The slice of cheese at the end almost made me lose it, because it's SO DAMN RELATABLE. 😭 Everything is. Thank you for educating people about ADHD in women. Your channel is a literal gem, words aren't enough to emphasize how important your work is! Thank you, you are amazing. ❤ Almost 36yo woman, diagnosed when I was 24. 🫠
I also came here to comment about the slice of cheese! Slice of cheese is what I eat so I can get the necessary hunger and energy to actually feed myself something a little more substantial than a slice of cheese - or at least make some coffee 😂
You're almost 36? M-me too...👀😳🤨 hehe hehh... Totally not lying at all. Whoa, was that lightning? Pffff, it's not a if I've been on this earth for 4 and a half decades come this March 27th. I refuse to admit I'm anything above 36, like... tops, I usually go with 32, tho! I just don't feel older than 22 or 25, but that's a bit young to call myself, now I guess. Regardless of what you wavy to call my age at this time, I was also recently diagnosed with AuDHD, and it has opened my eyes and is changing my life one little step at a time! If I could have had this kind of awareness as a child or teenager, my dog, the things I could have done or been! It makes me weep.
😅 Painfully accurate on almost all counts. It took me years to realize forgetting to eat isn’t normal and that I can’t expect to have a clear mind and clean energy if I’m not doing the thing but the things are so hard to remember!
I write "eat breakfast" on my daily to do list, (which I now try to make the night before so I don't forget to make it & then forget everything else lol) then I have to eat breakfast just so I can tick it off. Usually only the first half of any list actually gets done.

OK, I'm starting to realize through so many videos, (I personally think) at 42 yrs old I have ADHD. I do this exact shit with eating, WHY is it considered ADHD??
I was recently diagnosed last week thanks to you. I'm 37. Months ago, I was looking into ADHD behaviors for my son (14) and came across your page. You made me realize: 💡 "Oh sh*t, I think I may have inattentive ADHD. Didn't even know that was a thing."🤯 So, thank you for explaining things in a more humorous way to better understand why I do what I do. My son was diagnosed yesterday with inattentive as well. I feel bad for my husband but at least it's explains his biggest pet peeve: my impulsive interruption 😅
Same here. My son was Diagnosed so I looked up all I found about this Topic (Got Hyperfocused lol) Them figured that the inattentive version is exactly me. My son is the hyperactive type. So... I'm 37 BTW. And yes.... I felt like a failure all my life. When I realized that this is me... and realized why I am how I am and do what I do the way I do... I cried for days straight. I couldn't get my head around this. So... thank you with all my heart ❤. Thanks to you I realized all this. ❤❤❤
@paperhana @MonalysChannel Girl, I'm 37 as well. My son is 14. Tell me if I'm wrong... It's like having all these physical/medical symptoms but always un/misdiagnosed. You go do research, find the right doctor who finally figured it out. Although the issue will never be technically cured, it definitely makes you feel better knowing what it is that caused the symptoms. (If that makes sense). Like your primary doctor thinks you might have lymes disease. But you have an autoimmune disease. It's not ideal, but at least you got a diagnosis and understand what's going on with your body.
OMG!! Songs here, too. I noticed mine aren't totally random songs, they're the songs I heard at that time the day or two before, on the radio en route to work or at work. It's like the radio playlist runs on repeat in my unconscious brain. It can be so exhausting and irritating b/c my brain isn't resting. A good guided imagery sleep meditation is helping a lot. Turns off the voices too, for a while. I don't even pay full attention, drifting in & out is ok.
This is so accurate, although you forgot the 4pm 'did I take my meds today?' and the 6pm 'MY MEDS!' and sometimes at 9pm 'i forgot to take my meds, might as well just wait til tomorrow morning at this point.'
Does anyone else with ADHD like to eat the individual components of things when they can’t motivate themselves to cook. What I mean by this, is rather than making a cheese and ham toastie for example, I’ll eat 2 slices of cheese, then some ham, then some bread and then a spoonful of butter. Am I weird 😂

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!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I FEEL SEEN!!! 😭😭😭 For me if I don’t write EVERYTHING on the list then will have a panic attack feeling like I’m going to forget something but when I do write everything down I have a panic attack from being overwhelmed Also the food thing is so real!! I get shaky and it feels like my knees are going to give and then I realize I’m actually so hungry and then eat everything in the kitchen (or I NEED to eat but nothing sounds good)
All of the above!! Plus having 20 radio stations playing in my head along with narrator of my movements and fake conversations all at the same time 💛💛💛
I thought I'm the only one who woke up and be like "ugh these voices".. I thought I'm going crazy cuz my whole life I've heard voices , they be telling me everything , from something that I don't know like new knowledge , like how did I even know that random things.. but yeah , I gossip with myself a lot , talks by myself a loy , it's like 3 people but in one body
You might want to look up dissociative identity disorder. I'm pretty sure ADHD voices are more a constant stream of racing thoughts not literal inner voices (although I wouldn't know, I have DID not ADHD).
Omg this has been me all my life! Those side quests are so relatable, and the eating a slice of cheese because you realise you haven't eaten all day. Lol And thank you for making me laugh.
I've eaten the same thing for lunch for 28 months. Still going strong, that meal, thankfully it's clean and nutritious. Started struggling with dinner now, nothing seems to work anymore.
I was diagnosed with ADHD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I 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.
Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind
Watching this while eating an entire 4 ounce package of smoked trout, the largest thing I’ve eaten yet today (and the only thing, other than cashews and coffee with oat milk) due to being immersed in a questionably advisable side quest for the past several hours. At least I had a productive morning and afternoon consisting of several dog walks, a hyperfocus that actually got me most of the way to checking something necessary off of my to do list, and a virtual appointment that I was only 10 minutes late to.
Who has ADHD?!?! 👉🙋🏻♀️👈 This Girl!!!! I'm amazed, relieved and overjoyed to know that ALL of this is 100% accurate, relatable, and relatively normal. Until these videos thought I was the only one and felt like everyone around me was normal except for me. Omgosh, forgetting to eat, hands shaking...BAM!!!! THE CHEESE!! NAILED IT!!!!!👍👏🙌🫶😘
The voices! The constant never ending cycle of reminders yet I still barely remember to do the things 😅 not to mention the 2 or 3 half songs playing in the corners that just burst out at full volume at random times. That I don't really mind, the repeated 8000 times 2 second ear worms however make me wanna cry.
Why do I relate to this so much 😅 I’m neurodivergent and very much lost in my head, so forgetting things like charging stuff drives me crazy and then I can’t do anything anymore because I get angry
@@Heterogeneity I once ate half a small jar of Colman's mustard with a teaspoon, so beans from the tin would be a significant step up for me. Okay, that's not entirely true... It was more than once. 🤭
You mean you actually attempted, at least, to make/eat breakfast in the house rather than rushing out to buy two horribly unhealthy chocolate bars because you need that particular mouthfeel RIGHT NOW?! Shame on you!
My wife has ADHD and I love your videos , they are spot on. I do however find it very hard to cope with and often run out of patience . Your other half comes across as a saint.
The crazy thing is for the majority of my life, I thought I was broken. I thought I was too quirky and weird for other people. What I have realized is that I only get along with other people who have ADHD too. They are the ones I can feel somewhat comfortable with. Neurotypical people and I, dont mesh well together. I also was not aware for 40 years of my life (I'm 42 now) that I had ADHD which made me feel wretched and like an unlovable outcast for most of my life. The only reason I looked into it was because both of my boys have been diagnosed with it. I noticed on their report cards that they were having issues with talking excessively and being disruptive in general. I looked back at my own report cards from when I was a child and they said the exact same thing! So I got them both diagnosed so they can get the help they need to succeed that I never had the opportunity to have. If I had been diagnosed as a child, my life would have made more sense. They didnt think girls had it back in the 80's, that it was more of a boy's issue. It hindered my life significantly, especially my self esteem. I dont want my children to have to live with that same fate. They deserve better. Thank you for your channel and your aspects of women who have this condition. I cant stand the idiots who go off and say this is a made up, behavioural issue and that everyone has it in one way or another 🙄 My now ex best friend made sure to tell me that every time it came up on my end 🙄🤦♀️ Hence one of the huge reasons why we don't speak anymore. I dont have time for judgemental morons in my life.
Preach sister! I relate to everything you said, I was diagnosed recently enough at age 41. I cannot stand the "everyone's a little bit ADHD, blah blah blah" nonsense. It's ignorant, insulting, and infuriating. I mean most people have had low blood sugar at some point, but nobody goes around saying "everyone is a little bit diabetic sometimes". Anyway, weirdos unite! 🎉😊
Too right on all this oh it’s me! Side quest yesterday was build the new bed frame before my partner getting home. Got some of the way. Then it went wrong so got annoyed went back to it later. Had to get her to help meant 2 year old late to bed and the new bed magic was dented like my wants and wishes by end of the day. Shopping at 9 pm for essentials. Then dinner at 10pm and then bed straight after. Oh why can it not be simple!!!!
This is so accurate it’s hilarious, the floordrobe and the cheese had me in stitches. I like the edam from ALDI, and if I find out its run out, I’ll have an internal meltdown 😂 I also noticed I haven’t done my hair all week and wear a hat most of the time, it’s just too much effort 🤷♀️
Exactly. Hey Rox I’m so thankful that you put these videos out because I’m learning I’m a normal Adhd woman. I have always always seen myself a problem and too hard basket. I’m 44 and it hasn’t gotten better with age . Only worse. Life’s complicated and draining but when I see your videos it’s a sigh of relief and hope for me to come to a place of normalising who I am. Which is sooo appreciated more than you’ll ever know. So Thankyou Thankyou ❤
It was the slice of cheese that got me. LOL. I never run out of cheese for this very reason. oh wait... you mean thats my ADHD not just a love of cheese. LOL.
It's like watching reels of my own life... I ALWAYS have sliced cheese in the fridge for the "forgot to eat but now it's dark and I'm shaky" moments. Sliced cheese is a neurodivergent food group!
This is me! I never take time to cook for myself, my husband is always telling me to eat a real meal - I eat cheese just to get energy, I don’t eat cheese, but I do when it’s for protein to save my blood sugar from making me nauseous
This is literally my life. Except add taking care of a 10 month old baby on top of that, all on my own (single mama here) I feel like I’m just making it by, not living. Some days I feel like I’m drowning.
@@Heterogeneitywell it is a struggle to keep your head above the stupidity. But I'm assuming you must be lonely. Your woke aren't you,,? Actually that's not a question,, I already know.

I'm pretty sure I have tendencies of both and it leads to 20 minutes getting later and later until I figure out which earrings exactly match my socks before I can leave the bathroom in the morning.
My thought when you opened the fridge, "The mustard looks pretty good. I'd eat that". But honestly the cheese with some mustard on it sounds like a standard ADHD breakfast for me. 😅
Nearly 57 and only just realised I have this brain. Your videos have helped me a lot. This one hits the spot, although I have breakfast between 4 and 6pm.
100% accurate, this is my wife on the daily. Had I not found your channel? I would not be able to understand the way I do now thank you for your perseverance and sharing.!!😍
I have some cubes of cheese I manage to get myself to cut in advance for moments like these, but yup! Edit: Side note, just poured myself a bowl of cereal and used the last of my milk. Does anyone else leave empty cartons in the sink, either cause putting it in the trash right now is too much work or to remind yourself you're out of milk, cause you'll forget without some kind of visual cue?
I've started keeping stuff I can quickly warm up in my kitchen at this point because when I get hyperfocused I forget to eat and my blood sugar gets super low frequently. I keep microwave popcorn, a few frozen meals, leftovers from takeout (buy more than i need so i have enough to eat more than once, or buy something with huge portions anyway so i can eat more than once), and lots of snacks to raise my sugar to the point I can get thee to the food lol
I'm 53 and just got diagnosed with ADHD. I already suspected I had it since I first heard about it twenty years ago, and so many people around me who advised me to one day go for a test. But like a real ADHD-er it was stuck on my to do list for many years but always ended up deep down on the list, because it is really not a fun thing to do and as a single mum I had enough on my plate. Till I got a burn- out last year and the company controlling doctor send me to the psychologist and that one concluded it was ADHD that was 90% the reason for my burnout. So finally almost under force finally went for official tests. Just learned that I score almost max on almost all fields. Still wander how I didn't get myself in terrible problem all my life, but think working in many social fields saw every possible way people can mess up their life, and I knew that I should really not do that. But It was and is still every day a struggle to life a "normal" responsible life. But still trying so hard I still feel I mess up every time. Still every time I fail in things others do naturaly. Forget to cock food till my son starts complainig he's hungry after he finished a packet of cockies because I forgot time, still end up in a shop 15 minutes before closing time totally stressed out because there where so many things to do I saw getting dressed and forgot time. Suddely realizing it is 3 am and i'm surposed to get up at 7 and now I know tommorow will be a struggle because of lack of sleep and many more struggles like that. Seeing your video's is like seeing myself. On one side it explaines a lot and kind of makes me a little proud that I didn't mess up big time. but I have to be honest I can not watch more than two or three because every time it's like " oh no, not that also" . It also makes me sad about all the struggles and stress I had that maybe was not neccesary if I went for a test earlier. I also feel guilty towards my son who often had to deal with a totally stressed out mum over nothing. We have a good bond and he seems to be a happy confident teenager now, but still wished I could turn back time. Next step is treatment. At least I hope the next years will be a little easier.
Yup, yup, yup, yup. All of it.... ESPECIALLY the to do list in which I over commit myself and the forgetting to eat leading to a slice of cheese, although sometimes it'll be a glass of milk lol
Relatable. For me though, I wouldn’t be able to find my laptop. And when I did, it wouldn’t be charged. And then I wouldn’t be able to find the charger. So then I get lost in a rabbit hole of adhd shorts on UA-cam to try and figure out why I am the way I am. Super fun.

Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
This is absolutely me! Only realised I have ADHD in November last year! I'm 53 and have known I was different all my life but never knew why! 💕
53 as well, and same 😅
Ditto sixty😊
🤯 how have I went 53 years and not realize?!?!? 😳 wowza! That is every day. 🤦♀️
Me too… 53 and this is everyday 😅
59 here, not diagnosed, told I was lazy all my life.
67 and only just realised this is me!
With the exception of a slice of cheese (I go for a spoonful of peanut butter🤷🏼♂️) this is *so* accurate. 😂
I mean, I want to eat something good but I was already running behind and can't devote any time to cooking.
Gotta have a lil protein. Making a boiled egg takes too long.
Ooh the pb is a good tip. I forget to look in the pantry because usually those foods require prep
OMG, you killed me! The only other go-to food in my house is PB 💖😅
Banana dipped in manuka honey is my new thing
“Find your Tribe!! Love them hard!!”
I belong here:)
Cheers me dear! ❤❤❤xxxx
I FEEL SEEN!!! 😭😭😭
For me if I don’t write EVERYTHING on the list then will have a panic attack feeling like I’m going to forget something but when I do write everything down I have a panic attack from being overwhelmed
Also the food thing is so real!! I get shaky and it feels like my knees are going to give and then I realize I’m actually so hungry and then eat everything in the kitchen (or I NEED to eat but nothing sounds good)
The shaking hands and not eating is SO ACCURATE
All of the above!! Plus having 20 radio stations playing in my head along with narrator of my movements and fake conversations all at the same time 💛💛💛
but WHY does that one slice of cheese work always so well :'D Thank you for uploading Rory, you are helping out way more than you think❤
I thought I'm the only one who woke up and be like "ugh these voices".. I thought I'm going crazy cuz my whole life I've heard voices , they be telling me everything , from something that I don't know like new knowledge , like how did I even know that random things.. but yeah , I gossip with myself a lot , talks by myself a loy , it's like 3 people but in one body
You might want to look up dissociative identity disorder. I'm pretty sure ADHD voices are more a constant stream of racing thoughts not literal inner voices (although I wouldn't know, I have DID not ADHD).
it sounds a bit like DID to me too, if you look it up it might resonate. but maybe not, and that's fine too
Thanks for helping our spouses finally understand what we're going through.. you're saving families here!
Omg I love you 😂😂😂 ‘side quest’😂😂😂
Omg this has been me all my life! Those side quests are so relatable, and the eating a slice of cheese because you realise you haven't eaten all day. Lol And thank you for making me laugh.
I've eaten the same thing for lunch for 28 months. Still going strong, that meal, thankfully it's clean and nutritious. Started struggling with dinner now, nothing seems to work anymore.
Just Tuesday 😞 the loop can be soul crushing sometimes
I was diagnosed with ADHD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I 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.
Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the
morning after. So no hangovers. No
depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now
have a more calm mind
How do i find him? Is he on Instagram
Does he ship? Can he deliver to me here in Wales
is this agentic ai?
This is my life! This channel makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.
Watching this while eating an entire 4 ounce package of smoked trout, the largest thing I’ve eaten yet today (and the only thing, other than cashews and coffee with oat milk) due to being immersed in a questionably advisable side quest for the past several hours. At least I had a productive morning and afternoon consisting of several dog walks, a hyperfocus that actually got me most of the way to checking something necessary off of my to do list, and a virtual appointment that I was only 10 minutes late to.
Which feels like bragging, but probably shouldn’t??
What I’m trying to say is, this is extremely relatable.
I thought I was the only one! This is so shockingly relatable...
Who has ADHD?!?! 👉🙋🏻♀️👈 This Girl!!!!
I'm amazed, relieved and overjoyed to know that ALL of this is 100% accurate, relatable, and relatively normal. Until these videos thought I was the only one and felt like everyone around me was normal except for me. Omgosh, forgetting to eat, hands shaking...BAM!!!! THE CHEESE!! NAILED IT!!!!!👍👏🙌🫶😘
This sounds so familiar….it’s like you’re spying on me….
The voices! The constant never ending cycle of reminders yet I still barely remember to do the things 😅 not to mention the 2 or 3 half songs playing in the corners that just burst out at full volume at random times. That I don't really mind, the repeated 8000 times 2 second ear worms however make me wanna cry.
Why do I relate to this so much 😅 I’m neurodivergent and very much lost in my head, so forgetting things like charging stuff drives me crazy and then I can’t do anything anymore because I get angry
This has all happened to me before, right down to the hands shaking and a slice of cheese
What shall I eat... Freezer suprise or Fridge suprise.
Mac N cheese out of the tin,it is then.
Hahah, same, baked beans are also good in the tin if we are debasing ourselves here
@@Heterogeneity I once ate half a small jar of Colman's mustard with a teaspoon, so beans from the tin would be a significant step up for me.
Okay, that's not entirely true... It was more than once. 🤭
Literally me. My entire life. The food things were spot on!
You mean you actually attempted, at least, to make/eat breakfast in the house rather than rushing out to buy two horribly unhealthy chocolate bars because you need that particular mouthfeel RIGHT NOW?! Shame on you!
I drive my wife crazy in the mornings with all the stuff I'm worried about for the day.
The shaky hands, slice of cheese thing killed me!
My wife has ADHD and I love your videos , they are spot on. I do however find it very hard to cope with and often run out of patience . Your other half comes across as a saint.
The crazy thing is for the majority of my life, I thought I was broken. I thought I was too quirky and weird for other people. What I have realized is that I only get along with other people who have ADHD too. They are the ones I can feel somewhat comfortable with. Neurotypical people and I, dont mesh well together.
I also was not aware for 40 years of my life (I'm 42 now) that I had ADHD which made me feel wretched and like an unlovable outcast for most of my life. The only reason I looked into it was because both of my boys have been diagnosed with it. I noticed on their report cards that they were having issues with talking excessively and being disruptive in general. I looked back at my own report cards from when I was a child and they said the exact same thing! So I got them both diagnosed so they can get the help they need to succeed that I never had the opportunity to have. If I had been diagnosed as a child, my life would have made more sense. They didnt think girls had it back in the 80's, that it was more of a boy's issue. It hindered my life significantly, especially my self esteem. I dont want my children to have to live with that same fate. They deserve better.
Thank you for your channel and your aspects of women who have this condition. I cant stand the idiots who go off and say this is a made up, behavioural issue and that everyone has it in one way or another 🙄 My now ex best friend made sure to tell me that every time it came up on my end 🙄🤦♀️ Hence one of the huge reasons why we don't speak anymore. I dont have time for judgemental morons in my life.
Preach sister! I relate to everything you said, I was diagnosed recently enough at age 41. I cannot stand the "everyone's a little bit ADHD, blah blah blah" nonsense. It's ignorant, insulting, and infuriating. I mean most people have had low blood sugar at some point, but nobody goes around saying "everyone is a little bit diabetic sometimes".
Anyway, weirdos unite! 🎉😊
You forgot the daily wall staring. It's important to inspect the walls of your home regularly....
Too right on all this oh it’s me! Side quest yesterday was build the new bed frame before my partner getting home. Got some of the way. Then it went wrong so got annoyed went back to it later.
Had to get her to help meant 2 year old late to bed and the new bed magic was dented like my wants and wishes by end of the day.
Shopping at 9 pm for essentials. Then dinner at 10pm and then bed straight after.
Oh why can it not be simple!!!!
This is so accurate it’s hilarious, the floordrobe and the cheese had me in stitches. I like the edam from ALDI, and if I find out its run out, I’ll have an internal meltdown 😂
I also noticed I haven’t done my hair all week and wear a hat most of the time, it’s just too much effort 🤷♀️
Exactly. Hey Rox I’m so thankful that you put these videos out because I’m learning I’m a normal Adhd woman. I have always always seen myself a problem and too hard basket. I’m 44 and it hasn’t gotten better with age . Only worse. Life’s complicated and draining but when I see your videos it’s a sigh of relief and hope for me to come to a place of normalising who I am. Which is sooo appreciated more than you’ll ever know. So Thankyou Thankyou ❤
It was the slice of cheese that got me. LOL. I never run out of cheese for this very reason. oh wait... you mean thats my ADHD not just a love of cheese. LOL.
Yeah, there it is, a slice of cheese!! All so painfully & funnily relatable. Lots of love to you both. 💙
It's like watching reels of my own life... I ALWAYS have sliced cheese in the fridge for the "forgot to eat but now it's dark and I'm shaky" moments. Sliced cheese is a neurodivergent food group!
This is me! I never take time to cook for myself, my husband is always telling me to eat a real meal - I eat cheese just to get energy, I don’t eat cheese, but I do when it’s for protein to save my blood sugar from making me nauseous
Just got my diagnosis 10 minutes ago and I'm here to be near my ppl. Suspected my diagnoses and followed y'all for a while tho
The sniff test just killed me 😂 so me thanks for sharing the struggle
This is painfully accurate.
I really need to drink and eat something. Thanks for the reminder.
The love of writing a todo list that won’t get done 😂
They don't teach this in survival school but cheese is the battery that keeps us ADHD folks alive.
What’s it with a sniff of a new book. Best feeling ever.
The sniff of a new book, coffee and a vape. Best breakfast ever!
Yep.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yesssssssss
Nobody understands
Slices if cheese are so good
Awh...”there it is, slice of cheese”! This is me in a nutshell 🤣👍
This is literally my life. Except add taking care of a 10 month old baby on top of that, all on my own (single mama here) I feel like I’m just making it by, not living. Some days I feel like I’m drowning.
"floor drobe" lol. Right now, somewhere, your ADHD and my OCD are fist fighting right now. I sincerely mean that with overwhelming kindness 🥰😁
hahah, I can feel the struggle
@@Heterogeneitywell it is a struggle to keep your head above the stupidity. But I'm assuming you must be lonely. Your woke aren't you,,? Actually that's not a question,, I already know. So what are your pronouns,? I must have triggered you somehow. How's the family? Wait don't go away, I wanna be friends!!..🤣😂🤣😂
@@Heterogeneity lol😂🤣🤣🤣😂
@@Heterogeneity I think I may have wrote you a reply before thinking you were someone else. I was involuntarily
arguing with someone I don't see it but my apologies if I did.😳😁
I'm pretty sure I have tendencies of both and it leads to 20 minutes getting later and later until I figure out which earrings exactly match my socks before I can leave the bathroom in the morning.
painfully relatable 😭 💔 ❤️🩹
Feeling attacked🤣
I wrote my list before bed last night, woke up to shite weather so I've got in the bath instead doom scrolling🤣🤣
Ok where have you hidden the camera in my apartment? This is every day of my life 😂
I have lived this day thousands of times!😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The slice of cheese is so real 😂 it's that or a yogurt tube and then I move on with life as if I've actually eaten
My thought when you opened the fridge, "The mustard looks pretty good. I'd eat that". But honestly the cheese with some mustard on it sounds like a standard ADHD breakfast for me. 😅
You literally just described my week so far!
Nearly 57 and only just realised I have this brain. Your videos have helped me a lot. This one hits the spot, although I have breakfast between 4 and 6pm.
100% accurate, this is my wife on the daily. Had I not found your channel? I would not be able to understand the way I do now thank you for your perseverance and sharing.!!😍
Sliced square shaped foods are life savers. A quick sammich to sate the growls. Sometimes I forget to eat and have one meal and wonder why I am hungry
Omgare we all doing this and pretending we are OK when I think this might be normal .I love you guys so much blessings for being real ❤️
I have some cubes of cheese I manage to get myself to cut in advance for moments like these, but yup!
Edit: Side note, just poured myself a bowl of cereal and used the last of my milk. Does anyone else leave empty cartons in the sink, either cause putting it in the trash right now is too much work or to remind yourself you're out of milk, cause you'll forget without some kind of visual cue?
Literally me. Im tickled pink that someone else gets it! 😂❤
OMG thought everybody did things like this????? I do these things all the time didn't even know it was a thing🌈😘
Your shirt is amazing 😂😂 love Noah
Lol the slice of cheese! 😂 I so resort to the slice of cheese!! ❤
I've started keeping stuff I can quickly warm up in my kitchen at this point because when I get hyperfocused I forget to eat and my blood sugar gets super low frequently.
I keep microwave popcorn, a few frozen meals, leftovers from takeout (buy more than i need so i have enough to eat more than once, or buy something with huge portions anyway so i can eat more than once), and lots of snacks to raise my sugar to the point I can get thee to the food lol
for context: not everyone with ADHD looks like this.
The food hyperfocus is the worst 😢 it’s always a breakfast food, too!
I'm 53 and just got diagnosed with ADHD. I already suspected I had it since I first heard about it twenty years ago, and so many people around me who advised me to one day go for a test. But like a real ADHD-er it was stuck on my to do list for many years but always ended up deep down on the list, because it is really not a fun thing to do and as a single mum I had enough on my plate. Till I got a burn- out last year and the company controlling doctor send me to the psychologist and that one concluded it was ADHD that was 90% the reason for my burnout. So finally almost under force finally went for official tests. Just learned that I score almost max on almost all fields. Still wander how I didn't get myself in terrible problem all my life, but think working in many social fields saw every possible way people can mess up their life, and I knew that I should really not do that. But It was and is still every day a struggle to life a "normal" responsible life. But still trying so hard I still feel I mess up every time. Still every time I fail in things others do naturaly. Forget to cock food till my son starts complainig he's hungry after he finished a packet of cockies because I forgot time, still end up in a shop 15 minutes before closing time totally stressed out because there where so many things to do I saw getting dressed and forgot time. Suddely realizing it is 3 am and i'm surposed to get up at 7 and now I know tommorow will be a struggle because of lack of sleep and many more struggles like that. Seeing your video's is like seeing myself. On one side it explaines a lot and kind of makes me a little proud that I didn't mess up big time. but I have to be honest I can not watch more than two or three because every time it's like " oh no, not that also" . It also makes me sad about all the struggles and stress I had that maybe was not neccesary if I went for a test earlier. I also feel guilty towards my son who often had to deal with a totally stressed out mum over nothing. We have a good bond and he seems to be a happy confident teenager now, but still wished I could turn back time.
Next step is treatment. At least I hope the next years will be a little easier.
The slice of cheese meal is sooooo acurate!
Yup, yup, yup, yup. All of it.... ESPECIALLY the to do list in which I over commit myself and the forgetting to eat leading to a slice of cheese, although sometimes it'll be a glass of milk lol
Yep, slice of cheese at the end is too accurate!
Me: curling up in bed watching you -while wearing my own blue housecoat with dark blue stars- instead of going to sleep...
10/10 can relate
The slice of cheese was to accurate 💀
Relatable. For me though, I wouldn’t be able to find my laptop. And when I did, it wouldn’t be charged. And then I wouldn’t be able to find the charger. So then I get lost in a rabbit hole of adhd shorts on UA-cam to try and figure out why I am the way I am. Super fun.
Love the hand shaking and slice of cheese
What's even funnier I'm watching this when I first wake up with a slice of cheese in my hand I'm so fucking dead haaha
Andddd when you pick up your laptop, you realise you did not put in the charger....
