welcome to another episode of wildly inaccurate uneducated and incredibly stupid claims about adhd
they just get them all addicted to drugs well that's right chad i'm so addicted i
keep forgetting to [ __ ] take them admit it he forgets what happened to the usual
pile of dirty dishes in your room i just started using the aim might as well principal does that
mean well i'm gonna go down to the kitchen at some point so before i go i always tell myself
and might as well take the dishes with me you fold your laundry too yeah i started lying to myself to
get my chores done so like with the laundry i told myself that i only had to fold one t-shirt
which was a simple enough task for my brain to handle and then after that my brain was like ah
all or nothing and i ended up folding the rest of the laundry well it certainly works
castaways we are castaways avoid them oh this makes me mad attention deficit hyperactive
disorder is a mental health disorder that can cause above normal levels of hyperactivity and
impulse behavior einstein was a typical case of adhd and you can pause and read all that but the
most important part is that he basically lived by his own rules this should not be described to our
children as a mental health disorder this should be described to our children as a superpower
that man had the ability to think so far outside the box that normal people didn't even know what
the box was and you're gonna go tell your eight-year-old son to run away from that very
same ability because he can't sit in a classroom for an hour without tapping his feet have you lost
your mind how many people how many geniuses do we not know the name of today because somewhere
someone told them that they have a disorder that they should come be a normal person come abide by
our rules not your own [ __ ] you being a normal person is nothing you should ever strive to be
be yourself every bit of yourself and don't let anyone ever take that away from you
adhd thought of the day if you are five foot nine that makes you 69 inches tall nice
i never thought i'd have to say this but there is only space in this family for one unstable
sibling and i have held that title for a very long time so you are going to have to get it
together what it's like being married to someone with adhd
castaways we are castaways tell us where the money is and i won't feed you to the fish i
had a fish once i wanted a ring toss but i didn't realize that tap water actually kills
fish so we died and i'm warning him for a week i think she's for real so hard to tell with school
you've been dealing with this since 9am his name is jerome how much did you give her we didn't give
her anything all natural baby sorry where's my money wait what money the money your boss stole
oh that money sorry i forgot oh my god yeah last time i saw him in a suitcase she was hanging some
guy on jeremy jimmy jerome jared steve no it was kyle i think god i'm so bad at names
behind a scrabble he looked exactly like that guy from that 80s movie god what was that movie
it's gonna bug me it's gonna bug me so much what is that movie hey can i borrow your phone to look
it up what no okay just type in 80s car chase movie god how can you talk this much and give me
absolutely nothing hey had you done your research you would have known to kidnap me at night instead
of in the morning because i take my meds at noon so you got to deal with this she's funny princess
bride that's the movie princess brad doesn't even have a car in it i like her what it's actually
like to have adhd because i'm sick of seeing these fake tick tocks about people who say they
have adhd but they don't so here is it from an actual diagnosed person myself here's what it's
like number one you forget basic basic things tasks that you have to get done every day like
i'll forget to brush my teeth i'll forget to brush my hair before i go to school etc etc number two
the most annoying one is the fact that we pretty much have a speech impediment because of like how
terribly we talk like different words will come out at different times when they're not supposed
to come out like it takes like three tries for me to record a freaking video because i'm just like
word vomit i already forgot what number i'm on because you know i forget things a lot the next
one um frick oh yeah the days where you forget to take your medication you feel freaking amazing and
the next day that you take it you literally feel like crap crying for no reason oh my god i will
literally just start bawling my eyes off for the dumbest [ __ ] i've ever like it doesn't even make
any sense like for part two because there's a lot more all right here's part two of adhd because you
guys kept asking for in the comments so here we go parts for adhd people who like music we always
randomly burst into song even though most of us can't sing well that might just be about me but
we don't talk about it also i know i need to shave shut up i know stop reminding me another
thing is that we use our hands to talk a lot and i'm doing it right now but this is just
how i talk like i will literally go like like this all day like every single time i talk to
somebody and it is the most annoying thing people find it so frustrating another thing walking into
a room and forgetting what you walked into the room for like serious oh shoot where where right
this one is probably the most important and it is the most frustrating if you have adhd you
are always like unfocused on everything you don't feel like doing but that one thing you are hyper
focused on you cannot do anything but it like for part three are you in my room sitting like that
doing your homework my brain constantly needs new stimuli to stay engaged that's why i also
bought this new pencil so you're actually motivated yeah but i also have to be held
accountable that's why i invited my friend jimothy over howdy i didn't even notice wait
but don't you usually wait till the last minute to do your homework yes but i worked it out with
my teachers and now i have multiple deadlines for portions of the homework so this portion
is due tomorrow for you that's awesome howdy get over there local feelings should not be rebounded
it's tough to be things i thought were normal but were actually my undiagnosed adhd part one
impulse spending every single time i got paid and leaving just enough to cover my bills lack
of motivation are feeling super overwhelmed with very simple tasks therefore not really doing them
properly because i just could not figure it out for myself being super flaky with friends
appointments other obligations with school feeling super angry in large crowds having to write down
everything but still forgetting losing interest in the things i used to enjoy or hyper focusing on my
niche therefore making it my entire personality lack of confidence in my communication and social
skills which led me to self isolating all of the time getting super irritated by certain or loud
noises make my environment get messy because i thought of cleaning it was just too overwhelming
thinking that i was born a 60 average student crying when i got frustrated or just snapping at
people randomly and finally sustaining toxic relationships because i thought i deserved
poor treatment because i wasn't able to handle myself i just got a new tattoo and today it's
itching with the power of a thousand woolen sons so today we're going to talk about skin
picking and adhd or more specifically what we call body focus repetitive behaviors or bfrb's
so what is a body focused repetitive behavior well it's a repetitive behavior that is focused
on your body think things like nail biting or skin picking or hair pulling or nose picking or biting
the inside of your cheek or cracking your knuckles many people with adhd struggle with bfrbs and i am
one of them i compulsively pick at the bottom of my feet and for many people with adhd bfrbs are a
perfect storm we notice some kind of stimulus like a hangnail or a pimple and so we start
picking to remove said stimulus and then we lack the impulse control to stop and so then becomes
a cycle of picking or pulling again as you find new stimuli now if you struggle with bfrb's there
is plenty of help available therapy medication even support groups have helped people with bfrbs
it can be embarrassing to talk about but you're definitely not alone it ain't just so bad
i ain't praying for these yay come kick back
three weeks ago i was diagnosed with adhd at the ripe old age of 37. because girls in
the 80s and 90s didn't have adhd we were loud and obnoxious and we talked a lot and we were
messy but it was just hormones but either way i received my first prescription of adderall today
and i just took my first pill so we're gonna go on an adventure it has been approximately
five and a half hours since i took my first pill i don't hear music in my head anymore
i'm genuinely not sure how to feel about that it's so weird to just be thinking about the
thing i'm about to do instead of thinking about all of the things i'm supposed to do
is this how a brain is supposed to feel like what the what what is this i read today
i like read a story like a legitimate story and i actually cared i learned all the characters names
i know this video is probably super calming to most people but for me it was the most anxiety
producing video for my adhd brain and here's why i thought what about when someone takes one from
the bottom then it's all done it's just done how many containers like that do you have to buy where
do you buy them and you have to clean them it means unloading the dishwasher first and then
loading it again or hand washing which is even worse this one i can get behind it looks easy
okay but then what about when you want to put something tall there like you just have to move
that what do you do those will never ever be drank they're sitting in a shelf that i can't really see
why did that pop have to be in that container behind the nose smells aren't you supposed to
hang bananas i don't know i never buy them because we never eat them in time i don't think my toilets
have even seen a bleach tablet in like months and my nemesis every time i go to the bathroom
it's empty don't have time to floss my teeth i can't even leave the toothbrush on for the full
two minutes my sensory stuff tells me that that's too strong okay now where do you get that jar do
you get it from dollar tree do you get it from online do you have to shop for it or different
styles you have to wash it first and you have to wash it in between also smells too strong you put
it back every single time and then take it down every single time not me buying 10 refills that
i can't see forgetting about them and buying five more and then never refilling that's how
my brain processes this video hey how's it going you working on that history project
i'm just taking a break would you stop harassing me about my homework all the time
please
hello and welcome to my series titled battles i've decided to let adhd win part two first up
we have voicemail these are dreadful i will not be listening to any of them they will be
sitting my voicemail box until i get a burst of inspiration three months later and delete them all
next up we have left-hand turns i will be driving around the block
number three on our list is caffeine i will be consuming as much of this as my heart desires
i've accepted the consequences and i am choosing joy next up we have recipes i want to make it very
clear that recipes are guidelines and if you catch me using one it will be a great creative license
additionally i will not be measuring chocolate chips chopped vegetables spices or vanilla
this is not an exhaustive list and finally we have matching socks thank you that is all yay
again hey let's talk about adhd and processing people with adhd sometimes or maybe a lot of times
have trouble processing information that's presented to us i'll give you an example jaisa
only likes ketchup on her hamburgers so if she's sitting at the table watching her ipad and i say
hey do you want pickles on your hamburger there's a good chance she will say yes please without
averting her gaze of course i know well enough to give her a couple of seconds for the brain to
process the information and then i'll ask a second time are you sure you want pickles on your burger
and then you can see her brains sound the alarm as she pops up and goes no no no the reason for this
is because our brain is not only focused on what's directly in front of us but also about 400 other
things simultaneously so a simple question like do you want pickles on your burger has to wade
through a veritable sea of thoughts before the brain picks it up to process it this is only one
of the beautiful things about having a brain that goes at warp 9 with breaks made out of pudding
