A Day in the Life with ADHD

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

The second I realize that I’m actually focusing I can’t focus anymore

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

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.

Girl: Is literally talking on the phone in class Teacher: That tall kid saying nothing is getting on my nerves

god the part where he gets frustrated after his mom says hes not trying....... kinda felt that a lil too much........ ouch :(

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.

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.

I understand this is a serious video, however I'm enjoying being tall

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.

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.

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

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

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 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. 😢

The scary part is the cuts in time. My life has flown by and continues to fly by. Days feel like minutes unless im bored or off my meds.

Untrue. I have adhd and I don't have the height of a door

I love my older sister dearly, she was like a second mother to me. Even at a pretty young age, I was aware she was “different” but I didn’t care, I loved her and we had fun and that’s what mattered. I try my best to make her comfortable, but she always seems to happy when we hang out so I don’t think I need to do much to help her, as our friendship is enough :) I still try to understand her, so that we can be the supportive figure in eachothers lives, that we never really got. I appreciate this short film? a lot! It brings awareness.

God, why is this so relatable? I know I was diagnosed with ADHD but I thought the buzzing in the ears was only me. Plus everyone was trying to get you to focus with no prevail, everybody tells you to focus while you can't do it. I love this video as it brings light to a pretty unknown part of ADHD. Plus the timeskips... For any parent with a child that has ADHD please try to treat them right.
