The actual day-to-day real-life symptoms don't seem to relate very strongly to the official diagnostic criteria. Linking these would be helpful.

And he never made another video after that cocktail…. 😳

I checked almost all of those boxes 😬😆

I think I have it, because I couldn't finish three minutes of the video and decided to save it and postpone it for later (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

Most of those symptoms apply to me...

When u started listing things i just started laughing my ass off, i relate so much man.... :D

Makes me question if laziness even exists anywhere. There is physical fatigue/illness, deliberate refusal due to ethics or practical judgment, lack of interest, or ADHD. The word lazy is consistently used by one person using it to describe another who won't bow to their manipulation tactics. There is always a valid (to them) reason why a person won't do something. So, it's meaningless and irrelevent.

Wish you made new videos

I remember I set my stovetop on fire once. I just stared silently at the fire for a few seconds before grabbing a pot, filling it with water and slowly pouring it over the fire. I also witnessed a car accident in front of my place and calmly called 911 to explain what happened. My girlfriend was unsettled by it. I didn't know this was an ADHD thing but I have a lot of other symptoms so it would make sense if thats what it was.

This video helped me alot thanks ❤❤❤

ADHD or not, you absolutely can overcome it. It can be 100x as hard, but it's 100% possible, as long as you keep going and reflect.

Great content thanks for sharing 🤙🏾

Holy shit, when you started listing off everyday struggles you might have with adhd I do EVERY SINGLE ONE, I have a hard time answering those question tests because I over analyse every question and don’t want to give a false answer screwing up my diagnosis, but when you started listing off day to day symptoms, woah.

Dude thank you I'm 30 years old and I never graduated and learned to read around high school. Mom never wanted medicine for me but this is the push for me to try it out. I'm bad at math my brain overheats and gets foggy. Maybe this will help.

It feels like I'm in these signs of having ADHD. IDK, but I don't know since some people said I don't while other signs said otherwise. It feels like I don't do much in school, and I have backlogs in the past, but I don't know how to manage it anymore now I stumble upon this. I thought I have one when my parents (My Dad) said I don't, which it's often worse for me to know if I have one or not. But now, it all makes sense, as while it is not 100% sure, but it's close to there. So thanks and have a wonderful life.

Look it's a Goku shirt

I am going to be open and honest here. I am a 24 year old musician who was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 13 and went on Adderall until I was about 15-16. I stopped taking it because I felt like it made me be less of a “social butterfly “ and almost changed who I was in my teenage years. I started experimenting with substances like weed and alcohol when I was 16 or so. But it wasn’t until I was around 18 that i tried cocaine and Molly. Both of these drugs did something completely different to me compared to weed and alcohol. The coke didn’t make me have insane amounts of energy or make me talk people’s ears off like what it usually does for most people. It focused me, motivated me and it turned me into a way better musician pretty much instantly. I used it every weekend for about 2 years straight, every time I did it was strictly for music purposes. It became a crutch to me, it got to the point where I couldn’t write lyrics without being high. It then got to the point that every other aspect of my life started declining then causing my ability to write Even while high to decline. I ballooned from 200 pounds to 250 in those 2 years and decided I needed to make a change. So I went back on adderall and I immediately knew why the drugs worked so well for my creative process. My adhd was untreated my whole entire adult life and it was the closest I got to being “normal “ and didn’t realize it. I changed my life that day. I lost 40 pounds in 3 months, I’ve written the best music i have ever written completely sober and everything else has positively changed as well. Medication may not work for everyone, but trying is better than living with all the motivation in the world but none of the energy to do it just spinning your tires stuck in your head. It gets better, trust me

ADHD is destroying my life I rather be in jail sometimes just to slow my thinking down I have a family that relies on me I have overcome certain aspects of the disorder. I want to know the truth about how it was created unless it has always been around. I feel have been used as a lab rat.

You do know that ADD is a thing, right?

I started waking up too early since I started taking Concerta long release

My generic Vyvanse lasts about 7 hours. If I'm driving for 10 hours it means I drink coffee for the first 4 hours then take the meds. Why? Because with gas stops and tourist traps I'm bound to make it longer. After 7 hours I crash HARD for about 2hrs and driving is much more dangerous. Safer to go without meds than to drive during the Vyvanse crash.

TIP: Create a ticket fund and insurance fund. I don't care if it's only $10 a paycheck do it! I finally am doing it now at almost 30. It's not giving yourself permission to speed it's helping not add more chaos in your chaotic life WHEN you need it.

I had to stop halfway through the video because almost everything he talked about in this video matched me

And migraine fybromyalgia

Hello Brother. I'm so glad I listened to your video. Absolutely 💎 I'm not even sure I have adhd,still waiting on feedback after filling out the big questioner 😅 Thank you

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my son 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.

Nice video! Not sure why he started u on the lowest dose of one when u were maxed on an equivalent. 😊

When you say yes to at least 80% or more of the adhd symptoms and situations. 🥲🥲🥲

I got through the whole inattentive systems part of the video thinking, "wow, maybe I don't have adhd!" Only to get to the impulsive symptoms and have my entire personality laid out 😭

You have the same ADHD symptoms that I have, we're like twins

Thank you this is so informative I'm 58 and only now in recent months starting to see why I am the way I am!

This made me tear up.. I felt like you were describing me. Thank you

this video was really eye opening for me

Yep, same boat mate

I go through relationships like underwear too, they only last 2 weeks 😥😥

Thank you for posting this. My husband, who is now 80 yrs old and whom I've known since we were teens, I have suddenly discovered by your post, that he probably has ADHD. There was no support or diagnosis for him when he was a kid in 1955 and moving forward. He has many of these symptoms and has had since he was a kid. For me, now 78 yrs. old, explains why his interactions with me have been so difficult and have affected me deeply. He has found ways to live what seems to be a "normal life" so I hesitate to even show this video to him. The question for me is, how to live better with him.

Who else got 6 in innatentive and 39 in hyperactive

Thanx man ❤ never related so much

Ok dude... You listed my existence. I am planning on going to speak with a doctor to get checked. I am 40. Been really struggling the last 10 years. I have probably had this my entire life as most of what I do today I have done since I was a kid. I never thought I had ADHD because when I push myself to focus on something or actually get to work I am a beast. But that getting to beast mode part is the real struggle. I used to drink every night and thought it was for social reasons. But now that I think about it, it was the only thing that calmed my mind. I gave up drinking when I found out I was a diabetic. I have dipped since college baseball (20 years probably) and I started smoking weed after I quit drinking. Funny enough when I started to smoke it was the only thing that helped me calm down. Oddly enough weed helps me get through a highly stressful job that requires a ton of focus, attention and a lot of high pressure situations. That is one of the reasons I figured I must not be ADHD because I perform well. However I am 100% the guy who starts 3 hours before it's due. I usually nail it and get it done right but... It is a lot of stress and pressure to do so and I have gotten by my whole life through school and college that way and now my adulthood. Where I think I see it most is with things I don't find interesting or that bores me. I can't focus on those things at all. Hell I was once in a bicycle crash that knocked me out cold after I flipped over a car all because I was so bored doing homework I just jumped up and went for a ride. At work I will just agonize through the boring days and I might have a bunch of work to get done but I will just push it off until there is more pressure for me to do it and then all of a sudden I can work well. I need to get this fixed as I think it is becoming a problem and is affecting my ability to be a happy person.

I am obese. I have ADHD and I just realised they are likely related. I just started on meds. I am so hopeful it helps me with my cravings and my impulse control.

Wow I relate to all of these except for hyperactivity/impulsivity - I don't have that. But attention deficit, wow, I've never seen a video explain it better than this one. Constantly misplacing important things that I need which makes me waste a lot of time, fail to focus on tasks that I don't find interesting, poor time management because of that, constantly distracted (in my own head) despite there being no clear distraction in my environment. I thought all of these things were normal. I think I have ADD (no hyperactivity)

When I was 16 or 17 it began with sleeping tablets, then later progressed to codeine and then I became a huge binge drinker and smoker for a number of years. It later moved onto weed and then my biggest vice which is benzos. I was addicted for 10 years, cycling through some tough times in life which exacerbated the usage and turned into a living nightmare. I had withdrawals, I was so incredible unwell. I was miserable and I was buying them illegally and in huge amounts, I put myself into debt because of my addiction. I am finally getting an assessment for ADHD in a month, due to my friends who have ADHD saying that they think I have it and a strong family history of it, with my sister just being diagnosed at 30. I'm looking forward to seeing if this self medication has a reason and to finally, at 29 years old, live a life worth living and one that I am proud of.

80% of that is me and I used to take the meds in middle school but it’s a bad idea that I never kept up with it cause now it all makes sense

I feel the shame but I’m the only one living in my skin and in my experiences. I’m struggling and I’m tired of not moving forward.

I watched this because I have hard time finishing my work and keep procrastinating, and I have 50 lesson plans and a internship Journal in one week because I have piled all the work. While watching this I wrote 3 lesson and went out for smoking 3 times.😂

I stopped counting around 40 after that i was just like fuck it i need to go to bed. Or as you say lay here for the next hour or two till my brain turns on the stress dreams

I'm an alcoholic and learning a little late in life that i have pretty severe ADHD and might be on the autism spectrum. I'm almost 25 learning all this and having a hard time finding a way to deal with it
