hey, I like theh song playing in the background. I have a 5 year old daughter who has been quite surprising to me andd how much she remembers. It's amazing , she told me where we were in Toronto when she was 2 1/2 when she had been there only once before. The bus was crowded and I could barely look out the windows. She has not had a diagnosis ...... but yah anyways.... i like your video

To everyone whom have posted, BLOGTV is where I produce a live daily show, if you wish to tune in I am AbiliTV on BlogTV. M-thurs about 8:am or so to about 5 or so PM. Warning it is RANDOM and laid back. MUSIC, VIDEO, DIY digital Audio studio tips, Minecraft/Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, and other random topics. With disability awareness mixed in LIVE.
Feeling different, is not easy until you learn the truth about who you are. Pick your battles. If I was missing a leg you can see my disability and know but when it's in your head no one understands, or believes , I'm very bright at things I like but just inattentive to things that are not my interests . ADHD and bipolar is my life and manny others out there . Speak out and help each others is what we need to do. Not hide and pretend to be something your not. Don't insult your creator, but hel
@SpinergyDude I wish that were true, however, we live in a society that is based on NOT helping each other and instead pulling each other's eyes out. Instead of bringing peace and helping each other, people are at each other's throats. you see that clearly happening around you every sinlge day, let's not deny it. It is so sad how petty and small people areand hoe they think they can actually win by controlling others. When will that change? Soon?
I have ADHD & reading isn't one of my strengths so I have n iPhone 4 it has a voice reader n a spell checker but it doesn't work on videos so could u make a speaking video please .
@mickhawk911 No worries this video is not really meant to be read as it is more about the visual, and the hearing mix of things than anything. But, your idea is excellent. I will in fact work on something like this speaking. And, thanks for the post Mick :)
@MrRazzadaman :) It's meant as a look at what ADHD is like for me is all. The music was something I liked and used to mix with the video at the time as it seemed to really fit. Thank for the post XD
Very good video! Thanks for posting and increasing awareness of this. It is a blessing of a disorder. Hopefully everyone will get this in this matrix we now live in. From an evolutionary standpoint, we are here due to the fact that our ancestors with ADD were more atune to their surroundings and ran from the danger, while others perished being too focused. Also, great inventions came from those with ADD.
I don't know if you meant to do this, but the music is... comforting. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense. I *have* visually watched the entire video a few times. I can catch most of what you are saying. The music does not distract me from text as I register it with a different mental thread. The text is fast, but so is my mind. :) I call this "scatter vision". Retention, 5 minutes and it is all gone. Anyway - a fantastic video. ~ No back to the damn dishes. Distraction! :)
@rc5retro actually for me I used the music that seemed to best fit the mood of the moment. And, for me also it is calming more than anything. it allowed me to focus more on the making of the video actually. My live show has a ton of music played on it, and it helps. Good luck on those dishes. LOL And, thanks for the awesome post. :)
Well done for the post, my son has adhd, i think i do too,although mine is quite mild. Im no 35..and its got better with age. I can only imagine what my son endures..he has HFA and adhd nd possibly some other conditions not yet diagnosed...keep up the good work..turn it into a positive is a very healthy thing :)
DO you ever mentor other young men /boys that have ADHD as bad as you do? my son is 15 and you totally opened my eyes to what he has beentrying to explain to me.he is now sitting in a mental health facitlity residential. now i think it was wrong to put him there.
@shadowcraig2 Now that is a great question. No, actually I have never thought about this before. However, I do a live show M-Thurs and on every other SAT as I can and some Fridays, on BLOGTV dot com as AbiliTV. Where all sorts of great topics come up. ADHD is one of them at times. It's an non charity, effort to spread awareness of disAbilities of all types mental and physical, as well as lead by example what it is like to cope with them myself. Thanks for posting. :)
@keshdos TY for the post, now that stinks. However, I have read several decent books on the topic. All of them rather boring, but good once I read them. Check them out of the library. Look for ADD, ADHD and coping and or living with it. Some are written by people with it. And i found that that helped me tons. If that is you didn't do this before now. Thanks again for the post. :)
@Scorpioladie1 Hi, nah, it has not changed since I first posted it. You made me watch it again to make sure it has not changed. O,o LOL Thanks for the post. :)
I take concerta to help me focus in school. I suffer from ADHD and PDD. In a struggle to pass 10th grade, I continue trying to graduate with a diploma!!!!
@88shiggles TY for the post, and I recall being in school O,o You are on the right path. Keep on trying, and soon you will pass, and look back and say... WOW! I did it! I should know, I was the same way in school.
@88shiggles i have minor adhd and extremely minor dislexia. i take and focolinxr statera to stay focused but the i get offtopic andsidetracked so that conversation gets confusing i have the ability to focus on things that intrest me which includes many school topics like science math english.
i have adhd to but thanks to my depression it stays under control pretty well. ive been on adderall, ritalin, and strattera but they didnt really help much. ive been off meds for adhd for like 8 or 9 years now, maybe longer, and i aint doin to bad. im 18 by the way
In case I didn't reply to a post, Thanks for the posts you all have made. I want to let people know that I do a live web show on UStream and am on twitter also as AbiliTV. I am on M-F 10Am Eastern time US (NY) time. Pop in and chill out and chat with others.
I have ADHD and AS and depression j am not allowed Ritalin as I have attempts suicide on several occasions see your gp they help trust me and take a break from home life
Your video does give a clear insight into one's mind although you seem to be very very negative...ADHD is actually very common. My brother has it and aged 13 has major difficulties in schools because of their lack of support for his condition.
He thakes Concerta. It works like magic I have to say xD
I'll be fighting with him...etc and after he takes his tablet, he's all hugs and smiles. A totally different person. I would strongly recommend it!
@Defor11dog TY for the post. I was showing how I felt about myself. I was negative due to 35 years of living with labels. It is key to mention that I would now not give my ADHD up for anything. I can better work with it and it is a real gift. I am now six years out living with knowledge of it and how to work with it. I remember being angry over nothing all the time and now its is like you say, calm and cool and improved. Like you brother experiences.
@Defor11dog I take concerta too, and while it helps in school, you have to realize maybe thats not what HE wants. ADHD isnt a bad thing, its a bonus. I have extra energy and the ability to think a thousand thoughts when most people can only process 1. I like it, look at it from a postive side too. thanks :)
Imagine if the medical science field could take you into someone's mind. You know show you what it looks like inside the thoughts? I as a non medical professional am doing just that with my latest ADHD video "My ADHD The Movie (WIP).
It is a work in progress now (wip), and by the time I done with this project you will be able to do something even more than my first video did If ONE single image is worth 1,000 words, then what is a full feature length movie with its million upon millions worth?
im 13 and i hav adhd i hav trouble speeking sometimes cant spell very well and no meds work but i learn to accept it even tho i fell the pain hav u accepted it?
However, you do have to consider the medical industry as is with all others has people in it willing to forgo the human being in the name of "greed", "popular vote", or any number of other things that can cause people to LABEL others.
I was in 3rd grade - LABEL by Dr's, Shrinks, and others in positions of mental health.
Severely Mentally Retarded, Unable to learn, Unwilling to learn, Learning Disabled, and anti social. More had been lused on me as well. Yes, those are my LABELS on me. Go figure
To everyone who has posted, thank you for the time you took. :)
I do not support and or deny that medicine may work for some. It is a case by case situation.
As for being nude thinking I was GOD.... Did that already. No really I did.
As for ADD/ADHD being something made up by our culture... How is it that chemical brain scans can show the difference between Bipolar, ADD, ADHD, Addictions, and other mental conditions? I find it impossible to think how I was raised effected my brain chemistry
Great video; useful for showing to the ignorant, eg employers & firends. 1 downfall tho:giving the credit to a God! Ironically people with ADHD tend to be too bright to belieive unevidenced man-made myths. But this raises the question: 'are we more, or less, susceptable to childhood indoctrination? Or is this more a cultural causality? eg blind faith culture in the US compared to UK with much more sceptical culture? Anyway, great to see in-roads into the ignorance around ADHD; thanks, MWB (UK)
*sigh* today I went back on my medication. I refused to believe that I had ADHD, even though I was formerly diagnosed at an early age... I guess the medication is good for me, I get stuff done, and get compliments on my work. It's so damn hard to focus on anything without it - except what really interests me (* which fluxuates *). Anyways, peace.
@lordmarcus1st WOOT! You party animal! Wait no bipolar. Dang it. I also haz that. Either way, TY ever so much for posting and sorry for me being so tardy on the post here.
Oh and don't confuse inspiration with productivity . In a world of cavemen if you discovered fire you'd be condemned on killed , not much as change now inspiration is considered heresy or daydreaming . it's common for society to judge one incompetent based on their rules.
I think that the reason we look for love or debauchery is because of we want goddom not to be like god but god him self . Think about it because of the gift only we can see that their's more to life then want , no matter what you have it gets old," then why want ", because you are god , blinded to help those less fortunate . Now don't misread in it , there's a difference between delusion and divinity , no one's saying to run the streets nude quoting the bible to the top of your lungs ," no ser
I've had ADHD for as long as I can remember which is from the age of about 6 on till now, and I'm 23. I just forgot what my point was, but I'm sure I had one. my earliest memory is of me waking up from a nap at about age 5 or 6. my last memory before that was when I was about 2 or 3. that's a pretty big memory gap. I also forget things about every 5 minutes. so I gotta remind myself again with a note or ask someone what happened.
@TheDescentJatt I have no clue, but their is also a family history of alzheimers in my family so I could be facing some very early stages of that too.
I think normal people are scared of us so they use Dr.s to medicate us away from each other , in fear that we might start a new Atlantis . Keeping us confused calling are random thoughts creativity ignoring are issues like it's all in are heads , don't get me wrong ADHD is a gift but more like uncontrollable telepathy in a world of jealous authorities . I didn't find out I had it until I turned 26 , I'm 33 and now I know I'm not alone . ^_^
@mickhawk911 uncontrollable telepathy ? yes i agree we r gifted.we r better than others.actually maybe we are normal and all those whom we call normal have disorder.they are in majority maybe thats why system is made to suit them more than us.
I am 23 and took Ritalin at a younger age and adderall in middle school and high school. Been off of it for about 4-5 years. Now i am on it again and adderall is truly a miracle drug. (I just had to Google the spelling of miracle, i mix up vowels). School and concentration comes easier. I'm also more organized and notice better social skills. Thanks for the vid man.
i dont let it get to me i used to not communicate at all with anyone before i started taking medication and started using my impusion into hobbies that become addictions but help regular life like working i have a high iq but i just cant do things i find boring if i have to do math il shut down but if you give me an equation in ballistics ill crack my skull and investigate it fucked up gift or condition it could be worse so enjoy life lads.
@hyper9braker I know exactly how that feels. I have a high IQ according to some doctors in Iowa city, Iowa. This didn't mean much to me in high school though because I just wasn't stimulated enough to actually focus on my classwork.
This is a general post to let people know that I do a live show M-F on BlogTV dot com as AbiliTV <--- Enter that into the search box. DO sign up free so you may partake in the chat. Sorry guests can't chat in my show, I am way to cheap to buy keyboards for the Guest (green) room.
I am on if I have a good day. 10 AM EST.
NOT EVERY form of ADD or ADHD is the same. Not all options to work with it require medicine. KNOWLEDGE is one of the best tools we have to work with it.
YOU HIT ON MINE TOTALLY. EVERYTHING YOU EXPERIENCE IS STUCK IN YOUR MIND FLOATING AROUND. WHAT IS THE BEST MED FOR THAT ONE? WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE MEDITATION? ANY ADVICE?
@Vegheadsrock Hey, I can't say what works for me as far as medicine goes will work the same way for you. I have only been placed on one ADHD medicine, and have read about 20 or more books written by people from Dr's who have ADD and ADHD, to people like you and me with it or with family members with it. its a combo approach for my particular ADHD, it might be for you also.
I take Stratarra (sp) and for me it seems to work pretty good. Talk to your Doctor(s) about your options. But read also.
@SpinergyDude dude. I used to take stratarra, but all it did was make me sick. It didn't really help me focus like the doctor said it was supposed to. I don't take any meds anymore partly because I can't afford them, and also because meds have never really worked for me. My main problem is that I can't concentrate on anything for too long, and I tend to forget things very frequently.
It's supposed to stimulate the parts of the brain that don't equal the other rampant parts. So it should help in calming down, focussing, and was originally used as a hunger suppressant (before it was found that it aids ADHD.) So yeah, ask about it. It doesn't fix you 100% of course, but it sure helps me out.
man it is very hard having this i suffer from a chronic case i cant talk to folks for my minds random racing and rambling i still have trouble everyday in the cofusion comes anger i thought i was alone
@nipigongirl1234 Hi, no worries as everyone doesn't have the same abilities as we are all different and this is actually a good thing. If I am correct, it may take certain things, I mean sounds, sights, and or smells that may trigger something from years ago that you suddenly recall that time. The mind is rather amazing in how it will store things that as time goes on are not as needed to be kept in recent memory.
All I can say is enjoy being 11. Your doing fine. :)
Spinergydude, I read all the quotes in your video and resumes MY life perfectly! I'm also 35 and I have ADHD, As a child I was an under achiever and never got along with others. I had an IQ test done at age 10 and scored 142 . The doctors told my parents that I was a smart kid but just too lazy.loll
I have been diagnosed only two years ago (thanks to my wife) . I now take VYVANSE and it has made a difference in my life. What a difference it has made to my life! Thank you for sharing.
@Spinergy Oh and I forgot that when the inbox gets too full (I think about too much) some messages are automaticly deleted. Usually important ones lol. Loved the vid description. Really sums up what it's like to have ADD.
@RitchietheGoth but why would say that, i mean, im 90% sure i have ADD, not diagnosed by a doctor but i can tell. well... i dont want to believe im just lazy, messy and just plain dumb lol... but i wonder just curious why would one be god by having ADD or ADHD or being a indigo like they call it.???
@RitchietheGoth oh wow i feel the way around, ive never felt admired not even by my father, for me sometimes is a curse and yeah sometimes i just want to take medicine and comply with everybody and everything else like the rest of the normal people.
The way I explain my mind to people is like a mobile phone. I say that I have a thousand messages (thoughts) rushing through at a time, and I just can't keep up with them. But no-one ever explains their mind to me, so I don't really understand how normal people work.
Great video! I was in tears watching this. I have ADD myself (ADHD when I was a kid). This thing really sucks sometimes and is really cool sometimes. Life has been a dash of heaven and a bucket load of hell. Yeah.
I had ADD so bad...I was diagnoised with it at age 4. I have the reading skills of a genius....but i SUCK at math...the only reason i am not in advanced classes is cuz...I can NOT do my class work good enough...cuz i have to ..idk...but this video is EXACTLY how i feel no one knew...and now I feel so much better after seeing this THANX! (I suck and spelling...on the spot...and I ramble...ALOT!) XD
@bellaluv4ever I love this POST! Bella you ROX! no issue on splelling here I mess it up all thetyme. Honestly since five years ago... I have STARTED TO LOVE WHO I AM ALSO. :) It's like being a kid at the best theme park ever. I LOVE IT!
Folks I do a LIVE ON LINE SHOW M-F on BlogTV on my less painful days, Starts wait NOW! LOL... 10 AM EST US check out what a ton of ADHD can do for one person's dream... Bella THANKX for the AWSEOME wait... Multiple POSTS! WOW!
@SpinergyDude lol thanx for doing this! cuz no one understands why i can never WAIT to say something...it is replacced by something else and then the process goes on...XD
I am living with ADD and the medication doesnt work...and i can only pay attention to thing that interest me....(not school) they say i have a very high iq...its just my mind thinks...TO FAST! BUT I LOVE MY ADD!
I too was never diagnosed. My hell-and-back hard fought battles that have brought me the success I enjoy today are the direct result of people in my childhood not believing in me, thinking of me as a failure, and assuming I refused to try. I guess nobody ever took the time to realize I really was giving my all AND a lot more for all those years. If only they understood ADHD better when I was a kid. And thank god for the creativity that comes with our plight, it saved my life.
@djdeiter WOW! Dude I had no idea I would impact people like this! You have no idea how wonderful it is to know that my video or efforts are reaching people. I do a LIVE show on BlogTV called AbiliTV M-F 10 AM on my good days... I am in pain also. But, visit if you can, of not keep up spinning the discs.
Scary is I was labeled somethings that left me wondering "what is wrong with me?" "Why can't I be like everyone else?" "Why can't I keep a job?" and so on. Not all people realize they have ADD or ADHD, and not all people can find one way to work with it. It is a brain chemistry thing, and it has been proven by medical science that a difference in people's brain chemistry is found. So someone with no issues shows one way. Someone with Bipolar another, and ADD or ADHD show up different also
so my parents and friends just think that I dont apply my self... are they right? When I take my 5mg adderral I feel happy onderful like i can conqour the world but I still am so afraid of failing now that I havent done anything with my life my thoughts and ideas change constantly what do I do how can I be happy agian????
@mrsInspiration2010 What I do is, I find One thing I love to do, and make a point to do that at least once a day. For me it is remixing music, attempting to produce my own webcasting show on BlogTV as AbiliTV, where I am live. It is normal sounding to me what you posted. But, check with your Doc(s) to make sure it not something more.
ADD and ADHD are different person to person, sometimes I am less ADHD, and more ADD. Read books written by people with ADD/ADHD get them at the library. :)
I loved your video.... But I have a question??? I just found out that I have add/adhd I did horrible in school, but if it interested me I was all about it and passed it with flying colors...
@coffeeandsugar20 - From 3rd grade on through high school medical Doctors, Teachers, and people whom are supposed to care... Labeled me as mentally retarded, unable to learn, a day dreamer, lazy, learning disabled because they did not or could not figure out I had ADHD. It was not fear so much like being afraid of something scary. Rather it was the "What is wrong with me" fear. It can be a life long issue if one doesn't learn to work with it. For me ADHD is worse as I age...
@SpinergyDude same here..I used to be in advanced classes...then one day i just broke down and my "thoughts dam" broke...so i will forever be a running river of thoughts...unlike "norms" who only have a pond. I LOVE ADD!
wow ! just so you know, the stuff at the start of the video, well, those random, rapid thoughts, that's what its like all day, every day, sometimes even on meds !
great to meet a fellow adhd genius. yes, we are unlike others. Most of us are gifted. I happen to be great with computers. Anyways, started reading the ny times at 3 yrs old + was reading 5th grade in 2nd grade and blazing my math. Started a computer company - (* however I never got anything done as I would start things such as building a computer game or software program then get bored of it and move on. *) anyways adhd is a gift like others have said. Embrace it.
lol chill dude. i have adhd too. its not the end of the world. just gota help urself and be independent. I think your problem was and still is the fact that you're waiting for some higher power to whisk you off into a utopia of happiness.. this is life man, shit happens, everyone is different. If you really do have ADHD and not something else which nobody knows because in the u.s they diagnose everyone with something then just use your creativity to help yourself and stop acting like a victim.
ty. i have a.d.d and it annoys people how i cant stay on topic for some reason. the least furthest i get from a subject is for example, i was talking about space, then i talk about planets and im called random, but of couse with my freinds i switch over from brad pitt to flying pancackes x3...but people also hate me because i never turn in my homework and i always forget things that arent important to me, it bugs me that people think they know how i think but they dont
I have just included one of my latest videos. A music video that really captures my ADHD in more of an artistic way. The video features electro-beats by my friend Deboniare1987 from YouTube here. I remixed that to one of his video's that I also remixed.
I never expected such a response to this video, I can't thank all of you enough for being kind enough to post a reply.
no! I'm kidding Im not leaving! I get like 150tpm some times that's more than 2per second! anywho...it's fun! I have a photographic memory! and almost all my memories are flashbulb memories(where you remember exactly what you were doing, where ect. when you remember something) I also see myself in my memories from outside my body. anyone get that?
ive watched a couple of syptoms videos and i have all of them and since i was already going doctors tommorrow im gonna ask them questions about it . i also act alot like my best friend who has adhd asp and aspergus so what u think . do u think i have it ?
I am 14 with ADHD and recently diagnosed with aspergus. this means i have all the symptoms of adhd aka lss of concentration alot of thoughts going through my head when i think of a random object and stuff. but then i have aspergus which mena si have trouble socially and have an extremely good memory and very very logical...14 and A* in math physics chemistry and many more subjects i excel in... so can you decide whether its gift or curse?
Very well said, I'm 53 and was just diagnosed ADHD this year because my ability to focus on my jobs was worsening. I was ADHD all my life from what my folks have told me and ADHD does not get better with age. I'm relieved to know that my 'odd' behaviors (easily distracted, racing thoughts, forgetfulness, etc.) are biochemical in nature and not because of bad mental habits or stupidity. Now that I know for sure what's going on, I can start to have some fun with it.
I am 43. I have ADHD with an ADHD son. I was the youngest of 5 in ADHD Family. I have comorbidities like ODD and OCD. This video depicts EXACTLY WHAT MY DAMN LIFE HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT. This person knows.
We do need drugs to control ourselves and be in line with status quo. Don't fool yourself. The science is extremely good, especially neuro-imaging. DSM V will soon reflect advances in ADHD science and technology. Yes, the question is if YOU in particular want or need this control.
Absolutely FANTASTIC. I am and adult ADHD - and buddy - you nailed it! I intend to share some things in an upcoming video that I hope will expand on this theme with greater specificity in some respects. ADHD is a mark of brilliance - some say Einstein was autistic - he was not. I'm convinced that Einstein was ADHD. We just PROCESS differently - it's not a 'disability' and we don't need drugs - just to be understood. Truth. Great video.
for those of you that will write bad comments here, this video is exactley what my 7 year old is going through. before treatment he would not sleep for 3-4 days at a time and his brain was going 400 miles an hour. he has adhd, oppositional defiant disorder, and obssesive compulsive disorder. today he is in the gifted glass because i got him the help he needed. my son has a thought journal he goes through 1 notebook a day! GOD BLESS THE KIDS WITH ADHD!! my son has taught me so much.
So, I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and trying to find a medication that can help stop my overload of thought diarea.
Yes, most of the stuff I think of is crap, and I have no way of stopping it other than focusing on other thoughts, sometimes resulting in even worse thoughts.
I have people telling me all the time that I'm the brightest person they have met so far, yet I'm 23, and still have no viable quallification to show for myself.
YOU ARE BRILLIANT - Right! No, the stuff you think isn't necessarily crap - see my video coming soon - the stuff just SEEMS like crap at first - UNTIL you connect all the dots, you see?
@boaz1144 Can I ask do you use L5 HTP & LTyrosine? I stopped the amphetamine based meds a while back and wondered what you had used instead? I totally agree with what you and ulder0 say. However to the OP I struggled to the point of despiar until being diagnosed as an adult at 41. When I had the answer I gained the acceptance. I now embrace my ADHD as a wonderful gift towards my personality x
@boaz1144 are homeopathic medicines good for ADHD ? do they show immediate effects after taking the medicines like in allopathic ones ? will they help me concentrate and focus more ? even if i dont have ADHD ? i m a bit unsure if i have it or not,there is no sure shot diagnosis in India not at my place atleast.
Dude, ADHD isn't a disability, it's a gift, we are metally stronger than any other human being on earth and when inspired and focused for a short time we can do things 100x better than any one else, just cus we can't do somethings. I would rather have ADHD than not have it. (and dr's don't know shit, unless they have ADHD to.
@ulder0 : yeah i feel the same and i dont have what to do i mean i feel like a retarded isolated mothafucka, feeling and caring for what other would not..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is the fucking dumbest hinder video ever i want to fucking punch this guy in the jugular cause its that stupid like who the fuck is THE BIG GUY fucking dumb douche bag....pickle
are you kidding i have had adhd all my life and right now im 20, like omg i have at most like 5 friends because almost no one even understands me, when i was watching this video i went for thinging about pizza to china to my dog to bf to i wonder what 3994 X 5677 is.....yeah my life is actually 400X worse than this video
this video is an eye opener for people who think adhd isnt really a diesease. i have had adhd since the 4 grade now i am in 11th grade .i have major trust issues and go though life in a daze. since trusting people is so hard for me to do i insulate myself from the world also. i recentaly tried smoking mary-j for the first time and it helps me relax and helps me focus on the stuff i want to know or hear and its natural so ya for me. right?
i have had adhd since first grade and i can't believe how differently people treat me because i couldn't sit still for more than 30 seconds. in first grade i was always getting up and sharpening my pencil or doing something else. i had so much energy. it was just so hard to control myself.
Great Video!! Love it!! The UK needs better NHS services for people with ADHD so please sign the petition on 10 Downing Street site. Sorry can't put a link here so do a Google search for "aadd uk petition" to find it . Thanks for your help!!
im 17 years old and i have had ADD/HD since 2nd grade. im glad i found this because it will help describe to my teachers why i have difficulty in school. i hope to show this to all me teachers too. thank you deeply.
thank you for sharing with me more about your adhd i am trying to learn all i can about this. i have a 4 yr old that finally got the answer i have been looking for. for him by this theapsist and have been trying to find out a pt of view from someone that has it so i can better understand my sons behaviors etc.

It's amazing , she told me where we were in Toronto when she was 2 1/2 when she had been there only once before. The bus was crowded and I could barely look out the windows. She has not had a diagnosis ...... but yah anyways.... i like your video

Feeling different, is not easy until you learn the truth about who you are. Pick your battles. If I was missing a leg you can see my disability and know but when it's in your head no one understands, or believes , I'm very bright at things I like but just inattentive to things that are not my interests . ADHD and bipolar is my life and manny others out there . Speak out and help each others is what we need to do. Not hide and pretend to be something your not. Don't insult your creator, but hel

@SpinergyDude I wish that were true, however, we live in a society that is based on NOT helping each other and instead pulling each other's eyes out. Instead of bringing peace and helping each other, people are at each other's throats. you see that clearly happening around you every sinlge day, let's not deny it. It is so sad how petty and small people areand hoe they think they can actually win by controlling others. When will that change? Soon?

Very good video! Thanks for posting and increasing awareness of this. It is a blessing of a disorder. Hopefully everyone will get this in this matrix we now live in. From an evolutionary standpoint, we are here due to the fact that our ancestors with ADD were more atune to their surroundings and ran from the danger, while others perished being too focused. Also, great inventions came from those with ADD.

I don't know if you meant to do this, but the music is... comforting. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense. I *have* visually watched the entire video a few times. I can catch most of what you are saying. The music does not distract me from text as I register it with a different mental thread. The text is fast, but so is my mind. :) I call this "scatter vision". Retention, 5 minutes and it is all gone. Anyway - a fantastic video. ~ No back to the damn dishes. Distraction! :)

@rc5retro actually for me I used the music that seemed to best fit the mood of the moment. And, for me also it is calming more than anything. it allowed me to focus more on the making of the video actually. My live show has a ton of music played on it, and it helps. Good luck on those dishes. LOL And, thanks for the awesome post. :)

Your video does give a clear insight into one's mind although you seem to be very very negative...ADHD is actually very common. My brother has it and aged 13 has major difficulties in schools because of their lack of support for his condition.
He thakes Concerta. It works like magic I have to say xD
I'll be fighting with him...etc and after he takes his tablet, he's all hugs and smiles. A totally different person. I would strongly recommend it!

@Defor11dog TY for the post. I was showing how I felt about myself. I was negative due to 35 years of living with labels. It is key to mention that I would now not give my ADHD up for anything. I can better work with it and it is a real gift. I am now six years out living with knowledge of it and how to work with it. I remember being angry over nothing all the time and now its is like you say, calm and cool and improved. Like you brother experiences.
ADHD is now seen as more common.

However, you do have to consider the medical industry as is with all others has people in it willing to forgo the human being in the name of "greed", "popular vote", or any number of other things that can cause people to LABEL others.
I was in 3rd grade - LABEL by Dr's, Shrinks, and others in positions of mental health.
Severely Mentally Retarded, Unable to learn, Unwilling to learn, Learning Disabled, and anti social. More had been lused on me as well. Yes, those are my LABELS on me. Go figure

As for being nude thinking I was GOD.... Did that already. No really I did.
As for ADD/ADHD being something made up by our culture... How is it that chemical brain scans can show the difference between Bipolar, ADD, ADHD, Addictions, and other mental conditions? I find it impossible to think how I was raised effected my brain chemistry

Great video; useful for showing to the ignorant, eg employers & firends. 1 downfall tho:giving the credit to a God! Ironically people with ADHD tend to be too bright to belieive unevidenced man-made myths. But this raises the question: 'are we more, or less, susceptable to childhood indoctrination? Or is this more a cultural causality? eg blind faith culture in the US compared to UK with much more sceptical culture? Anyway, great to see in-roads into the ignorance around ADHD; thanks, MWB (UK)

pcvsk8 1 year ago
I've had ADHD for as long as I can remember which is from the age of about 6 on till now, and I'm 23. I just forgot what my point was, but I'm sure I had one. my earliest memory is of me waking up from a nap at about age 5 or 6. my last memory before that was when I was about 2 or 3. that's a pretty big memory gap. I also forget things about every 5 minutes. so I gotta remind myself again with a note or ask someone what happened.

I am 23 and took Ritalin at a younger age and adderall in middle school and high school. Been off of it for about 4-5 years. Now i am on it again and adderall is truly a miracle drug. (I just had to Google the spelling of miracle, i mix up vowels). School and concentration comes easier. I'm also more organized and notice better social skills. Thanks for the vid man.

Vegheadsrock 1 year ago
@Vegheadsrock Hey, I can't say what works for me as far as medicine goes will work the same way for you. I have only been placed on one ADHD medicine, and have read about 20 or more books written by people from Dr's who have ADD and ADHD, to people like you and me with it or with family members with it. its a combo approach for my particular ADHD, it might be for you also.
I take Stratarra (sp) and for me it seems to work pretty good. Talk to your Doctor(s) about your options. But read also.
SpinergyDude 1 year ago
@SpinergyDude dude. I used to take stratarra, but all it did was make me sick. It didn't really help me focus like the doctor said it was supposed to. I don't take any meds anymore partly because I can't afford them, and also because meds have never really worked for me. My main problem is that I can't concentrate on anything for too long, and I tend to forget things very frequently.
donnywhales656 1 year ago
@donnywhales656 same problem,but i m not taking any meds.anything that is working for you other than that ?

@TheDescentJatt your best bet would be to ask a doctor about the medications they have for ADHD or any other options that might be available.
donnywhales656 1 year ago
@Vegheadsrock
I take Ritalin. Ask your doc about it.
It's supposed to stimulate the parts of the brain that don't equal the other rampant parts. So it should help in calming down, focussing, and was originally used as a hunger suppressant (before it was found that it aids ADHD.) So yeah, ask about it. It doesn't fix you 100% of course, but it sure helps me out.

I had an IQ test done at age 10 and scored 142 . The doctors told my parents that I was a smart kid but just too lazy.loll
I have been diagnosed only two years ago (thanks to my wife) . I now take VYVANSE and it has made a difference in my life. What a difference it has made to my life! Thank you for sharing.

I too was never diagnosed. My hell-and-back hard fought battles that have brought me the success I enjoy today are the direct result of people in my childhood not believing in me, thinking of me as a failure, and assuming I refused to try. I guess nobody ever took the time to realize I really was giving my all AND a lot more for all those years. If only they understood ADHD better when I was a kid. And thank god for the creativity that comes with our plight, it saved my life.

Scary is I was labeled somethings that left me wondering "what is wrong with me?" "Why can't I be like everyone else?" "Why can't I keep a job?" and so on. Not all people realize they have ADD or ADHD, and not all people can find one way to work with it. It is a brain chemistry thing, and it has been proven by medical science that a difference in people's brain chemistry is found. So someone with no issues shows one way. Someone with Bipolar another, and ADD or ADHD show up different also

@coffeeandsugar20 - From 3rd grade on through high school medical Doctors, Teachers, and people whom are supposed to care... Labeled me as mentally retarded, unable to learn, a day dreamer, lazy, learning disabled because they did not or could not figure out I had ADHD. It was not fear so much like being afraid of something scary. Rather it was the "What is wrong with me" fear. It can be a life long issue if one doesn't learn to work with it. For me ADHD is worse as I age...

lol chill dude. i have adhd too. its not the end of the world. just gota help urself and be independent. I think your problem was and still is the fact that you're waiting for some higher power to whisk you off into a utopia of happiness.. this is life man, shit happens, everyone is different. If you really do have ADHD and not something else which nobody knows because in the u.s they diagnose everyone with something then just use your creativity to help yourself and stop acting like a victim.

ty. i have a.d.d and it annoys people how i cant stay on topic for some reason. the least furthest i get from a subject is for example, i was talking about space, then i talk about planets and im called random, but of couse with my freinds i switch over from brad pitt to flying pancackes x3...but people also hate me because i never turn in my homework and i always forget things that arent important to me, it bugs me that people think they know how i think but they dont

I have just included one of my latest videos. A music video that really captures my ADHD in more of an artistic way. The video features electro-beats by my friend Deboniare1987 from YouTube here. I remixed that to one of his video's that I also remixed.
I never expected such a response to this video, I can't thank all of you enough for being kind enough to post a reply.
Thank you all for your posts. :)

hi, I was diagnosed in grade 3! Goodbye
no! I'm kidding Im not leaving! I get like 150tpm some times that's more than 2per second! anywho...it's fun! I have a photographic memory! and almost all my memories are flashbulb memories(where you remember exactly what you were doing, where ect. when you remember something) I also see myself in my memories from outside my body. anyone get that?

Very well said, I'm 53 and was just diagnosed ADHD this year because my ability to focus on my jobs was worsening. I was ADHD all my life from what my folks have told me and ADHD does not get better with age. I'm relieved to know that my 'odd' behaviors (easily distracted, racing thoughts, forgetfulness, etc.) are biochemical in nature and not because of bad mental habits or stupidity. Now that I know for sure what's going on, I can start to have some fun with it.

I am 43. I have ADHD with an ADHD son. I was the youngest of 5 in ADHD Family. I have comorbidities like ODD and OCD. This video depicts EXACTLY WHAT MY DAMN LIFE HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT. This person knows.
We do need drugs to control ourselves and be in line with status quo. Don't fool yourself. The science is extremely good, especially neuro-imaging. DSM V will soon reflect advances in ADHD science and technology. Yes, the question is if YOU in particular want or need this control.

Absolutely FANTASTIC. I am and adult ADHD - and buddy - you nailed it! I intend to share some things in an upcoming video that I hope will expand on this theme with greater specificity in some respects. ADHD is a mark of brilliance - some say Einstein was autistic - he was not. I'm convinced that Einstein was ADHD. We just PROCESS differently - it's not a 'disability' and we don't need drugs - just to be understood. Truth. Great video.

for those of you that will write bad comments here, this video is exactley what my 7 year old is going through. before treatment he would not sleep for 3-4 days at a time and his brain was going 400 miles an hour. he has adhd, oppositional defiant disorder, and obssesive compulsive disorder. today he is in the gifted glass because i got him the help he needed. my son has a thought journal he goes through 1 notebook a day! GOD BLESS THE KIDS WITH ADHD!! my son has taught me so much.

So, I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and trying to find a medication that can help stop my overload of thought diarea.
Yes, most of the stuff I think of is crap, and I have no way of stopping it other than focusing on other thoughts, sometimes resulting in even worse thoughts.
I have people telling me all the time that I'm the brightest person they have met so far, yet I'm 23, and still have no viable quallification to show for myself.
Sucks to be a minority in a disfunctional system.

ADHD is NOT a mental disorder. It's a heightened perception of awareness. We don't fit into the system because the system sucks.
Homeopathic medicine can help you focus which will unleash intelligence beyond your belief. I'm 41 and living proof!

@boaz1144 Can I ask do you use L5 HTP & LTyrosine? I stopped the amphetamine based meds a while back and wondered what you had used instead? I totally agree with what you and ulder0 say. However to the OP I struggled to the point of despiar until being diagnosed as an adult at 41. When I had the answer I gained the acceptance. I now embrace my ADHD as a wonderful gift towards my personality x

Dude, ADHD isn't a disability, it's a gift, we are metally stronger than any other human being on earth and when inspired and focused for a short time we can do things 100x better than any one else, just cus we can't do somethings. I would rather have ADHD than not have it. (and dr's don't know shit, unless they have ADHD to.

EXACTLY RIGHT! People with ADHD are finally figuring this out!
ScottishProfessor 2 years ago

this video is an eye opener for people who think adhd isnt really a diesease. i have had adhd since the 4 grade now i am in 11th grade .i have major trust issues and go though life in a daze. since trusting people is so hard for me to do i insulate myself from the world also. i recentaly tried smoking mary-j for the first time and it helps me relax and helps me focus on the stuff i want to know or hear and its natural so ya for me. right?

i have had adhd since first grade and i can't believe how differently people treat me because i couldn't sit still for more than 30 seconds. in first grade i was always getting up and sharpening my pencil or doing something else. i had so much energy. it was just so hard to control myself.

Try meds. If you don't like them you stop. It's all up to you and what kind of ADHD you have. It's your choice =)
