The backlog king has returned. I’m not adhd but I am kinda forgetful and this should definitely be helpful. Edit: I would certainly be keen on a video about your personal productivity

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

Yes! Any kind of productivity workflow is going to help people, ADHD or not.

Man, this video isn’t about video games, it’s an essay on how you manage your ADHD. I can tell you put your heart into this and it was really helpful for me to listen to. Still struggling with my adult ADHD and my impulsivity with how I play games definitely contributes to feelings of self-hate. I’m going to try and implement your ideas and see if they help. Thank you Chris.

@ChrimChrimbo 9 месяцев назад

This is a really sweet comment to read. I think figuring out adult ADHD and dealing with obsessive tendencies is such a big deal. At the end of the day, we might need to adjust some of the ways we live. I definitely understand the self-loathing. It sucks, especially when others don’t understand. I wish you the best and hope you were able to figure some things out!

@Mawnster73 9 месяцев назад

Thank you Chris! I am trying my best, but it is challenging existing in a society that is in no way built for the success of ADHD people. We gotta take our lives into our own hands.@@ChrimChrimbo

Wonderful and smart video ❤

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

Thanks, Meisuko!

@cerqy5301 Год назад

For me it tends to take a lot of time to find a game I like but when I do I play it a lot like a lot. Great video, nice to see im not alone.

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

Definitely. It does feel good to find a game that just sticks. Thanks for the kind feedback!

@colonelmuffinss Год назад

I haven't been able to take a full deep breath for the past while, but I did finally after this. Great video, good pacing, well layed out points. Thanks man. ❤

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

YES. Simple breathing exercises are GOATed.

@SimpleandSound Месяц назад

I can't stand lists. I've tried, I really have. When I did, I would write down things I needed to do, goals, I ended up feeling like a failure when I couldn't do those things. Seeing where I failed is just another pile onto the anxiety and I will never plan ahead again.

@nsawatchlistbait289 4 месяца назад

I've never managed to attain this objective called "reward yourself". How do you do it? How do you do it right?

@ChrimChrimbo 3 месяца назад

I'll admit I'm not the best at it either, but I think you have to be smart about it. Like, rewarding yourself with takeout sounds great on paper, but if food is always the reward, you are reinforcing a maybe not so healthy habit. Good rewards could be: going on a walk, visiting a city you haven't been to within driving distance, watching a new show, etc.

@SadMegane 5 месяцев назад

yknow its funny cuz like i actually have a cbt game im being too adhd to get to yet i feel the pull of "man just click it and once ur strapped in ur just aboard for the ride just do it" so tbh just the video existing is more of spark for me than anything cuz i already know what i need to do and i just keep not doing it cuz i plan everything then get nowhere fast lol. much appreciate what you do for like minded individuals bro c:

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

Glad to help! Best of luck on your backlog/ADHD journey!

@ktmasterkt Год назад

@@ChrimChrimbo thanks man! i don't even care about my backlog but managing adhd in daily life without medication is just so exhausting and difficult. i got meds but i don't like them. seeing your videos pointing out patterns and giving tips to deal with them without meds helps me though

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

@@ktmasterkt I'll reiterate that this isn't medical advice, but i'm totally on board about the way medication helps. i've had to swap through a few different meds and I think I've found one that works the best for me now. what has helped the most though is learning how to cope and learning behavioral skills. Best of luck to you as you figure it out and glad the videos helped!

@ktmasterkt Год назад

@@ChrimChrimbo i've been trying several different medications but all of them have side effects which are not worth it so i'll have to manage without them, but it's really hard

Why did you stop making content?

@ChrimChrimbo 3 месяца назад

I really enjoyed it but it was really time consuming. I also became a dad so I don’t have as much time now. All of the time I would have spent on videos is now spent on growing Our Discord server.

@ChairmanOfConstellation Год назад

How do you get over your adhd problem as an adult. I forgot things very easily and have difficulty listening to people or rather concentrating what they are saying does that mean i also have adhd I wanted to ask this from a real person, where i am from people hardly know what adhd is or things similar to adhd I know its a big thing in west and people may take this problem seriously

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

I don't think people in the west take it too seriously either, tbh. I have no idea if you have ADHD, but I would go talk to a doctor and get a diagnosis. That's really the only thing that was helpful for me. This isn't medical advice though!

@ChairmanOfConstellation Год назад

What is your business?

@ChrimChrimbo Год назад

I own a video/motion graphics business.

@animepussy8356 3 месяца назад

Holy shit, you're the first person on the internet I've seen describe ADHD accurately, not as "so much noise in my head! oh look a squirrel xD so random"

@ChrimChrimbo Месяц назад

omg. it's as annoying as when people say "i have to keep my room organized, i'm so ocd lol!"
