. Most people here have these symptons but they are mild, that's why they all think they have it
@@r4nboos_s1bling96 i say go ask a psychologist. I showed every symptom as a kid and finally got a proper diagnosis as an adult. Every person that sees the list of symptoms and end up thinking they have it. It's kinda you have to have it to know what it actually feels like.
I have anxiety so I guess these can be misplaced into that category haha. What I dont understand in my life is that I get super irritated if something doesnt stay constant or go the way I expect. It's a weird trait that I dont speak about cause it just sounds like me being annoying or obsessive but I dont mean or want to do it at all
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
Hey mate, do you know where i can source one? I really need this to treat my ADHD.
doctorcyruss is your guy, got all kinds of psychedelics and the most knowledgeable that i know.
Is he on telgram?
Yes and tiktok, highly recommended.
doctorcyruss saved my cousin from bipolar disorder and some addiction.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young child. This makes me feel better knowing ADHD has other things than just the stereotypes of being confused with autism..
Then how u got batter because im having a difficult time i have all the symptoms
i have adhd and aspergers
And here is a little unknown fact, ADHD used to be categorized with autism but a scientist change to that because the key difference is the fact of autistic people not understanding emotions very well in Social environments.
@@khuloodshahalam9619 truthfully, I have pretty much all of the symptoms to and I'm having to go back through the read diagnosis stuff because they lost my paperwork on it from when I was 12 years old and got diagnosed I want to get help with it and back onto medication for my ADHD but can't do that until I'm diagnosed again. And I don't even know how to explain why I have such a difficulty in public and why I need help because I don't know what it's like to be normal so how do I know what is supposed to be normal for a neurotypical person. Yes I have a little bit of anxiety about that
I have both ADD and autism , it really sucks
"Lack of research for Adults with ADHD"
I just got diagnosed and I'm in college, how fun
im 13 ive had since i was diagnosed since i was 6
Don't worry, I managed to finish colledge, only for the harder subjects I needed ritalin.
If you have trouble with learning I really recomend takeing ritalin
I'm finishing uni soon and I just started the process of getting diagnosed :3
I can relate. Not with ADHD but autism. 19 and only now am I diagnosed and only because I learnt it was hereditary and decided to seek out and pay for a private psychologist (I'm from the UK so things normally go through public health).
I've always had poor social skills and mental problems, grew up with no friends and needing speech therapy, AND when I spoke to my mum about autism I found out that I got referred for an autism diagnosis when I was 5 but public health were just like "eh, they aren't THAT bad, they're probably just shy or something" without actually following the assessment. It's not fair that this kinda thing happened.
Bru same! Im 28
The fact I found this when I was supposed to be doing homework is starting to get my brain tingling.
Me, a person diagnosed with ADHD who zoned off at least 10 times during the video and only understood a quarter of it: Hmm, interesting
OMFGGG was gonna comment this im not diagnosed tho
I was looking for a comment like this
I am diagnosed with it and only zoned off once
Yes tysm lol
I don't even have adhd(at least I don't think I have) and I did the same thing as u dhdbdbdb(also, nice pfp and name, _gogy enjoyer_ )
I feel like adhd has turned me into an unmotivated loser for life. I can never focus on the important things, and I feel like im falling into a hole thats becoming harder and harder to climb out of.
preach bro😂 ay think about all the other adhd people here we all sharing the same feelings (in general?). if you need someone to talk to hmu. stay safe man
head up, its hard but you can do it i believe in you=>
@@Argentin0777 head up, its hard but you can do it i believe in you=>
True and sucks even more when people out there don't understand you and just throw labels at yah making you feel worse, but I'm not saying this to make you agree with yourself, it's ok to feel that way, just don't let the ADHD label to become an excuse, you just have to work harder than everyone else, Howie Mandel has ADHD too and he's famous, if he can become something in life, you can to, Don't let ADHD define you, become the person you want to be and work towards it, you have to fall before you can stand up only weak people stay on the ground, but you must stand and walk forward!!
You too huh?
Yes ADHD is 'relatable' to most people, because most of the symptoms are things we all may experience from time to time. With ADHD we experience these things so strongly and so often that it affects our lives every day, some days are good and some days we can barely function. It is a disorder when it is disrupting your life.
Yes I have adhd, and it’s kind of annoying seeing people in these comments saying they might have it… because some people do experience some but not as much is people who actually have adhd, and they say they can relate to EVERY SINGLE ONE but adhd is different between male and females
Yes! I relate to a lot said in the video but I'm not diagnosed, also my friend is diagnosed with ADHD and we are quite different in this game is the form if distractions or hyper focus.
@Merlinde Brink i don’t think it works like that… it’s normal for people to say stuff when doing the things related to the topic
Mine does disrupt my life but doctors don't care enough to actually diagnose me
@@SinfulRainbow I'm sorry to hear that, assuming you still want to try for a diagnosis then definitely try to see if you can get a second opinion if there is anyone else you can go to and if you have the money for it. If not, I highly suggest you watch videos/read forums and articles to get tips and advice anyway and see if any of it can help make your life even the slightest bit easier in the meantime! (If you aren't already doing that).
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and can relate to a lot of these, especially mood swings. I sometimes would go from calm and happy to suddenly furious, and then a minute later I'm about to cry.
I have a love hate relationship with my hyperfocus. I love being able to focus on something and learn everything about it for hours on end but hate not being able to tear myself away from it and have it affect my work and relationships.
right it makes me feel so bad when people think i’m ignoring them or being passive aggressive with short responses cause i’m hyper focused :/ or when i hyper focus on cleaning and organizing my whole room and closet instead of doing my homework
Same! I also realised that sometimes you tend to "hyperfocus" on fears or worries. Also really hard to tear away from. It's really exhausting.
YES! It feels like addiction sometimes
Yes, hyperfocus can be a double-edged sword! And we can't just easily switch it on and off.
The worst part of it is probably forgetting to care of yourself lol. I always forget to eat or sleep or do ther stuff I was supposed to. Dunno if I have ADHD but I definitely hyper focus a lot.

Same here but I’ve never been diagnosed
to everyone saying self diagnosis is a horrible thing to do. take into consideration that diagnosis isnt a right but a privilege. not everyone is in the financial state where they are able to get a diagnosis or if theyre a minor the people around them may not allow them to get diagnosed. im not saying that you can go around diagnosing yourself with no reason but keep this in mind when you shame someone for not having a diagnosis.
fr, i have severe anxiety but was told "oh we don't want to put a label on it" which restricts me from proper care and medication. we love the NZ mental health system :))
I had to "self diagnose" in order to see a psychiatrist and eventually get an official diagnosis. I did months of research. Well-researched self assessment is a good thing.
Dont go around saying you have a disorder if you don't have a diagnosis it can really annoy people who actually have been diagnosed bc your just guessing

I never got diagnosed but through out my whole childhood, teachers will often ask questions if I have ADHD when I was very little. My mom would yell at them saying I’m perfectly healthy normal child. I found out a few years later half of my family is diagnosed with ADHD, even my own little brother. I’m now going to college, and a teacher told me I need to get properly diagnosed.
HAHA. Sounds a lot like me! Accept I still have NO idea if I have adhd cause my family thinks I’m perfect and that only my lil sister has
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m thankfully getting a diagnosis in October, but when I was young people would write me off as chatty/hyperactive and I’d get in trouble a lot, but no one ever mentioned anything. My mom gaslit me about it, first saying I might have it, then saying I didn’t, then mentioning I had it and when I told her she said I didn’t have it, she said “it’s just not as bad as yor brothers, I never said that.) just recently out of my 17 years figured out BOTH of my brothers have it INCLUDING my mom (and my dad shows a lot of symptoms but never bothered to get tested). Thankfully they finally listened after me pestering for over 5 years, and my therapist and counselors advocating for me. I hope all goes well for you though!
Same, in the 5th grade, my teacher gave my mom a whole referral to get me checked out for ADHD and instead, my mom ignored it. Years later; I’m getting really bad symptoms and she’s talking about how it’s a mental illness that’ll ruin my life if I get it diagnosed so 😐
Yeah, sounds like you might wanna get that checked and correctly diagnosed. I've been seeing the same psychiatrist for like 20yrs, and my whole life I've suspected I had ADD or ADHD, but we were more focused on my anxiety and severe depression! I guess it's time I asked! Take care all! ✌🏻😁
Idk who to go to. I just turned 20 but been showing signs since childhood. Most people only diagnose under 18
I’ve had my ADHD diagnosis for 7 years, your videos over it have helped me understand myself more. Thank you
After or for?
@@namanpant7464 after my diagnoses, they’ve helped be better understand and find ways to cope with it 😊
For someone with ADHD, there’s something that we all probably hear,
“Just learn to control it”
That phrase can make someone want to kill someone.
I have ADHD and I have no idea what the problem is. It's the truth, you need to learn to control it. It's not a mental illness, you're just slightly different.
ADHD can't be controlled sadly, I've lived 12 years of my life without knowing and now that I do I get bullied even more , saying just control it freak, its a very hard thing to control, the only thing you can rlly do is hide it
Yeah it’s always fucked me up. After hearing that I can help it so many times I just gave up. I don’t know how to help it and I got sick of adults in group therapy asking other kids what they thought of my attitude. Wish I was diagnosed, maybe then I’d have had a therapist that knew what they were doing.
I had it when I was a child and when I turn 18 my dad would be like oh your brain has improved there's nothing wrong with you it's your video games. He is not a doctor. And thinks oh you don't have it because it doesn't affect you when your playing video games
Lol I know how you feel! I’ve been told this too many times
I don't wanna self diagnose, but I can relate to every single one of these.
If you want to figure out. My sister who got diagnosed she said its best to check in with a therapist. It will help you and learn about it more
Then don’t self dx. Go to a psychologist
EDIT- don’t hit me w the “DiAgNosIs iS a PrIviLedGe” I understand that but if you can’t get one then you can’t get one, I’m sorry. Is it rly that hard to say “I think I have ____?” It’s not. Self dx is also dangerous, as you might have an actual condition which you may misdiagnose (for example, you mistake your heart problems for anxiety bc Dr. Google told u it’s anxiety, and bc you never got your heart checked you die)
@@kat3217 not everyone can always diagnose. they either dont have the financial support or are not allowed to, especially for minors. obviously its not good to self diagnose for no good reason or for attention, but a person should be allowed to say “its very likely that i have ADHD” and not be harassed online for not being able to get a professional diagnosis.
@@person-eh6rr yeah I agree, it’s ok to say “I think I might have ___” but u should not go around saying “I have ___” if you’re not even diagnosed. It’s That simple
self diagnosis is always the first step towards actual diagnosis! personally i dont see any issues with self diagnosing when its for yourself and not to "brag" about it like a lot of kids do :)
Reminder to people who are looking to see if they have adhd: you might find these relatable but the symptoms are common. It’s the INTENSITY of it that’s abnormal. (Edit: this clearly isn’t abt people who know Jesus Christ y’all)
what does that mean
@@jess.m9 basically you might have some of these symptoms but it depends how bad they are like do you constantly have these systems or no?

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 6. Now I think 💭 my dad has ADHD because he showed the symptoms. Thank you 😊 Psych2go for making this video 📼.
Im constantly being called lazy and half arsed because i dont have the motivation to do things. I have a lot of trouble focusing and keeping my mind on one task. I forget very easily, and I usually get a bit of a lecture about it. “Just remember then.” “Stop fidgeting.” “Pay attention.” “Stop doing that.” “Are you ignoring me?” Its getting really difficult right now, and i dont know what to do. Im always worried what others think about me, and sometimes i even make up lies to seem like a cooler, better person. Its so stressful, its really interfearing with my education. But my parents arent really big believers in disabilities, and think the whole spectrum thing is bullshit. And i get annoyed by the smallest things, like one minute im happy, i then get annoyed and angry by the smallest thing, and then im sad because i feel bad, although i did nothing wrong? Its really annoying me, sorry for this little vent, i really needed this. I do not have ADHD, but latley i have seen videos like these and am starting to wonder, “is this me?” Sorry for this big ass paragraph
No need to apologize ! Thank you for sharing your feelings :)
I think I have similar situations where I feel little to no motivation at all to do tasks (even eating healthily seems often difficult). Recently I noticed how I could go from satisfied or content to disappointed and ashamed in the same day while socializing. And I can't stop thinking about what I did wrong in the day and reminscing old memories where I found myself unattractive or hateful. I can't get peace in my mind when I don't do something or I can't focus on a simple thing because I suddenly feel the need to review these old memories again when... I'm not supposed to? It's confusing and I can't totally move on from my mistakes and actions from before. I thought facing them but how? Do other normal people do that?
At this point I think therapy is needed because I need clear answers about my behaviour and unhealthy state of mind.
And sorry for my mistakes I haven't wrote in english in a long time lol
Hi! idk if it is same to me but da thing is
i do not know if i have adhd
i think so
dats why i tried to get diagnosed
but my MUM thinks im acting and its starting to piss me off how each thing we have with a doctor, the first guy said that there is no shit i do not have ADHD
my psychologist said he thinks i do not have ADHD since my problems were the exams and the stress about them, thats what i talked to him about always
the third guy said dat, uhh , said dat he recomends another guy
and dat other guy said that we needed to meet 6 MORE TIMES
And why didnt my mom just go to the second meeting with the first doctor? in irl?
cuz she wants second opinions
and beetween these meetings, there are 1 or 2 months so
shes just like hey he thinks he has adhd cuz her sister has it
MY SISTER TOOK ONLY 1 WEEK TO DIAGNOSE THAS JUST AMAZING LOOOL
i know these stuff are worth money, so thats something i should be pacient with, but it would be better if we just got into da next meeting with the first doctor cuz she would spend less money so
no reason about that i guess
Wa-wa-wait i just wrote a whole text to awnser a comment? same size as a comment im still writing? dis is ironic and weir- AM I ACTING? i have questions
I understand you’re struggles. I was diagnosed with ADHD and other disorders in my second year of Elementary. The thing that helps me the most with focus is by playing with my rings during my sessions. I also enjoy doodling while listening to the lecture. Some days when I really can’t focus I like to give my brain a break and close my eyes. To help my memory improve I would say my locker combination out loud the right way then backwards.
No worries! I feel the same exact why but I don’t know what to do either. But if you know your parents will listen tell them or search for way you can solve your problems.😁👍🏾
i'm really glad i'm not the only one on this floating rock that feels that way. like literally every. ficking. word. felt that. and like a lot of the times i just forget to eat. like not on purpose i just forget. you literally made my day by that knowing i'm not alone! like seriously ty

Me, having just finished putting it in 1.5x and scrolling into this comment: 👁👄👁
one thing i think is really interesting is how often young girls aren’t diagnosed with adhd. as kids boys being loud and disruptive is respected and “boys will be boys” and they get diagnosed and taken care of, but with girls they’re told to mask it, stay quiet, therefore they’re heavily under diagnosed. idk i just thought that was kinda interesting
I have such bad ADD, and dyscalculia that the lady who tested me, called the percentile I was in Bless Your Heart Range. I wasn't diagnosed until about 3ish weeks ago. The entire time before then, i just thought it was normal to jump around from idea to idea, look like you're focused but really be daydreaming about what I'm gonna eat for dinner and breakfast. I had no idea what it was like for my brain to just stop " buzzing". All my teachers used to think I was just lazy and didn't put in effort, little did they know, i was going to tutors 3x a week, and couldn't piece together information. :) I had lovely teachers. ( sorry not ADD, thats my brother, I have ADHD Inattentive, It's a variant of ADHD)
I rarely hear boys will be boys irl and my parents and siblings get mad when I talk slightly above normal tone so yeah
Fr. My brother was suspected of having adhd when he was young and he was able to check with a doctor but when i showed the same symptoms, i was just told that i was being lazy?
yes! exactly! also love the name and profile! dream smp supremacy!!!! they seriously get me through a lot tho(the dream smp)
I don't even know how to approach my parents with ANY of my obvious psychological issues. I don't know how I'd talk about suspecting adhd if I can't talk about extremely obvious anxiety and some other issues I suspect.
I can't really control myself and my mom keeps telling me "you're supposed to be smart, so why are you acting so pathetic and stupid?"
And I usually can't explain, how I do what I do.
You are more than your academic level, which is also probably really good. My parents would whip me harshly for getting bad grades but I couldn’t focus because of bullying, lack of sleep and being hungry. Those factors had a party with my ADHD almost everyday at school. The one thing that helped me focus better is, during my downtime, reading and practicing something I enjoyed, like drawing skills and conspiracies (haha!) Stuff that makes me apply myself, y’know? Sorry your mom treats you awfully like that
It seems like you're in a really toxic environment and if you do have ADHD this is putting a lot of mental stress on you
@@angelina7891 I really am in a toxic environment, but I have to live with it for some time before I'll be able to safely move out

As a person with diagnosed ADHD u have to remember that ADHD is different for different people. It is different between wemon and men, children and adults, or every personalitys can change a person's ADHD. Some people with ADHD need to be organized while others can't keep organized. Just remember that everyone is different and just because a person doesn't look like they have ADHD doesn't mean they don't have it
My friend was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I was so surprised because she definitely doesn't act like it. But now that I think about it it actually makes sense

I’m not allowed to have a therapist so I’ve been seeing my school therapist without my parents knowledge. I watch these videos for educational purposes because I know people that have things like BPD and ADD/ADHD and so forth, so I like to learn about them so I don’t step out of line with them, but this is something I am most concerned about for me. My whole life I’ve been told to “pay attention”, “stop spacing out”, “quit fidgeting”, “do one thing at a time”, “how is your room already a mess”, “why are these assignments not done yet” it just goes on an on and I been like that since I can remember. I’ve tried saying it’s not my fault, because I didn’t know why all this was happening, I’ve lost a lot of friends because they think I’m selfish or that I don’t pay attention to or care about them and it just makes it worse. I had to rewatch parts of this video because I kept spacing of to something else or forgetting what the narrator was talking about there’s so many things that I can’t even explain and it feels like everything is just crumbling away right below till I fall and I don’t get back up.. because of this everyone is always mad at me and constantly asking me what I think I want and need and I don’t know.

@@etheliminal crazy right? I didn’t know till like the end of my last school year
@@aiyanakg ohh! Your so lucky 😀
@@etheliminal yeah most skls should have someone in charge of speaking to you if you have mental difficulties
ik how u feel :( ive been going through the same, though im allowed since it happened due to bullying and having a disabled sister they know that i have troubles etc and because of my mental health getting affected even when im starting to get better, my "therapist" thinks i have a mental disability and because my sisters autistic its most likely adhd apparently. ik how it feels, and its even scarier when it starts to sink in and you're like damn.. im a bit scared.. but you finally find out why youve been having these difficulties and youre relieved but scared cause its like oh no.. what about the future and how will this affect me.. (also irrelevant but aaa i loveee ur sakura pfp i see so many ppl who hate her and finally i see someone who doesntttt)
My high school kept constantly contacting my dad throughout the years saying “you need to get your daughter tested we can see she’s struggling” and he kept getting angry at them each time saying “ no she hasn’t I’m not getting her tested” now I’m struggling so much to function properly as an adult, if I’d of gotten the help I needed as a child I would’ve probably been able to finish school and not fail, and obviously if you fail school you most likely will end up with a standard minimum wage job, idk I feel like it ruined me a little
I'm sorry to hear that. In my case, I'm kind of grateful I wasn't diagnosed at an early age because a lot of people would have doubted my ability to finish school. When I got diagnosed for a learning disability in college, a college counselor for people with disabilities didn't think I could complete a degree I wanted to pursue so I ended up taking something else. After I got diagnosed with ADHD my mom didn't think I could have a regular job. She wanted me to look for a job best suited for ADHD people. Personally, that made me feel worse because I know I am pretty capable. I've even been evaluated on my skills at a center. I did pretty good. It's just hard sometimes. But I can also see how it can be bad to be diagnosed with ADHD so late. I mean, I was in my 30s when it happened. I didn't get the help I needed too but I also think of all the medication I would've taken.
My school district never cared like my mom put me in all these things to help, they never did it
Its horrible that your parent never helped you, but sitting on it wont either. While what you said might be true, it would be best if you focus and set your mind on the small things you can do to help yourself and make life a bit easier and more doable right now. :) I know im late to your comment, but i just wanted to tell you that. Hope it helped?
I’m quite young compared to you. My mother also has mental disorders such as bipolar disorder and my grandma never had her put on meds and she’s not physically okay a lot of the time because of that.
She understands the fact that I need meds and thankfully doesn’t ignore my health like her mother did to her. I hope you’re doing okay.

i've already knew i had ADHD but i didn't know that was that means in English. my family was aware of that so they took me a doctor when i was little so they find out i had. But i never realized that my social problems might had been caused of it. i really appreciate that you made this video. it might help a lot. I'm sure more ADHD people would love to whatch this video too! this made me realize so many things i weren't aware while doing them.
The problem with "one solution is writing down (...)" is that I can't focus enough to write down things.
or write once then forget about it and never do it again
Or Read It later ,or find It beofre Reading it

Alright, so here's how my day has went so far:
1. Stay awake for at least 12 hours before even thinking about actually being productive
2. Randomly decide you want to learn the ENTIRE dragon language from the video game Skyrim, and spend about an hour learning proper pronunciation but specifically the direct translation of words from that language into your own
3. Attempt to start virtual work for high school, and promptly forget it and watch TH-cam
4. Remember dragon language, become fascinated in it again
5. Back to TH-cam spontaneously, watch a bunch of Shorts, then find this video
Edit: I will be on medication soon for potentially ADD. More testing needs to be done, and don't be fooled, this process is tedious and long. To be diagnosed to the point where something is done, they have to figure out and map your full psyche, and do testing with medication and so on. Many, many steps are required for anything of value to be done.
Edit 2: I have ADD. I am currently on Adderall, but it's at such a high dosage that I'd die of exhaustion or starvation from its side effects, but other than that it makes me relatively normal (assuming normal is almost superhuman when those aspects of my brain are unhindered). Also, all that bullshit about "mapping your psyche" is completely wrong, I just assumed that because of the articles I read and my ignorance of the actual process, they did a lot more than they actually ended up doing. In reality, they just did some screenings for symptoms of ADD/ADHD and then trial-and-errored until the desired effects were achieved (still an ongoing process but this one works as a tool).
God why do I relate to this so much...
@@LadyEllesmere Yep. ADHD testing is hard to get jsyk, so you might wanna push for it if you want to get tested for it.

I was just diagnosed with ADHD today! My previous diagnosis were OCD and a tic disorder, turns out it was just ADHD that I heavily masked for most of my life because I grew up in an abusive household where my parents bullied me about my ADHD traits, especially the hyperactivity. I feel like I finally understand why my time management, organization, and motivation skills have always been so bad no matter how hard I've tried to improve. So much makes sense now!
I wish you the best if Luck😘 I know it's not easy to grow up in an abusive household. Aim for amazing goals and be proud of yourself for every step you take towards that💝
This is what I also lived through. Parents were mentally abusive and alcoholic narcissist so gaslighting and mental abuse were motivated by my careless forgetfulness, mistakes, inattentiveness, and disorganization.
i got all 3 of those i got ocd ADHD and ticks school is so hard
im pretty sure i have adhd and my parents both always say bad things about these symptons when it happens to me
@@clarabrooner2077 find a better family member. Your parents don’t deserve a kid
What my parents don’t realize is that there are different types of ADHD. Me, I have inattentive ADHD. And watching this even when I am diagnosed has helped me understand it more considering I struggle with all of these.
I would get called “Lazy” or doing half of The work. Or just not being able to clean my room efficiently, weather it’s only a little dirty or more severe. Again, this video actually helped me learn about more of my symptoms so thank you for making this video!

I have both.
I have these little phases where I will focus on something for a week straight and then completely abandoned it
I have this problem like that but with my passions. One week I will love dubstep and want to produce it. Then I’ll hit a 3 day confusion period where I don’t know myself, and then I’ll get obsessed with metal music, then after that I’ll get obsessed with liminal spaces and trying to make them. I never can finish any project that I start because I end up not liking it anymore
Same. One week i play some random game and enjoy it, then i just never play it again
BRO SAME. I will say the same things idk why like a random word or phrase and keep saying it lol
BROOOOO OMG I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST MEEE!!! i didnt know later that it was actually a sign of adhd but i used to be obsessed with some things for like a few weeks, and then suddenly, i just stop?
exactly me (but with different passions)
One day I want to program a game in C++, then I forget about it for a while, and I think about this wouldbuilding project I had, so I start documenting but then I think it is annoying without a computer (I didn't have acces to my computer), And now I am, or maybe not anymore, in that robotics project...
Idk if I have ADHD, but english is a cool language, my keaboard is noisy and my familly is sleeping.
I actually did not know what adhd was!! One of my guy friends told me to look into it as I am extremely impulsive and have issues focusing. I have frequent mood swings. And i experience it a lot. Like a LOT and i am so glad he did! Now all I have to do is somehow tell my parents.
I hate it when neurotypical people say to neurodivirgent people, "just make a planner and lists to get more organised" BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK. Here's some advise from a neurodivirgent person: people with ADHD, try not taking your shoes off when you get home to stay in the flow of things, and maybe then you might actually do the dishes.
THANK YOU OMG legit my parents are like, "write down your thoughts :DD" "Use a planner it will help" NO no it doesn't help because it feels like an extra unnecessary task i have to accomplish when instead i could sit here and look at my ceiling in a state of emotion turmoil. Writing in a journal or keeping a diary are to long term for them to be able to help me, it has to be one step at a time and i hate that people cant seem to understand that.
Yeah, I agree. The amount of times my school told me, ''MaKe a PLaNner to StudY'' made me want to punch a wall. [I never studied qwq] but there's something that works for me. Keep a pack of sticky notes and/ or a small notebook, like small. Because they're small items, it feels like I CAN just write down something real fast and not ruin the flow of my day.
Shbdh wbdh absolute genius
thats what i always do and it helps
the shoes thing not the planner cause those never help
Guys this video ain’t about self diagnosing, it’s about looking at clues to see if you should go to a specialist to get tested for it!!
I will get a specialist to help me when im older so im really sure thag im not just overthinking

@@brockivory5405 ok?
One thing I've learned having been diagnosed with both ADHD and Anxiety, is that the procrastination comes from the ADHD, and the worry about how I have no motivation to do things until last minute is the Anxiety. They work against each other in that way.

I'm diagnosed with ADHD , some people think I always lie about this disorder. And I talk a lot so people get really quickly annoyed with me. But I hope you have a great day to these who read my comment!
As someone who has ADHD let me say this, when we take medication we don’t just stop having ADHD for a certain period of time, instead what the medication does is strengthen your hyper focus which will keep you on task but will also make it difficult to do anything other than that task. It might be different depending on who you are and what medication you take but that’s just what I see most often.
Or like it did to me just turn you into a zombie that just wants to sleep and vomit
I don't sleep and don't eat on meds
To be honest, I don't even know if those meds do anything.
@@apocro. It could be that your on a lower dose but I’m just talking from my experience so there’s a good chance it’s different for you

the hyper focus thing is so true- i got diagnosed a while ago with severe adhd and i sat down on the couch today to watch AOT and i was gonna watch like 1 or 2 episodes and i ended up watching 2 seasons of it- I GOT OFF THE COUCH 7-8 HOURS LATER
I’ve done this many times
Isn’t that normal?
@@lisanne5225 I think we view it as normal because many people do it, but what if it isn't?
One word: SASAGEYO,
SASAGEYO,
I am diagnosed with ADHD and I can say it is a personal hell. Your mind races so fast some of your thoughts will even shock you. You get pointed out for doing things like talking fast or tapping your foot or for me ( making weird noises with your mouth) it makes me super self conscious and brings down my self esteem sometimes… I feel like I have to try so much harder to do things some people have no problem doing simply because I CANT FOCUS AT ALL. I start doing one thing and I end up starting like 4 other things in my process. There has definitely been times I’ve broken down and cried and hated myself but.. I try and look at the positives, I can multitask really well because I can’t focus on one thing at a time so multiple things actually (ironically) makes it easier. I feel like I’m getting that “flow” some people are able to easily get. I’ve taken medication and it helps but it can cause you to become dependent because it helps so much if you don’t take it or if you lose it you start to notice your ADHD tendencies A LOT more. It makes you feel dumb but hey I’m here to tell you, you aren’t alone. There are others out there struggling in silence. Some don’t even know they have it but we can support eachother and try and understand eachother and we can do this. Keep going no matter what.
ADHD is like a superpower that you can’t turn off.

I can definitely relate to you. ADHD is a living hell. I was diagnosed in first grade and I've come up with ways to help stop myself from doing these things unintentionally. I overthink ALOT and it prevents me from doing stuff, but as I said, I have ways around it. Stay strong! We'll get through this together!

Me and my sister have adhd and asd, and I hear this all the time. Especially since my sister is 3 years younger than me, and is therefore a teenager. The people that's supposed to be professionals, and have to help her (because she's a "child"), keeps going on and on about routine and planning, even though they know her brain doesn't work like that. Adhd and asd is a wierd combo, and in our way, routine doesn't help. They don't understand how a routine can also be flexible and isn't necessarily only one way, and they are the ones who are supposed to know this. It confuses me so much, like just let us be in peace without having to hear routine, routine and routine on repeat.
Sorry for the little rant if anyone reads this😅 Also sorry for my english and grammar, I'm not a native speaker 😊
hdjsjsjsj when psych2go says “organize and prioritize” when thats literally like a huge part of the thing that its like impossible to do-
I dont have adhd, but im kinda impulsive so i just do tasks depending on mood & dislike organization so much

I was diagnosed at 37. To me it was a major relief. I have always been told I was stupid and lazy, and learning that I wasn't was a major relief to me. I also learned afterwards why I'm so prone to overworking myself to a point where I mentally break down... There are many positive things about me that I attribute to my ADHD, but by the gods, there are many negatives too....
The problem is someone who doesn't have ADHD can look at these symptoms and come to the conclusion that they have it where they only show mild symptoms or "normal" behaviour. For example I see myself in a lot of these, especially disorganisation, impulsivity and unmotivated but I don't believe I have ADHD (although I've never been checked and because I did well in school and a have never been hyperactive I never will)
It's important to understand that showing signs is not the same as having a mental/behavioural disability (or however its classed) and you should never self diagnose anything
Thank you, that's exactly what I thought, just that I don't wanna be disrespectful to who has adhd so I just try not to think that I have, im weird i know
“Self diagnosing” means nothing for MOST NORMAL PEOPLE that aren’t buying illegal drugs. You still have to go through a battery of tests and professional help to diagnose and treat. Acknowledging and being honest with health care professionals is a GOOD THING.
add exists, and you don't need to do poorly at school to have add/adhd
I have ADHD and have always done extremely well in school and I do experience almost all of the symptoms explained in the video. I also have never been hyperactive because hyperactivity is one of the three types of ADHD. There’s hyperactive, inattentive, and a combination of the two. The type I have is inattentive, it’s a lot harder to diagnose and is more presented in the female sex (which I am). A lot of people who have inattentive type ADHD, don’t get diagnosed until they’ve reached adulthood (especially when they do well in school) because it’s not nearly as visible compared to hyperactivity. The only reason I got diagnosed so early on is because I recognized some of those symptoms and out of curiosity I asked my parents if I could get a diagnosis just to be sure. Turns out I did! I got prescribed a medication and take it every morning before I go to school, it’s helped so much and has made life easier for the better. Hope this reply helps you! :)
I have it and it made life a living hell in school
I was diagnosed as ADHD as a child, dropped out of HS because I couldn’t focus, and joined the army. I still have a hard time, was diagnosed with BP1 and PTSD, and OCD. Now, 19 years later, I am enrolled in college and almost finished with my BSc, then onto my Masters degree! You can do it! It’s hard sometimes, but you can reach out and ask for help! Someone will understand! My college granted me an accommodation for ADHD, so I have more time for assignments and tests. Thank you for your videos!

Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD can lead to depression. Depression has similar symptoms, but it will worsen the ADHD symptoms. I was diagnosed with depression first and treating it didn't fix anything, but I kept going to the doctor and asking for help (don't be ashamed to ask for help!) and when we talked about ADHD, that's when it finally made sense.
Can't Afford it in Guyana🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾, go figure😣
My school and therapist diagnosed me
I was diagnosed with adhd a couple years back, and I have every single symptom on this list instead of the mood swings one.
This story is kinda long so my bad 🤷♀️
As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD I was crying watching this video because I only saw the video as of how different I am from normal people. when I was a kid in elementary school I was never able to make friends as easily as other people because of my ADHD (ADHD can affect everyone differently this is just how it was for me). I always struggled with socializing with other people I would struggle to talk them and Learn more about them. So as a kid I only grew up with 2 friends at most at a time and even after time those friends left me because they couldn’t understand (They told me that they didn’t think I cared because I talked so much about other things). So not only did I lose the only friends I ever had I also had bad grades and wasn’t musically or athletically talent either. I went Into a small depression after awhile. I started to hate myself so much, I though I was complete garbage and a waste of air. So after a while (yes a whole year and a half of being alone) I finally worked up the courage to find new friends that I could hangout with and thank God I found 2 new friends, but then the pandemic hit. But still I tried to stay friends with these people because I didn’t want to be alone. So when the school year started again I would have friends to hangout with and not be alone. Now it’s been 4 years and I still have the same 2 friends I made before the pandemic they understand me and I couldn’t be more grateful. Sometimes there just needs to be bad before there’s good.
I know how you feel, if you need someone to talk to i'm available! :)
@1Casey Lopez i don't know if i have adhd but... i agree with the comment up, I'm still struggling with socializing and befriending people, my focusing is really bad still... i got alot of bad grades and got my mother disappointed in me, always have the "i will finish this task first" but end up either forgetting it or do another tasks, I'm always forgetful people complain about how bad i am at doing anything even myself, i struggle with this alot since i was a kid and still..

This hit close to home. I'm a highschool student as of now and I was diagnosed with ADHD at 5 years old (which is amazing fact considered I'm a female). I have always struggled with staying interested in school and tend to get in trouble for skipping ahead on my work. I also had bad grades last year and the year before because I hated wasting my time on homework when I could draw, practice playing trumpet or watch anime. It got to the point where I'd get all of the things for my hobbies taken away until I did my work. But thankfully in highschool grades are weighted and homework only counts for 5% of my grade.
I definitely need to get tested because this is exactly how my life went like Word for Word it’s crazy. It was so hard for me it’s still really hard I’m so sorry you had to go through these struggles
I’ve been in a relationship with someone who has ADHD and Depression.
So this really helps me to comprehend and even be aware of what’s going on around him.
Anyway I keep helping and praying for him including everyone who have it. 😇
Have a great day everyone!
And may God bless us all 🥰

Education is always the best thing to do when you are with a partner who has a issue that you may or may not fully understand. I'm certain they'll appreciate that too.

I’ve looked through lots of ADHD videos and I relate to most of the symptoms or signs people list so I wanna tell my parents that I want to get a diagnosis. Unfortunately, I don’t want them to say ‘But you are normal’ or ‘you don’t have ADHD’ but it worth telling them so maybe behaviours will make sense.
Edit: Sorry for making this comment come across as self-diagnosis. I would never and I don’t want to put myself and others in danger. I’m so very sorry!
@@LinoFloors thanks for telling me that! I’m hoping in the future to get diagnosed (I haven’t got an appointment I mean far future) I’m also finding ways to handle some things. Deadlines are still a problem though
@@LinoFloors my dad does the same to me
it is indeed important to go to a psychiatric to check it out, anxiety and depression has some similar symptoms of adhd, those being lack of interest and attention, thats why you cant just diagnose yourself.
my parents are the exact same they just say its made up
keep trying until they budge thats all i can recommend
The only video which actually supports my concern from this channel!
Do you ever just forget something exists? Like for exemple I wanna eat a snack but I finish a game before I do and next thing you know is that I realize a week later that I still haven't eaten the snack.
Oh ! I have that too and I recently found out that's called object permanence. When something is out of sight you forget it's existence. A person without ADHD will probably remember it but those with ADHD struggle with object permanence.
holy fucking shit all the time. i feel so frustrated because on most mornings i forget to bring my phone upstairs after eating since whenever i had online classes, i’d be in class while eating breakfast. and then i’d have to go back downstairs to get it. plus i keep forgetting which cup i drank from (i have a lot of siblings and we have the same looking glasses) so i ask my siblings if they know which cup i used, but sometimes they don’t know either.
it’s little things like these that get me so annoyed with myself, always forgetting things and losing stuff. my life feels so hectic as i relate to these symptoms in the video and i tried telling my mom i think i have adhd and wanna get diagnosed but she hasn’t said anything yet :[
im not diagnosed but that happened in a test and i probs failed
This must be a thing right?? I keep forgetting to throw away trash or wash my piled up laundry just bcuz i didn't notice them even if they're all in my room. Those are just some examples...

I am almost entirely certain I have ADHD based on all the research I have done on it, and it has really been impacting my life. I haven't gotten it checked out yet because the main thing I'm scared of is telling my parents. I know it is for my mental status and things like that and there is nothing for them to get mad at me about, but I'm pretty sure they won't do a thing about it. I have already told my parents that I might have ADHD and I told them a while ago, but they just laughed at me and said I don't have it. And I agree, I was stupid to think I had ADHD back then because I had done little to no research about it, but I don't know if that is going to happen again. I'm scared they are just going to laugh at me again like they did last time and that all the research I did about it will be useless and a waste of time. I really don't want to talk with them about it much either because they don't believe in a lot of things, especially some mental illnesses or other things of that sort. What should I do because I think this problem is going to weigh down on me more and more the more I ignore it.
I did my research on ADHD after not being able to understand why I had such an hard time doing A N Y T H I N G: I knew it couldn't be depression because I have also experienced it, and I've only noticed worsening of my traits/symptoms that I experience daily, and this since childhood. After almost an year, I was sure: it was ADHD. I self-diagnosed with ADHD because I related with every single thing, and everything applied to me.
After coming to that conclusion, I started searching for places where they could diagnose ADHD, but most places were all booked or reserved to children. I'm still struggling with being undiagnosed and having to deal with myself, but since I was tired of struggling to no end, I've decided to try following ADHD-focused pages, and I have to say: they really helped a lot, because their tips were actually working for me, and their explanation on things I experienced (and still experience) was a relief in many cases, as I wasn't wrong or broken, but rather different, and in many other cases it helped me understand myself better and work on methods and tips on how to deal with everyday life and tasks.
My suggestion is: try searching for ADHD pages and channels, even if you're not (medically diagnosed as) ADHD, and see if they have suggestions that work for you. Remember, an ADHD brain is generally low on dopamine, which is the hormone for satisfaction, so try to take it in consideration when you want to do a task, and find ways to make the task enjoyable, or at least doable and bearable. Try also not to beat yourself down too much if you even struggle starting a chore. I believe in you :)

@@stopminormutilation i really want to try see if i can get a diagnosis, but my parents will not believe me, and will think i’m joking or doing it for attention :/ doctors aren’t always an option. not saying i’m diagnosing myself or anything, i haven’t looked into it a lot
The self diagnosed Emily: Watch me.
Also keep in mind people: self diagnosis is valid and you are not making it all up ♥️
i relate to most of these symptoms, and the possibility of me having adhd has been in my mind for the past 6 months tbh
however i believe im just overlooking things or being dramatic, since this could just be me and my normal everyday behavior):
thank you very much for making such informative vid tho, it’s very appreciated !
Be sure to get it checked out! You're valid to me ^^
Just be you!
Don't be a lifeless robot!
I mean, it may help to consider that ADHD isn't something separate from your everyday life. If these fit your everyday behavior, it only increases the likelihood of ADHD. Everyone may experience some of these symptoms sometime in their lives, but when it occurs on a regular basis at an extreme, that's when we consider it to be ADHD.
I feel the same way, I’ve been thinking about the symptoms I might be showing and all I can think of is ADHD . I Need to probably get it checked out but am scared I might not have and that’s just who I am

Thank you for the video. You did however miss a big one - bad time management ( or "time blindness" ). It is very common for ADHD and it really is a big one, it does affect everyday life a lot.
Also, stimulants like caffeine actually calm you down when you have ADHD and things that make other people sleepy like a sleeping aid can make you hyper.
Yup! Too much good coffee+ comfort = out cold.
Ironically for me coffee made more hyperactive but with soda it made me more sleepy.
I keep getting that "this explains everything" moment every single time i come across something about ADHD.
I always drink monster energy before pe cuz it makes me happy and active. I don't tire out so fast, and can let all my energy out. A con is that sometimes I'm TOO energetic. I scream, jump around and kinda anoy my classmates. But I only relize that after pe when I'm home and thinking "Well that was fucking dumb"
That's why I only drink coke a cola when I want to go to sleep
