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.
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 Australia 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 Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Who else here knows they have to pee but you don’t want to stop what you’re doing to go, and then you see if you can do a couple more things on the way there and barely make it?
My life
These are so spot on: 👌
- Constipation- 💯
-Justice sensitivity ( can't stand 'unfairness)
- Hatred for 'small talk' - ugh 😑
-Skin sensitivity
- emotional dysregulation
I always thought I was super empathetic
So surprised when someone pointed out my random 'rage' episodes😢 😢
Rage episodes due to Covid vaxes
Auto immune issues hair loss
My constipation was because I didn't wait long enough to finish going to bathroom.
I’ve been a social warrior all my long life. Never for a moment did I think it was related to my adhd,
Me too! And most (if not all) ADHD-ers I know are social warriors 😅 You are an awesome, passionate human!
Wow. I didn't realize many of these were related to my ADHD..... 😮
It's interesting how similar baby of these are to autism traits. I kind of wonder if we should think of ADHD and autism as existing on two parts of the same spectrum.
The latest revision to the DSM V has moved closer to that.
We shouldn’t. They aren’t the same at all. May as well put literally everything on the same spectrum
I have dual diagnosis ASD and Combined ADHD and yes gut issues are huge
@@G__U__T__Sdefinitely two separate conditions
@@G__U__T__Sfrom what I’m reading, they aren’t the same spectrum, but they’re related in quite a few ways.
on immediate release, med… have not tried time release. Constipation was a problem at first. Wasn’t drinking enough water. Stool softeners help.
I might be grinding my teeth again. Check with my dentist…
Also, try to solve world problems. By myself.
Caught myself clenching my teeth when you mentioned bruxism 🤦♂️
Yep, it's all day every day 😬
I call it the shit of a 1000 wipes
LMAO
@@AntoniasUniverse i new ud like tht baby huhuhuhu
Apt description and yes have suffered going from one extreme to the other and suffered with haemorrhoids that required multiple surgeries

I wonder if the link to constipation can also be neurophysiological. After all, the gut has so many nerves that it is sometimes even called our second brain. And ADHD being a neurodevelopmental condition, to me it would be quite plausible that the digestive issues aren't just caused via proxy by behavioral changes, but a direct link could play at least a part.
There also is a lot of overlap with autism. Especially the digestive issues, justice sensitivity, hating small talk are very common autistic traits as well. I remember I was reading Donald Duck as a kid, and I hated the unfairness of what Gladstone Gander did to him to the point that I scratched his head off the page 😅 And I think I wasn't even that small of a kid back then. I just could not stand his smirking face there!
Pretty much all of this is also correlated to Autism as well.
jup to all... thanks for this video it gave me a clear view that it makes sense i feel this way. When i try to tell someone that i think its related to ADHD i get ''you think its all related but its just your personality''... which makes me thing im a total jerk then...lol
Im ok now :) started meds a little over a month and changed it halfway so still trying to find what will work.
I feel you! There's actually tons of things that having a different brain changes about your life, but of course, it is invisible, and so it clearly doesn't exist (according to society). I beliebe you will find your meds and hopefully keep being yourself no matter what they say ❤️
I believe that a gastro issues stem from constant cortisol surges
Me: severely annoyed by a child singing their three new favourite words for ca. 1000 times
Also me: a child who would sing her new favourite word for 1000 times minimum.
How did my parents survive? 🤣
So many of these are struggles I didn’t realise could be linked to ADHD!
I've always had chatty kathy pop up about an hour after i take my vyvanse. I talk about everything and anything. Its when i know the medicine has hit.
These last few months, i know the medication is leaving my system because my skin becomes super itchy.
I am unable to sleep, think, or be a working member of society or even my household!
Its been so bad I've cried and cried and looked into overdoses, thought about getting hospitalized for hep.
Ive changed so many things about my life, but nothing has helped!
So i realized today actually, its an intense condition that occurs worse the evenings on days I've taken my vyvanse. Then within a day or two of not taking my vyvanse its goes away. If. Take it again, the itchiness cimes back.
Sounds like a histamine reaction
I treat mine with lots of caffeine and energy drinks along with lots of physical activities that I love and lots of vitamin supplements
My lived experience can confirm I am in a battle with being constipated for many years. What helped me most was making a conscious effort to have one or two large 24oz hot green or black teas while im working as a consistent, daily thing during my work week. Also, I try to follow my watch's stand notifications so my bowels and lymph system is more physically mobile. Along with my tea I make sure to take some Psyllium Husk Fiber capsules and try not to eat 30 min before or after doing that. I like to try to eat a cut up apple every day or blueberries or red rasberries as an alternative. I also make sure to drink close to 8-16oz of tea with the capsules so they can do their thing (which is basically to turn into a slime). And never everrrrrr push when you poop. You need to wait for urgency even if you're uncomfortable. You will eventually naturally have a bowel movement if you're doing all these things. It will become easier than ever, you won't create or aggravate hemorrhoids, it will change your life and you will feel so much better. also life-changing: get an after-market bidet... i don't wanna poop anywhere but home.
The small talk thing... super awful. I wanna crawl out of my skin even having chats with people I LIKE. I dont want them to notice that I'm drifting further away. I dont want them to think I'm an airhead. I want to escape the situation BADLY... like a caged rat. I get super anxious in those situations and just hope they wont comment on the lack of eye contact, the darting eyes. I used to be so direct and confident when I had access to medication. I specifically remember dipping back into an everyday fog when i was taken off them... and now its so hard to even see someone to get back on them. Already waiting 7+ months in the US and somehow know I'll get stuck with the psychiatrist that decides in advance they're gonna avoid treating me with stimulants. Wooo.
Aren't some of those symptoms an overlap with autism?
You have to wonder are people with ADHD the problem or is the world the problem? And yes I understand the irony.
A mix of both for sure. Late stage capitalism doesn't help anyone's mental health.
Teeth grinding (been confirmed by several dentists), emotional sensitivities from anxiety to outbursts, always wanting the truth to prevail, being awkward at small talk.
Started my adhd med 6 weeks ago after 59 yrs of chronic idiopathic constipation it’s gone. Unbelievable 😮 but true
Which medication?!?
I feel that my heartbeat increases a lot after I take the medicine. I'm taking another one to fix this. days I feel good and others bad. do you go through this too?
Part of what helped my was work on my breathing exercises and general mindfulness. I found that I could still have an emotion without it taking over my outward personality. I can then deal with it later instead of just being overcome in the moment. The stimulant then also didn't affect my heart rate anymore either
I don’t know how much you exercise, but cardio will help a lot. Your resting heart rate will lower and thus even with the increase from the medicine you shouldn’t really feel it.
I do sometimes. It helped that I started drinking decaf coffee and try to have a lot of water in the morning. But also.. it gets better over time! That's definitely a thing as well as what the other replies have suggested
@John Moore buuut, be careful with cardio after taking your meds, it's best to do cardio in the evening or before your meds
I put EVERYTHING off. Including going to the bathroom!
I always say if it's 5PM and it's my first pee, it's been a VERY productive day 😂
@@AntoniasUniverseI have to pee every 5 minutes.😂
lmfao yes sometimes I wait to go take a leak because I don't wanna get up its crazy, I know I am damaging my bladder.
Probably the amphetamine if you take it, stims have this effect usually.@@foxiefair123
Wow this!! I have suffered from constipation since age 12 and wasn’t sure why. As an adult trying everything imaginable to regulate it…having nutritionists tell me to just get up early everyday at the same time is too hard for me, realizing I never could discipline myself to do anything regular
I thought the problems in the toilet come from the medication
Maybe also? I've always had them :(
Thank you for your videos😭💓 I can relate to everything here. Grateful to know it isn’t just me.
Dammit it's so hard to even go to this place and share some stuff, it feels like oversharing...
Binge eating / snacking is a big one for me. I've used it as an amplifier - like when I get into h.focus mode and also when to uphold it longer. Amplifier and catalyst.
Let's add light sensitivity. All kinds of sensory input sensitivities. Sometimes whisper both feels and sounds like those large drums the jungle guys bang on. :). I find that light sensitivity often triggers other senses to be overloaded. It may start with light, then usually smell follows, and then sound. I wore sunglasses for a long time until I got some nice filter glasses that is meant for migraines. I can drive in the dark with them np, but it still filters what it needs to filter for me to be comfy.
Otherwise all that's in the things in the video.
I find it HIGHLY frustrating that nobody thru all of it thru all of the years never asked about adhd before one of the kid was tested...
Wow I’m 50 this year and was diagnosed ADHD 3 years ago.. however constipation has been a cronic medical issue of mine ever since I can remember. I’ve been hospitalised too many times to count, and surgery I can only just count on 2 hands… 😮 I have overwhelming sense of justice to the point it’s where my career path took me.. I am driven to enable others for justice and what is right. I can not even enter a conversation unless it sparks my interests otherwise it’s painful. I typically do not go out, I do not mingle, I do not visit friends and friends do not visit me. I am terrible at making calls also…
Constipation is a result of eating a plant rich diet. When you move to a ketogenic diet mostly protein and fat and reduce fiber intake then your bowel movements improves. According to professor Georgia Ede and prof Chris Palmer, this type of ketogenic diets also improves mitochondrial function of the brain cells and improves symptoms for mental disorders.
Seems like diet and constipation is linked to this fundemental mechanism that also creates ADHD symptoms
ADHD since childhood. One of my pervading personal traits is the strong drive for Justice! Never knew that before! Thanks
Just shattered a lower tooth from grinding. hmmmmm
wow! so mush things in one video.... you opened my eyes.
Impulsivity committing Infidelity should be #1 or #2.
never had this issue. had chances. not sure why.
What about getting in too deep topics all the time. This is also extroversion because we need to talk to process idea. As for constipation. Seriously setting up reminders to cook and take lunch help a lot. Magnesium if needed also helps to loosen things up. Drinking water also. This constipation may he due to dehydration mostly. Otherwise after a meal one can have a movement about an hour later. I call it "one in, one out".
That's
Gastrocolic reflex😊
Unstoppable justice yessssss
Small talk is exhausting. I dread parties.
YES! All the masking must be the culprit for the very real social exhaustion of meeting new people :(
I have all of these except for nightmares ✌
Heyy! So you almost had a BINGO 😃 I can relate! Though I have nightmares quite often 😭 sending you lots of positive vibes!
cut the sugar out of diet including bread/grains starch. Anxiety will drop
It does help! I was much better off when I did 2 years without sugar. I'm trying for it again!
bro the justice one is such a vague and widespread norm you cant say stuff like that just to make you feel special. i take vyvance so i understood most of it, but like i said its quite common with humans to feel a sense of justice.
was looking for this comment seems like no one noticed this
Of course! Everyone has all these things. Everyone gets distracted sometimes too. We're talking about how often it happens and how much it affects you.
Here's a quote from one study:
"Justice sensitivity captures individual differences in the frequency with which injustice is perceived and the intensity of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions to it. Persons with ADHD have been reported to show high justice sensitivity, and a recent study provided evidence for this notion in an adult sample. In 1,235 German 10-to 19-year olds, we measured ADHD symptoms, justice sensitivity from the victim, observer, and perpetrator perspective, the frequency of perceptions of injustice, anxious and angry rejection sensitivity, depressive symptoms, conduct problems, and self-esteem. Participants with ADHD symptoms reported significantly higher victim justice sensitivity, more perceptions of injustice, and higher anxious and angry rejection sensitivity, but significantly lower perpetrator justice sensitivity than controls. In latent path analyses, justice sensitivity as well as rejection sensitivity partially mediated the link between ADHD symptoms and comorbid problems when considered simultaneously. Thus, both justice sensitivity and rejection sensitivity may contribute to explaining the emergence and maintenance of problems typically associated with ADHD symptoms, and should therefore be considered in ADHD therapy."

@@AntoniasUniverse Ok i like this study.
But i have a question, this study is connoting to the idea that people with ADHD have a likelyhood of being more reactive towards their situation.
Do you think this can fall within a persons personality? so by nature hes calm less reactive but since he has ADHD he expresses his emotion in an unnatural manner.
Side note, ive ben taking Vyvanse for a month now, im 19 and was always incredibly bad at school. I had started taking Vyvanse and have been skyrocketing ever since. iv'e been watching your videos and they've been very helpful so thanks for sharing your journey.
This is insane 😮 I have had so many issues with this and have ADHD
You are not alone! It's so wild how far-reaching the impacts can be.
