11 Things They DON'T Tell You About Gaming ADHD

Gaming with ADHD is a fickle thing to navigate. I love something one minute and forget about it the next. I also fall prey to many gaming practices because my brain just loves chasing carrots. Surely I'm not alone, right?
The game is called Galaxy Garden. Super relaxing and therapeutic!

11 Things They DON'T Tell You About Gaming With ADHD

[Mr_Fruit]

Let me know if this sort of commentary style video interested you guys at all and would like to see more! Looking forward to seeing/reading your thoughts. And for those curious the gameplay is from Garden Galaxy

[QbinLynxReacts]

ADHD is a blessing and a curse depending on the circumstance. Definitely relatable Mr Fruit

[nathanmellott]

Fellow neuro-spicy gamer here, can confirm that ADHD is a Buff and a hard nerf at the same time.

[jacobm]

I have never heard anybody vocalize exactly how i feel, thank you fruit, we love an support you in all you do

[satxn]

When you talked about how when people like warzone they will find that specific person and then that's where they will get that content. Thats how it works for me with your channel BECAUSE of my ADHD. Your variety keeps my brain happy and you have allowed me to find games I really enjoy even though I usually stop playing. Your content is great and I hope you never change (even though you kinda can't change ADHD). We will keep watching and supporting because we all love you! YOU! not just the games but for you your friends and everything in between. Keep up the great work man.

[Jelke]

I think I haven't commented on videos in about 10 years. Just wanted to say how much this video resonates with me. Especially the hyperfocussing and then dropping it the next day It's been incredibly difficult to stay focussed on my studies and certain games. Thank you for vocalizing exactly how it feels.

[danielwilliams]

Hope you're feeling better Mr Fruit

[MissRyukkie]

I'm the same way with Destiny. I love the game but sometimes it's overstimulating and I freeze up on what to do, sometimes I get bored before I even get to the tower, and sometimes I am playing for hours on end. The struggle is real.

[BitOfSmudge]

I have ADHD and was diagnosed about two years ago now, and I feel every single point of this video. I came to the channel through your Destiny 2 videos, and have stuck around because your personality is what drives your videos in my eyes. You take the games you play and you make them something more and its really entertaining. No matter what game youre playing or what youre going through, you do have viewers like you described that stick around for who you are and we're here for the long run.

[Eastwood]

You're not alone in this type of thinking Fruit. I enjoy these type of videos where you talk about things that should be talked about more openly. Stay strong king!

[jsipple]

I feel you so much on this man. I hope you get that because of my adhd your variety is super cool!

[sirmaerske]

As someone with ADHD and a little bit of Autism, I completely relate to this. I experience the same thing

[AncientCampfire]

I love your honesty and willingness to engage with your community, even if it's a mental health update, just as much as your content Mr Fruit. You have a wholesome group of fans and you deserve them all

[AgunZagunCom]

Thanks for sharing your experiences with ADHD, Mr. Fruit! I never seen a doctor or diagnosed with ADHD but that part you mentioned single player games are really relatable to me. I love lots of JRPG stuff but I just can't start them. Either I start, play a few hours and never play for months; or I start and play it for days till I finish it. There are no in betweens. I guess that's why I'm playing more casual games and (or) roguelikes/"few rounds and I'm done" (lol) kinda games.

[codyfrisbee]

Your content is always interesting to me. Has been my go to channel sense ur titan and space magic montages. And even if its something like this and all i gotta do is put it in the background and listen to it. Hearing u be open and honest. It always shows how humble u really are. Its 10 years sence thoes said videos? And i have watched u grow and u have even been my role model to start my own channel and the reason i bring this up. Is because i havnt uploaed to said channel for a year because i had a huge falling mentality and tbh watching ur videos or my supportive fiance was the only things that kept me happy. Ik this comment is all over the place.. the point fruit is ive been watching ur content for YEARS now and ive thought about reaching out be4 but never have. I just want to say is thank you! U really have helped out! And helped me decide what I want to do with my life! And you help me keep it straight! U also have helped with my downs. Thank you! And i hope one day i can meet my role model!

[johndesario]

This felt like therapy for me haha would love to see more like this Mr Fruit

[ChefDrizzt]

Hearing things like this is something that can touch many people, so thanks for sharing how you feel.
Best wishes to you in the future.

[SunnySpitts]

For me recently being diagnosed with adhd is great to hear the perspectives of adhd from a lot of people I look up too and follow on youtube. Thank you for talking about it and how it affects you. I relate to many of these feelings.

[hao]

this video just came at the perfect time for me. i’m not diagnosed with adhd or autism, but im going through the diagnostics process. i’ve been putting off doing a specific task for a while, and i started doing it today.

i keep fighting myself like ‘why can’t i just do this one thing that other people can do.’ i’m in a state of hyperfocus/hyperfixation with a specific thing, and it’s all-consuming. i took a break from the task and saw the notification for this video. and it got me through the task :)

i resonated with it when you mentioned never having a ‘main’ in a game. i used to be obsessed with splatoon(lmao), but i used every weapon at an average level, got good at it, then got bored.
when you mentioned going easier on yourself because of your diagnosis, i really hope i can reach that point if i do have it, as well.


im totally ranting but hwhs whatever
im usually a silent watcher of ur content but i appreciate this video :) it was really calming, and got me through what i needed to do haha
im not happy that other people struggle with adhd/autism/etc, but it feels nicer knowing that you’re not alone in this.

[AnsemFluffy]

This is 1000% everything that happens with me. I'm ADHD and OCD and it's kind of hell to live with, I call it my "Controlled Chaos, " and it sucks when I'm at work but also working as a cashier it helps me think multiple things at once so it can be a lot, but I have survived this long with it so it's a love/hate relationship. So my heart goes out to you bud, keep up the good work.
