Thank you so much. I had convinced myself I had ADHD when really all I have is good old depression which causes many of the same symptoms. That's why CBT and mindfulness and gratitude and exercise seem to help. Being with people helps too. I think my executive function issues are caused by depression, shame, hopelessness, anxiety and fear which I treat with avoidance and addiction (to buying books that I never read). You need a strong sense of self to be self regulated. And that's the root cause. You cant get started if you cant face reality because you have no sense of self and in todays sick culture, having a strong sense of self is much harder. I could not focus in school because I was tuned out due to emotional distress - with my home life. A lot of ADHD may be emotional and not neurological in its origin. Good luck and may your suffering be over.
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
I have just started on ADHD medication. I realise I have lived in a mental hell the last 20 years. You do not know what terrors you endure until it is gone. ADHD is not a trend or a woke-syndrom as some idiots want it to be. It is truly a mental illness. I am grateful I lived long enough to find out life can be experienced without constant meltdowns.

The emotional overload overwhelm, agitattion has cost me jobs& destroyed my self employment. Gotten really bad last few years. I want outof my skin when it's going on. It comes on for 3-5 hrs then goes away most days. .i get going crazy ruminating, looping how much time is blown. I spend all day to get a couple hrs of decent work or tasks, have a hissyfit, finally calm down or sleep, Then can do 10+16 hr straight no problems. Same crap that caused the adgitation earlier. What is that called. Dr said OCD drives my bus &add& depression ride it
I am a disabled senior with ADHD AND COMPLEX PTSD I CAN’T GET ANY HELP BECAUSE I AM POOR AND THE MEDICAID DOCTORS DON’T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO HELP ME! Do you have any ideas that can help me! I am desperate for help and about ready to give up
is there any good ways to implement some type of strategy to fix sleep problems? like for real ive had sleep problems in various difficulty through my entire life but much less as a kid. Kinda recall its been going since my early teen years and never got better just worse. But nowadays its super ultra hard to fall asleep at the right time because either im not tired yet i know i gotta wake up for work in 6 hours or less when i realize that or its super hard to get out of bed and i dont know why because when im out of bed i can start doing things but that subconcious barrier when im wanting to go out of bed but physically cant yet unless something urgent happens or that someone gets really mad at me for not going up or rather that someone says something that gets that "right energy to get up" to suddenly appear and then i can wake up for some reason and its weird because im trying all the time to fix it but always falls back to square one even tho some routines might have worked for a week or so but for some odd reason it always ends up with me going back to square one.
Thank you! It’s so true that others don’t see my everyday struggling and difficulties…I need to repeat firstly to myself that what I do or rather what I do not do is not intentional and I do not want it to be that way. There is so much blame and shame… I smiled at the alarm thing- I also use alarms for most of my tasks and it’s such a great help. And of course I need to be careful with the snooze/ stop button too😆
Much like antisocial traits, that can be brought about by genetic predisposition or environmentally or a combination. I wonder if there are trauma induced forms of adhd which result from underdeveloped executive function due to trauma induced dissociation. I know that I was highly dissociated by 2nd grade age 8-9 for me. I call it “the year of the paper airplane”, meaning I made a lot of paper airplanes and didn’t do much else.
Impossible. The subject caught my attention, but the man's wiggling catapults me far away from it. English is not my first language so I use the automatic translation but then I have to turn off the sound and cover wobbly man and then read. I lasted 4 minutes. I'm sorry! Maybe the info was interesting.
You hit the nail on the head about lying vs. telling the truth. Lies come to me quickly in my brain, much more quickly than the truth and I impulsively choose it.

Please can you help my son. He is 31 with a.d.h.d and has just had first born. He struggling to bond. He can't cope with the massive change. He's sad feels lost. Very worried about him.
What does "ever get better" mean? I mean I have it and I am a genius that enjoys his life more than NTs enjoy their 40 hours workweek. I get better every day and NTs get worse every day. Whatever do you mean?
But who ist managing your life? Maybe you are a genius in your field, but who does your taxes, who is managing the fiinances, who is planning for groceries, ...? If you have people around you who support you in every day tasks you are lucky.
@@ExistenceUniversity then I asume you are the genius while your wife is managing the boring every day life. Am I right? I am resentful because I know I could be a genius too if I could live in my ivory tower and delegate all the mundane tasks which are draining my energy.
Yes! This is so important. We can't FIX our brains. There really is no proper fix. ADHD IS a disability, after all. But just like how medication can help improve your attention, reducing other stressors can too. If you have a proper routine that you can follow on autopilot where you dont have to think about it, your brain can relax and save that energy for other things you want to put your attention on before you get decision fatigue. Our brains have a million things going on at once. So the more of those we can automate or outsource, the more extra brain space we have to put towards things we otherwise wouldn't be able to keep up with.
This is so important. My father never learned how to deal with me: he could not think about he had to change for me, only how I had to change for him. It really messed me up.
Im 21 and i beeped at someone on the road after they tried switching lanes because i was in their blindspot. They beeped back at me and i got to the red light and stuck my hand out of the window and gave them the finger“🖕”. In that moment i wasn’t thinking and they continued to follow me for miles until i pulled over. The person threatened me and said they were going to keep following me. I drove to my nearest police station and they drove away. All of this could have been avoided if i hadn’t gave them the finger… now im trying to figure out whats wrong with me so it doesnt happen again. This hasnt been my first occasion
I’m in my late 30s and I have both ADD and MDD. I am on medication for the MDD, but not the ADD. I don’t have the hyper active component. I have the hyper focused component of the disorder. Also I have low empathy. Right now I’m trying to figure out what to cook for dinner and it’s quite exhausting, and then I have to go grocery store to get the ingredients. It’s really debilitating. My wife is suffering for it too, sadly.
I love how you explain how ADHD can interact with mental health struggles. I have ADHD and co-occuring anxiety/depression as my diagnoses. First I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression. After doing therapy for about a year, I got in ADHD coaching and my therapy kicked off like it has never before, and I feel like my treatment is finally answering to my needs. It's a long road, but I got lucky finding my right way.
We were just told by a doctor that co-occuring diagnosis of depression and anxiety couldn't happen with ADHD. I was hoping to get my daughter help and just felt humiliated by him.
