It's funny to me that what you put forward as coping skills is stuff I used to just do on my own anyway but got so much hassle from my family because they didn't "believe in autism". "Why do you change your clothes every few hours?" BECAUSE THESE ONES NEED TO COME OFF DEBORAH

[SS-ints]

My coworkers don’t believe how done I am on fridays. Everyone’s out having fun and I’m at home crashed -and recharging.

Thank you! It’s 3pm on a Sunday. I’m sitting on my couch still in my pajama’s. I’m trying to will myself to get up and do all the things I had planned but am feeling too overwhelmed to start.
You have just broken down the steps to help get me moving!! 💕 So grateful for this content.

YES! this is the content i need now. im tired of the 'relatable' content. now i want to know HOW to manage my AuDHD. and while i might be doing some of these on my own too, its nice to have it quantified and saved for reference when needed.

As an undiagnosed adhd, I can confirm that i won't drink it if it doesn't have a STRAW.

[ProdLaVae]

I have adhd, and without knowing I did all of these steps myself already! So happy to see I’m not alone, your channel really feels like a safe space! <3

1. Reset body, give new sensory input like change clothes
2. Drink water
3. Move body (walk?)
4. Tidy A Space e.g. work space
5. Add new smell, e.g. scented candle
6. Add dopamine, e.g. by doing a hobby/interest

(I need this list to reference back to when I'm having a day like this, as written instructions)

Okay... I've come to the realisation that i probably have ADHD. Never heard of a dopamine crash. This happens every day to me.

[crystaljankowski]

I didn't realize how much just changing your hair and clothes could make a difference. That sensory I'ma have to give that a go!!!

[kiwiflowers]

Wait wait… is this what I be going through sometimes…? Like no joke some times I.. “feel weird” and I don’t know why and really apathetic and then when I clean it helps

[pinkdiorrr]

YOU ARE AN ANGEL- i did my 2 months of laundry in 20 minutes bc of you tysm

[lillyc]

It happened once for about 3 months I got up for work but in my days off I didn't want to get out of bed . Bathroom breaks only and then one day I was just like get up and go. Now I know.

[HellSoy]

This... It's an ADHD symptom?!?!?! Omfg this explains ALOT

[selfdestructin]

This video actually did help me get out of bed. I followed the steps with the video and i felt a little happier and more motivated. Thank you!

[Atlasintokyo]

I have autism and ADHD and I didn't know that when I put my hair up and change clothes, that was why it was helping me feel better. I never really realized it was because of my sensory issues.

my adhd brain lost focus after seeing THE cutest keyboard

[MyTimelord]

Thank you. Idk why but I've had ADHD my whole life and no one has given me any advice on combating this. I get dopamine crashes really bad. Probably because I also have manic depression. I feel like this might help so thank you!
