ugh i hate people that work at the bank
shh i work at the bank here is a dog do not tell anyone
people with adhd have a dopamine deficiency when a neurotypical person wakes up in the morning they
have anywhere between one and a hundred percent dopamine in their brain but when somebody with
adhd wakes up in the morning they have about negative 50 they're craving dopamine and this can
cause a lot of issues for us medication can help with this but even if you're unmedicated there's
a ton of ways to get that hidden dopamine in your brain to make your day easier there are certain
foods that are rich in dopamine like dairy protein eggs nuts totally normal dark chocolate brownies
regular exercise is huge for people with adhd most people actually prefer working out
overtaking medication music i literally can't get anything done unless there's music playing in the
background i thought you said you had a busy day today yeah i'm in adhd paralysis what's that my
brain physically won't let me do anything what caused it sometimes nothing causes it but today
it's because i have a package that's coming at 8 pm you can't do anything before that
package comes yeah i like to call it my waiting mode you're not just being lazy no my brain's
currently going like a thousand miles per hour telling me i should be doing things but i can't
this one's for all the neurotypicals who keep telling me stuff like but adults can't have adhd
because we're not running around all hyperactive and impulsive do you want to know what else
counts as impulsivity impulse shopping tell daddy bezos i said hello and i think a part
of the reason adhd people have trouble going to sleep and avoid going to sleep is because
for a period of time you have to roll over close your eyes and be bored for a while which to us is
painful and if you can't sleep then that boredom lasts indefinitely which to us is terrifying
whoa
gotta love this adhd treat so this is a verbal issue for me and that's because i talk a lot
and because i talk a lot most i have to say most of the time is quantity over quality and those
most of the times i'm either looking like an idiot or an [ __ ] on my best days i look like both
examples of this behavior could be something as simple as me relaying information properly
or me trying to give you a compliment coming off backhanded i'm either a saying exactly what i mean
but being interpreted in a way i didn't mean for it to be or b not saying what i mean at all i'm
just like so easy to talk to but because i know this about me i over explain everything so you
might hear me say does that make sense i know i'm being really cute about this right now but it's
actually super shitty and being this way has ended friendships for me sometimes it's like russian
roulette i never know when i'll say the wrong thing but other times it just feels like nobody's
assuming the best of me it's awkward but right now i just tell people i have adhd and hope they
understand i would so appreciate any advice around this thank you so much part two of having adhd and
being misunderstood here are those examples i'll just do it myself what i mean is i don't
want to burden you and i'm also afraid of failure what it sounds like is i don't think you can do
this you wouldn't understand what i mean is i'm constantly having to explain myself and i don't
have the energy for that right now what it sounds like is i don't trust your knowledge believe it
or not does that make sense what i mean is i'm constantly being misunderstood and i want to make
sure i'm not doing that now but it sounds like is i don't think you're very brave that doesn't make
any sense what i mean is i'm frustrated that i'm not understanding what it sounds like is you're
doing a poor job of explaining this and for a fun one no don't dye your hair what i mean is i really
like the way your hair looks now what it sounds like is i don't think it'll look good on you
the majority of what i say unfortunately comes out of my mouth without me having any time to
think about it and if i'm over stimulated and not taking care and understanding how i'm feeling i
can be quick to anger and i'm only ever angry with myself so a lot of what i say comes out wrong what
are you doing right now i'm in pause mode because i have an appointment at 2pm wait hold on let me
check for the 700th time yep still 2 pm okay so you still have plenty of time can you help me with
this thing yes i will help but i will be stressed the entire time all right i'll take it come on
like a lot of people with adhd i actually hate sitting in normal chairs
but i have this dining room set so when i moved into my new place
i decided to make it more adhd friendly and include a couple of options for chairs that move
this is the moista i really love this chair if you want a lot of movement and
this is from ikea you can lean forward a little bit and it also spins way more easy
before amazon prime wow they said eight to ten days and my package came in eight how nice after
prime if i don't get these cat coasters within 24 hours i'm going to kill myself
food hack no taco shells use tortillas no ice just freeze some water what do people do in the shower
for 45 plus minutes i just sat in the shower for an hour thinking about how mercedes has three e's
all pronounced differently adhd culture truly and genuinely is being a jack of all trades master of
none i really just be wanting to dedicate all my time and energy to one thing but my brain is just
being like what if you also learned parkour i hate it here when i go to someone's house and
they tell me to make myself at home first thing i do is throw them out because i don't like visitors
for the last time what is the usefulness of this little pocket in ladies panties
that's where we keep our aldi did you know that every person with adhd is actually a magician
everything they put down just [ __ ] disappears
okay so like hundreds of people have asked me to do one of these so i'm gonna but you can't get mad
kadeosauruses put a finger down hyper specific adhd challenge put a figure down if you're
a recovering gifted and talented kid who was repeatedly told that there was no possible way
that they could have any type of mental illness because people with mental illness can't do well
in school put a finger down if you've ever ghosted someone because you totally meant to get back to
them and then you put it off and then you put it off and then you put it off and now it's been
months and it'd be super awkward and weird if you emailed them out of the blue so you just plan to
never speak to that person again put a figure down if you have like three good friends and like a
thousand acquaintances and then put another finger down if you are an empathetic people pleaser
so your friends and your acquaintances never know what category they fall into because you
bend over backwards to make everybody feel like your best friend and then put a finger down if
there's something within arms or each of you that you could totally put away but instead
it's been sitting there for like a week hey can i talk to you for a second yes right here
we go we're gonna focus definitely not gonna do that thing where we trying to focus so either
we end up spacing out [ __ ] i'm doing it right now okay seriously focusing now
focusing now you look so serious this looks important i've already missed half of it
just maintain eye contact and hope he doesn't answer the question what do you think about that
[ __ ] how did the interrogation go he got nothing he just kept on rambling about his childhood
trauma the entire time we use less truth serum next time that's the craziest part we didn't even
use the truth so basically this is what happened what the [ __ ] did you just say what do you mean
okay let's rewind and go half the speed you go get some food yeah probably all right cool yeah cool
all right cool hi hey room temperature pepperoni okay so we done did a thing we done did a thing
oh you're not an organized person because you have adhd and that really doesn't come naturally to you
well what if we just force you to keep trying to be organized for the next 20 years and see what
happens wait you have a lot of anxiety now that's weird how could this ever happen what happens now
oh well i didn't get enough time to prepare for that it's another adhd challenge do what this
video and show me the pile of journals that you had where you bought a fancy journal and
then you wrote on one page of it and then you forgot that you had it or you lost it and so
then you bought another fancy journal and you've done that like 15 times okay time for some xbox
turn on the tv now i just need the cotter wear tf i know i put it on the bed where the heck
i forgot to eat today where did it go
where did hey you have adhd and your brain works differently than a lot of people and you do have
a lot of strengths you just have to do things in a different way than other people what if we just
advised you to pretend that you don't have adhd and then we'll just get mad at you for failing
let's try that one this is what it's like taking a test with adhd okay time to start this i'm very
much ready dear lord in heaven it's timed okay so it's 30 minutes which gives me a grand total of
not enough time hold up i just wasted a whole two minutes which idea represents dual federalism
wait what did that say which of the following represents dual federalism wait okay wait which
of the following ideas represents dual federalism okay lemma re-read again okay halfway done maybe
you'll take a nap later no focus on the test i can make a tick talk about taking tests with adhd
nitrogen monoxide one minute left okay i think i did good and done 9 25th what it's like living
with adhd i need to grab my wallet from my car eight stairs plus seven stairs equals
ah give me a second sixteen stairs it's 2 pm and i haven't had breakfast why am i like was i doing
oh yeah my wallet
[ __ ] it's cold super nice [ __ ] my car's dirty payday again what was i gonna grab again
when did i leave my water bottle in here oh well
i'm pretty thirsty now that i think about it wait i forgot to grab my phone charger
oh you take stimulant medication for adhd because it's the most universally effective treatment
on the planet for most people with adhd well i'm pretty ignorant about that and i have no idea what
it's like to have adhd so i'm gonna make you feel bad for them and i'm gonna tell you how dangerous
that is okay adhd memes of the week this one uh this is the reason i don't have silence in my life
ever because every time i hear my own thoughts i'm like nope no good this one i didn't know
this was an adhd thing until i got to tick tock i i thought it was just part of my personality
that i do this but um like everything else in my personality no i found out it's because of adhd
this is everyone else gonna start using this because i'm gonna be sending this at
905 am every morning uh this one has called me out personally and i don't care for that
okay one of the most accurate descriptions of my adhd i've ever seen i didn't realize i had such
a fast brain until i asked someone who didn't have adhd to tell me they're like in a dialogue
and after 10 seconds they were still on the same topic and i was like i'm in outer space by now
this one is my favorite his face he's too fast he's too fast for himself let me know if you've
seen any good ones things i thought everyone experienced before i found out about adult adhd
everything is so loud and that pisses me off turns out you can live life on a lower volume
and getting very overwhelmed by sounds in places like grocery stores it's just another symptom
i'm not lazy do you have a task to do and you're kind of just sat there in your head thinking about
the task but not getting this house started that's adhd paralysis and oh my god it's frustrating as
[ __ ] it's not normal to have to remind yourself to pay attention when someone's talking to you
often if someone's telling me a story halfway through or sound like they're talking
singlish and it's not that i'm being rude and not listening it's just my brain somewhere else
like always so that's just a few things let me know if you want a part two and press the
plus button if you want to follow my adhd journey from diagnosis to medication thanks
