Don't worry, same here. Just relax and just don't try to fit anywhere you're much more able and emotional and good just Don't compare yourself with anyone because if a peacock will try to be a chicken then he will just water himself doing nothing but just self disrespect. Thanks by.
The third one, the fog. It's actually surreal hearing that described by someone else. After all these years of dealing with that, I almost started to feel like I was gaslighting myself or something.
YES. I spent years thinking what is wrong with me and now that tiktok is full of those videos of describing (mostly false or unreasonable) symptoms i just thought okay so im faking it because im unable to do anything so i am using this for an excuse. But since I started "research", looking on professional stuff and not random people on tiktok, EVERYTHING started to make sense and hearing the discriprions, such as the fog, or paralysis made me understand everything. there is nothing wrong with me, my brain just works differently.

I have ADD and have experienced everything you spoke of. It's debilitating and affects my self esteem. I have been tackling home projects by focusing on one simple thing for a limited time, allowing breaks. Yard projects, finishing one thing before starting another, even if it takes weeks or months depending on weather. It is helping. Still working on finding a good fit for employment. Easily overwhelmed by too much stimulation and too many people.
Same. Easy overwhelmed by too many people, lights, sounds, vehicles 😑. I just started getting a little bit physically active and am nowhere close to tackling this. Hope I can start soon. Wishing you peace, calm and strength.
I'm an 18 year old girl and I haven't been diagnosed yet but I need to look into HOW I can becuase this video describes my life perfectly. I'm tired of my parents not understanding how my brain works!
Heii, I'm too in the process of finding out I probably have adhd and for me it really helped (even if it sounds stupid of doctors nowadays bc somehow a lot of them say it's a trend diagnosis, when just through social meida more people learn) anyways, for me it really helped to watch more content on tiktok, insta, youtube, Podcasts. Listen to people that have it, I see myself in a lot and now it all makes sense. My life makes sense Still not diagnosed but I'm pretty sure this is the thing that is my problem (from differnt mental health disorders like anxiety & depression, I was diagnosed before ‐ look into comorbidity if you see yourself its more common than you think, bc being undiagnosed)
I personally think it's fine to self diagnose, because even if it's wrong, your life might get better with the tips, tricks and way of viewing things from ADHDer. It's at least much better, than constantly questioning yourself, if you're just the worst person to exit and be oblivious of the symptoms. But it's hard to convey this to neurotypical people, they simply don't understand. I heard a neat analogy to ADHD Paralysis: A= neurodivergent B= neurotypical A: Why can't you put your hand on a hot plate? B: Because I'll burn myself A: But you can technically do it, you have the muscle knowledge to put your hand on it, do it, it's not that hard! B: 'attempts it, but stops before touching' B: Ah I just can't, my brain physically won't let me do it!!! A: Exactly. Now imagine I told you to drink or eat sth, go shower, do the dishes. With Adhd paralysis, we WANT to do the thing, but we just can't get started. We just can't touch the plate, do the task, because our brain won't let us or makes it really hard to fight against it. B: 'looks at hand' B: I- I am so sorry I always thought you were lazy! Hope you find your answer ^^`
Am I the only person who's frustrated as this is something that's described as only being sometimes? This is how I feel all the time every day as soon as I wake up.
I agree. I wonder if it’s my age. I’m 52 and also going through menopause and also old enough to realize the world is crazy these days. I feel like I’m in permanent burnout.😢
Honestly, I could cry right now. Spent my whole life up to this point, feeling this way on and off. Having to deal with family members telling me that I lack willpower and was lazy. It made me feel broken inside, like everything I did was a failure. I can't begin to describe what it's been like to finally see time and energy being put into understanding something that has made me so miserable over the years. I'm hopeful that videos like this will help some poor kid out their not feel the same way I do to this day.
1) the art of the animation for this video is amazing 2) in my personal life, I usually think I'm being lazy but, after watching this video I realize I have experienced all these descriptions
This is so relatable, especially in my experiences. I have ADD and depression, and when I don't do certain things correctly or forget what I'm supposed to do or certain memories, i go REALLY hard on myself, and it's just so exhausting. I also forget things sometimes when my brain forgets fundamental things.
Actually I'm also facing the same prb but I'm not finding any ways to overcome it.... I'm glad u replied ..and I'll be so grateful to you if u pls share the details way how I can overcome my adhd
@SumaiyaIslamNirjona well, about that, you have to train your brain to focus on the small details of certain tasks, like, for example, remembering to pay bills and rent or wash the dishes. I take medicine for it as well to stimulate the parts of the brain that help me to focus better.
I’m 57 yrs old and FINALLY officially diagnosed with ADHD 5 yrs ago. Adderal helps some but being female, menopausal and ADHD holy crap some times the mood swings and depression feels too much to take any longer. Not to mention a husband who even after 30 yrs has very little patience for what I go through. Some days it’s all I can do to get out of bed 30mins before he gets home and pretend it’s been a good day! Glad there’s a name for what I experience just wish there was a cure too!!
everyone has something that they want to get rid of, but it always comes back. Awareness that other people have problems and that they are difficult to solve. Avoiding the problem or confronting it?, Will it go away if i avoid it?. Having a routine does help a lot with ADHD, hobbies too. Confronting the partner and try to solve the miscommunication is one of the best tools for having a good relationship, or maybe its just better to just lock up all the problems and when it is too big, well, it became a big monster that its way too scary to confront, smiling, hoping that it doesn't roam free.
I appreciate the fact that you have not faced burnout for 18 years though. Shows how resilient and tough you are. For this sudden shift though, do you think something in particular led you to the path of burnout? There must be some catalyst that wasn't present earlier, but with time came to exist leading you to a burnout.
i completely feel this! i never used to burnout until this year, as ive been 17 coming up to 18. i feel so lazy i can't even :( i have found myself relate to so so many symptoms of adhd, the wellbeing teacher at school suggested this as a possible cause of my sudden anxiety and energy depletion and to be honest i initially took offence to this, but now it all makes sense i think i might bring this issue up with my doctor, i have an appointment on tuesday
@@thejaywalkerkid For me, it was moving away to college. I lost the external structure that was provided for me throughout k-12 and my parents. My ADHD symptoms were exacerbated. I burnt out constantly.
I've been trying to figure out why I have been feeling like shit for so long now but this time I think it is just right ✅️. I am extremely grateful for all of the stuff you guys make and please keep making it 🙏. 😊❤
Trying not to quit my job right now as a overworked manager of a theater with ADHD. I don't do anything at home or anywhere because work takes all my processing power. Burnout is so real and its exhausting.
Me too. There's just nothing left for myself after work and if I try to have me time it's like I time travel to 5 hours after I should have been asleep
@@geemail369 my change ups now are that i’m able to finish tasks quicker and ive been much more relaxed, and another thing is i dont get as distracted, i used to start tasks and never finish them but now im starting to finish them
I’ve been diagnosed adhd in the past and also highly suggested I’m autistic when I finally started seeing a therapist. I haven’t been clinically diagnosed, but asd seems to resonate with me more! Thank you and sorry for venting
Like a month ago, I had a burnout. I couldn't stop crying, and I couldn't get up and move all because of school and homework. I've been telling my parents how hard it was getting, again they didn't let me take a break. My parents took me to a behavioral center when I couldn't calm down. Eventually, it was late, and the doctors decided I didn't have to stay in the patient. The next morning I had to go to school. This is just a reminder to parents, if you kid tells your their more than tired, do something to help them.
ive recently realized i show a lot of adhd symptoms, and ive been trying to tell my parents all of my symptoms, but they keep denying me just because im a bit smarter than a lot of people. my parents keep calling me an attention seeker, just because im sharing my symptoms. these adhd videos you make help me so much. sadly i can’t get a diagnosis on my own because im only a teenager, but there’s only a few more years left. thank you for everything you do.
Thank you! As a 20 year old living with ADHD, this video helped a lot. I often have trouble identifying burnout and other things.. this video will help a lot.
These videos are helping me understand myself and my step daughter more and more. And the more I learn the more room I have for acceptance and grace. Thank u
My 24 year old niece i think has adhd but she also needs to quit drugs and learn how to love herself enough to ask for help. I think good thoughts for her to be safe wherever she is at and that only people who are kind,sober and are willing to guide her on her way to wellness. She has so much potential and kindness in her to help others 💞🙏
I have ADD (technically ADHD I guess) and this video really helped me understand what I’m going through. I think what will help me is tackling smaller tasks for a small amount of time and then maybe switching between each one until they are done. It’s comforting to know that other people also have this problem. I know that sounds mean but it’s hard when everybody who is older than you immediately assumes you are just lazy and don’t look any further than that.
First time I've had this kind of burnout, but many of these issues were still present well before this. Mostly happened when I was more depressed than ever, but now I dont feel depressed right now, I'm just... tired. Its really getting in the way of my plans to improve myself as a person and do all of the projects I meant to start. Hell, some of 'em I meant to start years ago
Thank you!! Trying to explain burnout and executive dysfunction, especially when they’re coupled with my anxiety and autism, to almost anyone just gets me the response of “well, that sounds like a bunch of excuses!”
I heard a girl somewhere say something like “I’m working my ass of everyday to complete tasks that you don’t even consider tasks.” Maybe some of you can relate to the way I feel and that’s guilty for being “lazy” and tired all the damn time. So tired that I oversleep till the afternoon and struggle to get out of bed, struggle to spend time with friends, struggle to just move from a chair to the kitchen and back- everything feels exhausting. I feel stressed out and guilty because I’m not doing any of my hobbies or obligations. Skipping my school work and not making art, just lazing around. I’m starting to bounce back but I’m seeing that it’s so hard to let go of the feeling that I’m lazy instead of just burned out. All these things considered so easy to neurotypical people have me crying and angry and numb- heck I’m mad that I have to spend a day mentally preparing to get into a shower! This line that Taylor Swift said about her song this is me trying has been stuck in my head all day (yes I’m a swiftie). “No one’s patting these people on the back everyday but everyday they’re actively fighting something.” Im not sure what to do about my feelings or how to change things and I definitely haven’t worked through ALL of little problems but i know I’ll be doing better again after some rest and I really hope anyone who feels this way too knows that you will feel better and on top of the world soon and even if you struggle with a bunch of stuff that, that doesn’t change your worth or how special you are. It’s tough but we’re tougher
Dude the combo of ADHD Burnout and Depression seriously isn't fun. My family don't seem to understand that I'm not being lazy and or selfish I literally don't have motivation to do anything its why my bedroom looks like a bombsite and why the dishes constantly need washing. I just wish they would understand
Wow this video is really right for me, so I have an idea now that maybe what I'm currently feeling for a long time might be a symptoms of ADHD burnout and not because of laziness as I thought. Thank you so much for making this video ❤
I went to the doctor and she confirmed it. I do have it. It took me over 30 years to find out about this. That is how long I had it. It is very exhausting 😫. Everyone kept telling that I'm lazy or why am I so lazy. Not only this, I also have C-PTSD due to childhood trauma. I'm also prone to overthinking and daydreaming. Now I am finally getting some help. And it's going to take a long time to get healed.
This is so relatable! Nice to know it has a label. Currently working through this, setting boundaries and doing 1-2 tasks at a time to not get overwhelmed
I'm almost 30 and I was never diagnosed with ADHD because my parents were always denying the existence of mental health and problems. But I recognise all of these sings on me.😢
Sad to hear that. It is painful to see how our adult problems mostly come from a lack of awareness of our parents and their lack of knowledge\wisdom on how to confront them.
@MiriadCalibrumAstar I agree. Even if we try to confront them with the possibility of mental health issues, they will continue to deny it and try to make us believe it's nonsense.
This video is very helpful for me! I was diagnosed with severe ADHD in 6th grade, and most times I do feel lazy or overwhelmed. I just started junior year of high school and have band practice most days in each week, so I’m gonna have a lot on my plate this year. It’s easy for me to blame myself for getting up too much and not working; I think a lot of it stems from 8th grade (my COVID year), and that year was a gauntlet. Hopefully I can keep going, and get the ball rolling the rest of the year. I would suggest making a video about practice habits to stay focus, if there are any! Thanks for the vid!
Hello friend, I always feel that your videos are very beneficial, my dad had a bad fall on last Thursday evening & had an operation on Sunday afternoon, your videos have brightened up my days. 💜🙏
So as somebody with ADHD we definitely need to be careful with saying were not just lazy as the excuse as to why we don't do anything. I think saying "It's my ADHD! That's why my life sucks." Instead of addressing the problems with the disorder and actually look up tools in order to combat it so that we can all have better and more productive lives. To me especially because of Tik Tok I've seen too many self diagnosed people blaming ADHD for their position in life.
For the way, it goes here at my house I’ll get labeled as being lazy, but in reality the way it feels emotionally that I feel as what this video suggests is burn out, that I just feel an overwhelming sense of not wanting to do anything because I’m tired, bored, and all of what I’m interested in, stuff that I typically have had a huge passion for, I just don’t have as high an interest in it anymore and a lot of it makes me feel emotionally drained
I am so glad u made this video. i could be having to write down an email, and then my brain makes so many thoughts it just plays the old error 404 trick on me. My ADHD harhsly affects me on a daily basis, and i want people to know im not lazy, my brain is litterrally in a rave while my physcical self is in a literal come, and that the reason i dont respond is my adhd paralasis and its sidetracks it randomly gives me.
This video came at the perfect time, was about to look up some videos about this incase I needed to show my family. And that sort of paralysis has just been so noticeable lately that I've come to fully understand just how much ADD has been effecting my life. As well as being overwhelmed by tasks.
I’ve been dealing with this forever and never figured out why, whenever I tried to tell anyone they don’t believe me and it sucks feeling that way. Now I finally have answers ✨
I recently broke up with my partner, who had ADHD burnout for the entire 2 years I lived with her. No matter how much support I offered, it wouldn’t alleviate her overwhelmed feelings, and she felt very absent in the relationship. After having done a lot of research, I see that I didn’t understand what was going on. But even knowing what was happening, it would still have been incredibly hard. Now I’m drowning in grief over losing her and I’m the one constantly burnt out.
I had this a few weeks ago and only watching this video I realise it. Took a week off work and literally did nothing all week apart from rest and go on a few walks, clean the apartment. I deliberately didn't make any plans either. I didn't feel like I deserved time off. If you feel like this, YOU DESERVE A BREAK! please take my advice as you may not realise you are burned out and become fixated on improving at work / do more next week etc. Trust me a week to unwind may be just what you need and most importantly what you deserve for being you. We have a Ferrari for a brain, but with no brakes. I promise it is just burnout and you are good enough. Hope this helps even one person😊
I’m going through burnout right now and I’ve been following this page for years, but geez, another form of burnout lol. I’ve been both physically and mentally burnt out, so this is crazy lol.
For two years, my father was in a verrrryy touch and go health situation, which put stress on the whole family. I lost my job just as he was coming home for good, and was accepted into college that same month. Now I’m so burned out from two years of high stress that caused a job loss and now I’m going into college and *aaaaaaaaaaaa* it’s too much for a tiny adhd brain like mine
This explains so much. I had a burnout this week and just had a meltdown in front of a client. 2 days later, due to other added issues I decided to just end our partnership
This perfectly describes me when I was a teenager with ADD. As an adult I'm much more discriminant with my commitments; in fact, it can sometimes be hard to get me to commit to anything at all because I know what can happen.
I have all of this you mention (every single thing is stuck on max ), Depression,RSD, etc. I can't seek professional medical help. That's life i guess. Thank you so much for helping a little bit
As someone with ADHD, there is one big, important word I can give to others struggling with ADHD: DELEGATE, especially at work. The ADHD mind becomes VERY easily overwhelmed, and if you don't take a load off from time to time, especially when it is busy, you will quickly suffer burnout and be confused and unable to work well. If your job threatens to cut you off because of it, go to your HR department. Explain your situation and see what can be done. Another important thing to do is to occasionally get away from it all. Take a day out of the month or even week to do what YOU want.
As someone with ADHD and is in my 20s, my parents for the most part thought that if I got over my excessive talking then I would overcome it entirely. Thay isn't the case and this video has proven it. I found myself nodding and agreeing with most, if not all of the points made here.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adolescent currently struggling with depression (I'm 27 years), this video took all my doubts about the things that are happening to me now, it is very frustrating to be with ADHD burnout is costing me a lot even to be able to draw what I like the most or establish a routine 😭
I cried watching this video. Seeing someone describing all these strange feelings I have seems surreal. I've been always labeled as the lazy boy, even in childhood and I feel like shit whenever I see a pile of dishes to be washed. I'm going after treatment, cannot stand my life the way it is now
This is the kind of video that's so informative and helpful, to people with and without ADHD, that I really gotta stop and ask myself.... Who the hell's disliking this??
I feel this, especially right now. As I’ve started high-school this has gotten worse, I’m not diagnosed I feel in my heart that I have adhd but my parents do not want to believe that I have it. Hopefully it’ll get better but I’m trying my best. ❤
I get called lazy all the time, and i am always burned out. My family just sums it up me being lazy and when i try to talk about or try to mention about adhd i get shut off. I really want to get diagnosed in the upcoming year. So i can be certain if i have it or no. But i am certain i have it all these years. I tried to improve myself and sometimes i say i am lazy but i know it is most likely adhd.
lack of praises affect a lot in childhood and puberty. Did you ever questioned what kind of psychology can you use to identify what your family is doing to you?, Narcissism, manipulation, toxicity, gaslight, not respecting boundaries, ask yourself, things have a reason. On a simple way to convey this, What color is the sky? ..... Why?.... What if i dont believe that?.....Can i explain it another way?....
@@MiriadCalibrumAstar all of these, I belong to a third world country so even abuse is legal here. So all of the stuff and they say it's normal and I guess I am in a trauma bond with them.
My roommate makes me go thru this everyday. My mind races constantly. He says I can't have adhd cuz i don't run around. i can't because i'm disabled. it just means my mind is racing.
I'm 22 and my ADHD is really killing me. My job makes me exhausted and miserable, I can barely focus on important tasks outside of work and will procrastinate for months on end on one thing. I'm always tired and foggy and never quite feel myself. I hate this. I've been on multiple meds so far and nothing has helped
Idk if I officially have it, but I have been diagnosed with ADHD as a possibility because I need to take focus medications. But especially during exam week at school, I find I experience this.
I'm confused now I have ADHD, but a lot of what you said in the video didn't apply to me. I have ADHD, but I'm not social at all. I'd rather be alone. I'm to scared to try new things, my calendar is rather empty. And I get so stressed when there is something for me to do that I have a full on emotional breakdown But I do get overwhelmed with the things I want to do that make me happy, I procrastinate online school, my art, videos, etc and it all comes crashing down on me until I can't handle it.
I relate to all of the symptoms described in the video. I was never an energetic or a particulary motivated or ambitious person, but over the past few years it has gotten so much worse. The extreme exhaustion - sometimes I lay down for 20 mins in the middle of making my bed or changing sheets. Task paralysis - knowing I should do something and I just can't bring myself to do it. Brain fog - yes, many times waking up feeling like I'm kind of high even though I don't do drugs. Struggling really bad to concentrate (can't read books anymore but I loved reading them as a child), feeling overwhelmed and anxious if I have to multitask. Getting overwhelmed if too many things are attacking my senses at once - noises, lights, smells. Messed up sleep schedule - most likely delayed sleep phase disorder. I've gotten my burnout somewhat under control since spending a few months on sick leave and getting back on the correct dosage of antidepressant, but I still deal with all the stuff mentioned above. I'm getting the diagnostic process for ADHD started in April with a psychiatrist specialized in ADHD, since my current psychiatrist seems to think that depression and anxiety are the only mental ilnesses out there.
i would argue laziness just doesn't exist. according to social psychologist devon price on his article in medium, he says " I don’t believe that laziness exists." and that "There are always barriers. Recognizing those barriers- and viewing them as legitimate - is often the first step to breaking “lazy” behavior patterns." which could be something like ADHD burnout, or more simply just general confusion of whats going on, perhaps stress of life, stress over work, or a wide variety of factors thats at play. the biggest problem is people do not think there is issues and think it boils down to "excuses" or other nonsense, when in reality those problems could very well be problems in life, work environment, or simply a mental illness. but when it comes to completing tasks and demanding them by a deadline, usually the stress is not good.
Oh yeah, I've never felt more called out by a 5 minute video....... i'm 37 and just starting to see that I need to talk about ADHD with my doctor... my whole life, man
Everything here describes what I’ve been going through for the past 2 1/2 months. I am a Freshman in HS and have been formally diagnosed with ADHD since around 2021 or so. I’ve been on the same meds that I was on throughout my Middle School years, though I don’t really notice a sufficient effect on my focus and concentration. I must inform you that I have been consulting help by talking with school consolers and administrators, yet I don’t have a set direction on how to get organized and motivated. I would highly appreciate if you could help with this, thanks in advanced!
3:37 I literally just got off discord as you said that and remembered I was suppose to be learning more about my ADHD and why it sometimes makes me less hyper and more depressed
My life is on the verge of collapse. Doctors don't want to help i haven't been to work in months and every day is getting more and more difficult to manage. I never thought I'd end up so mentally crippled in life and because it's invisible no one understands what I'm going though. With such a lack of energy now I don't think I can fight for much longer because I don't even know what the end goal is anymore. I'm so tired of everything..
Oh my goodness this may be the answer. My parents think im lazy, but this just may be a possibility. I might have adhd, or add (according to my friend with autism and adhd). A big chunk of the things said in this video are what i go through all the time. Though, i may never find this out, since my parents never want to get me tested. Hell, in preschool, one of the people thought i was autistic. Thank you for making this video.
I feel like I'm overwhelmed by everything even though I have some simple tasks to do, when it comes to doing something I like, I completely am isolated from my surroundings for example when I draw something or learn a new language, but it all goes away when wanting to do a simple task, I feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed by a lot of thoughts at once, to the extent that I started feeling that I live in a dream and it turned out I've encountered a psychological condition called ( de-realization), it feels like that none of what you experience is real even though you are aware of this feeling but you still can't tell if you're going to die if you jump off the roof.... All of these feelings are accompanied by complete exhaustion, disgust, tiredness, scattering, and generally not wanting to do anything even if it was only to talk to someone, this is how I feel now
The mental paralysis part when talking with others is something I struggle with on a regular basis. It’s hard to effectively communicate with someone you care about so you speak but it always seems to come out incomplete and wrong.
Talking burnout, heres a great idea my mom had awhile back. you can think of depression, as deep rest. Depre - deep, press - rest. It's like the bodies way of telling you that you REALLY need sleep, and like, RIGHT now.
Thank you nobody older around me understands me with ADHD. I am not lazy for people with ADHD it's just difficult to read.
Sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm 43 and just been diagnosed!!! It was a generation thing in my case! (My brother was diagnosed in the 80s but not me)
Don't worry, same here. Just relax and just don't try to fit anywhere you're much more able and emotional and good just
Don't compare yourself with anyone because if a peacock will try to be a chicken then he will just water himself doing nothing but just self disrespect.
Thanks by.

The third one, the fog.
It's actually surreal hearing that described by someone else.
After all these years of dealing with that, I almost started to feel like I was gaslighting myself or something.
Same here, this whole video felt so surreal because I've done these things my whole life and just figured I was different

Decluttering my environment at home has really helped reduce burn out.
Same. I’d say it’s life-changing
I have ADD and have experienced everything you spoke of. It's debilitating and affects my self esteem. I have been tackling home projects by focusing on one simple thing for a limited time, allowing breaks. Yard projects, finishing one thing before starting another, even if it takes weeks or months depending on weather. It is helping. Still working on finding a good fit for employment. Easily overwhelmed by too much stimulation and too many people.
ADD (attention-deficit disorder) is an outdated term for what is now called ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder).
The term ADD is not used anymore but that’s OK. There’s two different terms.
I have ADD too, I hope it gets better for us...
Same. Easy overwhelmed by too many people, lights, sounds, vehicles 😑. I just started getting a little bit physically active and am nowhere close to tackling this. Hope I can start soon. Wishing you peace, calm and strength.
Maybe look into being some sort of vendor you can work on your own, and kind of your own schedule.
As a 10 year old with ADHD this really helped understanding my condition and I’m very grateful for this video !🤗

I AGREE

Hang in there, you got this!
You are not burnt out at 10 years old.

I personally think it's fine to self diagnose, because even if it's wrong, your life might get better with the tips, tricks and way of viewing things from ADHDer.
It's at least much better, than constantly questioning yourself, if you're just the worst person to exit and be oblivious of the symptoms.
But it's hard to convey this to neurotypical people, they simply don't understand.
I heard a neat analogy to ADHD Paralysis:
A= neurodivergent
B= neurotypical
A: Why can't you put your hand on a hot plate?
B: Because I'll burn myself
A: But you can technically do it, you have the muscle knowledge to put your hand on it, do it, it's not that hard!
B: 'attempts it, but stops before touching'
B: Ah I just can't, my brain physically won't let me do it!!!
A: Exactly. Now imagine I told you to drink or eat sth, go shower, do the dishes. With Adhd paralysis, we WANT to do the thing, but we just can't get started. We just can't touch the plate, do the task, because our brain won't let us or makes it really hard to fight against it.
B: 'looks at hand'
B: I- I am so sorry I always thought you were lazy!
Hope you find your answer ^^`
Am I the only person who's frustrated as this is something that's described as only being sometimes? This is how I feel all the time every day as soon as I wake up.
Yeah me too
I agree. I wonder if it’s my age. I’m 52 and also going through menopause and also old enough to realize the world is crazy these days. I feel like I’m in permanent burnout.😢
@@laurab972 I feel the same and I'm 31
The struggle is real. It’s been a long ride and getting stuff done lately.
Take care my friends.
Honestly, I could cry right now. Spent my whole life up to this point, feeling this way on and off. Having to deal with family members telling me that I lack willpower and was lazy. It made me feel broken inside, like everything I did was a failure. I can't begin to describe what it's been like to finally see time and energy being put into understanding something that has made me so miserable over the years. I'm hopeful that videos like this will help some poor kid out their not feel the same way I do to this day.
1) the art of the animation for this video is amazing
2) in my personal life, I usually think I'm being lazy but, after watching this video I realize I have experienced all these descriptions
This is so relatable, especially in my experiences. I have ADD and depression, and when I don't do certain things correctly or forget what I'm supposed to do or certain memories, i go REALLY hard on myself, and it's just so exhausting. I also forget things sometimes when my brain forgets fundamental things.
How to do u overcome ADHD?
@SumaiyaIslamNirjona I have to tell my brain to function correctly, and it's just a constant fight between thoughts.
Actually I'm also facing the same prb but I'm not finding any ways to overcome it.... I'm glad u replied ..and I'll be so grateful to you if u pls share the details way how I can overcome my adhd
@SumaiyaIslamNirjona well, about that, you have to train your brain to focus on the small details of certain tasks, like, for example, remembering to pay bills and rent or wash the dishes. I take medicine for it as well to stimulate the parts of the brain that help me to focus better.
I’m 57 yrs old and FINALLY officially diagnosed with ADHD 5 yrs ago. Adderal helps some but being female, menopausal and ADHD holy crap some times the mood swings and depression feels too much to take any longer. Not to mention a husband who even after 30 yrs has very little patience for what I go through. Some days it’s all I can do to get out of bed 30mins before he gets home and pretend it’s been a good day! Glad there’s a name for what I experience just wish there was a cure too!!
everyone has something that they want to get rid of, but it always comes back. Awareness that other people have problems and that they are difficult to solve. Avoiding the problem or confronting it?, Will it go away if i avoid it?. Having a routine does help a lot with ADHD, hobbies too. Confronting the partner and try to solve the miscommunication is one of the best tools for having a good relationship, or maybe its just better to just lock up all the problems and when it is too big, well, it became a big monster that its way too scary to confront, smiling, hoping that it doesn't roam free.
Sounds like CFS from the qdhd check out Dr lenz any pain?
Look into kari ann wrights videos on menopause too they’re very helpful.
A big shoutout to the animators who bring these videos to life.
Yes, amazing art!
I have lived for 18 years without burnout, everyday surrounded by happiness, this is my first time experiencing a burnout
I appreciate the fact that you have not faced burnout for 18 years though. Shows how resilient and tough you are. For this sudden shift though, do you think something in particular led you to the path of burnout? There must be some catalyst that wasn't present earlier, but with time came to exist leading you to a burnout.
i completely feel this! i never used to burnout until this year, as ive been 17 coming up to 18. i feel so lazy i can't even :(
i have found myself relate to so so many symptoms of adhd, the wellbeing teacher at school suggested this as a possible cause of my sudden anxiety and energy depletion and to be honest i initially took offence to this, but now it all makes sense
i think i might bring this issue up with my doctor, i have an appointment on tuesday
crazy
@@thejaywalkerkid For me, it was moving away to college. I lost the external structure that was provided for me throughout k-12 and my parents. My ADHD symptoms were exacerbated. I burnt out constantly.
i have once had 1,5 year without burnout. i am 49.
I've been trying to figure out why I have been feeling like shit for so long now but this time I think it is just right ✅️.
I am extremely grateful for all of the stuff you guys make and please keep making it 🙏.
😊❤
Hope u get better!
This was explained so well I wish more people would understand adhd !
Trying not to quit my job right now as a overworked manager of a theater with ADHD. I don't do anything at home or anywhere because work takes all my processing power. Burnout is so real and its exhausting.
✊🏻
I just quit my job again without a backup plan. 😢
@random-accessmemory9201 your not alone, I struggle with keeping jobs longer than 6 months to this day
@@random-accessmemory9201about to quick mine now😭 it’s really hard! Only those that go though it will understand. 💔
Me too. There's just nothing left for myself after work and if I try to have me time it's like I time travel to 5 hours after I should have been asleep
ive gotten rid of my adhd burnout a few weeks ago, ive been feeling alot more motivated and ive been finishing tasks faster:)
Congrats! What were your change-ups?!
@@geemail369 my change ups now are that i’m able to finish tasks quicker and ive been much more relaxed, and another thing is i dont get as distracted, i used to start tasks and never finish them but now im starting to finish them
how?
@@bjoernschumacher5852 i think you can find how on google
Very well done you. That’s a great achievement.
As an autistic adult, it's similar for me. I have autistic burnout and it is frustrating at times. It is said that ADHD and autism are similar.
I’ve been diagnosed adhd in the past and also highly suggested I’m autistic when I finally started seeing a therapist. I haven’t been clinically diagnosed, but asd seems to resonate with me more! Thank you and sorry for venting
Like a month ago, I had a burnout. I couldn't stop crying, and I couldn't get up and move all because of school and homework. I've been telling my parents how hard it was getting, again they didn't let me take a break. My parents took me to a behavioral center when I couldn't calm down. Eventually, it was late, and the doctors decided I didn't have to stay in the patient. The next morning I had to go to school.
This is just a reminder to parents, if you kid tells your their more than tired, do something to help them.
Thank you for this video, it describes my condition better than anything else I've read or heard.
ive recently realized i show a lot of adhd symptoms, and ive been trying to tell my parents all of my symptoms, but they keep denying me just because im a bit smarter than a lot of people. my parents keep calling me an attention seeker, just because im sharing my symptoms. these adhd videos you make help me so much. sadly i can’t get a diagnosis on my own because im only a teenager, but there’s only a few more years left. thank you for everything you do.
Thank you! As a 20 year old living with ADHD, this video helped a lot.
I often have trouble identifying burnout and other things.. this video will help a lot.
These videos are helping me understand myself and my step daughter more and more. And the more I learn the more room I have for acceptance and grace. Thank u
My 24 year old niece i think has adhd but she also needs to quit drugs and learn how to love herself enough to ask for help.
I think good thoughts for her to be safe wherever she is at and that only people who are kind,sober and are willing to guide her on her way to wellness.
She has so much potential and kindness in her to help others 💞🙏
I have ADD (technically ADHD I guess) and this video really helped me understand what I’m going through. I think what will help me is tackling smaller tasks for a small amount of time and then maybe switching between each one until they are done.
It’s comforting to know that other people also have this problem. I know that sounds mean but it’s hard when everybody who is older than you immediately assumes you are just lazy and don’t look any further than that.
First time I've had this kind of burnout, but many of these issues were still present well before this. Mostly happened when I was more depressed than ever, but now I dont feel depressed right now, I'm just... tired. Its really getting in the way of my plans to improve myself as a person and do all of the projects I meant to start. Hell, some of 'em I meant to start years ago
This is exactly what i needed right now, thank you!!
An excuse?
Thank you!! Trying to explain burnout and executive dysfunction, especially when they’re coupled with my anxiety and autism, to almost anyone just gets me the response of “well, that sounds like a bunch of excuses!”
Huh we the same issues
I heard a girl somewhere say something like “I’m working my ass of everyday to complete tasks that you don’t even consider tasks.” Maybe some of you can relate to the way I feel and that’s guilty for being “lazy” and tired all the damn time. So tired that I oversleep till the afternoon and struggle to get out of bed, struggle to spend time with friends, struggle to just move from a chair to the kitchen and back- everything feels exhausting. I feel stressed out and guilty because I’m not doing any of my hobbies or obligations. Skipping my school work and not making art, just lazing around. I’m starting to bounce back but I’m seeing that it’s so hard to let go of the feeling that I’m lazy instead of just burned out. All these things considered so easy to neurotypical people have me crying and angry and numb- heck I’m mad that I have to spend a day mentally preparing to get into a shower! This line that Taylor Swift said about her song this is me trying has been stuck in my head all day (yes I’m a swiftie). “No one’s patting these people on the back everyday but everyday they’re actively fighting something.” Im not sure what to do about my feelings or how to change things and I definitely haven’t worked through ALL of little problems but i know I’ll be doing better again after some rest and I really hope anyone who feels this way too knows that you will feel better and on top of the world soon and even if you struggle with a bunch of stuff that, that doesn’t change your worth or how special you are. It’s tough but we’re tougher
Just wanted to say I’m much better now, actually found out I have an iron deficiency so if u feel similar maybe research if a bit you never know!
for the last couple of weeks i felt off 24/7, but now everything is starting to make sense. thanks psych2go!
Dude the combo of ADHD Burnout and Depression seriously isn't fun. My family don't seem to understand that I'm not being lazy and or selfish I literally don't have motivation to do anything its why my bedroom looks like a bombsite and why the dishes constantly need washing. I just wish they would understand
I’m so sorry about that. I wish people could understand.
@@Yanxa-chanpunctuation would be helpful lol
I am so stuck e demotivated. Yes, the ADHD burnout and depression combo Is no joke fr
Wow this video is really right for me, so I have an idea now that maybe what I'm currently feeling for a long time might be a symptoms of ADHD burnout and not because of laziness as I thought. Thank you so much for making this video ❤
I went to the doctor and she confirmed it. I do have it. It took me over 30 years to find out about this. That is how long I had it. It is very exhausting 😫. Everyone kept telling that I'm lazy or why am I so lazy. Not only this, I also have C-PTSD due to childhood trauma. I'm also prone to overthinking and daydreaming. Now I am finally getting some help. And it's going to take a long time to get healed.
This is so relatable! Nice to know it has a label. Currently working through this, setting boundaries and doing 1-2 tasks at a time to not get overwhelmed
Even with hobbies I like, I just get burnt out. And need that fix to fill the void of that activity.
Hobbies can turn into chores.
I'm almost 30 and I was never diagnosed with ADHD because my parents were always denying the existence of mental health and problems. But I recognise all of these sings on me.😢
Sad to hear that.
It is painful to see how our adult problems mostly come from a lack of awareness of our parents and their lack of knowledge\wisdom on how to confront them.
@MiriadCalibrumAstar I agree. Even if we try to confront them with the possibility of mental health issues, they will continue to deny it and try to make us believe it's nonsense.
Screw their denial. The truth shall out itself to them.
It is incredible how one 5 minute video can explain SO MUCH. Everything makes sense. I am deffinetely booking an appointment with a psychiatrist.
Parents such as myself need to know this. We can save ourselves from judging our children and instead help them overcome their "laziness".
Ur voice is so soothing 💆🏼♀️
This video is very helpful for me! I was diagnosed with severe ADHD in 6th grade, and most times I do feel lazy or overwhelmed. I just started junior year of high school and have band practice most days in each week, so I’m gonna have a lot on my plate this year. It’s easy for me to blame myself for getting up too much and not working; I think a lot of it stems from 8th grade (my COVID year), and that year was a gauntlet. Hopefully I can keep going, and get the ball rolling the rest of the year. I would suggest making a video about practice habits to stay focus, if there are any! Thanks for the vid!
Hello friend, I always feel that your videos are very beneficial, my dad had a bad fall on last Thursday evening & had an operation on Sunday afternoon, your videos have brightened up my days. 💜🙏
So as somebody with ADHD we definitely need to be careful with saying were not just lazy as the excuse as to why we don't do anything. I think saying "It's my ADHD! That's why my life sucks." Instead of addressing the problems with the disorder and actually look up tools in order to combat it so that we can all have better and more productive lives. To me especially because of Tik Tok I've seen too many self diagnosed people blaming ADHD for their position in life.
For the way, it goes here at my house I’ll get labeled as being lazy, but in reality the way it feels emotionally that I feel as what this video suggests is burn out, that I just feel an overwhelming sense of not wanting to do anything because I’m tired, bored, and all of what I’m interested in, stuff that I typically have had a huge passion for, I just don’t have as high an interest in it anymore and a lot of it makes me feel emotionally drained
I am so glad u made this video. i could be having to write down an email, and then my brain makes so many thoughts it just plays the old error 404 trick on me. My ADHD harhsly affects me on a daily basis, and i want people to know im not lazy, my brain is litterrally in a rave while my physcical self is in a literal come, and that the reason i dont respond is my adhd paralasis and its sidetracks it randomly gives me.
This video came at the perfect time, was about to look up some videos about this incase I needed to show my family. And that sort of paralysis has just been so noticeable lately that I've come to fully understand just how much ADD has been effecting my life. As well as being overwhelmed by tasks.
Adorable art style!! I love it sm!!
I’ve been dealing with this forever and never figured out why, whenever I tried to tell anyone they don’t believe me and it sucks feeling that way. Now I finally have answers ✨
THANK YOUUU. THIS IS AN ISSUE PEOPLE WITH ADHD AND WE CANT CHANGE IT.I
#adhdawareness
Really appreciate your videos ! Keep up the fantastic work ❤
I recently broke up with my partner, who had ADHD burnout for the entire 2 years I lived with her. No matter how much support I offered, it wouldn’t alleviate her overwhelmed feelings, and she felt very absent in the relationship. After having done a lot of research, I see that I didn’t understand what was going on. But even knowing what was happening, it would still have been incredibly hard.
Now I’m drowning in grief over losing her and I’m the one constantly burnt out.
I had this a few weeks ago and only watching this video I realise it. Took a week off work and literally did nothing all week apart from rest and go on a few walks, clean the apartment. I deliberately didn't make any plans either. I didn't feel like I deserved time off.
If you feel like this, YOU DESERVE A BREAK! please take my advice as you may not realise you are burned out and become fixated on improving at work / do more next week etc. Trust me a week to unwind may be just what you need and most importantly what you deserve for being you. We have a Ferrari for a brain, but with no brakes. I promise it is just burnout and you are good enough. Hope this helps even one person😊
I was crying when i saw this.
I’m going through burnout right now and I’ve been following this page for years, but geez, another form of burnout lol. I’ve been both physically and mentally burnt out, so this is crazy lol.
Ive never been lazy but im afraid to screw up or not do a good job. I have a serious lack of confidence and thats been the bane of my life.
For two years, my father was in a verrrryy touch and go health situation, which put stress on the whole family. I lost my job just as he was coming home for good, and was accepted into college that same month.
Now I’m so burned out from two years of high stress that caused a job loss and now I’m going into college and *aaaaaaaaaaaa*
it’s too much for a tiny adhd brain like mine
This explains so much. I had a burnout this week and just had a meltdown in front of a client. 2 days later, due to other added issues I decided to just end our partnership
This perfectly describes me when I was a teenager with ADD. As an adult I'm much more discriminant with my commitments; in fact, it can sometimes be hard to get me to commit to anything at all because I know what can happen.
I have all of this you mention (every single thing is stuck on max ), Depression,RSD, etc. I can't seek professional medical help. That's life i guess. Thank you so much for helping a little bit
As someone with ADHD, there is one big, important word I can give to others struggling with ADHD: DELEGATE, especially at work. The ADHD mind becomes VERY easily overwhelmed, and if you don't take a load off from time to time, especially when it is busy, you will quickly suffer burnout and be confused and unable to work well. If your job threatens to cut you off because of it, go to your HR department. Explain your situation and see what can be done.
Another important thing to do is to occasionally get away from it all. Take a day out of the month or even week to do what YOU want.
As someone with ADHD and is in my 20s, my parents for the most part thought that if I got over my excessive talking then I would overcome it entirely. Thay isn't the case and this video has proven it. I found myself nodding and agreeing with most, if not all of the points made here.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adolescent currently struggling with depression (I'm 27 years), this video took all my doubts about the things that are happening to me now, it is very frustrating to be with ADHD burnout is costing me a lot even to be able to draw what I like the most or establish a routine 😭
I cried watching this video. Seeing someone describing all these strange feelings I have seems surreal. I've been always labeled as the lazy boy, even in childhood and I feel like shit whenever I see a pile of dishes to be washed. I'm going after treatment, cannot stand my life the way it is now
This is the kind of video that's so informative and helpful, to people with and without ADHD, that I really gotta stop and ask myself....
Who the hell's disliking this??
I feel this, especially right now. As I’ve started high-school this has gotten worse, I’m not diagnosed I feel in my heart that I have adhd but my parents do not want to believe that I have it. Hopefully it’ll get better but I’m trying my best. ❤
I get called lazy all the time, and i am always burned out. My family just sums it up me being lazy and when i try to talk about or try to mention about adhd i get shut off. I really want to get diagnosed in the upcoming year.
So i can be certain if i have it or no. But i am certain i have it all these years. I tried to improve myself and sometimes i say i am lazy but i know it is most likely adhd.
lack of praises affect a lot in childhood and puberty.
Did you ever questioned what kind of psychology can you use to identify what your family is doing to you?, Narcissism, manipulation, toxicity, gaslight, not respecting boundaries, ask yourself, things have a reason.
On a simple way to convey this, What color is the sky? ..... Why?.... What if i dont believe that?.....Can i explain it another way?....
@@MiriadCalibrumAstar all of these, I belong to a third world country so even abuse is legal here. So all of the stuff and they say it's normal and I guess I am in a trauma bond with them.
@@thecorrupted3217 There are bad apples, bad barrels and bad barrel makers.
Country doesn't have to do with poor treatment of people.
My roommate makes me go thru this everyday. My mind races constantly. He says I can't have adhd cuz i don't run around. i can't because i'm disabled. it just means my mind is racing.
I believe I have adhd, though I’m undiagnosed and am struggling to get a diagnosis. This video is basically describing everything I feel rn
Thank you so much. Im currently going through this, and i was feeling bad for being so lazy, so this really helped me feel better
I'm 22 and my ADHD is really killing me. My job makes me exhausted and miserable, I can barely focus on important tasks outside of work and will procrastinate for months on end on one thing. I'm always tired and foggy and never quite feel myself. I hate this. I've been on multiple meds so far and nothing has helped
As someone with autism, I recognise all these points as well. I'm still surprised how much overlap there is between ASD and ADHD
Some say ADHD is on the spectrum to though
Idk if I officially have it, but I have been diagnosed with ADHD as a possibility because I need to take focus medications. But especially during exam week at school, I find I experience this.
I'm confused now I have ADHD, but a lot of what you said in the video didn't apply to me. I have ADHD, but I'm not social at all. I'd rather be alone. I'm to scared to try new things, my calendar is rather empty. And I get so stressed when there is something for me to do that I have a full on emotional breakdown
But I do get overwhelmed with the things I want to do that make me happy, I procrastinate online school, my art, videos, etc and it all comes crashing down on me until I can't handle it.
Omg right now I’m experiencing everything in this Video thanks a lotttttt 🌺
I relate to all of the symptoms described in the video. I was never an energetic or a particulary motivated or ambitious person, but over the past few years it has gotten so much worse. The extreme exhaustion - sometimes I lay down for 20 mins in the middle of making my bed or changing sheets. Task paralysis - knowing I should do something and I just can't bring myself to do it. Brain fog - yes, many times waking up feeling like I'm kind of high even though I don't do drugs. Struggling really bad to concentrate (can't read books anymore but I loved reading them as a child), feeling overwhelmed and anxious if I have to multitask. Getting overwhelmed if too many things are attacking my senses at once - noises, lights, smells. Messed up sleep schedule - most likely delayed sleep phase disorder.
I've gotten my burnout somewhat under control since spending a few months on sick leave and getting back on the correct dosage of antidepressant, but I still deal with all the stuff mentioned above. I'm getting the diagnostic process for ADHD started in April with a psychiatrist specialized in ADHD, since my current psychiatrist seems to think that depression and anxiety are the only mental ilnesses out there.
ADHD burnout hurts, BUT what can I do? I can, have to AND WILL push. Will push with all my might, everyday
Hopefully, one day, the "PSI" plushie would be available in more countries :)
Smack deep in the middle of an ADHD burn out. It’s described very well
Loved the video!! ^^
woww, I can't believe it, I was just wondering whether I have ADHD, or burnout, or both, then I saw this video. Perfect timing 😯
i would argue laziness just doesn't exist. according to social psychologist devon price on his article in medium, he says " I don’t believe that laziness exists." and that "There are always barriers. Recognizing those barriers- and viewing them as legitimate - is often the first step to breaking “lazy” behavior patterns."
which could be something like ADHD burnout, or more simply just general confusion of whats going on, perhaps stress of life, stress over work, or a wide variety of factors thats at play. the biggest problem is people do not think there is issues and think it boils down to "excuses" or other nonsense, when in reality those problems could very well be problems in life, work environment, or simply a mental illness. but when it comes to completing tasks and demanding them by a deadline, usually the stress is not good.
It feels very good to watch videos like this when I don't have a job.
Thanks for this can totally relate 100%
Oh yeah, I've never felt more called out by a 5 minute video....... i'm 37 and just starting to see that I need to talk about ADHD with my doctor... my whole life, man
Everything here describes what I’ve been going through for the past 2 1/2 months. I am a Freshman in HS and have been formally diagnosed with ADHD since around 2021 or so. I’ve been on the same meds that I was on throughout my Middle School years, though I don’t really notice a sufficient effect on my focus and concentration. I must inform you that I have been consulting help by talking with school consolers and administrators, yet I don’t have a set direction on how to get organized and motivated. I would highly appreciate if you could help with this, thanks in advanced!
Finally focused is the book for you
3:37 I literally just got off discord as you said that and remembered I was suppose to be learning more about my ADHD and why it sometimes makes me less hyper and more depressed
My life is on the verge of collapse. Doctors don't want to help i haven't been to work in months and every day is getting more and more difficult to manage. I never thought I'd end up so mentally crippled in life and because it's invisible no one understands what I'm going though. With such a lack of energy now I don't think I can fight for much longer because I don't even know what the end goal is anymore. I'm so tired of everything..
Thank you for this ❤
Oh my goodness this may be the answer. My parents think im lazy, but this just may be a possibility. I might have adhd, or add (according to my friend with autism and adhd). A big chunk of the things said in this video are what i go through all the time. Though, i may never find this out, since my parents never want to get me tested. Hell, in preschool, one of the people thought i was autistic. Thank you for making this video.
Its fairly simple. If you didnt have it since always,its propably not a trait. ik this is way too simplified,but its an easy first part of seeing it
Crazy how Phsych2go js posted and the video is already reaching 1000 views already.
I feel like I'm overwhelmed by everything even though I have some simple tasks to do, when it comes to doing something I like, I completely am isolated from my surroundings for example when I draw something or learn a new language, but it all goes away when wanting to do a simple task, I feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed by a lot of thoughts at once, to the extent that I started feeling that I live in a dream and it turned out I've encountered a psychological condition called ( de-realization), it feels like that none of what you experience is real even though you are aware of this feeling but you still can't tell if you're going to die if you jump off the roof.... All of these feelings are accompanied by complete exhaustion, disgust, tiredness, scattering, and generally not wanting to do anything even if it was only to talk to someone, this is how I feel now
I've been so far paralized like this for last 3 years...
3 years of existing....
I'm 68 and now realise that I have been ADD/ADHD all my life, I just thought that everyone was the same as me. Can you believe it.
The mental paralysis part when talking with others is something I struggle with on a regular basis. It’s hard to effectively communicate with someone you care about so you speak but it always seems to come out incomplete and wrong.
3:00 - _"This R2 unit has a bad motivator."_
I can relate, R2.
I can relate.
Lately I feel so tired all the time and unmotivated to do anything, I have been super depressed so idk
I have a partner that is only 5 years than me and they are not sympathetic and has zero understanding of ADHD
Talking burnout, heres a great idea my mom had awhile back.
you can think of depression, as deep rest. Depre - deep, press - rest.
It's like the bodies way of telling you that you REALLY need sleep, and like, RIGHT now.
