Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression. The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.
I just want to say that this is one of the absolute best podcasts you've ever done. I may add to "the solutions" for improving the psychological comorbidities, improving one's self esteem has a revolutionary impact on one's personality and quality of life. With a rising self esteem even anxiety starts to shrink a great deal which is a wonderful feeling. Bottom line, guys do therapy, meds are great and all but find a good therapist that cares about you and stay in therapy as long as you can, potentially for the rest of your life if possible
42 here. ADHD exhaustion has become significantly more draining as I’ve gotten older. It feels like I’m a small plane flying in a thunderstorm that’s getting worse every day.
Absolutely. I just can’t do the night shifts anymore and despite the stakes having gotten higher and shame more intense, the fear of shame does it less and less as a motivator.
I like what he said about organizing the environment and all the tools that can help. The strange thing about realizing I have ADHD in my late 30s is seeing that I’ve instinctively organized my environment to be ADHD-friendly. Everything visible, easy organization tools, things at the place of action (like garbage bags next to the bin, not in the pantry! Etc). Since realizing about ADHD, I’ve been encouraged to continue and expand my efforts to create an ADHD-friendly living space. It’s very helpful to be aware. Also, instead of ignoring my overwhelm, I started to take breaks, turn down the noise and lights to reduce stimulation… this really helps me recharge. It’s so relieving to recognize what’s going on and actually do things that help. And lastly, we should be kind to ourselves. Everything that sounds great doesn’t always work and isn’t always sustainable.
I’ve never commented on a video but there’s a first time for everything. I cannot explain how meaningful your podcast has been for me. Diagnosed as an adult only a few years ago but have avoided any positive action to better understand myself, my actions, my inactions, and so on. Listening to so many of these episodes has been the greatest comfort and catalyst of my life, to really start to understand who I am and why I am. It’s been a revelation for me and has changed me so much in a short period of time. So, I thank you for all of your efforts in bringing this into the lives of so many that likely needed it.
The knowledge you all provide is just invaluable….as a 57 year old woman 99.9% sure I have ADHD I am so grateful. The hacks have changed my life and things are slowly getting better and brighter ❤️
I love this podcast sooo much! I have 14222 unread emails, 5 domains and 9 email addresses! I identify with all of the content on this podcast so much! Thank you for making it!

This discussion is streets ahead of any other I've heard about ADHD. Outstandingly good. Thanks Alex Partridge for putting the time and effort in. It means a LOT
The problem with trying to listen without a trying to formulate your response is that we forget what the other person said. There's so much other sensory input when having a verbal conversation that it's really hard to just listen. I have found mindfulness has helped me immensely in improving my listening skills and also using observational skills to remain engaged in active listening.
I related to soooo many things said here! I realized in my 40s I have ADHD ( now in 50s). I have allergies and now lactose intolerant, I had childhood trauma (parent dying), I fainted in college after a hot shower (and still may need to lie down after hot showers), I’ve said for years that my circadian rhythm seems to be more than 24 hours so stay up progressively later until I get tired enough to reset. Tip for point of use: I bought a key chain years ago that’s a twisty bracelet that I could hang on the doorknob as I get home and then around my wrist when I leave.
Hilarious idea of Maria in the Sound of Music being adhd. Here are the lyrics to the song the nuns sing about her (for those who didn’t memorize it in childhood 🤓).

I couldn't wait until that movie came on t.v. every year. We had the album that I played all the time and some songs would bring me to tears yet I definitely related to Maria (and my name is Tia Maria) and I wondered why the nuns had a problem with her. 🤷♀️. Thank you for sharing!
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with ADHD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
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 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Such an interesting conversation. I was very lucky at college because they did lots of mini tests most weeks which was really helpful. When I went to uni it was more self directed and I started falling apart then, struggled to meet deadlines ect. I had to work like a dog (always last minute 🤦🏼♀️😭). Blimey I take proplus for breakfast to try and kickstart myself! I struggle to sustain a job since menopause because I now also have health issues, it's so overwhelming.
undiagnosed but in my late 40s a few of my friends from university have had adult diagnosis of adhd, i think we were all drawn to each other and might explain why those years were so chaotic. i was successful in getting the degree, but a lot of time and effort especially in things i wasn't good at... my parents helped me through so much, didn't succeed at getting my foot in the door of the field i had my degree in and felt so much shame
Thank you Alex and Dr Kustow - I needed to hear this! I was clinically diagnosed in February this year, 2 weeks after my 50th Birthday. Very quick to offer meds - I've tried x4 different lots which have either made me physically ill, my symptoms worse or haven't had enough of an impact to justify being on them. This book sounds like it could be the kind of 'medicine' that will work for me! Thank you Dr Kustow! Alex - Thank you for being a safe space and for helping me understand what has potentially caused of my 'inner volcano' to erupt and overflow over the years!
all my life i get this dizziness when i stand up. doesn't always happen, but when it does, sometimes i just fall back to bed for 10 more seconds, wait for the 'wave' to pass and then get up again. only once this got so bad, that when i got up from a sofa after watching a movie for 2 hours, i got so dizzy that i sort of collapsed and hit my head against the front wall of the sofa. that was in 2014, an injury to my trapezius (went into shock to protect the spine) that never fully healed. anyway, i didn't know this condition was also linked with ADHD.
I was trying to explain RSD to my mom since I’m seeking an ADHD diagnosis at 38, and it was tremendously difficult. It was so hard to explain it without making my mom feel like she did something wrong by not getting me diagnosed when I was a child.
Oh my goodness ~this is such a useful interview.... my night owlishness is something I have tried to change, but I find almost impossible.... 2 is the earliest I can go to sleep.... always has been, and even though I can choose when I wake/sleep, because I live in total isolation on a farm, it would make a whole lot more sense to be awake early and get work done, but I seem to find it impossible, even if I get myself into bed earlier, I just can't get to sleep until after 2... often I even see the sun begin to wake up before I can sleep. And I have trouble with the heat of the day... I wake up and scan everywhere for snakes, threats, issues until later int he afternoon, and only then can I get outside to do the work I need to get done. My days are very short.... my nights are long and I luxuriate after dark, in the ability to relax. Often in a bath that can last for many hours.... and i have felt like a bit of a lunatic...and I totally have the clothes mountain!I feel somewhat more like a 'normal' person now, as I am obviously not the only one!
Soooo gooood!!! I’ll be buying this book and truly doing my best to actually read it. 😂 emotional regulation is exactly what I’m praying I gain some knowledge and control in. Thank you for this!!
I like these videos, but the clickbaity intro is really off-putting. No need for it, we are already here, we already want to listen to you and your interviewees. Please treat us like we are intelligent watchers.
@@RenegadeContext No, that's really, really not true. I'm following loads of channels and podcasts and none of them does that. No need to normalise it. It's not necessary.
@jazy3091 well the ones I follow, and would follow without the clickbait do it and that was the reason they gave. They said when they don't use dramatic or click baity titles their views go down dramatically.
@@RenegadeContext The most engaging trick is rage-bait. It doesn't mean I want a podcast that I respect to do it to get more traction. And frankly, it's off-putting and I start judging the author's reason for making these podcasts.
Agreed. Every once in a while it brings up the “you can’t tell me what to do” streak and I just stop the video because the intention of the intro is so blatant. 😂
Thank you so much to both of you! Probably the best & most informative video I've watched about ADHD. I'll be sharing this & getting the book :-) I can relate so much, having only just realized in my late 50's now & so glad of the insights. I really laughed at the end with the clothes mountain & molehills...so me!! Thank you for the honesty & inspiration, absolutely priceless.
@@adhdvibesyt I'm not male. The dynamic is very different. Women do stuff like remember birthdays and Keep the social circle alive. If you're a woman and can't do that because of your ADHD you can't keep relationships going cos most men don't do that stuff and someone needs to
I was diagnosed 30 years ago and I live with it so this is what I tell the girls In my book - Your Body is a Gift .. That it stands for Attention Deluxe -Highly Divine. 🤗🦋I give them a simple listen, breathe allow meditation technique, which slows the mind down as you identify what you’re hearing.
I hate all these questionnaires for a add. Give me an actual test so I can show people how difficult dealing with this is. Actual exam. Actual tests that I will fail at that normal people have no problem. Measure my emotional dysregulation in my frustration in answering a question at that actual moment, my confusion in not being able to remember a question I was just asked 2 minutes ago on the exam, why can't they do something like this? Give me something so I can show people that I have severe difficulties in everyday things. I exist in a 5-minute window. Anything that happens in the future or a couple minutes behind and trying to find something is gone. I live in a "50 1st dates' every day of my life since kindergarten when it was brought to my attention. 58 years of this than I am so exhausted and not where I should be
"I exist in a 5-minute window"...I think I might have struck youtube comment gold with this. Living the adhd life is sheer madness. Trying to describe that madness to NT is nearly impossible and drives me into further madness. I'm sorry you share in this pain too. Thank you for your comment. Be well
"The person with ADHD should change their lifestyle before diagnosis and medication. I understand they just can't do it. But you know with a little bit of effort". Contradicting as usual. If we just can't do it, we will not do it. Strategies to make things easier for ourselves and tending to our emotional and sensory needs are possibly more effective because it's what we might not know how to do. But doing things we can't do is just impossible and frustrating, which will only make us more stressed. "Be your beautiful self." Not like that
I think you're taking it to be more literal than it is. You could interpret what he's saying as it feels impossible "I know they just can't do it" is the recognition of the feeling we get when confronted with things like these. Approaching it as something to be tackled slowly in bits will make it possible. Not everything everyone says is literal, people trip over their words all the time and don't say exactly what they mean. When it comes to NTs you have to read between the lines
@RenegadeContext He's not neurotypical. He said he's got ADHD. I don't think I took it too literally. It's more that I'm sick of NT's useless advice for ND's or ND's advice to try to be more NT. It very rarely works
I think the reasoning being offered here is that it's easy to say that lifestyle change should be the ideal option but he is acknowledging at the same time that it is not that simple, for the obvious fact that nobody can just change a lifestyle in one move overnight, let alone someone who struggles with NT challenges. The followup about "a little bit of effort" is to open the idea of incremental strategies that could/can be useful to guide one toward an overall lifestyle shift, and again that an awareness that one must learn and understand these strategic options are first required and then adopt them as self actioned behaviors. It's not them offering a resolution followed by the conflict... it's mire that they are pointing out an ideal solution, followed by them highlighting the conflicts that make this such a seemingly impossible task.
90 seconds was too long, while you were saying it I already though I should check that next YT video which was about cptsd. That's my life. I'm 40+ and trying to be a student this year so imagine me having 6 classes in the row. One of my tutors has similar condition and habit to call my name 10 times during lecture to get my focus back 😅but it's extremelly exhausting and after 2 hours I'm depleted from all the attention I had for that day. I am thinking to give up. But when I'm back at home and there is 15 things to be done (involving movement) I am like new duracell battery. .
@42:10 Please pursue this idea. I have long wondered about the link/correlation/comorbidity of trauma and ADD. I recently saw another video on CPTSD making the same (or reverse) reference to ADD. How does one differentiate childhood CPTSD from ADD? Which comes first, treating CPTSD or ADD?
A minute in Alex says wonder how many are sitting there nodding their heads at what you are saying .. me like a 'nodding dog' in a very fast jiggly car
Is there anyone else here that slipped into cocaine addiction unconsciously attaching it as a stimulant which brings temporary relief from a racing head and then ended up with addiction problems on top of the adhd you already have ? Im 40 years old and have adhd and addiction issues and I'm becoming more and more unwell and i can't find a way out
Is it a given that hyperfocus is not okay for those with ADHD? Could it be okay and just not really okay for the majority of society who don't have ADHD? I just find that that's when I do my best is when I'm hyper focused and getting things done in an incredible short period of time that people without ADHD can't fathom. If that could be purposefully utilized somehow couldn't it be beneficial?
Guys, making a video for someone with adhd, which promotes 5 hacks in over 1 hour... who watches that/ is able to watch that ?! 😅 way too long for me. ❤
I know you have to keep the lights on and all, but there's something quite dystopian about having mid-sentence ad interruptions every 10 minutes on a video for people with ADHD. Its so darkly ironic, I feel like a Black Mirror character trying to watch this. I've lost my place and had to re-watch large chunks a few times. You could at least place the ads at sensible breaks in the conversation.
Just get a sub and never watch ads again, which sounds like something you’d benefit from. Also, there is literally nothing dystopian about ads. Dystopian refers to fictional societies or places with negative features, often based in an imagined future.
Aggression in a man, caused by ADHD or not, is a big no 🚫 in a relationship. Showing aggression to a women is unacceptable in and of itself. If you can't control yourself, you are not suitable for a relationship.
A man can show aggression without being written off for a relationship. It is not the same as violence. My hubby shouts sometimes, because like me he is a human. He would never raise his hand to me though, the only reason that could ever provoke that guant teddy bear to violence is a threat to me or our child. Men experience emotions too, like women its all about self control. I get aggressive sometimes, but I dont raise my hand to him or our child either because even though my hands may not be as dangerous, it is every bit as wrong.
@@GardenRose7282 aggression is a strong predictor for violence. You may accept this behaviour for yourself, but screaming is detrimental to any relationship. Be well.
@@GardenRose7282 that wouldn't be for me tbh. Experiencing emotions doesn't mean that you direct aggression at a partner. Men can be angry without being ''aggressive''.
Just pay 12 quid a month and get UA-cam premium.... I couldn't bare the adds no longer so I just pay 12 quid a month which is £3 a week.... It's not even 60p a day to never have to watch another add.... Best decision I've made in a long time as the adds were driving me nuts for years
I think the ADHD "experts" and ASD "experts" need to shut up, sit down, and actually talk to each other. I've been obsessed with learning about ASD the past couple months. Now I'm watching ADHD videos, and they're saying the exact same things!!! How about we just call it all one thing and stop trying to segment something that doesn't need to be.
ADHD is not failing to pay attention. It is paying attention to EVERYTHING all the time.

Hilarious idea of Maria in the Sound of Music being adhd. Here are the lyrics to the song the nuns sing about her (for those who didn’t memorize it in childhood 🤓). Though I definitely recommend hearing it sung! :
‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria’ Lyrics from ‘The Sound of Music’
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
I even heard her singing in the abbey
She’s always late for chapel
But her penitence is real
She’s always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Maria’s not an asset to the abbey
I’d like to say a word in her behalf
Maria makes me laugh
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o’-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you’d like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
When I’m with her I’m confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She’s as flighty as a feather
She’s a darling! She’s a demon! She’s a lamb!
She’d outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle! She is wild!
She’s a riddle! She’s a child!
She’s a headache! She’s an angel!
She’s a girl!
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o’-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you’d like to tell her

undiagnosed but in my late 40s a few of my friends from university have had adult diagnosis of adhd, i think we were all drawn to each other and might explain why those years were so chaotic. i was successful in getting the degree, but a lot of time and effort especially in things i wasn't good at... my parents helped me through so much, didn't succeed at getting my foot in the door of the field i had my degree in and felt so much shame
Thank you Alex and Dr Kustow - I needed to hear this! I was clinically diagnosed in February this year, 2 weeks after my 50th Birthday. Very quick to offer meds - I've tried x4 different lots which have either made me physically ill, my symptoms worse or haven't had enough of an impact to justify being on them. This book sounds like it could be the kind of 'medicine' that will work for me!
Thank you Dr Kustow!
Alex - Thank you for being a safe space and for helping me understand what has potentially caused of my 'inner volcano' to erupt and overflow over the years!
I was supposed to be going to do a food shop yet here I am, sat at my work desk after a horrifically overwhelming day, paralysed, watching this. ❤
all my life i get this dizziness when i stand up. doesn't always happen, but when it does, sometimes i just fall back to bed for 10 more seconds, wait for the 'wave' to pass and then get up again. only once this got so bad, that when i got up from a sofa after watching a movie for 2 hours, i got so dizzy that i sort of collapsed and hit my head against the front wall of the sofa. that was in 2014, an injury to my trapezius (went into shock to protect the spine) that never fully healed. anyway, i didn't know this condition was also linked with ADHD.
When you get dizzy, lean forward, it is better than leaning back :)
I was trying to explain RSD to my mom since I’m seeking an ADHD diagnosis at 38, and it was tremendously difficult. It was so hard to explain it without making my mom feel like she did something wrong by not getting me diagnosed when I was a child.
What’s RSD?
@@333Cazza rejection sensitivity dysphoria
Does she also have a bit of RSD?
This one's worth taking notes on, will definitely check out his book!
I just ordered the audio book. Wish me luck. BestWishes!
Oh my goodness ~this is such a useful interview.... my night owlishness is something I have tried to change, but I find almost impossible.... 2 is the earliest I can go to sleep.... always has been, and even though I can choose when I wake/sleep, because I live in total isolation on a farm, it would make a whole lot more sense to be awake early and get work done, but I seem to find it impossible, even if I get myself into bed earlier, I just can't get to sleep until after 2... often I even see the sun begin to wake up before I can sleep. And I have trouble with the heat of the day... I wake up and scan everywhere for snakes, threats, issues until later int he afternoon, and only then can I get outside to do the work I need to get done. My days are very short.... my nights are long and I luxuriate after dark, in the ability to relax. Often in a bath that can last for many hours.... and i have felt like a bit of a lunatic...and I totally have the clothes mountain!I feel somewhat more like a 'normal' person now, as I am obviously not the only one!
Soooo gooood!!! I’ll be buying this book and truly doing my best to actually read it. 😂 emotional regulation is exactly what I’m praying I gain some knowledge and control in. Thank you for this!!
& then I hear there is an audio version! 👏🏼👏🏼
Get the audiobook
I loved this! Thanks so much 😊🙏❤️
So much makes sense now.
I like these videos, but the clickbaity intro is really off-putting. No need for it, we are already here, we already want to listen to you and your interviewees. Please treat us like we are intelligent watchers.
Everything is clickbait now. If they don't do the views go down sadly. The algorithm is evil
@@RenegadeContext No, that's really, really not true. I'm following loads of channels and podcasts and none of them does that. No need to normalise it. It's not necessary.
@jazy3091 well the ones I follow, and would follow without the clickbait do it and that was the reason they gave. They said when they don't use dramatic or click baity titles their views go down dramatically.
@@RenegadeContext The most engaging trick is rage-bait. It doesn't mean I want a podcast that I respect to do it to get more traction. And frankly, it's off-putting and I start judging the author's reason for making these podcasts.
Agreed. Every once in a while it brings up the “you can’t tell me what to do” streak and I just stop the video because the intention of the intro is so blatant. 😂
Thank you so much to both of you! Probably the best & most informative video I've watched about ADHD. I'll be sharing this & getting the book :-) I can relate so much, having only just realized in my late 50's now & so glad of the insights. I really laughed at the end with the clothes mountain & molehills...so me!! Thank you for the honesty & inspiration, absolutely priceless.
Thank you for letting me know exactly how much to double tap to skip the ad
Tiimo ❤❤❤❤❤ and how you integrated it seamlessly 🎉🎉🎉 😅love this, love Tiimo
You are spot on, SRD is hell. 😢
Im avoidant in relationships and a perfectionist when it comes to work and it's exhausting
I felt this way for years until I found a partner with whom I was able to talk and make some agreements regarding my ADHD. So good...
@adhdvibesyt do you mind me asking if you're male or female?
@@RenegadeContext male, bro! why?
@@RenegadeContext and my girl is a psychologist, maybe this help us 🤣
@@adhdvibesyt I'm not male. The dynamic is very different. Women do stuff like remember birthdays and Keep the social circle alive. If you're a woman and can't do that because of your ADHD you can't keep relationships going cos most men don't do that stuff and someone needs to
I was diagnosed 30 years ago and I live with it so this is what I tell the girls In my book - Your Body is a Gift .. That it stands for Attention Deluxe -Highly Divine. 🤗🦋I give them a simple listen, breathe allow meditation technique, which slows the mind down as you identify what you’re hearing.
Brilliant episode - super informative and resonates with many of my experiences and research done and I unpack why I am the way I am.
Very good questions. Thank you for sharing what we really deal with.
The amount of a..ha!! Moments i had listening to this was just wow. Helpful is an understatement 🙏 thank you
So many moments I can relate to... 😂... Yep, I have hundreds of books, yet I choose to listen to them instead at 1.5 speed as they are too slow 😂
story of my life 😂🙃
I hate all these questionnaires for a add. Give me an actual test so I can show people how difficult dealing with this is. Actual exam. Actual tests that I will fail at that normal people have no problem. Measure my emotional dysregulation in my frustration in answering a question at that actual moment, my confusion in not being able to remember a question I was just asked 2 minutes ago on the exam, why can't they do something like this? Give me something so I can show people that I have severe difficulties in everyday things. I exist in a 5-minute window. Anything that happens in the future or a couple minutes behind and trying to find something is gone. I live in a "50 1st dates' every day of my life since kindergarten when it was brought to my attention. 58 years of this than I am so exhausted and not where I should be
"I exist in a 5-minute window"...I think I might have struck youtube comment gold with this.
Living the adhd life is sheer madness. Trying to describe that madness to NT is nearly impossible and drives me into further madness.
I'm sorry you share in this pain too. Thank you for your comment. Be well
7:48 i am staying up to keep up with my work, it's almost 2:00AM. Watching this while waiting for some processes to complete :)
Yup, here at 2.40.....
❤

I didnt understand the owl until they said night owl and then it all made perfect sense, among other things, thanks a lot
Our very own Dr James Kustow!
I went looking for the daily practice thing he mentioned on your website but couldn't find it :( is it up yet?
Same, also looking for the daily practice, can you share a link please? Thanks 👍
Bought his book just now and hope I can finish it
Ich muss schlafen, ich muss vernünftig essen, ich muss regelmäßig Sport machen... ich muss ich muss ich muss gar nichts!
I literally did not sit my uni exams for exactly what he described, although I didn't get a diagnosis for another decade
May have to look at TIMO 😅
Great interview great mind! ✨🙏🏽
Great Show!😊
"The person with ADHD should change their lifestyle before diagnosis and medication. I understand they just can't do it. But you know with a little bit of effort". Contradicting as usual. If we just can't do it, we will not do it. Strategies to make things easier for ourselves and tending to our emotional and sensory needs are possibly more effective because it's what we might not know how to do. But doing things we can't do is just impossible and frustrating, which will only make us more stressed. "Be your beautiful self." Not like that
Has that been said?
@Skully57 yes, listen to it again
I think you're taking it to be more literal than it is. You could interpret what he's saying as it feels impossible "I know they just can't do it" is the recognition of the feeling we get when confronted with things like these. Approaching it as something to be tackled slowly in bits will make it possible. Not everything everyone says is literal, people trip over their words all the time and don't say exactly what they mean. When it comes to NTs you have to read between the lines
@RenegadeContext He's not neurotypical. He said he's got ADHD. I don't think I took it too literally. It's more that I'm sick of NT's useless advice for ND's or ND's advice to try to be more NT. It very rarely works
I think the reasoning being offered here is that it's easy to say that lifestyle change should be the ideal option but he is acknowledging at the same time that it is not that simple, for the obvious fact that nobody can just change a lifestyle in one move overnight, let alone someone who struggles with NT challenges. The followup about "a little bit of effort" is to open the idea of incremental strategies that could/can be useful to guide one toward an overall lifestyle shift, and again that an awareness that one must learn and understand these strategic options are first required and then adopt them as self actioned behaviors.
It's not them offering a resolution followed by the conflict... it's mire that they are pointing out an ideal solution, followed by them highlighting the conflicts that make this such a seemingly impossible task.
Shaun Spencer from the show Psych definitely has ADHD, in my opinion!🤓
Amazing 👏
I am convinced that tai chi could benefit immensely us the adhd people
One of the most embarrassing things I do ( although I laugh at it) is always leave my fly unzipped or slightly more costly leave taps running
Thank you oh so very much x
I need this book on tape
90 seconds was too long, while you were saying it I already though I should check that next YT video which was about cptsd. That's my life. I'm 40+ and trying to be a student this year so imagine me having 6 classes in the row. One of my tutors has similar condition and habit to call my name 10 times during lecture to get my focus back 😅but it's extremelly exhausting and after 2 hours I'm depleted from all the attention I had for that day. I am thinking to give up. But when I'm back at home and there is 15 things to be done (involving movement) I am like new duracell battery. .
Listening to this at 3.30am 😅
@42:10 Please pursue this idea. I have long wondered about the link/correlation/comorbidity of trauma and ADD. I recently saw another video on CPTSD making the same (or reverse) reference to ADD. How does one differentiate childhood CPTSD from ADD? Which comes first, treating CPTSD or ADD?
A minute in Alex says wonder how many are sitting there nodding their heads at what you are saying .. me like a 'nodding dog' in a very fast jiggly car
Is there anyone else here that slipped into cocaine addiction unconsciously attaching it as a stimulant which brings temporary relief from a racing head and then ended up with addiction problems on top of the adhd you already have ?
Im 40 years old and have adhd and addiction issues and I'm becoming more and more unwell and i can't find a way out
Is it a given that hyperfocus is not okay for those with ADHD? Could it be okay and just not really okay for the majority of society who don't have ADHD? I just find that that's when I do my best is when I'm hyper focused and getting things done in an incredible short period of time that people without ADHD can't fathom. If that could be purposefully utilized somehow couldn't it be beneficial?
I have an entire clothes mountain range.
Does the app help that much wow
That’s what I want to know lol
1:30 am but why quibble? 😂
1:44am watching at 1.5x
We put ourselves down before others do, it's a terrible masking method.
My email is an old one, its up to 89859 emails in the inbox unread.
🤮
Thanks so much for this video, so many relatable and informative points.
Also you can't choose the hyperfocus nd the timing of it, it's almost completely random
And what about self-deprecation about self-deprecation? :)
Does anyone else have low blood pressure and incredibly high heart rate?
Yea, I had a tilt table test to diagnose PoTs - this is Dysautonomia, what he mentions in the podcast - look up RCCX theory
The cruelest irony is that to learn tricks to hack your ADHD, you have to pay attention for an hou and seventeen minutes. I don't have the capacity
00:05 Me: "is that a tiny washing machine?"
The music playing in the background of the advert makes it impossible to Iisten to what's being said 😳
🤣🤣🤣🤣i have undiagnosed ADHD and i currently to cleaning my flat. When said clothes mountain i died because i kee putting it off .
I think around 50% of the time I was sent out of class, it was for tapping!
My goodness. The failed business ideas. How did I not get diagnosed until 30?
I couldn't find the app....how do you spell it please? 🤞🏼
It's tiimo
But I can't figure out how it works 😢
@CallippoShafai thank you. If I figure it out I see if I can help you. X
31:02 It should be renamed Attention DISREGULATION/Hyperactivity Disorder
Guys, making a video for someone with adhd, which promotes 5 hacks in over 1 hour... who watches that/ is able to watch that ?! 😅 way too long for me. ❤
Love the podcast, but maybe don't copy so many elements of the DOAC podcast.. Be true to your original self instead 😉
I know you have to keep the lights on and all, but there's something quite dystopian about having mid-sentence ad interruptions every 10 minutes on a video for people with ADHD. Its so darkly ironic, I feel like a Black Mirror character trying to watch this. I've lost my place and had to re-watch large chunks a few times. You could at least place the ads at sensible breaks in the conversation.
Just get a sub and never watch ads again, which sounds like something you’d benefit from.
Also, there is literally nothing dystopian about ads. Dystopian refers to fictional societies or places with negative features, often based in an imagined future.
Yup, nodding and saying "that's me".
Omg, I have an email that has 50k emails and browser on phone says 2348 tabs!!!
Aggression in a man, caused by ADHD or not, is a big no 🚫 in a relationship. Showing aggression to a women is unacceptable in and of itself. If you can't control yourself, you are not suitable for a relationship.
Thank you for saying this
A man can show aggression without being written off for a relationship. It is not the same as violence. My hubby shouts sometimes, because like me he is a human. He would never raise his hand to me though, the only reason that could ever provoke that guant teddy bear to violence is a threat to me or our child. Men experience emotions too, like women its all about self control. I get aggressive sometimes, but I dont raise my hand to him or our child either because even though my hands may not be as dangerous, it is every bit as wrong.
@@GardenRose7282 aggression is a strong predictor for violence. You may accept this behaviour for yourself, but screaming is detrimental to any relationship. Be well.
@@GardenRose7282 that wouldn't be for me tbh. Experiencing emotions doesn't mean that you direct aggression at a partner. Men can be angry without being ''aggressive''.
How about aggression by either partner?
Before I know I am triggered, I have already exploded. 💥
sorry. i skipped the ads cause its unbearable
Just pay 12 quid a month and get UA-cam premium.... I couldn't bare the adds no longer so I just pay 12 quid a month which is £3 a week....
It's not even 60p a day to never have to watch another add....
Best decision I've made in a long time as the adds were driving me nuts for years
@ in my currency, its quite high. cause my country money is quite low 😅
I was gona watch but that ad took too long so I’m gone lol
It's now 4:10 am 👋
5:15am Binman outside😢
Dexedrine
What is the noise that's going on. Like a throbbing in the audio.. Creeping me out 🤨
how to thrive with adult adhd
couldnt listen to the ad....was immediately bored!
Pay 12 quid for UA-cam premium...
Well worth it
"5 simple tricks", 1h17m video... something seems off here.
I think the ADHD "experts" and ASD "experts" need to shut up, sit down, and actually talk to each other. I've been obsessed with learning about ASD the past couple months. Now I'm watching ADHD videos, and they're saying the exact same things!!! How about we just call it all one thing and stop trying to segment something that doesn't need to be.
