Dude same 😂

IKR even watering the flowers

except when I sat the flowers by the sink I would have just decided to go ahead and water them and then I might as well water all the flowers in the house. then my lunch would be cold so while I'm reheating it I would find something else to do, and then forget about the food and find it later and then realize why I'm so hungry!!!!

The only part I didn't expect was the fork, but from there. Yeah. The flowers were absolutely a Chekhov's Gun.

I would’ve never remembered the water to begin with sadly. But yeah, I could see where it was going like I was watching myself, lol

This is such a mood oh my god.

Yup very relatable 😂

NO 😭

damn u eating pasta while watching this? what are the chances? 😂

Relatable.

Same!!

Wait, hyperfocus is not normal? 😮😅

Im soon 40 and still want to believe that this is normal state🙈 I constantly do these things, and often carry around unnecissary stuff around the apartement, while cleaning or when im about to leave the flat. Also Ive stopped getting surprised or angry with myself when neighbours ring the Bell to tell me Keys are in the door. And the chatterbox in the head. But I still dont know why I should get a diagnose, how would it help me, or If Its Autism, ADHD or just system overload. Or just what its like beeing a mom. But then, Ive been like this since I was a kid. And there are soo many other small things as well Ive always thought of as me beeing weird and different🥵

Omg yesssss!!!! I’m 47, and it blows my MIND that some people have only 1 conversation going in their heads at a time. I’m like, how does that even work?!?

This is me. I didn’t know others are not like this either.

The only logical conclusion I can think of is they’re visiting someone else’s house. Nothing else makes sense. 😅

​@@amandab3946Thank you, now it makes sense,🤔🤠🇬🇧🇮🇪🙏🕊️

​@@user-sleepy33 Yeap we imagine things like ocd sometimes.

She said that she just had a cleaning spree

@@marianneelliot-hansen Thanks, hope you're okay, eat well ,sleep well, detox ,have fun, enjoy nature, 😏🕊️🌠🇬🇧🇮🇪

I didn't even notice that dgvx

It’s a must I currently am laying in bed with all my drawers from my night stand open 😂

I think mines open rn (im at work)

My wife is infuriated about me leaving cabinets open.

lol i leave cabinets open ALL THE TIME, it drives my mom insane!

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT QUIET FEELS LIKE, LIKE HAVING ADHD MEANS YOU’RE NEVER ALONE AND ITS NEVER QUIET 😭😭😭

@@Ka-Chow95_ I personally don't mind it when I am awake but at night that guy refuses to shut up!

LMFAOOO

@@Ka-Chow95_ YES!

​@@Ka-Chow95_ WAIT, DOESN'T EVERYONE DO THIS??

My favorite line... Currently running through my head😊

Same😭

Same🥲, i wanna dig myself a whole and cry....

The constant 10 tv stations on at once in my head 😢

@@Sufferingsassafrass my brain be like my computer tab list. 1 is playing music 3 are watching movies, one is having an error and idk where tf the shouting is coming from....

@@todorokishouto9997 i feel you and this is such an excellent description, thank you 🥺

Yep, that too

The other day I sat down outside with my neighbours cos it was nice and sunny and it took me a minute to realise I had 2 forks on my plate 😅

@@sarahroberts7374 just a back up fork! No biggie 😅

Lol, yes! I thought the only thing missing was a disaster of a messy house! I'm impressed by how clean and tidy her home is for a person with ADHD!

and then you're panicky because you don't know if you actually used the fork for something and forgot and it only looks clean so you better put it in the sink anyways but should you really waste water cleaning it if it's not actually dirty and "mom, do you know what the fork on the counter is for?!" before you inevitably clean it anyways because better safe than sorry and by now you probably should do the other dishes in the sink but it's trash day and you need to put it on the curb and oh, you should check the mail that's a pretty stamp that grandma used where did she get it why is that car honking at me... oh sorry i'm in the road. and that previously clean and recleaned fork ends up sitting in the sink with actually dirty dishes for several days. the end

It's not like this for you? it's always quiet?

and you are an awesome mom!!!

Awe..best momma ever, you are ❤

also different levels this is actually way to calm and quick for me. Id say times this by 4 and I'd have to be starving

My son's specialist also told me to stop telling him more than 2 things at once. It helped a lot.

Yes! That part got me too. Just the constant hum of chatter. Took me a lot time to realize it’s not that way for everyone else

Do people with adhd hear that all the time?

@@jennifer6833 yes. This was a great video highlighting that. Your brain never stops “talking”

@@jennifer6833 people without adhd don't? it's always or most of the time quiet in your head? there is also a music playing in the background of all of that almost always and it changes channels by trigger words usually if it's not stuck on one.

😂😢😂😢 finally at my age I am validated. I'm not the only one! And the voices were the part that made me laugh and cry at the same time

No for le its that when I get up to get the fork I open the drawer and then forget what i was trying to get😂

She also forgot the part where she put her fork down, sat down to eat, remembered that she put her fork down, then went to the place where she *thought* she put it at just to remember that it was in the refrigerator because she aint pay attention to where she put it. 😢😂

Well the first fork she grabbed was the last one in the drawer and lost it while getting the water

You forgot about 10 other diversions and then a time skip to 5 hours later, where you still haven't eaten and are starving but the food is now too cold/hot/ been out too long and must now be binned and omg, NOW what am I going to eat, my fridge is full but I don't feel like any of those options, let's pull out the takeout menus, hmm too many choices, ah of course! But oh damn I took so long they are closed now, etc etc.

OMG yesss! The one thing I have that I'm never see any where is that she just walked up to the flatware drawer and pulls out a fork. A random fork. Without the deliberation of whether she would need a dinner size fork or a smaller fork.... And the choice being based on what was being eaten....ugh....

I was just going to say that- normies have this too occasionally. This isn’t exclusive to adhd

adhd is overrated and used as an excuse for their miserable behavior

​@@Bos_Meong Shut up

@@Bos_Meongadhd is not “overrated” (how does that even work?) Also can you please elaborate

I don't have adhd but this happened a lot. My head just keeps thinking about something else while doing something else

@Puck same for me. Verbal reiteration enforces the priority of the task

I have severe dissociation and concentration problems and oh my God, even saying stuff aloud with every list/reminder/calendar/alarm I can do this atleast 5/6 times in one go 😭

Damn that sounds like me

Yep. The music. !

“It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem it’s me” just scrolled past a video with it

This!!

I don't have that issue thankfully since I'm basically never thinking about absolutely anything; just the musical tune that changes from time to time without fail😊

Oh, the monotonous background brain music...!

Hey.... u never know when u gonna need it 🤠

🤣

I left my remote on the out side of the window of my car, I went shopping, came home and it was still there.😉 you just have to laugh 😂

I was in the supermarket once thinking, man, this place smells like trash. When I looked down, I saw that I had brought my - full - trash bag with me :o

And then not remembering what you were actually suppose to bring with you? I have that struggle, bringing something else than what I actually wanted to bring.. I have to pat my pockets 2-3 times to make sure I have at least my phone, wallet, keys and headphones with me. D:

yeah it's exhausting sometimes.

Do you play songs in your mind on repeat and don't know why? That's happens to me all the time, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep.😭

Sometimes I'm washing the dishes and I end... Later my mom have to remember me what happened with the rest of the dishes and I'm like "What dishes? I wash everything... Oh wait, there's was something else?"

​@@MooMooTheWolfi sometimes wake up to / wake up with songs in my head

​@@solala1312omg😢 All the time...

😂 they say I don't have it but that's exactly how it sounds in my head. The main monologue and this constant chatter of other random stuff in the background.

wow as a non native English speaker I wasn't able to understand the background monologue, thank you for giving me an idea 💡

Yeah you can tell this is a fictional skit bc she actuallt found where she left the fork in under an hr

Same.

She forgot the part where the phone rings and she finds the food sitting there the next morning

...

Yes, I get the fits too. Just crying bcz it feels like I can't do anything

i thank past me for setting future me up for success 😌

Yeah. I do have to say though, I thought it was "Yay, there's fishes!" until I saw this.

@@yucki2604 REAL OMG NO ONE GETS ME WHEN I SAY THIS

Thanks for the apt review

Omg I know, I heard that and felt it in my core

This made me laugh because it's so true.

😂 yeah, that ONE thing being: eating that bowl of pasta salad from lunch!

If I don't eat my bloodsugar gets low and I have to sit down eventually. So how Do you make it till sundown?

What do you mean suddenly? We know exactly where that time went- we watched helplessly as it flew by at a genuinely terrifying speed while we doomscrolled on our phone instead of eating our damn pasta.

not the same thing, but sometimes i'll be about to grab lunch and then i'm like "well it's only 11:30am, i'll probably put on a quick video. oh wait, that youtube short looks interesting, i'm gonna click on it! oh man, that was pretty cool, i'm gonna scroll for a bit more. okay, NOW i'm gonna get lunch. oh wait, i actually have to do something, i could do it later but i'd probably forget so i'll just do it now. okay, i'm going to ACTUALLY get lunch now. wait, it's already 2pm. should i really have lunch right now? i'll probably not be hungry by the time it's dinner. okay, well i guess i'm gonna go play tears of the kingdom now." i haven't been diagnosed with adhd so i'll just assume that i don't have it because i know self-diagnosis isn't good, but these things are REALLY relatable sometimes.

yessss

yesss thiiiis

I never realized this is why i always need to listen to something especially when doing chores/brushing my teeth etcetera

So your lazy

@@TheTyphoon365 how does that equal laziness

I would’ve had to stop and run a quick vacuum somewhere or probably started to make a bed at some point before sitting down. Lol.

Cuz I saw that and for sure would’ve stopped to do it

Same. I like to order the cutlery, it's kinda fun for me. Leaving anything out of place would make me insane... I also have OCD.

ME

I think one note of “The Final Countdown” played in the bg

But only a small section of the song on loop

OMG FR

@@-Spinach_Soup- and then when you're like "i want to vibe to this song it's nice" IT SOUNDS 1000x WORSE THAN IT DID IN YOUR HEAD TF?? SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENS

FR THO

FR THO

Best case fr

Yup

At this point Im thinking my 19 yr old has adhd and noone really notice until now.😢

You’re awesome! He’s a lucky dude and the world just needs more people like you in general! People willing to actually listen to one another with patience🩵

@@Hmy8799 thank you, I appreciate that.

thank you for being like that to him... If you observe the simulation, she's doing everything regardless of the voices, those "million voices" can feel literally painful physically, but if you've been like that long enough, it's like "ok, that's how everybody around me feels so i gotta function regardless" if your brain allows your body that is😅

All the voices 👏👏👏👏👌 I always tell people I always have at least like 5 layers of thinking

I find podcasts, let's plays, and the radio are my best friends whenever I'm on my own. The timing and beats of conversation/music help me not get overwhelmed and such. Best of luck to you!!

There's no need to scold yourself. It's not going to change anything. I have a hard time finishing my meal without getting distracted, so I find it is it really annoying when my friend keeps getting up every 5 minutes to do something else. So I do scold HIM, which he finds equally annoying. 😅

imagine that with 10 years...

I never knew it til now, but I must be undiagnosed ADD or ADHD because I do exactly what this video shows and what @philleppegauvinguy said! It's soo not a joke and it really makes me feel kinda better to know what might be wrong with me. And the person that mentioned playing music with a beat...come to think of it, I think I do get more tasks completed when I'm listening to some upbeat music with volume up loud! I hope this is a positive turning point for me & I learned something about myself! Thanks guys! 😊

When I get overwhelmed I just pick up something (tablet or paper) and write down everything with all the steps and just start checking them off one by one like in video games

I didn't know not everyone has this, lol.

The voices make me going crazy...i cant watch the video because of this

@@litha9894 welcome to my head

Wow this is literally my life

Yep, always constant chatter.

The absolute best feeling

I felt this one!

My microwave has the loudest beep every 30 secs once the food is done. Wish it wouldn't beep, but it's probably for the best 😂

@@SamuelsReview I normally will stay close to the microwave so I can open it 1 second before it beeps so that when I do forget it I won't be able to tone out the sound from it cus it feels new to hear

Opening the microwave hours later to make food only to see the food you meant to reheat ages ago is such a humbling experience😂

My microwave does reminder beeps and it's honestly a game changer

Im definitely in the toning it out group. My man will go crazy though and maybe bring the food to me 🤔

This actually happened to me.

Oh god, this! Phone in the freezer, the fridge, random cupboards, bathroom sink. I was once very late to work because I'd put my phone in my sock drawer while getting dressed and closed it in.

dude thats Alzheimer sign not adhd

@@username42 guess I’ve had Alzheimer’s my whole life then since I was a kid. 🤷

When I lose my phone and don't want to wait for the hourly "here I am" alarm that I literally have set on it I ask my daughter to help and this brat goes straight to the freezer every time. She knows me too well 😂

THIS OMG!!! So true ugh it’s the worst

Or you now need to reheat your food if it's really bad.

I can eat on Adderall, I just neglect to do so.

I’m actually functional enough to eat properly when I’m medicated…

Oh yeah

I refuse to once I'm seated 😂 Like, ill think about it, but I def probably I think I didnt leave anything on in there. Ah, wait one time me and my coworker left a waterbath filling 😅

I also agree that I will do half a task to set myself up for doing the task later.

i work in a lab as well and YES!!!! i also have left the lab, gotten into my car, and had to go back and swipe back in to clock out anembarrassingly high number of times lol

How thou. I was let go for being ADHD like this at the lab I worked at

I thought this was normal

I thought this was normal

I thought this was normal

I forgot I’d made that comment before

So lucky to have a consistent top monologue. I hate it when mine shifts mid sentence.

@@JawshMcCullaugh ~ Oh, nah, mine does switch, just not often. I can try to switch manually, which only works occasionally, and it’s funny cause sometimes it’s like trying to watch a KZfaq video at 42% volume while another video plays on the same computer at 100% volume and I’m pretending not to hear it. But mainly it stays one in front. Sometimes a second, ever so slightly quieter one. Having many switching constantly or having more then 3 being “in front” constantly would be absolutely terrible.

It’s really weird to think that people don’t have like 2-3 different types of thoughts at once while music is playing in their heads… Do people really get up to get a fork and just think nothing but “I am getting my fork.” That doesn’t seem right at all… How would they multitask? Driving and talking wouldn’t be possible for neurotypical people if their brains could only ever think one thought at all times.

It's the same for me. The "top monologue" is the ONLY part that's verbal. My brain doesn't just come up with dialogue/sentences on its own - only when I'm actively, consciously thinking. My subconscious/automatic thoughts are definitely more just concepts, ideas, daydreams, scenarios, etc... I'm not even sure how to describe or identify it exactly. No images for me as I also have aphantasia. To be honest I have a hard time fully connecting to what goes on in my own mind

This isn’t acurate to me gor one reason. I get all those layers of thoughts but not in words just concepts and images.

Like I knew I was ADHD but I really had to have this part spelled out for me to realize it's not normal

We DO have superpowers!!! 🎉❤

Even better when you were distracted and didn't notice the fork at all

WHERE ARE MY GLASSES, WHERE ARE MY KEYS, WHERE ARE MY EARBUDS, WHAT WAS I EVEN PLANNING TO NEED ALL THOSE THINGS FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

True! Where are the piles?! 😅

My room is always clean. I need it to be like that. It’s something I hyperfixate on a lot and it’ll stress me out and make me overstimulated if it’s too messy. Making the entire thing clean takes up most my day and I definitely feel burnt out and like I wasted so much time in between stopping to do other things I constantly get sidetracked with but yeahh..There are numerous aspects to ADHD as far as cleanliness or non cleanliness. It’s not always the same things haha

She said that she hyper fixated on cleaning so shut up befor I hyper fixate on bothering you

Right! Not diagnosed yet, but my house is a scattered mess. I clean but stuff is still everywhere. And I have so many places to look for something because literally nothing is all together in the same place. Plain old regular life should not be mentally exhausting.

I hate living in this hell.

Same, this happens all the time. Really frustrating. I hope you get to eat something today ❤️

Medicated!? With what!?? Adderall doesn’t quite my brain in fact it almost makes it worse 😢 that’s what I’ve been prescribed

​@@kay-collins Same, but it does help me so much with focus and motivation. One thing I've never been able to do is meditate... I don't know HOW anyone can quiet their brain so much as to not have any thoughts during meditation. That is absolutely unimaginable to me!

I tried CBD gummies for the first time, and the noise went away! It was like when the power goes off, and that hum which you didn’t quite notice is always there, stops.

Sensory deprivation helps. I’ll sit in a room as the sun sets and the room gets dark with nothing on around me (no lights, no anything) and just allow myself to get used to absolute quiet and darkness. It’s something I really enjoy doing because I usually have so much going on in my head at all times.

@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane - it’s not about quieting the brain. Focusing on trying to quiet your mind is actually a huge distraction. Meditation that work for me is allowing the thoughts to flow through without focusing on any of them. It just becomes a flow and you don’t pay any attention. You just let the thoughts pass. It relieves the anxiety and allows you to not focus on them. They come into your mind but they aren’t ever focused on.

I wish I knew the stats on what % of the time I’ve let my coffee or tea get cold before finally getting around to drinking it 🤦🏻‍♀️ I expect it would be around 50%, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s higher.

@msd7544 Get some of those tumblers that keep drinks hot or cold for hours. Some of them last a whole day! It's a game changer. It has saved me tons of reheating drinks or adding ice.

A lot of these behaviors and processes in the brain can present in similar ways , and I think it can help us with different disabilities all understand each other better. I have diagnosed anxiety ptsd and adhd, I find that some of the ways I process things due to trauma help me to understand my young autistic neighbor when I care for her.

So relatable 😂

That's the biggest problem with those adhd vids. They're all hiding the heartbreaking truth.

i found what you described scarily relatable! damn! hope you're doing okay tho ♥

I feel you🩵 I don’t think I have an inner dialogue either? I need to start paying attention I guess hahaha

I relate to your thinking style so much. Thank you for putting words to it.

I have what you just described and the ADHD ugh

Yea she actually foudn the fork in one go 😂

The background noise in my head is almost always screaming. I only know peace and quiet when I am finally asleep lol

@@YesJellyfish she actually noticed when she put down the fork. In my experience things just sorta disappear from my hands.

make sure to get a doctor diagnose if you think so!

Show it to a neurologist might help them understand how you came to think that and might actually believe you. From someone having a hard time getting retested

ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍʏ ɴᴀᴍᴇ 😂
