When your adhd wont even let you pay attention to this video:

[-benny-]

Feel jelous on the people who actually got told by their parents that they have adhd and that it isnt their fault. I wondered what the hell was wrong with me and got yelled at for 17 years until i found out that i had adhd on my own

[DominikPavel-fkwb]

I got diagnosed with ADHD since my teenage, used ADHD medications for years. I spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Also 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.

[JDarkoo]

I lost count of how many times I zoned out during this video about my disorder.

[themicrowavedpancake]

Me: my ADHD isn’t that bad
Also me: getting distracted reading comments rather than watching this video

[saraxxf]

i told my mom i might have adhd since i show a lot of the symptoms and she just rolled her eyes and laughed at me

[mavahenderson]

looking at the good effects of psilocybin mushrooms on ADHD, I had a test, the effects of just one dose of psilocybin mushroom gave me an encouraging result.

I'm 34 and successful in my career as a procurement team leader and just realised I have ADHD 😅 now I understand why I get so tired all the time to look normal... I always wonder why I had to use so much energy to get things done as fast as other people. No matter what you if want to get somewhere and improve, you can. You just need to put on the hard work 💪

[myselftyearsago]

ADHD: exist

Schools: I gonna pretend i didn't see that

[Alys]

When your parents think there’s nothing wrong with you and it’s just a ‘mental block’ that you have to push past ✌️

[life-gjvs]

Don't worry guys your not the only one who has adhd. We are all here because we know this hurts deep inside and want to get ride of it but can't. We all suffered depression while we grew up and have the same feelings of wtf this is. I know how you feel. We all know how sad it is to have adhd :(
whoever is reading this I just hope we all have a great life and good luck for the rest of our lives ❤

As a person with ADHD, another thing I hate is the anger issues that come with it

I get angry at people for the stupidest reasons, and tend to almost wanna do crazy dark stuff to release it. Whenever I share these thoughts and stuff, the responses I get usually make me feel like I’m some sort of psychopathic horrible person.

That’s why I almost never speak, or hang around people, too, because I’m insecure about what people think about me (and I’m also an introvert, and people think introverts are school shooters, adding to the responses I get when I share my thoughts)

I also hate that kids think ADHD is some quirky personality trait, and crap like that, because it is NOT fun and cool to live with

[lightyagameme]

My adhd symptoms:
Move hand left to right randomly
Looks at any kind of light source with the left side of my vision
Always itchy
Struggling to sleep
Struggling to focus with conversations
Looks at mirror and talks to self
Randomly changes subject of conversation
Walks weirdly
Always akward

Edit: it's 2022
My adhd got worse to the point where I can't sleep unless I listen to asmr or any noisy sounds because I can't relax for some reason

[tranngoc]

I have ADHD and I'm so afraid that saying something impulsively could end up being hurtful or confusing, I decided to repress and filter my words. But it becomes so stressful that I would have mental breakdowns every now and then.

[BlackLivesMatterFreePalestine]

" You remember what you want to remember"...now I'll always remember those words.

[bryantdonald]

Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here.

[ADHDPatrick]

I wish I had gotten help sooner, I had to wait till age of 29 to get diagnosed and put on medication. Great video!

[sosomyloveone]

This why it took me hours to do homeworks even tho I’m so smart ...

[yolandagabriellemusic]

This made me super tearful hearing someone say they experience the same thing ☺️

[angxlVR]

I'm so glad that I found this video. For years now, I thought that I was some broken black girl with terrible anger issues & always alone. My mother thought the same thing as me. Now, I get to talk with my mother to look in with my doctor or my pediatrician. I know I need help, and I need it fast. I don't want to hurt myself and anybody else because of my actions that I can't control. Thank you, Psych Hub, for showing me what's finally wrong with me. Thank you so much.
