I'll be sharing all my gaming content with a side of neurodiversive and mental health content as I share my journey. I've been a gaming enthusiast since a child growing up in the 90's and so happy that the world is catching up to the positive benefits of gaming in our lives. Having been diagnosed with ADHD at 40 I'm now on the daunting task of figuring out what this means for me and how to better my life knowing the challenge I have to deal with on a daily basis.
Appreciate any subscriptions, likes and comments on my videos and appreciate all the great people I've met already on my journey and those that I haven't met yet.
Hello you may call me by my user name, I'm trying this new thing where I spread a little positivity to other human beings to lift their spirits by going to their comment section of their RU-vid or social media posts and without further ado I leave you this; Do what lifts your spirits and grasp those moments of happiness don't let them go whether it's writing poems, going on adventures or making RU-vid videos just remember those moments of joy that feeling like a ray of sunshine flows through your body and hold on to it because that's your light that helps you shine it's what makes you who you are and who you are is unique and everything this world that's unique and new is worth knowing so go forth be known for you and let your light spread to others. Thank you for reading and please pass on the light to those who may shine dimmer.
Wow love the before and after shots of your room. Done an amazing job organising your space, can I hire you? Honestly my room is covered with folders, still finding cooking books under the bed from ages ago. When I saw all your the bags and belongings it looked a real challenge, however you worked your magic and it looks great. Great to see you upbeat and looking forward to the next challenge. :)
Thanks Heather Williams it was a daunting challenge I had put for the first two days but yes glad I pushed forward and got on with it. Now I'm looking forward to sorting out a computer and work station to do my stuff. Thanks for the kind comments.
*Back at the beginning* This is my first video that I created exactly a month ago, done a few more and finally got myself a good camera and better editing software. Hopefully I'll get my next video done this week and having it uploaded by the end of the week. Thanks for everyone that has checked my channel out so far and subscribe and like if you find these helpful or interesting and share them around if you think anyone else would get anything from them. #depression #anxiety #vlog #afrodave #behindtheafro
I can relate to feeling of letting others dow and how authority figure are difficult to speak with. I get that everytime I speak to the doctors on the phone, you always come away feeling a lot went unsaid. Your doing great, it's hard to see things clearly when anxiety takes over. I was like that yesterday when I met with a business client, hardly slept and felt i would mess up yet again. When did get there things did come good in the end. I hope your okay now.
Thanks Heather Williams much appreciated. Got a lot on tomorrow so going to feel that anxiety but hopefully I'll get thought it. Having to go Doctors tomorrow for an appointment because I missed last weeks. Need to tell him that I'm moving away so will have to get another doctor, also my prescription won't be ready until Tuesday so need to see if the Doctor can give it me early if not then I'm not sure what I'll do except have to come back over to get it. Then got to get all my stuff into my mum and friends car to take it all to her house. I am looking forward in a lot of ways to living with my mum and being close to my sisters and their kids but it's another big change in a short period of time. Hate that feeling and take a while for me to settle down again. Hopefully I'll get time to make another video next week and write another blog as I miss doing them.
I hope everything goes well for you at the Doctors. I'm sure the doctor will be pretty understanding about the prescription. It's tough moving to a different place, you do feel very unsettled and routine is all over the place, not to mention emotions too. Take things one step at a time, embrace change in the way that works well for you. When I moved to Lincolnshire I felt a mixture of emotions, anxious, nervous and a little out of my comfort zone. However it has taken me a long time to embrace change and not to fear the unknown. You are more down to earth and strong then you give yourself credit for. It will push your anxiety levels up, but speaking and sharing your thoughts is a great way to fight against them. Take care and good luck with the move :)
Happy New Year and I hope 2014 is going well for you so far. Sorry for the lateness for writing a comment. Just realised google sent me a notification. Loving the snapshot of Yorkshire, such a beautiful place to live with all the hills and greenery. I think your doing great by setting goals and carrying on with the vlogs.
Just wanted to share my first video of the new year with all my followers if anyone missed it. Got two now up and will be making another next week after I've settled after the move. Please subscribe and like if you find my videos interesting and share it around your circle for anyone that might find a vlog from someone suffering from anxiety and depression helpful. #depression #anxiety #anxietydisorder #vlog
Very impressed I think you done amazingly well with the first video. It's always difficult to take that first step in to the unknown, especially unsure of the reaction of others. Well done you! It was really interesting you referred to a time when you found yourself speaking very fast in a social situation. When I'm overly tired, anxious and hardly slept I get like that too. Have you looked into mindfulness? It's not always for everyone, but can control the intense thoughts that creep in throughout the night. I used soft music, pop mainly and sit back in my chair and allow my mind to wonder. Each time a anxious thought pushes in, I focus on the music. After awhile it does start to help. Nights can be awful for me to, I got to bed gone 11pm, and spend the best part of the night feeling uneasy. I wake up early and it feels like I haven't even been tl sleep. It's starting to improve, it's. About finding the triggers and what works well for you. :)
Hi There The most important thing is to be open and honest with close friends about anxiety I find. I used to be really bad at talking to someone unknown to me over the phone/face to face. Overtime it grew worse as I started to avoid certain striations like traveling on buses. Even now I get moody and storm off, take things to heart when I'm having a relapse. I find by slowly taking a step by step approach, acknowledging the tightest of chest and panic helps. Also keeping a blog and setting goals really do help to keep focus. Will check you out on twitter and follow your progress, nice to hear your own experiences and hearing about the similar symptoms we experience. Feel free to keep in touch. :)

I just watched this on Facebook too lol, I logged in there first.....you are coming at me from all directions lmao......but on a serious note I can relate to all that too, only difference between me and you is my social anxiety makes it almost impossible for me to socialise and also I would love have a few drinks but am afraid because of the Meds.....would be afraid I'd end up dancing naked on tables or something lol.....wouldn't be pretty lol, but well done with the vlog....not a bother on you now talking away xoxoxo
Lol I doubt many would mind.....wouldn't be a pretty sight though and I would find myself the star of RU-vid or something....not exactly how I would like my 15 minutes of fame.....I'd rather win the lottery ;)
Tom Martin don't apologies about the intrusion it more than welcome. fiona rae gill Tom is right I do the most stupid things when I'm drunk because its me without the anxiety, I always love to hear the stories and see the videos if taken of me. I say as long as you aren't hurting anyone it's fine and should be seen as wrong.
Bit of a silly video tonight, I didn't get chance to do the video I wanted after an incident that caused me to have a pretty bad anxiety attack so instead I'm put up a video of me from Saturday nights Christmas party I went. This video is me pretty drunk entertaining a few friends with my own version of some song I didn't know. Love to share moments like this because I don't mind embarrassing myself for others. Hope you enjoy or at least get a good laugh.
