    "What I am scared of the most, is accepting that I am like this and I will continue to be like this, and there's no missing piece I can find in journaling or dieting or meditation or medications or relationships or 5am workouts that will fix this for good. I will become an irritable lump of clay and people will need things from me that I cannot give them, over and over and over. But I will also wriggle back into a vaguely person shape and stand up again."

    5 Minutes in I paused the video to give my partner a hug and some validation. They have ADHD and autism (and loves hugs). I know what it's like to spiral into negative thoughts like that even if I don't have the same neurological root causes.
    Highly recommend the book 'Laziness does not exist' by Devon Price. Not necessarily related to ADHD but there are probably a lot of people who get called lazy for shitty reasons. Or call people lazy for shitty reasons.

I've been struggling with serious anxiety induced (among others) by my first ADHD meds and to not give into the belief that I'll never get out of it has been one of the hardest things in my life. Thank you! ❤

    I'm sorry to hear about your burnout. I crossed that line a few years ago - every second I spent inside Slack gave me non-imaginary stomach pain. Replying emails gritting teeth. Fun times. But past times.
    I had the poingnant extra-context of knowing you write poetry - so that video makes just a tad more than 100% sense, perhaps 100.6, something like that. The giant irony here is that writing a poetic script like that, one that makes my brain feel like it's inside that Jamiroquai videoclip, is just so so so much more work than just a point A, point B, point C script.
    Hearing you talking about observing the glorious change-of-world moment when strangers/NPCs become... people gave me, well, ludonarrative ressonance? Harmonics, even.

    I was once blowing bubbles with a little plastic toy that my cousin had bought. I was alone at the kitchen table like any other evening, but the beauty of each individual bubble inspired this fear in me, because it was destroyed so easily. I wanted to put down the bubble blower and stop, because it scared me that I was making something so joyful but so impermanent. Would that version of me that was so enthralled by the bubbles of a silly little plastic loop be lost forever? Did it even exist?

    You have a beautiful mind, and admirable skill of describing thoughts I've had with words I've spoken, but would never have spoken quite the same way if I had a hundred years to try.
    I've watched or listened to this video six times in two days. Three times, it moved me to tears, but never at the same part of the video.
    To think I never would have seen it if I hadn't been looking for advice on planning a campaign with ADHD is a little horrifying, so I've been sending it to all my friends (who are unlikely to see your videos otherwise) with the warning, "Be careful: This is a video for when you're not feeling vulnerable, _but think you might want to for a while._"

    The visualization of a raccoon washing its cotton candy was an entirely too accurate description of trying to describe a dream to someone else; as it both slips crumbling away from its own details in your mind and your words fail to materialize in someone else's mind the importance and fantasy that the dreamscape originally bore into yours. It's perhaps best to keep the dream as you felt it rather than analyze it, attempt to share it, or attempt to clean it up in a small seasonal yet familiar stream. Yet, you have implanted the very sad, desperate, yet well intentioned image of this small survivor realizing the frailty and small horror that his delicious, well-gathered treat is unbelievably lost in the clear, cool, salty, and polluted runoff coming from the drain pipe of life.

      I'm the younger of 3 and I've always being the absent minded one. It's ok when you're a child, that's cute, but the fact is that as the time passed by I saw myself as unreliable cause I usually forgot to pass on messages when somebody called or let things burn on the stove. I was a very nice kid/teen though, and got along with almost everybody and I usually had help of people for solving some situations. When you said that people give another point of view of a situation that you remember differently and this version overlays your memory of the case I related cause I feel like this, but I always associated this to me being an unreliable source of information and got used to believing that others usually had the right answers. I'm 35 years old and I managed to overcome some of these issues but I still rely on my parents help to pay the bills, I feel guilty cause I think I am abusing people's good will but feel no motivation to pursue a better life.

    I shared this video with some friends, including my s.o., when I was barely 5min in, because I just felt such an overwhelming amount of bittersweet joy from relating to everything so much, and delighting in your way with words.
    I continued watching and a couple minutes later, my s.o. came down the stairs to give me a hug. Because she had watched those same first few minutes of that video and recognised what I could relate to and wanted to make sure I feel validated.
    It was such a sweet moment of someone reaching out, who might not relate to the same things, but can understand in some way still. It collided so perfectly with the rest of your video that I'm just sitting here with feelings too big for my chest, so they leak out of my fingers onto my keyboard. The point isn't to make sense, but to share, but if it does make sense to anyone that's beautiful too.

    Not even 5 minutes in, and you've conveyed all the feelings I've been feeling for months now. My content has grinded to a halt because I need my videos to have the best quality possible, audio, visual, storytelling, etc. I hate the sound of my voice, and it compels me to hide away all tones/silliness or else I find my own work to be 'cringe'. Burnout so bad it makes me feel exacerbated when I look at Video Editing programs involving my own content, and despite a daily attempt to work on it, after 15 minutes, I have to distract myself from the feelings I am experiencing.
    I've decided to make my stuff more branched out than just TTRPG stuff, but to feel like I'm not making people wait an age and a half, I've literally completing an entire game playthrough as 1 giant lump so I can drip feed content more efficiently.
