A Day in the Life with ADHD

I made this film as a simulation for people to understand what it can be like to live a day with ADHD. This is to battle the stigma behind it and the best way to do that is with understanding

[@DonnHowes]

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 22. 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. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@KicksConceptsshoes]

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

[@SusanaGomez-mp8sk]

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.

[@Edennnn926]

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'm also certain my Dad (63y/o) has it, but he's completely unaware and keeps blaming my Mum's genes. He's incredibly hard to talk to about these types of things, doesn't have good knowledge about it, and isn't open minded in the slightest way, which makes it even harder to cope. It really surprises me how he can be so unaware of his OWN self and how he hasn't realised, all these years, that he is slightly different to other people. Did he never notice the barriers/struggles at school? At work? At home? I don't know how he hasn't picked up on it. And worst of all, he has ZERO empathy for us when we just CAN'T help but being the way we are. Forgetful, distracted, etc. Honestly, consider yourself extremely lucky!!

ADHD feels like getting called out for everything and I dont even know how to put it on words but it´s a nighmare!, lately ive noticed that my self steem is low and mainly because of that I just feel like everyone has to say a bad thing about me when Im really trying my best.Also neurotypicals minimizing ADHD saying that everyone has it or a least a bit of it. When that is not the reality, I wish I had their privileges and didnt had SUCH bad time management , didnt procastinate even the most simple task, could focus more easily, hold a normal conversation with someone and make eye contact at the same time, or didnt multitask that at the end of the day means that i didnt do any of them, didnt, being so forgetful and finding myself interrumpting people.

Got here after searching how to prepare myself for studying in college. Gotta say this completely blew me away, for me personally if I dont understand a subject i’ll spend a bunch of time on it, overthinking things, and getting pretty frustrated. I cant help but look at the things around me. The main problem I have now is Short-term memory, i’ll forget stuff I heard less than 10 seconds ago

I have never been able to explain how my brain can have multiple noises playing in short loops on repeat to the point where I start crying because I wish it would just *stop* for a minute. This video captures it perfectly.

@Dangmanchillitsjustatroll Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It can be very tiring at times.

This short film is EXACTLY what I am like, I've only just learned over the past few years that I have ADHD (amongst other illnesses) and i'm doing my best to come to terms with it.

I just doodle to cope with focus, and at home/8th period, that’s where the hyperactivity comes into play. My adhd isn’t as bad as….THIS, since my mom actually supports me, but some people gotta understand that adhd is hard. It’s hard to bring animations to my channel because of school and poor time management, and I always hate to sleep during the night, but love it during the day. Sometimes I can’t focus, but I doodle and imagínate smooth hurricane satellite images to help but sometimes than makes me even more unfocused! I usually always compare myself to others and out myself down and I even love to cry! (Which I think is more than adhd but whatever) So thx for making this, even if it’s a bit…depressing.

I have ADHD and this seemed too real, it almost made me feel emotional. God it pisses me off when I forget something so simple and I get yelled at for it. And then, the depression kicks, and you just feel stupid and worthless. People just don’t understand what it’s like having ADHD.
