What Don't You Understand? - A Short Film about ADHD

Knowing there are no people that could diagnose you with ADHD in my country just makes me self diagnose. Its the same, its the sameee.. I've been trying to study for my exams for.. a month now... Where did that month go? Why havent i done a single thing yet... And even when i try, why can i remember anything or get distracted with something else right away, its exhausing. I often get called lazy for not doing my chores too.. or the rituines too. Its hard to even take a bath, altho i do enjoy it. Everything is so frustrating to the point i want to cry.

Gosh, as someone with adhd i love this short. Everytime i see it, I feel so understood

Im not diangnosed but i have symptoms and ive been told i should be tested for adhd and autism and i was told by a parental figure itll just be a label or im being dramatic

It seems I have it

I'm in high school. And seriously I feel so helpless I just control all the emotions my parents don't even had any idea about ADHD.

Lmao my biology teacher didn't belive that there is something as adhd

why is this so relatable

This is so me but my parents wants to believe im a good student with no mental illness (impossible)

i do NOT want to self diagnose. this is just everything that happens every single day.

I feel like everyone experiences ADHD but people are just using it as an excuse, I don't think it's a coincedence you mostly only hear of gen z's with ADHD.

this is... terrifiyingly accurate. I don´t want to self-diagnose but, i really think i have ADHD

I can't put into words how accurately this portrays adhd.

I have ADHD and it's terrible. It's too bad to always be distracted, it's always too noisy, too noisy and everything is unnecessary. And For me it was the case that I was given medication and took it, but then of course I had side effects at the very least. But I'm no longer taking the medication and I'm feeling better

As someone with adhd severe watching at 4 am i can confirm im barely able to listen to this myself

im just tired of living this same life everyday..-i have my exams still i ended up wasting my time, i hate myself so much, why can't I just change, I've been trying for months and months but nothing seems to work, im just tired, i can't even cry, i can't even kill myself, i get these constant self harming thoughts, and I can't just get them out of my head, what do I do, I'm just tired, can't i just die?

u always end up asking urself what n why am i doing this.

the medication is causing this and i know from experience

I WAS TRYING TO LIKE THE VIDEO AND ACCIDENTALYBURFBDFUNFE DISLIKED I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS SEUHDY*WNDWUJDIWNUWJDUWHDWUUUUDW

I wish my parents understood this...

i'm 12 and i have adhd!

yo i have adhd but yall are making it so dramatic

Psilocybin containing mushrooms treatment actually saved my life honestly from ADHD and anxiety. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

The voices repeating and getting blurred really made me cry.
Everyday I forget something to school. A book, my pencil case, my notes, that important homework that valued 5 freaking points... I always forget. And I'm not being exaggerated! There is not a single day were I pack everything, even when I try to organize my things in the night before. I don't blame the teachers or my family for thinking I'm just not interested, because I would probably think like that either, but I swear to God that it's not like that! Those pills really do help, but it's not enough. It's exhausting and I'm here spending one more day instead of studying. My notes are always a mess because I take the wrong notebooks to school and procrastinate till forever to rewrite it in the right place. And I always get in trouble because of that. There was this day in which I was trying so hard to pay attention, and then I blinked, and the teacher was on the complete other side of the board. Literally.
I always feel like I'm sinking, but never really dying, and that makes my whole body go terrified and trembling. It's agonizing and it never goes away. Sometimes I just wish I had a normal brain.

I feel so fuqing seen

I dont have ADHD
But I didnt expect it to be that serious like I just thought they can't focus that much and just get distracted easily
But I learned my leson to NOT TO JUDGE
I mean I think I have ADHD like I get distracted easily whenever I am doing smthing
But like If I say myself to focus hardly I would(I'm sorry if I am wrong)

I'm facking crying

I got adhd and dyslexia. And in my honest opinion. I got used to it and its not that bad

I thought everyone was like that.
Aren't they all?

the problem with this (I'm assuming) very graphic & true illustration of what its like is that its impossible to watch. can't imagine living it.

20 years, diagnosed for 12 of them, and I have never been able to find a video that has so accurately depicted what it like living with ADHD. Thank you so, so much for creating this video. It means a lot.

I just broke down in tears watching this. Thank you so much for the representation.

That is just so so so so real.....

I don’t have adhd but I relate a whole damn lot

“When did we learn that?!”
Happened so many times in school but unfortunately I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 29. Everything made sense but I couldn’t help feeling so angry

I have ADHD, I take meds for it, so it’s not as bad but I still have a hard time focusing in class and it just sucks..

I.. want more videos like this. someone have links to similar things?

accurate

As someone who wasn’t diagnosed until middle school, I have no clue how I survived that long without meds. Sometimes I forget to take my medicine and I genuinely can’t live without it.

not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal? not normal?

if i could just get diagnosed and get a prescription for SOME sort of medication, i think that’ll fix everything. im so tired of living like this

I sent this to my cousin hopefully thinking she will understand… she responds to me “oh my friends have had it worse the you have” I crumbled I froze I zoned out thinking “why did I send her that” or “you should have known better” this video, I understood because it happens to the best of us huh?

This relates so much.

the managing to do nothing for two weeks and always running out of time hit hard, also always feeling worn out while doing nothing. the lack of focus almost becomes a bit of an escape before you are dumped right back into your mess again.

I remember sitting in class wondering what it was like to actually comprehend the instructions for an assignment rather than get the information visually or figure it on my own. I remember thinking how come no one else seems to have an issue here? lol then I got medicated and Its like woah...I have stamina for verbal information at last lol. This is cool.

I have never related to something so much.. I'm guessing I have ADHDDDDD

I was doing my work but I came across this video and stopped to watch this 😂

this is insanely accurate literally gonna show this to everyone i know

Soo good

Hey, how did you get all this budget if this is just your first video?
