As ADHDers we are very interest-based in learning and doing things... so struggling with mundane things that we're not interested in doesn't make us stupid, just different 😊.

[@supermaryg]

Just gonna mention too how f'ed up the blackface Community incident was, because as you pointed out the narrative is that even implied blackface is bad. Netflix removed that episode YET they didn't remove an episode of Mad Men where one of the main characters literally does the minstrel act in full blackface, and everyone is laughing and having a great time. No message other than celebration of 100% direct intentional blackface. That episode was never removed. It's all performative.

[@crustpunkjesuschrist]

I mean same with Always Sunny, but as stupid as fans of any slightly edgy property are, there’s probably at least a percentage of people who think the gang is cool/admirable despite the whole point of the show being that they’re sociopathic losers whose downfall you’re supposed to laugh at

[@malashebad6181]

@@crustpunkjesuschrist this is a good point but in all cases I think there's a difference between being someone who's complexion (as a dark skinned Black person) is exactly what's being mocked versus being someone who generally finds the concept of blackface to be detestable because of it's history and use throughout the last century and a half. I understand all of the "critique of blackface by doing blackface" bits from 2000's and 2010's t.v. but it's still physically upsetting to see it on screen because I am affected by colorism and featurism more often and more intensely than Black folk who are lighter complected. Like it's cute unless you talk to the ppl most affected by it then it's just cringe and upsetting cause i can't laugh when i feel that kind of icky and queezy.

[@Doit4mojo]

@@malashebad6181Nah ur 100% right but I think the reactions towards Jarvis were lame asf

[@marmalade2726]

i think something about adhd is that for people with adhd and comorbid disorders (autism, depression, bpd etc) it makes it harder to find or commit to things that help them like structure and stuff. so when others with adhd say that their adhd is manageable with structure and regimes, they can become defensive because for them it’s often a lot harder to stick to those, or find the motivation to start them. it can be hard to acknowledge that for some people, adhd doesn’t impact their lives to the extent that it does for others. idk just felt like adding some nuance to the discussion lol

[@hebedite4865]

a huge part of that is, for a lot of people, the fact that people who aren't neurodivergent will use the success of people who are less severely impacted by their ADHD against those of us who do need extra help/accommodations. It's such a sore subject because we are constantly told throughout our lives that we "aren't good enough" and that our disabilities aren't a vaild excuse for our behavior. (speaking very generally, there are ofc certain things that can't be excused)

[@bells9881]

Thank you for this!! I was a little taken aback by some of the points from the conversation but I didn’t know how to word it without sounding defensive. I think it’s so important to acknowledge that everyone is different, and just because one person can manage their adhd in a specific way that doesn’t mean it works for everyone. Especially since burnout and overall life stressors play into adhd symptoms and just one’s general well-being. In general life is hard and we all just need to be a little bit more compassionate and understanding

[@shahs1221]

@@bells9881 I've listened to Hasan talk about this issue a lot and where he's coming from is talking about those who get ultra defensive/aggro and start putting words in his mouth. It's not just adhd but any topic that Hasan talks about where he can be the most nuanced person talking about his own experiences but a few dozen people think he's directly addressing to them and get super offended. One example is when we were on the topic of public transport and how beneficial it is (existing cities outside of the US that aren't car reliant are living proof of this), and someone in the chat got so heated and @Hasan and said "well, I'm sorry I need a car to get around due to my disability!!" and we were all like... bruh, we're not saying you're not allowed to have a car. It's things like that that get really annoying where being defensive turns into being a hyper individualistic asshole/self report. The point is not everyone is the same and when someone speaking on an issue talks about something and has different experiences, they're referring to that. Anyway, I'm rambling at this point but hopefully you get what I'm getting at. 😅

[@bells9881]

@@shahs1221 thank you for the response!! I definitely understand that aspect and I didn’t mean to misinterpret what he was saying at all, or try to paint him as a bad guy that’s minimizing others! It’s more just the overall mentality of minimizing people that bothers me, but it wasn’t what they were actually saying and that’s why I wasn’t sure how to word my thought haha if that makes sense :) i have a degree in psychology & neuroscience and I do mental health research so I end up seeing a lot of really mean comments and I feel compelled to destigmatize, but again i didn’t think they were doing this

[@shimmerence]

yess this i definitely think adhd can pack a bigger punch when it’s on top of other conditions, they make each other worse. i like to call depression, anxiety, and adhd ‘the unholy trinity’

[@meowJACK]

I loved them talking about how a ~1-10 minute task can weigh on you for weeks/months/years and you feel like you 100% SHOULD be able to do it cuz it's not hard or time-consuming or unpleasant or anything, yet for some reason you just CANT. absolutely by far the most frustrating thing about ADHD for me. I'll get stuck on certain things for MONTHS (or even years in extreme cases) and when I finally do it, it only takes like 2min to do, and then it's like "why tf did I have to spend months/years dreading and avoiding and stressing tf out about this thing that coulda been done in TWO MINUTES??". Yet even being aware of that, somehow I'm not able to overcome it in the moment, it feels like I PHYSICALLY just cannot. There always eventually comes a moment where all of a sudden I'm able to do it, in a way I simply wasn't able to the entire time leading up to that moment.

[@alexevans2011]

EXACTLY currently it’s just cleaning my room. All I have to do is pick up some dirty clothes and put them in the wash and empty the trash can. THATS IT. And I’ve been putting it off for months despite constantly being like okay you have to do it now and then I just don’t for no fucking reason

[@lodewijk.]

That section hit me so hard because I identify with it to a T and it's something I constantly struggle with. I'm not diagnosed with ADHD, but I've been wondering about it lately and I had no idea this was a symptom. Out of curiosity do you have any ways to cope with this problem or no

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

Hearing these guys perfectly talk about my life and describe how I've struggled with "tasks" my whole life.. the procrastination, the body doubling, keeping house, and something I haven't heard mentioned yet, the GUILT or shame of being this way was such a huge hit to my brain, my heart.. fuck, even my soul.. I'm honestly overwhelmed and can't even begin to describe how I feel. Any time I've tried to explain the obstacles I feel in getting stuff done, I've always been met with either blank stares or disapproval. In all my years, this is the most validated I've ever felt. I hope it happens more, I feel kinda silly at how profound I'm making it out to be, but it's not something I've experienced much at all.

[@noellethomas2589]

Jarvis, I just got a procedure done to correct a deviated septum to improve breathing and sleep, and it was super easy. Obviously talk to an ENT and/or do a sleep study to find out if it's what yo need, but don't be afraid of the process. It's not super invasive, took under an hour and you're under anesthesia for it. Recovery is pretty smooth, low pain, just can't use your nose for about a week until the stents come out. Highly recommend if your doctor does as well, I can easily breathe 2x better than before.

[@soupguzzler7848]

that things Jarvis was talking about in the ADHD section with needing to have someone around to "quote his hand" is actually something called body-doubling. its basically just having another person around to keep you responsible for doing your task. Its one of my #1 ways i am able to do work

[@soupguzzler7848]

[@misrupt5226]

Holy shit the ADHD section of this episode was extremely helpful for me as someone who has not really found any ways to deal with it. This was super helpful to listen to and made me really hopeful for improving my existence with ADHD. Genuine question, not even sure if this is related but anyone else in this situation struggle to sleep at a proper time? My brain is always in a different state of energy. I heavily gravitate towards nighttime, I always call myself a vampire because I actually have a problem not staying up all night because my brain is cranking hard (brrrr). But every time I fix my schedule, I almost immediately flop it on its head and stay up even sometimes if im exhausted my brain isnt.

So think about most people with it that are forced to fit into a system that is completely incompatible with your brain.

[@finchcarvingadiamond]

Yeah, I'm a hasanabi head, and maybe I'm missing something here, but his concept on people being over sensitive about the debilitation factor really made me wonder why people were calling this segment "super-validating". They all go on to discuss that feeling, but comments like that remind me of the difficulties of- what do ya know- dismissal, minimization and *~rejection~* that comes with opening about it in general. When he said he didn't know what RSD was I was like "there you go".

[@cedrichofstetter4057]

Watching this helped me realize something I have dealt with in the past is actually related to my ADHD.

[@cinder.squire1122]

I have found motivations for environmental selfcare to be much easier to avquire when living with other people.

[@AllCloudsAreBunnies]

This episode was so incredible. I’ve been looking forward to this happening for so long as I’ve been a fan for everyone here for years, so seeing them together in the same space was so wholesome and honestly therapeutic. In particular, the portion talking about ADHD was very illuminating because while I was diagnosed with it in like.. 2006? Maybe? I’ve always been told to essentially just power through it and if I can’t do that with adderall alone and no psychological help, then I’m a worthless, person shaped, pile of garbage, so there’s a lot about it that I am unaware of… There’s a lot of things that you guys are saying that makes so much sense to me! I just kind of thought the everybody lived like this, though. I had no idea.. thank you. I am so happy. Thank you, all. Ps Jordan’s humor has always been so perfect but my god he’s just killing it on these

[@lonesomephreak69]

One of the big reasons I watch this is when you guys talk about ADHD. I went undiagnosed for over 30 years, and it's the meds AND the cognitive "therapy", changes one makes to cope. Meds don't fix everything, they just allow someone to sort out how to deal with the issues. Many of the "issues" (hyper-focusing especially) are still there, but now I can at least recognize it and break it when needed....or use it to my advantage. Being diagnosed and letting my workplace know has been good, my coworkers also understand and will watch out if I'm loosing focus, let me WFH to concentrate on difficult tasks, and know they can give me projects that are pretty complex and "let me do my thing" and I almost always get them done. I'm also in IT, specifically cyber-security (now, that I'm medicated and able to keep my stuff in-line) so Jarvis's life experiences, stories, and such have really helped me find new ways in this "adhd adventure".

[@CheeseduckClaire]

Hasan looks like Jarvis' and Jordan's son. Perfect mix of the two

[@icebabey3644]

As someone who has shit eyesight that is degrading at an abnormal level *and* someone w/ ADHD, I can definitely see what Hasan was trying to say, but honestly the conversation even between the two is so nuanced. Like, up to a certain point, people who are visually impaired are accommodated more by society. It’s a lot easier to get a diagnosis and treatment, and people don’t dismiss it as a legitimate issue as easily as some people do with ADHD. Part of this has to do with mental and invisible disabilities vs disabilities that have a tangible physical presentation/representation. The lack of overall societal accommodation for ADHD makes navigating life with it more difficult, even with medication, when compared to what people view as the “standard” for visually impaired people. (The “standard” in this context refers to people who need glasses to see & function in everyday life but could move around a room without their glasses, includes those with astigmatisms, worsening vision in old age, and no eye diseases or rarer issues.) We are easily accommodated because we have corrective lenses that do most of the fixing for us, the outside world doesn’t have to change much to make things easier for us. However, there does reach a point where things are less accommodating, where people are visually impaired past what society considers “normal”. This includes people who are blind to any degree, including legally blind, people missing an eye, and people who are experiencing abnormal vision loss/premature vision conditions. (I fit in the last category.) These aren’t things that can be fixed with corrective lenses or medications, and require more of the world around us to change and accommodate for us. (Think braille, handicap accessible doors/entrances, people moving out of the way when they see someone using a guide cane.) (The reason premature conditions/degrees of vision loss is included in this list is due to the abnormality of the situation and a possible lack of resources if the situation is rare enough. And the fact that many people will say that someone is “too young” to have whatever is ailing them.) ADHD is in the middle, where we can take medications and develop strategies to mitigate the struggles of dealing with it, but we also need certain things in the outside world to change to allow us to function in an outside system.

[@ana.pistachio4121]

I just want to put this out there for Jarvis, I also suffered from sleep apnea from deviated septum. I got a septoplasty last year and not only has my day-to-day life improved because I am now fully able to breathe out of my nose, my sleep also has benefited dramatically. So I highly highly recommend looking into septoplasty. Jaw surgery definitely sounds a bit more intrusive. The septoplasty took about a week to heal, you'll have these weird plastic slugs in your nose to where you can't really taste or smell anything for about a week. Afterwards though, it's night and day.

That's insane, I have experienced this last part of the conversation so many times. I find it so much easier to do things when someone is next to me. And I always felt so bad about it because I felt like I was making them baby me. But they don't even need to do anything I just want them there. My ex used to do it she would just sit in the room with me she would do her thing and I would do mine. I also get it when I'm driving like many ideas come to me when I'm driving. I think the brain gets tricked because when I do one thing it's already trying to do an other but if I'm doing a mindless task then my brain can kind jump around as it's already busy and it doesn't feel guilty about it.

I think the "or everything else falls apart" is the sensitive part for people. I'm the same age as Hasan and got diagnosed last year before my wedding. I didn't want to "press continue" on life and was luckily self aware enough to know it was an irrational series of thoughts/feelings. I say all that to say that I ended up in a space between Jordan and Hasan. Having to have a strict schedule or everything falls apart, but also took makes / took accountability / got a lot of therapy. But I do get a little tender around the "ooh look a squirrel" tropes, because I had to unpack a lot of feelings of "feeling" unwanted, being a "shooting star", being a "failure" because I was smart but didn't reach my potential. Growing up a country black army brat didn't help (prayer vs medicine, black excellence indoctrination i.e. "you have to work twice as hard for half as much, hustle culture "you didn't work hard enough that's why you're here preachings). I did have to be kind to myself and acknowledge I did the best I could without the support I probably needed. I still have a long way to go but have seen a lot of growth in the last year.

[@meowJACK]

Yesssss. It's so reassuring. Especially considering most of the time you try to talk about this kinda stuff (at least in my experience) people don't seem to really get it. It gets misconstrued as laziness or irresponsibility or being "overdramatic" or other things along those lines. The reaction is typically very "uhhhhh I don't really get what the issue is here, that sounds like an extremely simple thing to fix, Just Do The Thing and then it won't bother you anymore" and it's like I LITERALLY CANNOT, THAT'S THE ENTIRE ISSUE 😭😭

I’m glad to hear you guys talk about the way some terminally-online ppl get defensive about their adhd. I have a white friend who compared the importance of adhd representation to POC rep, and then she got mad at me for saying that she shouldn’t compare her adhd to being subject to racism your entire life. Oh yeah, and she sends me passive aggressive memes about how poc act like every problem in our lives is because of racism.

What allegations 😭

[@messymari]

For those who resonated with the idea of working better when someone is on facetime with you, even just silently sitting there working on their own thing -- this is a fairly common coping mechanism for neurodivergent and adhd folks often called "body doubling." I've needed that kind of help my whole life (to write papers in college, to set up doc appts, to do chores). I can absolutely do the things myself, like in the case of the parking tickets Hasan mentioned, the issue is often just starting the tasks and not allowing myself to get distracted during. Research is still being done to figure out exactly why it's effective, but it certainly works for me! There are even forums online devoted to giving people that "coffee shop feel" or even pairing up people one-on-one to co-work if you don't have family members or friends who are able to be there with you when you need the body doubling support. Def suggest trying it out if you find yourself struggling with executive functioning!

[@messymari]

Aaaaand, Jarvis just covered what it's called. Anyway, still suggest looking up the forums if you're interested!

[@simplicitylost]

Even people who don’t can benefit from others just being around. Just yesterday my mom was talking about how she needs to clean the house but it’s such a pain unless there’s someone else there to help her… and by help, she literally just means someone else being there so that she’s not doing it by herself.

[@WaffleSalad]

@@messymarilol I was literally about to make a comment and then Jarvis brought it up😂😂 but body doubling is the best. I used to FaceTime my best friend every night bc for some reason I could actually start my homework when I had someone sitting on the phone even if they’re completely ignoring me. Looking back it’s wild we just started doing that without either of us knowing that was like a real strategy. Now both of us have an adhd diagnosis and it all makes sense lmao

[@JennyIsHere]

Hearing Jarvis describe rejection sensitive dysphoria was an eye-opening moment. That described my experience to a T. I always ascribed that feeling to social anxiety and being a people pleaser, but it has never fully encapsulated the intensity of negative self-talk and rejection I feel in those moments. Thank you for opening up and sharing your personal experience!

Every married woman has to do a saving throw once a month. Once she fails, she will no longer have her period and begin pregnancy.

one of the absolute worst things with adhd for me (amongst like 3456 others) is how poor my memory is. I will watch a movie, love it and a month later I will not be able to tell you how it ended. I will read books and just not remember a thing from them, not remember entire conversations 2 days after having them, someone will ask me to do something, I will agree with a genuine intention to do it, leave the room and the request will just evaporate from my brain entirely. There are topics that I have studied over and over and over again and still have to look them up because I don't remember what the case was, it's fucking exhausting and it makes me feel so stupid like I will never amount to anything if I can't memorise simple shit.

YES FINALLY HASAN ON THE POD

[@winkcloud]

When you guys were talking about the inability to start on the smallest tasks I realized this is exactly what I started suffering from this summer-executive dysfunction. I don't have ADHD but I do fall under the general "neurodivergent" umbrella and I agree that you really do have to do what works for you. I still don't have any coping mechanisms for it, but putting a name to my struggle makes it a bit easier. If anyone else figures out what to do with this though... let me know

[@valkyrie4350]

When this started for me about a year ago I would set timers for myself. Really short ones too like here’s 5 minutes and I’ll do whatever chore I want and then just seeing how much work could be done in 5 minutes alone helped out a lot. I always see any chores or deadlines as looming over me so it’s good to ground yourself and remember it’s not gonna be forever. Now I try to do 15 minutes and by the time the alarm goes off I’m just on a roll and don’t stop. Still difficult, but it’s a little easier. And always reward yourself!!!!!

[@winkcloud]

honestly the adhd discussions you guys have on this podcast have been so helpful in changing how i view my own adhd. the episode where jarvis talked about the warped idea that executive dysfunction means only doing things you like and how thats just false when you break it down made me treat myself with so much more kindness. it's rare to see discussions about adhd from any perspectives that arent children or parents of adhd children or neurotypicals who have never dealt with the lived experience of adhd, and its been truly healing to hear you guys talk about it

[@sarahwilley7471]

I came back to this episode to listen to y'all chat about your ADHD experiences. Since getting on meds to treat my ADHD, I've doubted my diagnosis because I've managed to keep things together. But like Hasan, I need a routine to maintain my day to day. Prior to medication, I heavily relied on momentum to get me through the day. I'm so burnt out because of it. Needless to say, your openness has been helpful to me in this moment

Live in a South East Asian household. The idea of having to wear shoes in your very own home is WILD to us. Unless your floors are not well cleaned (as it should be), why are you wearing anything other than house slippers if you want to have something on your feet. I remember seeing that nonsense when I watched a movie and there was a typical, white American family and the daughter was wearing SNEAKERS while chilling on her bed. Like... WHY??

[@emilieesswein8759]

Watching Hasan has definitely helped me realize the things that help me with my adhd. I have the same style of regimented life for my adhd because I tried what he described and it really works for me. People think I’m super good at time management, but if I don’t do it, I fall apart.

[@andziamikolaj9799]

my problem is how do you start doing it, I cannot for the life of me start waking up at the same hours, I know it helps me to have a regimen but I just cannot keep it up, I have a 1000 alarms I put the alarm in weird places I have planners apps calendars lists notebooks I feel like I literally tried everything at this point and my adhd is not budging. I live with my grandparents and my grandma literally wakes me up every day, I still fail to get out of bed before noon on some days. I'm slowly taking control over my executive functioning but damn I am so so far away from having a consistent routine, I just can't imagine how you just flip. At the same time I know symptoms vary in severity. I just feel hopeless I dream of having a consistent regimen and it seems impossible rn or any time soon

[@AllCloudsAreBunnies]

@@andziamikolaj9799 keep trying. Nothing will just flip into suddenly working the way you wish things were… slow but consistent and constant progress towards your goals is more important than being able to do something big immediately because it’s more likely that habits you form over long periods of time will become much more likely to be successful and will stay ingrained in your everyday life as well. Good luck

@@andziamikolaj9799hey! So I can’t wake up at the same time either but I gave up on doing that! What I do is start my day the same way no matter when I wake up. So do a repetitive activity to get me in the mode of “my day has now started” maybe that’ll help!

[@chi-chiiitvvv9984]

The adhd conversation should honestly show that it can be very debilitating in many aspects. I can understand for Hasan why he feels it’s nothing crazy bc he has a very tight regimen that he follows to a tea but just a little break in the regimen can lead to chaos in your day. And the socialization aspect, putting off things that don’t give you dopamine, time blindness, etc, then you add co-morbidities onto those, adhd can be so debilitating.

[@rabbit6546]

Yeah that was kind of funny to me when he was like ‘it’s so easy to manage!!! All you have to do is have an extremely strict regimented schedule that you never stray from and have everything planned extremely in advance with no off days :) hope this helps!!’ And it’s like bestie if you have to go to such extremes that ppl don’t understand how you can live like that then maybe adhd is actually difficult LOL

The way that I look at it is I will find new channels from someone Hasan reacts to. And if im watching someone Hasan reacts to, I'll always watch the video first and I'll be like "well what do people I listen to think of this?" or sometimes the other way around and I will watch the original after the react. I don't think creators can grasp that. It's parasocial Andy stuff.

[@sladesigoii5983]

I think a lot of the pushback from people with ADHD is that we always experience "just try harder" feedback, so understanding that your brain does work a bit diferently keeps you from feeling like you're just objectively bad at life. I do agree that pills don't make skills, but they definitely help.
