I actually pretty recently told my mom I wanted to take an ADHD test because I kept relating a lot to stuff claimed as ADHD, like stuff stated in this video. Then she told me that I already took one years ago and was officially diagnosed with it and I had just…..forgotten that.

As a fellow inattentive ADHDer I felt so represented by the walking in circles talking to yourself thing.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also 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. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Them: “Stay still for 30 minutes” Me: “But I can fidget right?”

My sister has ADHD. Media SUCKS at depicting ADHD. It’s not just one thing. It’s so stupid seeing ADHD treated like it’s a singular thing and that there’s not so many different ways that people with it handle things. I’ll have to show this video to her. Awesome job, Andy!

As a person with ADHD, if I can get one thing done in a day, that is an accomplishment in of itself.

Walking in circles talking to myself is literally a daily activity. I too have ADHD and if I'm alone I NEED to do it occasionally.

wait- walking in circles is a sign of adhd, leaving things to the last minute, forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing, forgetting whether or not I have locked doors..................... Oh crap

I didn't get diagnosed until my mid 50's because ADHD wasn't a thing you could get diagnosed with when I was a kid. Every report card I got throughout elementary school commented about my absent mindedness and my daydreaming in class. Once I got into middle school it was all about my forgetfulness, tardiness, and how I wasn't living up to my potential. I grew up hearing how lazy and undisciplined I was and had no idea that my issues weren't character flaws. I'm so glad young people at least don't have to go through that particular brand of bullshit anymore.

I’m currently under the process of being diagnosed for ADHD. Coming from hispanic parents, I’ve always been told that i tend to be lazy or too scared to do things when in reality my brain just doesn’t cooperate with me unless it’s super urgent or art related. It’s funny that I intended to watch this video moments after it got posted but i immediately forgot and put it off for later x)

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and this was the first person talking about their ADHD that I could relate to. I wasn't finding myself relating to other people's experiences, and I was afraid that I was misdiagnosed, or that I was faking it without even knowing. this video gave me so much relief seeing someone else go through basically the exact same thing as me. for anyone wondering, I tried Adderall and it worked while I was in school but I'm graduated now and it didn't help with anything, so now I'm just kinda here

As a fellow inattentive adhd person, it took me 20 minutes to watch the entire video bc I got distracted

As someone with ADHD, the walking around in circles and talking to myself is the most relatable thing I have heard about ADHD

Although I was technically diagnosed with adhd at the age of 8 or 9, I somehow just forgot my mom telling me about it so I proceeded to go 7-8 years questioning why the hell my 30 min hw assignments took me 5 hours to do and why I would get excited to pull up songs I like, only to immediately forget the name of it as I was typing it into the search bar. It was only during an annual where my doctor just off handly mentioned that "oh yeah hormones and the adhd are what's probably causing the mood changes" to which I'm just sitting there like, "....I have adhd?" and my mother just looks at me like I'm the dumbest mf on the planet. She insists she told me repeatedly, on both the day I was diagnosed and multiple times after my therapy sessions, but all I remember from that early on was playing with blue sand with my therapist and organizing the plushies on her shelf. Thank you for coming to my TEDTALK.

Walking in circles instinctively and not even realizing you’re doing it is my biggest give away because I do it every single day

I found i had adhd when i was in college and did snow. Felt completely 'normal' for the first time ever. Went to a doctor a few weeks later. I got diagnosed and got meds. And now i can function for the first time in my life.

I think the "walking in circles talking out loud" thing is partially based on the fact that it makes it easier to reflect on issues and form more coherent strings of thought than if you were to do it just in your mind where things quickly get muddled and confusing. At least that's what it's like for me, even though I don't think I have ADHD. I like talking out loud to myself about things a lot because it's just easier to stay on topic.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was very little and I just want to say two things: 1. I’ve literally never watched a YouTube video that I’ve related to so much in this aspect. Like holy crap, I do that walking in circles and talking to myself thing like daily. It’s weird, but I’m so surprised that I’m not the only one how does that. Wow. 2. To whoever might read this, You never have to let ADHD define you. You may act and think different than others, but you’re still a human person and you’re still you. You never should allow a diagnosis negatively affect way you feel about yourself. Stand tall, kings. Also, drink some water.

I didn’t get diagnosed with adhd until I was almost 40. It took treating so many other diagnoses because mental health is messy and often trial and error. It fucking sucks. But once we got it right so much changed for the better.
