Being Married To Someone With ADHD 

When does the comedy start?

@@angelavara4097 The moment the video starts.

@@angelavara4097 You obviously don't know anyone with ADHD!

When you leave chat

@@B_Bodziak maybe she wasnt PAYING ATTENTION to the video

I have ADHD and autism and husband has a stutter this Is our life 😂😂

I'm pushing forty...my wife and I watched this and she turned to me and said..."Are you sure you don't have ADHD....cuz you're the wife in this picture, except with a collection of tools instead of rocks and several boxes of unfinished repairs". Decided to get a professional opinion on the matter...and 6 doctors and weeks of evaluation later...yeah, I'm Drew's wife.

My whole family has it...

My ADHD husband wants to finish our basement himself. Could have paid a little more to have the builders do it when they finished the rest of the house, but this is his dream. The rest of the house was finished 6 years ago. The basement has a half dozen support beams ... and that's all.

@@tinkeramma That's me in a nutshell.

Me too!

As a woman exactly the same as you but also married to the MOST NEUROTYPICAL GUY its hard.

Same. I saved a baby squirrel last month too. 😅

😂😂😁

Oh no. I am married to squirrels, stare at pretty rocks, have adhd and I am engaged to a comedian 😂

So what happened to the chicken?

My sister is not emo, but she has a grumpy silent personality and it has always annoyed the crap out of her how I ask her SOOOOO many questions. Everyday. Lol.

@@viridianacortes9642 that's amazing and I respect your chaos

It's basically DeeDee and Dexter, lol. We have this in my family, too.

This cracked me open lol

@@shiraz9986 Awh yeah :D

Legendary 😂

I felt like the target of this skit, I love it! 🤣 Someone actually understands!

restraint is still a choice when you have ADHD btw, acting like that is a choice you choose to make. its the same with emotions, you dont control what emotions you feel but that doesnt mean your emotions control you and how you act. ADHD is the same

@@0AAHENIX No, it's not the same. We're talking about a well-researched, neurological disorder that affects executive functions and *self-control* (see the problem with your assessment?). Which choice to make is something you control, but your choices may be limited; ADHD symptoms like distractability and hyperfocus are absolutely NOT a choice. While there are some tools, coping mechanisms, and resources that can help us (if we can *remember* to use them!), just using "restraint" to control ADHD--if it works at all--is mentally exhausting, highly limited, and impossible to sustain. It's kind of like telling someone who's had no food or sleep for 48 hours that solving algebra problems is just simple math. Maybe it is, but if you expect them to do it at the same speed and level as someone who's eaten and slept well, you're probably not going to get great results.

@@Amy-zr5mn >me- a neurologist for 6 years who also has ADHD and PTSD that i learned to control through proper conditioning and mental strengthening >you- someone who doesnt have actual real life knowledge on the subject like i do we are not the same also no one even once claimed that you choose to feel distracted or hyperfused, wtf are you smoking. i said the EXACT opposite of that kid, learn to read

That's me bro.. just a life gathering of certificates and degrees and experiences 😅😂 that's an ADHD life 😅

❤❤❤❤❤ love it!

We are all the same. 🤣🤣✌️ it's amazing how the spiritual path leads and the artistic chaos at the same time 🤣🤣 ❤❤

@marzenakubitza6119 you ain't kiddin' 😆 It's an amazing superpower!!

😂😂😂😂 I wasn’t diagnosed until late in life. Retired from the Army not knowing that I should’ve had a medical waiver to join. I believe they still require that from folks with ADHD, but not from folks who have gender dysphoria? And the ‘normal’ folks think we’re weird because we have a spiritual connection to squirrels? By the way, International Squirrel Appreciation Day is the 21st of January. Eat some nuts and pass them out.

That and hearing any phrase recognizable from a song prompts a loud and unstoppable continuation of said lyric. Every single time it is said.

I regularily almost throw out my back throwing it down at the rhythm of our printer printing.

The story of my life. With blessings sprinkled on along the way.

@@wisething2do And bits of my broken toe nail :D

😂

So funny 😂 so accurate lol

Exactly

Much love to ya'll, that battle never seams to cease (so far)

same!! and one of our kids has ADHD, the other autism. All four of us are neurodivergent.💀

No cap!

oh boy, my fiancé has Autism and ive got ADHD, very much the same

we have never reached immaculate. we get halfway through three projects... I do house work all day but my house is never clean!

Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

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 Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta

Ikkkk I thought I was the only one who noticed

I thought the very same thing!

I thought maybe but then wasn't sure if it was the act

41 here, just started taking meds. It's incredible "normal" people work that way all the time...🤯😂 Everything just makes so much sense now

Good for you! Progress!🎉

anyone please describe more into detail being on the pills, I dunno I can be taking em, because I learned to live with it and taking advantage of it... my work and workflow and creativity is based on total chaos, but I'm content creator and designer and I need to be creative and I need the hyperfocus, helps me finish difficult projects I'd be lazy to even start or work on. I'd say pills will take all that from me + psychical medication often leads into gaining weight. Pot lil helps me to focus and to be productive, but makes me silent eh.. beer helps me focus only on manual work, but turns me at least into the 'normal' person socially.

@@a420dro I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor/Therapist as well as a Musician, Songwriter, and arts-n'-crafts maverick. TBH taking my prescribed Dopamine & Norepinephrine Anti-depressant with a prescribed stimulant medication (appropriately), has helped me finish and time the several projects and pieces that I start. Typically, I'll have like 10 or more things I'm working on at the same time, and it's difficult to finish them due to the constant loss of focus, motivation and anxieties via RSD. I'm the same way normally with THC and Alcohol. Also, when I got used to my medication, I ended up naturally not wanting to use rec. substances as much. I think it is because I was getting the mental steadiness and release, I was hoping for physically and mentally through my medication. Word of caution, every person's body chemistry is different...it takes some trial and error as well as patience to find what works best for you. A recommendation (look into) "Genesight Testing: genesight.com/ . God Speed Ahead!

​​​@@a420dro It produces the ability to buffer / queue tasks in your head. Furthermore it gives you the ability to stop and think before acting - something most people have the ability to do but ADHD kinda just... doesn't. Also it makes starting a task you don't want to do way easier, which means it's basically a giant 'motivation' booster. ADHD is sometimes jokingly compared to erectile dysfunction of the brain - doesn't matter how badly you want to do something, it's not a willpower thing. Meds make your willpower actually hold sway over doing things like it should. Everyone reacts differently to different medications and treatments, so find what works for you. But as someone in their mid-30s who's been on meds since they were in preschool I literally cannot function like an adult off of them. They're not addictive - in fact forgetting to take them or refill your prescription is the main hurdle with them, but they can create a dependency because you don't have to use coping mechanisms every day to do basic tasks. So, that said, if you're used to using those coping mechanisms, then this shouldn't be an issue. However, it will feel like putting on glasses and seeing the world clearly, and you'll likely not want to go without because of it. I mean, a person with glasses can absolutely function without them. But ask people with glasses if they'd intentionally choose not to wear them and go back to blurry vision as a default and I promise none of them will say yes seriously.

I totally felt called out, but had to pause it to make a sandwich.

You Have ADD, no such thing as ADHD anymore. They changed it

@@SooSmokieno, it’s the other way around. “ADHD - Inattentive type” is now what they call what used to be labeled as ADD. The disorder is still a thing, they just changed it’s label.

@@staciecarrel4492 Ahh, yep I had it backwards. weird since it should be ADD as not all with ADHD are hyper. But yeah still same illness, just has changed the diagnoses and terms a little

Omg... same!!!!!

I hate to break it to you but u can't not have it your whole life😭 our brain structure is different

​@@lumix1186you either have it your whole life or you dont have it all, it a fundamental difference in how your brain works.

How can you both miss her point? You can absolutely have ADHD and NOT be diagnosed until adulthood. Just because you aren't being treated for 30-50 years doesn't mean you have a neurotypical brain.

I love these videos. This is so accurate. I've had pocketfuls of rocks more times then I can count. I also have a pet racoon lol

Yeah, even you remind yourself.... ok I won't forget.... it only takes 2 seconds

Me everyday 😂

Lack of object permanence.

Right??? Also, I got so excited when his wife said, "It worked!" about her squirrel ladder, I, a 45 yr old woman, squealed "YES!" and did a victory fist pump for what I believe is definitely the first time in my life, although I admit I am often wrong about that kind of thing when I'm So Totally Present In The Moment that all other moments have apparently ceased to exist🤔

Saaaaaaame

I am the same way. I praise my husband every day for putting up with me.

Same here

It came in waves...and now the waves cause hot flashes!!!

May I ask how you found a doctor willing to evaluate you for ADHD? My mom is 67 and no one wants to do it, as if old age makes the symptoms go away. She’s specifically does not want to get medicated, she just wants to KNOW.

I was late bloomer diagnosis as well Life changing isn't it!

Yes

Lol yes!,undiagnosed here, but this is exactly how I clean. It's exhausting 😂

@@paloma3248 It's tough to diagnose, because there's no test to definitively prove you do or don't have it. They ask you questions, and if give the same answers and display characteristics that match other people who have been characterized with the disorder, then they will declare that you have the disorder as well. So since there's no medical test, like it's not going to show on an XRAY or brain scan, etc, it's a matter of having very specialized knowledge to be able to correctly identify if the patient has the disorder, so it doesn't surprise me that a lot of doctors would shy away from diagnosing it.

🎉😭🐿️😮

😂😆🤪

Jesus Christ that was a funny set! I have ADHD, love squirrels, and my apt. definitely often looks like etsy shit everywhere - that was some accurate comedy!

Our favorite hobby is collecting hobbies!

Yep, I feel attacked 😂

He shouldctry comedy himself. lol. this tore me up

You aren’t wrong…

Just sent this to my sister, the only one of two family witnesses left of the ADHD. Sister has memories of critter salvation home building attempt memories. Started with my top drawer nest for bugs. This is so spot on.

ADHD doesn't exist though.... even more scary!!!

@@leavemyrightsalone Well we need to call dis-regulation of the RAS leading to dual-activation of the DMN and TPN something, so ADHD or some other name for the rose that is to your liking. BTW I am ADHD and have the full set of symptoms with caffeine paradoxical reaction and was diagnosed when it was still HADD in the DSM, so not one of the trendy over-diagnosed.

Yea, none of this is exaaggerated.

Yea i think yall are alright ❤ (Well mostly theres assholes on every spectrum)

Yes, my fiance does. And you def have to readjust how to live in accordance. But I love him deeply no matter what, just gotta readjust

Agree. And I have no idea how I would live without my neurotypical husband. The house is clean. There’s groceries AND toilet paper before we run out. He has an INTERNAL sense of time. It’s all some dark magic, I’m sure of it!

Yeah I feel bad for anyone I live with. Sometimes I feel like an alien trying to explain why I do what I do.

Non ADHD people-oriented exist with us. They just tell themselves that they don't have the energy to deal with us so they just leave us to our Tornado thoughts.

You and your parents sound awesome! 🎉❤

I call that a "learning circuit" keep rotating and if you don't stop you eventually come back to square one, improve on each project segment and keep going until all the projects are done. Although that usually takes the whole weekend.

:)

A Polymath! Commonly unable to finish projects because the new ones just keep coming... Not necessarily ADHD!

😊

She sounds like a Virgo, lol.

What is the system? I feel like it is lists...

+1 to asking what the system is

​@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight I'm a virgo with ADHD and I'm still trying to figure out how that even works.

@@mscharleeann I was talking about the roommate she had. You're a Virgo with ADHD? Lol, that's gotta be extra hard! Not being able to measure time, but needing to be super punctual, needing everything (and everyone) to be perfect and nitpick and try to control every little detail, needing to keep your home and everything spotless, and never being able to do all this perfectly (or waste too much time in hyper focus doing it), and then comes that typical self judgment the Virgo naturally has that will be enhanced with ADHD. Damn, I feel ya!

This is my first time in a long time seeing anything regarding him and I noticed that. I was like "wow, he's changed!" It's neat.

He actually started years before the incident that caused his stutter. I am glad and grateful it didn't kill his career! 😅 If anything, it seems to have enhanced it lol . 😊 His spirit is truly incredible.

He has a speech therapist We’re all human guys

He's not especially happy when people bring that up. Just enjoy the jokes.

​@@WouldntULikeToKnow.No!!

my mom, my dad, me and my best friend have ADHD XD

@@GBfanatic15I have adhd badly my mom while she was out asked me to take out the garbage and I got to the door before I noticed “hmmmm the entrance looks dirty I better sweep” witch led me on a four hour adventure that led me to me sweeping the whole house then wiping all the counters and mowing the lawn before I realized I never took the bag out

❤

​@@hanspotterman4875sounds good though! Can you come here and help train my children to keep Cleaning 😅

I have it and 3 of my long term exes did… I have never resonated so hard with a joke as the laundry thing.

Yes🤣

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to share this with my boyfriend, but it may empower him to call me out on my daily behavior even more. He claims my whole day is thrown off course if I hear a bird tweet. It was never on course anyway.

My adhd makes me the same way. She’s most likely ring of fire type adhd.

I'm so much like that too

I think I've found my tribe!

I found them!! I found my people!

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" (2022)

😂

I had 1000 flashbacks of different times my ex-husband walked into find me in similar states of 'cleaning' 😂

😂😂

As he got to that part I was carrying my phone and an armload of clean laundry. I noticed an open container of juice on the coffee table and had to pick it up and close it so it didn't get spilled accidentally. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to go to the store for paper towels 😂

@lajoyous1568 it's nice to have have representation 🤣😂🙃

“Entering the new room.” 100% accurate.

Me too even I also adhd

​@@harvanshpalsinghbali I need someone with your sense of humor to keep me laughing at myself. Usually people think 'What's wrong with you?". Thanks for stories that are close to my crazy thought processes. I am not alone.

Me too. I've watched this like seven times and laughed every single time the first time I might have have cried I think it's completely normal. And there's a reason for everything I do and how I will arrive there 3 hours late but I will arrive and most likely with an interesting anecdote that happened along the way.

me too she sounds really sweet ❤

We all needa ADHD gc 😭😭😭😭

What did he choose as his career? 🥺 ADHDer here would be very thankful if you could share. ❤ 🙏

How'd he make it his super power?

You make your academics the subject of your hyperfocus, enabling you to study for days on end. The trade-off of this seems to be the fact that my grades have become my entire personality 🤣

@@ninimry3025 exactly what my childhood best friend did. He had a thing for math, he took BS Math

Yeah Meth is big with ADHD 😅

Same here!! My husband has been telling me for years he thinks I have this. Hearing this makes me think I do, but ....

I laughed so hard I cried lol I’m ADHD too and he’s exactly right!

I have mascara tears from this set LOL! I have ADHD and I related so hard to his wife! I legit did collect rocks as kid and I love collecting crystals (though I don't believe they have special powers, I just think they're very pretty). And I do talk to animals in my yard, squirrels included.. 🤣

lmfao i laughed SO HARD it was SO RELATEABLE on how he just called us out XD

So true. Saw myself the entire time.

And that whole story is TRUE 😮

​@@TheDrewLynchI have ADHD. I wholeheartedly believe you.

Bro I will dance to ANY rhythm

ADHDer here. I danced the exact same way he depicted. It was a pretty sick beat, babe.

@@Midgetmunky13 it was SUCH a sick beat, I started dancing too then fell about laughing when he said his wife did 😂

I relate... i am the mom (non-adhd).. my son is adult son is adhd and growing up he would hyperfix on accents or how i said a certain word and he'd mimic it over and over.. took me a while to realize that he wasn't making fun of how i said things... Now that he is 30, he does accents really well and can quote some hilarious movie lines.

Thank you for this- our 17 year old hyperfixates on accents and words and perseverates until we are all losing our minds. I had no idea this was part of ADHD.

@@rachelsanders4913 ❤❤It very much is. I'm from the U.S. and my husband is from the UK, and I have had to really work hard to not imitate his accent all the time because it makes him feel like he's being made fun of, which is not the case at all. I also have moments where just a word hits, and my brain latches on to how odd the word sounds, regardless of whether I or someone else says it. I once used the word "toward" in the middle of a conversation and my brain noticed it was a weird sounding word, so I started saying it in various ways rather than completing the sentence. I knew what was going on in my head, but to others I looked like I had broken and was just standing there going "tword, tord, toowaard, twaaard, twooord."

Oh my goodness I'm sorry for laughing so hard at this I may go to hell but this scenario vividly played in my head

My boyfriend also has ADHD so we just start singing together 🤣

It’s surprising how many conversations need to start with “did I tell you X?” between beloved and I. We are both guilty of this, and the reverse of having the conversation and not remembering anything from it.

It just hit me why folks think I'm weird?

Just learn to play Candyland and you'll unlock all the mysteries to the ADHD-er's mind. 🍬🗺

😂😂😂

@@vanb8797 I hate that that makes sense. XD

Must've talked to her a lot about it.

I bet he has it too.

U noticied improvement with music to, i was finally able 2 read a book when i put mysic in the background. B4 that i would get distracted n reread the same paragraph over n over

@@mattw6399 music and background noise are a necessity. Just to be able to quiet my mind enough to sleep, I have to have rain and thunder sounds going. RU-vid has some great ambiance videos for sleep and study focus. It definitely helps.

Omgggg is this why I can’t get house chores done without some kind of sound static;such as music or podcast?!?

​@mattw6399 omg I become so angry and grit my teeth when I do this but I fear I'm worse as ill do it with 1 or 2 sentences over and over.

I'm that way with videos/audio books. I need some sort of mentally stimulating thing going on or I can't get anything done. But then it's such a minefield to get through to said video/audiobook without getting distracted by all of the other things. (case and point, me right now 🤣)

He's done really well with it, hasn't he? I'm glad he mentioned it. The President of the U.S. has also dealt with a stutter his whole life. It's important kids and adults who deal with these things see that they don't HAVE to be limited in life by their limitations. 😊

Same! 🎉

Same

Yah me to 😂

As a HUMAN we can all relate. You are not special because you have trouble focusing.. we all do. Most of us just dont need a doctor to tell us we are "sick" in some way. Bullshit.

1000%, When he was talking about the collection of projects I looked around my room and thought about the 50 odd and end collection I have all in various degrees of completion and laughed, crazy thing is I didn't realize I had ADHD till last year, it makes soooo much sense.

I worry that experiences like yours are going to cause the public to think "boys don't like girls who are neurodivergent"

If you could go back in time, how would you help your younger self? How could your teachers helped you?

I imagine what you're saying--without actually saying it--is that you dumped that insensitive person and found a situation that was so much better.

Aww, well good on you! I'm glad you're living your best ADHD life!

You're not ADHD, you're a woman. Get a grip.

Yes

Ha! Same! And we have a kid with it and a dog, she's a border collie! It's a mess around here. Figuratively and literally!

Why would I think that you would cancel each other out? That's what absolutely No one would think.

Omg, THE STRUGGLE IS REAALLL! How do y'all manage it? 😅 Our silver lining is we're both combined types-- I'm hyper dominant, whereas he's my inattentive space-case-- and the yin and yang dynamic at least makes it ftmp manageable. lol Wish they had more books on couples who BOTH have it!

If both people have it, it would be hard to finish the book. But the first 29 chapters would be worth the price of admission! 📚

That’s my brand of ADHD. now I am in my mid-thirties and a feral shut in 😂

This was me. Now I’m like this dude’s wife. No more masking.

Yep! Definitely manifests differently between boys and girls. I'm diagnosed with it. I'm convinced a handful of my 6 kids have it and definitely different from boys to girls.

That was me! The inattentive, quiet, over achiever who would do weird stuff at home 😅

@@TheCannyMagpie Yep! 😂😅

As someone with both ADHD and autism (and dyspraxia) neurodivergent friendships are the best thing

As a teacher with Adhd, i can tell you that you and your friend were both adored and annoying at the same time. Those weird friend couples are incredibly funny to see but they tend to disrupt the class a bit. Was the weird ADHD kid when i was young. ❤

I'm ADHD and my bff all thru school was a goth kid on the Autism spectrum. Both of us were diagnosed as adults, and I can confirm this is exactly how we interacted the first couple times. I was 100% cracked out asking all kinds of questions because she had a Good Charlotte Tshirt and I thought it looked cool. We made a weird pair, but a good weird pair. Idk what it is but ADHD and the Autism spectrum go together like PB&J.

Omg, I could have been your friend, and your friends friend too.

​@@clueless_cutieI am guessing it's the novelty. Neurotypical is just too normal. And ADHD finds normal boring. The weird kid, well, that's different, something new, let's figure it out!

The detective/murderer combo…

I said the same, like oh no its over, once you move in any direction away from the focus at the time lol.

@@TheDrewLynch on fucking point lmao. Late diagnosis here 🙋‍♂️

O my god yes. I realized that hiring cleaners is cheaper than marriage counseling.

True story

I’m going to start a support group for us

As an ADHD wife I have never felt so heard and understood 😂

A little too close to home. 😅

I am the ADHD wife and as soon as you said projects unfinished I immediately sent it to my husband because I knew I would forget if I didn't do it right then. I've already started my living room cleaning, but was watching videos. Time to clean the kitchen. 😂😂😂 And I have rocks too, and art projects everywhere. **For all the men that love us- we are sorry, and thank you. But at least you will never get bored!❤**

HOW do you keep stuff organized, PLEASE tell me lol 🤣

@@gabrieleomaggio1461 first acknowledge your system will have to be changed and updated once in a while, acknowledge & accept you will mess up, allow yourself to forgive your mistakes. Then start. Professionally: I write everything down in one note, have a visual tracking I created (very manual) for my dashboards that need to be created with the checklist inside of it. Then if I have questions I just do it because honestly I need to understand or else my stakeholders won’t get the right products. For personal: I have the “bucket” system. I bought a big enough bucket for all my nail supplies (can place smaller boxes in it) that can be put away. My bathroom has buckets for daily need vs emergency need. Clothes (the whole process) takes a week for me as I try to organize my clothes once a quarter. If it’s something “important” keep it in sight to keep it in mind. I have a trip soon so my calendar is open to it and my bag I’m using for packing is under my table to remind me. These are examples that work for me. Others may have different ways. Also factor in what “mess” you allow yourself to be in and what will cause you to melt down. That’s a big one so I ask my husband for help when I am getting to that point. It’s all about understanding and trying to find what works for you. :)

​@@sw33t3t3nitythat is pure genius. I'm not the one who asked the question. But I'm incredibly grateful you answered it.

I’m also an project manager with ADHD, I can relate to your comment

OMG there are MORE PMs with ADHD?!

As a mom with adhd who has a son with adhd.. thank you :) I hope my husband will come around to your point of view, he has accepted it and deals with it as best as he can, but fails to recognise the positive things it does for us (not refusing, just not..grasping).

Wish you could talk to my wife.. she sometimes don't laugh, she just gets mad at me. Depends on how someone laughs "about me" I don't do good with people laughing at me or making fun of me. But it can bother me, and upset me, that my wife is mad at me and it's like.. I can't help it. We've had some big arguments over the years.. it's a wonder to me sometimes why we are together or why she's put up with me this long.. then I think to myself.. it's probably because no other man would put up with her or do as much as I already do for her.

Same if unmedicated ADHD husband!

All I got from this, (being an INTP ADHD man nerd with an ENTP power wife), was that his wife must be hot as hell!

you sound like my fiancé who got tired of my shit and now just laughs it off

Okay, so what advice should i give my husband? 😂

We see everything but remember little.

Yes! I am not sure if my memory is worse, or I just notice and worry about it more now that I am older.

Correction: our attention span does not exist unless it's for something like learning about random possum fun facts at three AM or surfing through the net for new hyperfocus supplies

@@magdam1508 i agree. I know a-lot of shit that know one else cares to know. But it makes me happy.

Me listening to that as I change & wash my bedsheets at 6AM (I did not sleep):

"she was gone for 4 days and 3 nights - I don't know my wife" 😂😂

SAME 😂😂😂 I have a load of scrubs from work that I’ve been trying to hang up for 3 days now 💀

I am constantly reminded my brain does not work in a manner that makes sense. It is frustrating for me, even when I know to make allowances for myself. It was, however, such a relief to get diagnosed.

Oh man, then having to explain the context of everything, lol

@@lbyerly I was saying something to my aunt about needing to sleep because I had to go to Mississauga (city where my college is) to watch Psycho and she looked at me like I'd lost my mind. I'm taking a class on horror movies for context, I wouldn't watch it under my own choosing

While also baking a loaf of bread and setting up grocery pickup. 😅😂😂

Thanks for saying it, bc my husband says I shouldn’t care. It’s not easy!

Can attest.

Honestly man her frustration is the type of thing that will destroy a marriage over time. There are partners who love you enough to not get frustrated daily, maybe occasionally, but not that often. Those are the ones to find.

🤣🤣

Having a sense of humor about it all is so vital.

I actually was in tears. Started from the laughter. Switched to relating to the struggle and how it negatively impacts those around us. Did that flip flop a couple of times.

I was looking through the comments and spoiled myself for what was to come but I still went through the whole thing... spoiling myself did absolutely nothing as I had that exact reaction, except my laugh was just air, no sound, and I was crying.

I would 100% do that 😂

The ADHD in me knew she was going to dance 😂

🤣🤣 I screamed, dying over here 🤣🤣

Adderall for me, made all these difficulties almost disappear for me. I never wanted to take pills or medicate myself but even a small daily dosage made me feel normal and I could function.

Yeah, and it’s hard to be diagnosed with if you aren’t white or a male.

Bless you and thank you! ❤ thank God we also usually have a great sense of humor so we can process things somehow 😂

Aw, thank you so much, that's so sweet! I just want to add that there are some things about ADHD that are more fun than this and things which can even serve as advantages and there are also things that are worse than the stuff he mentioned here lol. There's a lot more to it. But that's such a sweet comment, thank you.

​@@DIGITAL7MediaI take Ritalin and while it definitely helps I don't feel like I can function like a neurotypical. I do function better though!

The cure is the carnivore diet. Try it and you'll be normal.
