Sometimes while making videos, I just feel off. Today was one of those days. I wanted to share a little insight to how I live with ADHD; so for 2 straight hours, I recorded a waterfall of thoughts. I've compiled many of the parts I thought were important together into a mini podcast of sorts.
Thank you for being you.

I am Autistic and have ADHD, so seeing a video like this really makes me think that I could become a content creator which is something I have always wanted to do, so thank you for making this!

You can absolutely do it! I will admit that having adhd and being a creator is not easy, as I mentioned in video but- it is 1000% possible. I wish you luck!

Hi Laynce, my name is Andres. I assume you read thousands of comments like this, if you read them at all, but I have to express it to you anyway. Thank you. It may sound repetitive, but you inspired me when I needed it most. A few months ago I went through a bad patch in my life, I felt lost, university and routine were destroying me mentally. Then I saw your video on how to be a filmmaker. It really helped me open my eyes. I'm not just my studies or my family, there is something else inside my heart, something that I needed to get out for a long time. So I started writing. At first I did it in the Minecraft books, because since I was little I really liked this game and I thought it would be the easiest way. In the end I ended up filling entire bookshelves with my stories, so I decided to write in real life too. Today I am working on my first book with the intention of publishing it. I can only thank you. And sorry for the bad English, I'm from Spain.

That is incredible! I’m super proud of you for pushing through! Writing with a book and quill is such an awesome way to collect stories. I really love that. And now you’re planning on publishing a book- bravo! You have done something amazing, and look at how far you’ve come! By the way, comments never get repetitive! I read every single one. I value you all individually, not just as a group. There are a lot, and I mean a LOT of people in the world with experiences and stories and lessons to be learned. If I could sit and listen to all of them, I would. And I will do my best to, I can promise you that. Good luck with your book! That’s a huge milestone! Congratulations on making it to where you are! ❤️

Hey, thanks for making this video. I also have ADHD and I also have problems in life that are honestly restricted in some ways. I have wanted to be a content creator as well and ive uploaded my first vid! I put a lot of work into it too. . . But right after it I immediately wanted to make another, but I had so many problems trying to figure out what to do, or when i should post, and eventually I got burnt out. Right now I'm in one of those "difficult situations" and I've thought many times that i might not make it out. But thanks, this video has helped me think that I'm not someone who just can't do things. Thanks, I'm going to get up now and try to be better! ❤ Have a great day Laynce.

Pace yourself! You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. That’s a lot of time to figure out what works for you! Your first video is the single biggest milestone of any channel because it marks the beginning. If you never made that video, you would have never left the starting line. But you did! And now you have something to show for it! One thing I have to constantly remind myself is that we are not perfect. And so neither do our videos have to be. If you’re stressing over a video, instead of thinking how you could do something better, maybe think about how you could do it differently? Revisit the problem from a different angle once you’ve given yourself time to recharge.

God this video made me cry. I have autism and I’m in that same rut of being demotivated, depressed, and just so burnt out. Gotta love art school am I right. To hear that one of my favorite creators is going through the same thing and is saying “I’m proud of you” just means a lot. It’s been rough and probably will stay that way for awhile. But we got this. Keep being human Laynce. You’re an inspiration

I went through an incredibly rough patch in high school. I never even knew something was wrong. I felt like I was living purely because it was an option. I never looked forward to anything because I never knew what there was to look forward to. Life is, and will always be a struggle. But there is so much power in pushing forward. Nowadays I am so so happy, despite the mood swings and anxiety and all of that stuff, I am grateful to be alive. The warm sun on a late summer afternoon, the smell of food when you realize you haven’t ate anything all day, the little joys that come from rain or the smile of another person. There are an infinite number of reasons to keep going. Yes, life is hard. But it can also be the most rewarding thing. I started with little things when I was trying to improve myself. I stopped wearing sweats, and even though no one saw me, I made myself look presentable. I made my bed every single morning, made sure I brushed my teeth, took showers regularly, made sure I was exercising a little bit each day, and stretching every hour at least once. Those little things add up. My life isn’t perfect, but I have discovered a purpose, and fought my way through struggle. And I know you can do it too. Show the world what you’re made of.

Dude, I just wanted to thank you, so much. I have pretty bad ADHD (from what I can tell) and have been struggling with trying to get a channel up and running for myself for 2-3 years. But I feel like my content in comparison to the people around me is bad, that I can't make good stuff, or that I'm just bad in general. I'm trying my best to move past that, and post things anyway. But it's a struggle. Thank you for writing this, and saying this, because I've never felt so seen, or like someone on the planet actually knows what this feels like. And now I do. And I couldn't appreciate it more. I needed this. And I don't know what I'll do going forward to continue. But I just wanted to thank you for this because it made a huge impact for me.

I didn’t want to just complain about it, because it’s not all negative. Sometimes it’s nice to have it, and other times it’s just interesting! Every neurodivergent experiences it in a different way, but I hope that this video reaches people who experience it in a similar way to me. I was going back and forth about even making this video because it is something that I severely struggle with- but seeing all these people relate to it, makes me so happy to know I’m not alone, and that they know they’re not alone

As someone with ADHD, when I first started creating, I was all over the place. One day I would make a letsplay minecraft video, followed by random Half life gameplay, followed again by a roleplay I failed to do complete. Though a few weeks ago, for the first time ever, I finally managed to get myself to sit down and take it seriously. Sure I am still all over the place, and sure I have no idea what I want to do next half the time. But even so, casually playing, and story telling through this game of blocks is what makes the creative side of my tick. And I plan to keep trying to create. I may change my name, change my channel to start over, change my video style, ect.. But that won't ever stop me from trying. As our old friend Vareide said in the first Minecraft Trailer: "The only limit, is your imagination".

No matter what your name is. A week, 2 years, 20 years from now, you’ll have made things. KZbin in particular tends to punish for inconsistency, whether that be in upload time or topic. But even if you made 100 videos with no views- if you’re proud of them, and it’s something you made, that’s so incredibly impressive. It takes some divine force to randomly get the urge to change how you live and stick with it. Way to frickin go. That’s outstanding. Remember to pace yourself, you’ve got all the time in the world. Take breaks, stay hydrated, get some sunlight! I wish you luck! You’re determined to try and I admire that so much.

It’s interesting how despite being less “thematic” or well-made, this carries a unique quality compared to your other videos because of how you were just you. Like you said, we’re all people!

This is an incredible video. Truly. I dont know if you know this, but I was diagnosed with ADHD sometime in middle school(?). I was put on vyvanse, but every time i went in, it seemed like it wasnt working. My dose was raised and raised, and i never questioned it. I didnt understand ADHD, I didnt understand medicating at all, and to be honest, I dont understand either all that much more now. Ive struggled with ADHD, withdrawals, and side effects for years now and I just assumed it was what normal people felt. Now that I'm trying to get off vyvanse its a new struggle again, but every time Im off it for just a couple days I finally feel like I want to do things. Im super anxious and I struggle to start, but when Im off of vyvanse i feel like i *want* to start. I dont know where i was going with this, Ive long lost my train of thought, but I wanted to say this video resonated with me in a way I don't think any other piece of content has. Beautiful video, Lance. I look forward to seeing your bright future.

I’m glad to hear you’re taking steps in the right direction! I have been very careful with medications for that reason. I am not very knowledgeable in the subject, all I can really speak from is my experiences. I was diagnosed very early in my life, and was medicated twice prior to now, neither time did I stay on it (just because I forgot to). I am currently taking methylphenidate, and I’m uncertain how much it has changed my life. Whether it’s the placebo effect or not, it did seem to change how I feel overall. I’m a much happier person than I used to be. I’m very proud of you for keeping on! It can often be difficult, but there are so many things worth fighting for in life. There are an insane number of factors that affect adhd brains, sleep, food, exercise, social life- it’s just wild, but it’s absolutely worth exploring if it leads to you being a happier person!

As someone with comorbid Autism and ADHD, I can really relate to the struggles explained in this video. Especially the perfectionism. I have such a creative mind, but struggle to finish them. But seeing that there are so many out there like me who are successful is very comforting to me. I’m glad you’re so supportive of everyone and I hope you keep that mindset going forward; because that shows how much you care and it’s what I try to do myself. Keep it up.

It took me much too long to even learn about the disorder that affects me, and I still am learning. There are so many people around me who live adhd, autism, or other conditions that affect their everyday lives. I love them all. To preserve through the challenges they’re put through, is nothing short of amazing. And I am proud of every one of them. The more I learn, the more I understand myself and others. You absolutely can be successful. It affects every person differently, but we are just as creative, and just as passionate about life than any other person. I can’t promise it won’t be a challenge, but I can say there is a path towards the goals you want to achieve. Keep at it, pace yourself. You got this.

It can have its benefits, but is much better described as a situational power up. Some things we do better at but even then, it’s a gamble if we struggle or strive at any one thing. I would never describe it in a purely positive way because it does negatively impact us so much. But while that is true, yes, there are certain situations where it does feel like we have an advantage- though few. It also varies from person to person! Not every adhd brain has identical symptoms. It’s an incredibly complex disorder on top of an already incredibly complex human mind. We don’t know everything there is to know about it yet. But I dearly hope research continues, considering how many people it affects, and how much it impacts their lives

It’s such a surreal feeling now having been on both sides of KZbin, being the creator and consumer. It really does feel so vastly different. It’s not something I even expected either, people forget that just because they haven’t struck gold, it doesn’t mean they won’t. Keep working at your interests, exploring and experimenting, and you’ll find success- no matter what that word means to you.

Hey Laynce! I have ADHD as well and wanted to share some things which have helped me with some of my issues with disinterest and lack of desire to finish a project! (I havent finished the video quite yet so i apologize if you already mentioned some of these) The first thing I do is i have a couple different projects at once. In minecraft specifically I usually have a terraforming project, a small build, a large build and some sort of game objective like killing the ender dragon or getting diamond tools. This takes advantage of that swinging pendulum of motivation instead of forcing yourself to fight it. Another thing i would recommend is dont force yourself to finish a project if you have lost interest. For me, personally, trying to work on things i have no interest in is like bashing my head against a wall. Change gears and reevaluate later. Sometimes you have to let projects go, but you can always come back later! Im with you about despising the competitive nature of a lot of creative platforms. What I would recommend is to actually let your audience know which videos youre proud of. I personally want to see things a creator has put their heart and soul into and im sure many other people do as well. Guiding your audience towards the content you're proud of lets them experience projects you worked on but they may have not realized they would enjoy. Dont be afraid to brag about yourself! I hope these helped and I wanted to thank you for aharing your experience. I love your style and am very glad I found your channel. Edit: I made it a little further and my ADHD compelled me to add more haha. That feeling of putting on an act but also not is called masking! Its very common among neurodivergent people and is how we subconciously make ourselfs appear "normal" to those around us. Its something that takes a while to unlearn, but isn't anything to freak out about. Its good that you recognize it and it can be a useful tool! Just make sure you aren't forcing yourself into it for the sake of content!

I have so many projects going at the moment, and that definitely helps to an extent, but the problem is sometimes i just never get anything finished. i'm slowly making my way through several videos right now, and often can't find the motivation to work on any of them. I do actually have a playlist of my most proud videos! I believe i called it something along the lines of "laynce starter pack". That has all the videos i can always come back to go and go "man that was awesome, i'm not sure i could, or want to top that". I learned so much about being neurodivergent since I made this video, and holy moly, knowledge is power. being able to at least partially understand why i do things the way i do has made a world of difference learning to live with the disorder. i have cut myself so much more slack, and can identify overstimulation, that previously i had no idea existed. i figured out that how sensitive to light, sound, and texture i am is not normal, and that i have tinnitus. that one is not related to adhd, but i always just assumed the humming was normal until recently. so my brain is loud for two reasons XD thank you for the lovely comment. it means a lot that you took the time to write this out

I will never stop being me. I am a human being, just like you. I will never pretend I’m anything other than that! The topics I talk about will change, that’s just the side affect of having a neurodivergent brain but- I will never not be me. My goals have always been to share my experiences, whether that be through a machine I built, or a build I’ve made, or a mini game I’ve played. But I want people to feel like they can do it too. Not just content creation, but living. Doing the things they want to do, and being the people they want to be. I have technically already accomplished this. I’ve helped people who felt like they couldn’t do something, or inspired them to continue a hobby they love. And that’s what I’m proud of myself for most. But I’ve only just begun.

keep creating! Your projects are amazing whether or not they get a million views or not! I am such a perfectionist, but it can be a good thing sometimes. It makes it harder to be timely with projects, but it also means the quality of the project is often much better. Just keep creating at your own speed. Ignore the numbers. If you make something that you're proud of, instead of what the youtube algorithm wants, you'll be happier in the long run, and how you feel about the project often reflects in the video as well! I with you luck with your future projects!

Life throws curve balls to everyone at some time during their life. Some people more than others. Embracing the parts that you can and acknowledging the other parts is how you move through it and use it to your advantage. Remember everything that happens is an opportunity to learn something about yourself and/or the people and world around you. I have watched all your videos and I can see how much you have already grown as a creator. I am proud of you. I find that if I have bitten off more than I can chew in regard to a project, I will become overwhelmed and demotivated. I have learnt to make my projects bite size pieces, or to be able to break them down into things I can chew without getting a sore jaw. Hmmm…I think I might be hungry. 😋 😂 (Oh, you did use ‘irks’ correctly.)

Giving yourself plenty of time to think and work is super important. And no matter how many times I hear it, I seem to never take the advice you gave XD I really need to work on smaller projects. Everything I make, I end up adding 40 unnecessary layers of complexity to it. But at the end it ends up being something amazing. If I can do that on a smaller scale, I’m confident I will be able to relax a lot more. And thank you! That means a lot ❤️ I have been learning about a variety of things recently that do and do not affect me personally, and I think it’s a really valuable thing to be able to understand others who you might not be able to relate to. I have not been diagnosed with autism, anxiety or depression, but now learning about it, makes understanding every person so much easier. People struggle all over the world for various reasons, but it’s heartwarming to find people who have empathy for others.

It is known as one of the most painful and debilitating conditions someone can have and has the nickname of ‘suicide disease’. You can guess why. One thing I found useful to get through to tomorrow is the stoic philosophy. Theres is a great channel called ‘Vox Stoica’. Where there are very well read audiobooks that will help. I recommend Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and anything from Seneca. I am now studying philosophy at university, one unit at a time. My bite size piece of education that I can handle 😊

Thank you for being here! I've been diagnosed since I was very little, but simply had no idea what that entailed till recently. Like you said, life has a lot of ups and downs. But that's what makes rollercoasters fun! Reflection and self-understanding is so important and under appreciated- I truly wish more people would talk about that more. I'm very happy to hear that you've taken to it! I remember your commenting on the first Coldcraft episode. Saying my voice reminds you of Etho is the single best compliment I have ever received ❤

I've been watching your videos for around 2 weeks, and the content is absolutely amazing. Your mod videos made me find minecraft fun again, I currently have a modded world with my boyfriend and I couldn't have been happier after finding those different types of amazing mods in your videos. As another content creator with ADHD and Autism, it is hard to keep interest into one thing. I always get distracted so easily when I'm working on something, both on Minecraft and outside of Minecraft. My words may not mean much, but I will say that we, everyone that comments all those sweet things are here for you Laynce. I'm glad I've discovered your channel. We are proud of you for keeping it up. Don't push yourself too hard into making videos that just get views, have fun with different ideas, see what makes you feel happy.

I know I'm like 2 months late my bad gang, but I think I've just found the greatest and most relatable (imo) minecraft video and channel in existence mate. As a creator and artist w ADHD, I find it incredibly frustrating to produce stuff that I enjoy, while also building and fostering a community/audience. I constantly doubt and overthink my ideas, so it takes forever to just get started making. Trying to work out what I wanna stick w long term sucks (in both art and yt), because I have so much that I want to create, and I'm worried that if I pick something I'm only interested in for a shorter time period, I'm stuck with it. It already feels like I'm stuck, and that even though I'm inspired by a bunch of things and wanna make stuff, my brain thinks maybe I genuinely don't want to, or I'm lying to myself or maybe I'm attempting this just to feel a sense of purpose/fulfilment/achievement or whatever. My bad got a little existential there This entire 15 page, 1000000 word count essay is just a collation of all my thoughts while watching this so feel free to skip over a lot of the ranting and slightly depressing stuff, whoever's reading 😭😭 With medication, it's hard to figure out the degree to which it works for me; fairly sure it does with more basic tasks and motivation, as life in general has become less overwhelming and I'm starting to enjoy the smaller stuff more. However, the other half of it is attempting to keep that motivation and put in the work with both my lifestyle and mindset, so that it's properly effective. I'm also a perfectionist and that significantly affects my work output. I have so many goals or things that I want to achieve and hobbies/interests that I want to pursue, but I find that it becomes too overwhelming to figure it out, so I just never start. Right now I'm really inspired by a lot of horror, cinematic, film-making, atmospheric, and animation content, but it feels insanely difficult to figure out both what I want to do on yt long term, and what my community wants. And similarly to what you said, I also put on a persona; it's hard and I wanna be able to find a balance between other's entertainment, and expressing myself, but as a person, I feel boring and uninteresting and no matter how much I research and learn abt the platform and my channel, everything just seems like too much and I give up. I know I've really got to just say fuck it we ball and start, but unluckily it doesn't feel as easy as I wish lol. I also find it difficult to process how I feel about certain stuff too, because again, it also feels like 'too much', and I don't really have a sense of community or belonging w everything that I'm doing. Anyways that's my large and poorly written ramble over lmao (can you tell I'm diagnosed), and reading it now, I've realised how morbid and depressing it sounds, so sorry about that... Overall I guess it's a process and a journey; I'm slowly getting better at stuff and looking back on where I was not even a year ago feels reassuring. Genuinely thank you for making this mate, it's seriously encouraging and motivating to hear and read both yours and other people's-especially similar-experiences (thanks everyone else here, and good luck!), and I look forward to seeing what you make in the future!!

Let's go! ADHD gang! I feel this whole video. ADHD is crazy frustrating. I'm writer, but also a gamer, and what I'm fighting for is balance and finding equal enjoyment in writing as I do in gaming. I used to write more consistently, but then it dropped off after I finished my first short story and graduated high school. Though it's funny, because I still write. I write at work on sticky notes. I sometimes write in college classes, or watching a movie with my family. But I'm not at my desk organizing those notes, doing something with those ideas. Ugh 😅 Indulging is easier than creating, but in order to get to my dream job? I need to put more time into writing and my creative projects. I'll get to it eventually. But it's cool hearing about your experience with ADHD! I thought I'd throw a semi-jumbled comment together and post it. So uh- yeah. *cough* #ADHDGang

A really difficult part of adhd that I hadn’t even known existed 6 months ago, is the inconsistency in wanting to work on projects. I never understood why I could never have the same circumstances and have the same drive for a project. It varies from moment to moment- it’s so odd. If you find it works best for you not having a dedicated time to write, don’t set one! If I’m understanding it correctly, it might be better to just always have something to write on nearby, and write when that inspiration to slaps you across the face. That’s when you do your best work, when you’re inspired, not when you’re forced. Maybe I misinterpreted your words, but hopefully that helps a little

Hello Laynce, I’ve already talked about content creation in some of your other videos but I feel like I haven’t said everything I wanted. I have made some videos and stuff myself but never posted them, it was just for fun, but while making those I realized how hard it can be to do so especially if you do it for the fame. Having watched the whole video I realized you make stuff really similarly to how I make them, by starting a lot of project but often never finishing them and making it just for the fun of it I guess, at least that’s what I noticed about all the hundreds of unfinished projects I have at this point, I think I just enjoy the process of making stuff and thinking about how I can make it better and better, but since for me it’s just personal project I don’t really push myself to finish them. I have never been diagnosed with ADHD (because I never tested for it) but I do have dyslexia, maybe this is why I do stuff this way, I think that trying to push yourself to do stuff for others is not good if you don’t want to burn out and I feel like doing so also pushes you away from your audience in a way, it may make you grow faster as a creator but I feel like you lose the more direct connecting to those who watch you for who you are and not who you try to be. I really enjoy the content where you just talk about your passions for photography and planning out builds and stuff, and I now noticed I don’t even really completely look at the finished results, I mostly look at the process which is where all the creativity really sits. If I were to be a content creator I think I wouldn’t be able to keep up with how hard you are working to push out finished and polished content, I would probably only post build ideas or project and discuss about them and maybe finish some if I really like them. So what you are doing is for me an astounding accomplishment if your way of thinking and making stuff is really so similar to mine. I really hope you can find a way to make stuff work like you would like them to work, and that you keep having fun while doing so. You will probably need to find some compromises though considering how KZbin works if you want to have this as a full time job. Just remember to not overdo it all the time just for the algorithm, and to keep some time for yourself and stuff you actually really want to do, I myself would much rather watch content you actually do with full passion than the other way, but as said earlier this doesn’t really work full time, only advantage of doing so is that everyone that watches you does it because of who you are re and not anything else. I may have jumbled up my words a bit here but I hope the message come somewhat across, I really hope your passionate content keeps coming out and it would also be extremely cool to just have at least one video of just you preparing and brainstorming ideas you have (although this would probably have really few viewers but it’s something I’m really interested in since it seems like you work the same way I do with really similar hobbies), also hoping that all the interactions you have with the community in the comments and so will last although it will inevitably get more difficult the more you grow. Best of luck as always and don’t forget to take care of yourself. (This is probably the longest yt comment I have ever written, lol)

I really appreciate the response! I was able to understand it all, no worries! I think for me, being able to share my stories with you all is a major part of the reward for me. I am very much proud of my work, but part of that successful feeling comes from seeing the people who feel empowered because of my words. Even if they stop watching my videos to make their own instead, that will have been a win in my book. I would recommend taking content creation slow if that’s something you want to get into. Consider it a hobby for now so you don’t overwhelm yourself with the intricate rules of KZbin. Don’t focus on views or consistency, focus on the project. Time shouldn’t be a consideration because it’s the process you enjoy. And that is 1000% okay! What one person gets out of KZbin could be totally different from you, and that is absolutely fine. I highly recommend picking up content creation, even if it’s to a small degree. You don’t even have to post the videos. As long as you’re proud of whatever you’re doing, then you’re doing it right.

The more I hear people talk about adhd the more i start to believe that I do have it, because I struggle a lot with so many simple things that everyone seems to never struggle with, and hearing you talk about it was like, I just feel you I know what's you're talking about, and you're really not alone, I believe you can achieve great things in life I love you're perception on some things, like minecraft for example the way you play and make vids is nowhere out there, I tend to do things just to avoid ending up with the belief that I have an issue, because I believe that believing I have adhd will make it somehow more real and I don't want that, so that's how I deal with it My English isn't perfect so hope it makes sense

Avoiding bringing attention to a disorder does nothing but make everything more confusing in my opinion. You will have adhd either way, knowing it doesn’t change that. Your brain works a different way than a neurotypical mind, and knowing it or not will not change that. For me, since learning about it, how I function differently, I have become infinitely happier, and more understanding of myself and others. I feel like I can relax more knowing that not everything that everyone does is possible for me. I am not perfect and that is okay. I love myself. I would highly recommend doing research on the disorder and possibly getting tested if you conclude there’s a high likelyhood of you having it. The more you know about yourself, the easier it will be to work with that knowledge :)

I’m really glad this resonates with you! The number of times I been frozen, unable to do this things I want to do, is unending. I totally understand going unmediated for that reason. For me, medication doesn’t seem to affect how creative I am, but rather how much I talk about it. I generally am happier, though sometimes anxious because of it, so overall it’s been a positive experience. Any work will usually paralyze me. From something as small as getting out of bed, to school projects I might not be interested in- things I WANT to do, I simply cannot. It’s so odd. The video I commented on I had saved in my tabs for hours before I had a chance to sit down and watch it. I was eager to see it though because I had skimmed through it and loved every frame I landed on. I am so grateful KZbin put you on my recommended.

After like 4 years of being unemployed my parents thought i had ADHD, so i went to (sorry if what i'm saying is not correct, im not english) a sort of phycologist for checking out if actually i have it but said i don't have it, even tho how you described how an ADHD person acts i usually act the same way. I wanna be a freelancer (because i feel like its the work for me, i'm actually decent as a video editor) and maybe a content creator (even tho i have a 8 years old now crappy pc) i don't know, i have to fix some bad habits, getting back on what i left aside and stop thinking what other people think of what i'm doing.

Like a majority of your comments who support everything you say and do, although you are always wanting to be acknowledged, unscripted content is the absolute most real you can get with people. I am Autistic and ADHD. I both have the lockdown and the fixations on my passions... The one thing I hesitated always was "Ope, well I guess the burnout hit, time to start taking my break, don't know when I'll come back, but I will eventually..." Being able to start a project and learn from the experience, and not just focus on putting out a finished project can teach and satiate so many desires neurodivergence creates within a person. UNSCRIPTED CONTENT IS HUMAN! I cannot stress this is enough, be human, make content you love. Maybe have some "Snippets" for the promotion that you reuse, but never stray from your passions!

Exactly. I actually learned about this! Imagine our brains have a chamber. There’s one red pipe, and 5 green ones. The red pipe delivers dopamine to the chamber for the brain to use. Once it uses it, the 5 green pipes suck up the now empty dopamine in order to keep the chamber from overfilling. But the adhd brain’s green pipes are too good, (or there are too many, I can’t remember) and when the red pipe sends dopamine to that chamber, the green pipes suck it up before we can even use it. Hence why we tend not to get that reward effect a lot of the time. I’m not sure if all the adhd meds do this, but mind will act as a grate over the ends of the pipes, clogging it up and giving my brain a chance to use that dopamine. I would take my explanation with a grain of salt because I may have my words incorrect, but if what I remember is in fact true, that is a simple way to understand one of the issues in our brain

I can’t focus on high school and while I’m going through the crests and trough of interest and disinterest, everyone’s getting ahead of me and I’m scared. I don’t know where I’ll end up.

I understand that feeling all too well. Whether you have it or not is not determined by acceptance. If you have it, you have it. It will affect you regardless. But when you accept it, when you start to allow yourself to be imperfect and give yourself room to make mistakes, you learn to love who you are more. I don’t think I would get rid of my adhd if I could. Yes it’s an immense struggle. I would be alongside my peers in college, but instead I’m inconsistently making KZbin videos. But I am so proud of this. What I do, how I do it. I am so proud of my creativity. There is no way I’d come up with my wacky ideas if I didn’t bounce all over the place. I love who I am. And you deserve love from yourself too. I barely passed high school, I have many flaws, regrets and imperfections. But that doesn’t make me any less worthy of love. And neither does it you. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. If you need help with guidance, maybe sit down your parents and suggest you might have adhd. A doctor, a grandparent, a sibling, anyone who will listen. It’s okay to ask for help. There is nothing wrong with allowing yourself to be loved and cared for. Give yourself that love ❤️

I go to a really hard Private school and I'm 2 years younger than everyoneand has Dyslexia, ADHD And insomnia My mother put me in early And I can't let her down because she pays a lot of money for this so if I can't get held Back that's half the .obey she made that year so I've been struggling for her. My parents are divorced I don't know my dad I've never meet him and its only my mother she works day to night for me so I feel him being burnt out

I’m very sorry to hear that. That’s a very difficult situation that I don’t have the qualifications to speak on. I would recommend maybe talking to a counselor or a therapist about it, or your mother if that’s an option. Explain what you’re going through. In my opinion, it’s your life you shouldn’t be forced to live it the way someone else wants you to. Even if that’s your parents. But I also understand it’s a more complex situation than that. I hope you’re able to navigate through this. If you need someone to talk to, dm me on discord. I’m not a therapist, but I can listen well :)

honestly this video hits me hard for only the reason (which i said last stream) that i kinda have anti adhd so basically all the adhd symptoms are cranked up and reversed so im too much in a point and then zone out and still continue with the same topic and my attention span is like way too high for that reason its kinda weird and i dont know if thats a problem or not √}

I’d never heard of that before you brought it to my attention! I can’t speak a whole lot on it because I know very little, but I think it would absolutely be worth learning about. Reading about other people’s experiences with adhd, and listening to lectures about the disorder really helped me start to understand myself and learn to be more accepting of who I am and why I act the way I do. I hope you find some sources to help you better understand yourself. That knowledge is incredibly powerful.

and the fact that makes it worse is that adhd has bad attention span so whenever i search for the reverse it says how to reverse adhd and not what does reverse adhd mean or whatever it is :'(
