Great resources/channels to check out:

It’s really hard to describe to other people how horrible it feels when you want to do something and cannot.

[ttul]

As a fellow high functioning ADHDer, you speak precisely to so much of my experience. The sensation of pain to get started on a big project. The constant need for stimulation at all hours, which others see as “boredom”. Bang on, man. Thank you.

[OwnnOfficial]

I cried watching this... This is literally my everyday life....

[coldpanasonic]

I was diagnosed with adhd a few months ago, and I've watched many other great youtube channels that talk specifically about adhd. But none of them gave me the deep practical understanding of adhd as I got in your video. Thank you!

[QuitCut]

Relationships and adhd… so so so difficult. I’ve been with my husband 5 years and he’s very very patient with me. I was diagnosed when I was in the 6th grade as a learning disability with difficulty to follow instructions. Never had a real name attached until I was 23 and in college got officially diagnosed and started on medication. I’m 33 now and I still struggle, but medication has made a huge difference. Medication keeps me employed and out of jail basically 🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone else with adhd have one important thing to do that day, and the whole day revolves around that one thing making it impossible to do anything else because you’re so hyper focused about not forgetting it or being late for it? the hyper focus sometimes drives me nuts.

[greasy]

I recently found out that I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. I am 25 years old, and nobody ever bothered to tell me. I've been horribly cruel to myself for years and years and years. Beating myself up for never finishing what I start, not being able to start things at all, and just being unable to function in the way that I saw other people function. As a result, I've been suicidally depressed and have hated myself for all these years. I always felt like there was something wrong with me. I've thought that I must be lazy, irresponsible, or worthless. Why can't I just do the thing that I have to do? Why can't I finish all these projects that I started with so much enthusiasm? Every unfinished project made the burden heavier. This video feels like a cannonball to the gut. Everything you spoke about that you struggle with, I struggle with. Some things have always bothered me, some I never thought about until you mentioned them, but I experience them all. I've come up with lots of ways to trick myself into functioning along the way but could never strike at the heart of the issue, because I didn't know what it was. I cannot find the words to express how much of a relief it is to finally know what's "wrong with me" (in my self hating vernacular). I can finally take steps to understand and work with myself. On the other side of the coin, I've done objectively really cool things. I've taught myself to play six instruments, taught myself woodworking, mechanics, archery, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I've read a LOT of books lol. I hope I can learn to maximize the benefits of the disorder, minimize the issues, and learn to live with and be a friend to myself. Thank you for uploading this, it's really been an eye opener.

[kaizaruova]

This video made me cry, because I never thought someone could relate so much to me. I thought I was the stupid, not normal and wrong one. I am not diagnosed yet, but planning to get an appointment with psychiatrist. It’s really hard for me to manage my work and career when I can’t do things and I couldn’t even understand why I couldn’t do them

[paulhickey]

Mate, this resonates so much. I'm new to understanding my symptoms etc, and it sounds like we have many similarities. Big move to share. Thank you for this video. Big love.

[mindddfuzzz]

I hope it was therapeutic for you to talk about your condition and how you're living with it. I can say personally that I learned a lot from this video, and I enjoyed watching it so thank you for making it .

[megans.]

Listening to youtube videos like this is actually one of the ways I manage my ADHD! It's a lot easier for me to cook/clean/etc if there's music or a podcast or a youtube video playing to keep me stimulated and block out distractions. Thanks so much for the awesome video!

[Kirtahl]

Its a double edged sword, BUT I HAVE A SWORD! Hell yeah to this one.

[londonphotographer]

Really enjoyed this. Giggled often and lovely to relate. I've only discovered in my 50's that I have ADD. You've made it a little bit more fun today. Thank you.

[foxymc]

Just been diagnosed last year and just hot my medication. So, I'm doing it tomorrow. At 55 years old, my life has been so hard. But now I know why.. I thought I was thick because I couldn't retain information, I couldn't stick to anything. Don't mention relationships. I really just want them to understand me. ME . Without them disowning me with speaking the truth . Yes, me too with how to say it properly without upsetting people. Thank you for the information it's really helpful . 😊

[FirstLast-kviq]

This video was 1:00:29 of me going, holyshit I do that to. Of course not entirely but I was surprised on how much I relate to how you feel. The biggest difference for me is that I still feel like I haven't figured it out. Thank you for making this video. This was a great watch.

[DeanRuborn]

"Thanks you watching, if you stick around to the whole video, you probably don't have ADHD."
*laughs in adhd"
You fool. It took me the whole morning to see all this with constantly pausing.
But seriously, thank you for showing how you deal with it and for the tips.

[januarygirl]

Your regimented habits around not losing keys, wallet, phone, etc is so helpful for us ADHDers. I'm 43 and was only diagnosed this year. It explains so much 😅 i think girls that are motor mouths and messy and disorganized fly under the radar more. I had to see it in myself first. Now I have point of use stations in my house. I'm still organizing after getting on medication that is actually helping! The feeling of relief is so amazing to know i will have more control going g forward because I know how to trick myself into doing things. I work with my brain instead of against it. Some days (like today) I just didn't get the things done i needed to do. I did a whole host of productive things. Just not what I had planned 😏🤷‍♀️ but now I don't beat myself up and feel guilty for the lost time. It wasn't lost, I used it in the way that felt right in the moment and that is OKAY! Knowledge is power ✌

[williamfoley]

Thanks Brian.Im 66 and was diagnosed with ADHD in September22.Jesus loves you.

[ellyveldez]

I was working on some thing while listening lol * Multitasking *
I was diagnosed in fifth grade and was never given shown are pushed to learn any tools to help so I’m starting this journey now. Thank you for guiding the way.

[ovariesRus]

I'm not one to leave comments on videos but I randomly stumbled upon yours. I'm in my 30's and listening to everything you are talking about in your ADHD videos really resonated with me. Things I've been doing my whole life that I thought were normal are normal to me so that I can function. Your route planning quirk is something I do as well that I always thought was normal. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos because I too am a developer. The things you are saying/talking about I have verbally said myself word for word. I just didn't understand why I felt the way that I felt. Again thank you so much. I'm excited to start this new journey and implement the things you do in your own life to finally get mine on track.
