A Day in the Life with ADHD

Published 2016-11-10
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

    "If you can focus on art you can focus right now." no, i actually can't, Lauren.

    Girl: Is literally talking on the phone in class Teacher: That tall kid saying nothing is getting on my nerves
  • @kluckva
    this looping phrase is illegally relatable its almost creepy how accurate it is and also the "i'm trying" "no, you're not!" is stuck with me for years by this time this film is a masterpiece
  • @viteek20cz95
    Worst thing about ADHD is not only the less concentration and focus, but the fact, that you sometimes don't even notice it, but the others do and scold you for it. As someone who has ADHD I almost cried during this video.
  • @imemmabaldwin
    The second I realize that I’m actually focusing I can’t focus anymore
  • anyone else forget that the mom asked him to get milk edit: can we all just take a moment here to realise that the video is 6 mins long.... ..it took us 6 mins to forget about one piece of information.. do with that what you will.

    It's such a hell way to live. You're always falling behind even though you're always working harder than anyone else JUST to function.
  • @S2-hz3tv
    As a girl with ADHD, this is the most accurate video I've ever seen about it. The """""teleporting""""", the looping and the sounds repeating before going to sleep is so real. I swear, if anyone asks me how it feels to have to deal with ADHD for a literal lifetime, I'll show them this video.

    "You dont have ADHD your just lazy" "ADHD isnt an excuse" thats what i hear from people....

    Telling someone with adhd to "just focus" is like telling a blind person to "just see" like it doesnt work-
  • @Ghosstedd
    My mom has ADHD too so she understands how hard it is for me to focus so I've never heard her say "stop fidgeting" or "just focus" or any of that. I genuinely love my mom and will continuously do so with the biggest smile in a while and hope it stays that way.
  • @canigohome2896
    I’m so glad they included the way moments we see/ sentences we hear get repeated for seemingly no reason. Like how he saw the red car pass by then the clip kept replaying and when the teacher said “if you can focus” it just kept replaying over what the teacher was actually saying at the time

    disclaimer: ADHD does not make your hooping skills dirt nasty
  • @JadeSylvinaVA
    The whole “I’m trying” and “you’re not” part made me cry because this is how my parents are with me. I just wish they’d be patient with me, give me a break, and stop getting angry at me for the way I am. 😢
  • I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder 18 years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
  • the irony of adhd is barely being able to watch this video because your mind already needs to do something else
  • @alix_xd1667
    “Just listen” “Your not trying” “Foucus” “Remember” Yea nice try, it’s not that easy.
  • @steceymorgan814
    Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

    I hate when people say “try” and I say “I am” and they say “no you’re not” LIKE LINDA HOW TF DO YOU KNOW
