I got diagnosed with ADHD 23 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and this was the first person talking about their ADHD that I could relate to. I wasn't finding myself relating to other people's experiences, and I was afraid that I was misdiagnosed, or that I was faking it without even knowing. this video gave me so much relief seeing someone else go through basically the exact same thing as me.
for anyone wondering, I tried Adderall and it worked while I was in school but I'm graduated now and it didn't help with anything, so now I'm just kinda here

I didn't get diagnosed until my mid 50's because ADHD wasn't a thing you could get diagnosed with when I was a kid. Every report card I got throughout elementary school commented about my absent mindedness and my daydreaming in class. Once I got into middle school it was all about my forgetfulness, tardiness, and how I wasn't living up to my potential. I grew up hearing how lazy and undisciplined I was and had no idea that my issues weren't character flaws. I'm so glad young people at least don't have to go through that particular brand of bullshit anymore.

I think the "walking in circles talking out loud" thing is partially based on the fact that it makes it easier to reflect on issues and form more coherent strings of thought than if you were to do it just in your mind where things quickly get muddled and confusing. At least that's what it's like for me, even though I don't think I have ADHD. I like talking out loud to myself about things a lot because it's just easier to stay on topic.

I imagine my ADHD like a shitty radio. I constantly have to tune in on the signal to keep the thought there, while also avoiding the LIGHT SPEED mental connections going on and all the processing as WELL as any outside forces stopping me from listening in on the signal. And I canāt even transcribe it! I have to jot down the thought physically!

Although I was technically diagnosed with adhd at the age of 8 or 9, I somehow just forgot my mom telling me about it so I proceeded to go 7-8 years questioning why the hell my 30 min hw assignments took me 5 hours to do and why I would get excited to pull up songs I like, only to immediately forget the name of it as I was typing it into the search bar. It was only during an annual where my doctor just off handly mentioned that "oh yeah hormones and the adhd are what's probably causing the mood changes" to which I'm just sitting there like, "....I have adhd?" and my mother just looks at me like I'm the dumbest mf on the planet. She insists she told me repeatedly, on both the day I was diagnosed and multiple times after my therapy sessions, but all I remember from that early on was playing with blue sand with my therapist and organizing the plushies on her shelf. Thank you for coming to my TEDTALK.

Oh wow, I thought all those things you mentioned were normal, and Iāve experienced all of them a lot. Even while watching this video, I had my phone in hand and was walking in circles around my couch. Iāve been wanting to take a test for years, but because of my dadās resentment to his own ADD (inattentive ADHD), I think that wonāt be possible until I move out. Overall though, I enjoyed the video, your animations are funny, you have a great art style, your a great story teller, and you truly know how to get information out the best way possible. Good luck to you Andy!

Iām currently under the process of being diagnosed for ADHD. Coming from hispanic parents, Iāve always been told that i tend to be lazy or too scared to do things when in reality my brain just doesnāt cooperate with me unless itās super urgent or art related. Itās funny that I intended to watch this video moments after it got posted but i immediately forgot and put it off for later x)
