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

I have the same thing, i can remember like things that you learn at school in general normally by a combination of two problems i may have, but not anything else. I can forget something i am doing or just did easily, and because of my probable ADHD/ aphantasia combination (aphantasia disabling people to remember things with one or more of the five senses ; and me having it "total" i guess) it would be less obvious because it would cancel a few effects; i got in trouble for it a few times now, and starting to think more and more about diagnostising when i can :/ Have a nice day !

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!!

[@Paul_Michael]

I could remember several years ago as a teenage, i got diagnosed with ADHD. 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. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@Harris_jones]

I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

[@ErnestoHorner88]

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

[@nicholda436]

YES very sure of mycologist Predroavaro. This treatment worked for me too. Helped me get rid of my life long depression and BPD.

[@MuratEden]

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!

the chances of him getting depressed and overthinking are pretty high so look for that. give him small tasks so he could get some dopamine dose fixed.and dont make him feel like he is different in a negative way and let him do most of the things his way . if he is missing out on the classes tell him to take pre recorded lectures so he coild rewind if he zones out. and best of luck 🤞 and if you need any help feel free to reach out i would be more than happy to help cuz I've been there when no one tried to understand me and tbh its quite frustrating. peace out ✌️

The part where the teacher asks him to focus and it plays over multiple times hit me hard at how accurate that was. You don’t have things play over audibly and visually like the video but that moment of embarrassment plays over and over in your head. Other times when someone is giving you step by step instructions, I play the first step over and over in my head so I won’t forget it, meanwhile I’m not paying attention to the subsequent steps.

[@beccahawkins1905]

Yeah, this is relatable to me too. I replay moments of interactions over and over in my head after they happen, especially if they were negative. It’s horrible.

[@extrapathos]

I don't have adhd, but I do have social anxiety, and that part was relatable. I conciously replay interactions in my head all the time, negative and positive, in part to confirm them. Positive interactions I think about for validation like "that went smoothly, good job! or "that was a fun time, now how can we get that more often?" Most of the time I'm replaying negative interactions to review and rationalize them, make sure I have a legit reason to worry about them. Asking myself "will this impact my reputation? Do they think I'm weird? Am I in trouble?" And the answer is usually either "eh, they'll forget about it, they probably didn't even notice" or "oh god I'm fucked." In fact I replay _every_ interaction, firstly assessing whether it's pos or neg. Might have something to do with my ocd as well.

[@amandah5478]

I have ADHD and personally I don't think you should go "easier" on people with ADHD. It only serves to hurt us later on. Mental handicap or not we have to learn to adapt. Everyone in life is served a challenge, and there are no shortcuts. Treat us like everyone else and we will learn to overcome

[@birdie8006]

@@rhys4303 i would argue otherwise; that i would have completely fallen behind and failed numerous classes if i wasn't given the proper accommodations (testing alone in a room, private tutoring, etc.) - and because of these accommodations, i succeeded immensely in places where i could've fallen hard, especially in college! better grades = better mental health as well. i was miserable when i was unaccommodated and failing.

[@birdie8006]

@@rhys4303 but! that being said, i don't see accommodations as "special treatment" or anything and i certainly never wanted to be treated like a child. i desperately wanted to be just like my peers! so much so that it contributed to my depression. but if we're to be treated "like everyone else" - does that mean we aren't to be medicated, too? something to consider
