Friends! Should I upload more long form content like this?

“Your brain is allergic to boredom” - I hadn’t thought of it that way… I like it!

My favourite way of getting somewhat healthy dopamine is getting into a hyperfocus state. I can easily trigger it with studying whatever is interesting for me at the moment. It's great, I feel really good, I get insights, but - I can barely do anything about what's not interesting to me, including work, unfortunately.

if someone with adhd can produce a video this high quality than life still can be good for me ❤

Literally sitting here dealing with this right now trying to explain to my husband that even I don't understand why I am happy some weeks and then sad for weeks. The roller coaster is so absolutely exhausting.

The best way for me to get natural Dopanine, is dancing around in my home with happy music and the interactions with my two dogs and two cats... 😊

I’m a ghoster. I’ve let many friendships go across my lifetime and I have so much guilt and shame and sadness. 😢

I'm in tears. Thank you so much for helping me understand my partner ❤️. I know he is adhd, but understanding how it manifests in his life and therefore in our relationship is amazingly valuable. So happy to find you!!

[crissycobain]

Music is my dopamine. And I love to dance with it!

If I haven't watched your video a week ago, I would be suffering for my whole life.
I always knew that there is something different with me which I couldn't understand. But after watching your videos(i watched all of them) I got all my answers and I now look at it as a gift.
Thanks man.

Very interesting, explains why I've struggled with drug addiction for 20 years H is the only thing that slows my mind down, 8 months clean btw 😊

My favorite dopamine is foraging. The rush I get from finding free food. Especially something I haven't found before. When I found a lion's mane mushroom oh my Gosh.

I'm 62 years old and just found out recently that I'm ADHD. Your content has opened my eyes, wow I wish I was told sooner. 😢

[terrimartinez]

A wave of emotion and tears came rolling down with the whole explanation! I have been pin pointing the routines I keep falling into and this just helped me with the missing pieces I needed to “control” the low lows I keep having

[Lunearien]

Lmaoooo the post-it notes *everywhere* IS LITERALLY ME I feel exposed 😭😭😭

[SusanaXpeaceu]

Wow. This is a good video. I'm 54 and have "achieved nothing" but I am on one level relieved (and proud?) of myself for not being in debt, not addicted to anything, not overweight. My job is really boring and going to a pilates class at lunch time helps me tolerate it.
Geez yeh I have ghosted a friend, but she wasn't out of my mind. I do get that leaving it too long thing. I am friendly with a lot of people buy I don't really have a close circle. I have gone through phases of being really inactive, messy, solitary. Right now I am feeling capable and energised. I will subscribe.

This describes my entire life from not knowing why I suffered, discovering and being diagnosed ADHD, experiencing Medicated life, and battling & fighting to quit the meds and create my own solution with physical, mental and emotional work beyond what I ever did before to force myself to gain control of things like the creation of a morning routine, a new reality of life via intense daily exercise, Muay Thai training, food intake correction, acceptance of (and NEED for) appropriate recovery days, and overall mental diligence to do it again and again over and over, every single day f day without fail. Motivation channels on YouTube ie Motiversity especially compilations, have helped immensely to focus and push myself harder.

Scrolling through comments and replaying the video again is the most common symptom of ADHD😂

[MissCapu]

I had a vision after a remark by a friend who told me that : "If you don't want to lose yours stuff, it's just a question of Will and habits". After stopping crying, I thought : "Really ? ". So I went to my doctor who advise me to see a specialist.
I'm at the beginning of my journey of diagnostic and understanding of the mechanism of my brain and yours videos confort me in my process. It was such a relief, because for the first time, I didn't feel alone and guilty of my misses, and also see the beauty of my brain. So thank you.

Putting this video on repeat. Managing my ADHD has gotten better, but still overdo it trying to attain more and more dopamine - then the unexpected crash. Am returning to basics trying to mimic my behaviors during childhood by having entire days blocked off for self-care, alone time, and VIDEO GAMES! 😁
