Dopamine is the neurotransmitter in our brain that people with ADHD have less of, than the average person. This is why we have difficulties with our attention, motivation and lots of other things. Lucky for us, there is a way we can use this dopamine deficiency to our advantage by starting to get our dopamine from more healthy, sustainable places, instead of resorting to bindge-eating and being social media addicted. This can then make us a lot more successful and happy in the long-term.

Trying to watch the video and read the comments at the same time is typical me.

For those of you with ADHD 4:17 is where content begins

I was severely traumatized 18 years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. 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.

1. Exercising 2. Protein 3. Caffeine 4. Healthy sugary food 5. Getting enough sun 6. Getting enough sleep 7. Listening to music 8. Doing something creative 9. Hugging

I'm finding with ADHD that I absolutely MUST do something right when I think of it or I'll definitely procrastinate. For me, doing the dishes, laundry and going for a walk around my neighborhood must be done right away and I'm always glad I do them afterwards.

What helps me the most is a big affectionate dog š¶ Two or three walks a day, in nature and a friendly neighborhood, eating at the same time twice a day, and lots of hugs, keep me going. Best decision ever!

Thank you! Recently diagnosed at age 51 years and assumed I was just a lifelong screw up. Since getting diagnosed, Iāve managed to quit smoking weed after 20 years of daily use, quit my job to start a small business, go to the gym 3 days a week, gave up sugar and junk food and am engaging in a much more robust social life (no alcohol of course). What an eye opener it has been to learn Iām not just a screw up, Iām just wired differently.

i think one of the biggest problems of ADHD its being impulsive, impulsive thoughts. Sometimes we need to count till 10 and breath to get the thoughts checked.

Diagnosed at 51, Iām menopausal, have depression and anxiety, I lost my job due to my mental health. I eat loads of sugar and carbs, due to this and menopause Iāve gained 4 stone or 56 poundsš¢Iām fat, lacking in any motivation, have no focus, I look after my daughter who is 15, autistic and has ADHD. Iām completely lost, Iāve lost my identity, my brain and intellect due to brain fog, Iām floating through my life watching it pass by whilst achieving nothing. I feel like a spectator in my own life, itās out of control and I donāt know how to cope with it. My only pleasure is art, I took up painting 3 years ago and I love it but everyone keeps telling me to sell it but Iām too scared of failing.

My passion in life are to play fifa while doing a line of coke and overthink why i said something to a random person 10 years ago :) needless to say u hit the sweet spot on this video, feels like for the first time of my life i dont feel like an alien. Thank you for this video i really needed it.

Adhd has been both a blessing and a curse. Yes, I was in sales too and was very successful. But the curse is the constant struggle with overthinking, anxiety etc etc

Buddy most of the people watching this video are struggling with ADHD you need to get to the point faster and speak quicker I lost my attention and had to watch this video like six times over half an hour.

Adhd athlete here. The problem i run into is that as i got bigger, faster and stronger and began to plateau i stopped getting the dopamine hit. At a certain point the amount of time it takes to continue to progresss becomes months and months. Not to mention all the eating snd stuff. The sport and training became a job and now i get almost no feeling from a good training session. My bloodwork and stuff looks great but i don't feel anything anymore.

I'm diagnosed with ADHD and the things I get dopamine from are YouTube videos (I watch some over and over again that give me dopamine), eating sweets, buying new things (especially planners) and being on discord and meeting friends in RL. I also like board games and video games sometimes, but the ones above are my main source. Also meds ofc.

For me - and I guess Iām not alone - I feel like Iām balancing on a fence with the ups and downs of ADHD. I tend to fall either side HARD, so exercise and health kick becomes obsessive, but likewise if I fall the other side of the fence, bad habits take over and it can snowball. Forcing myself to get my ass out for a run if the only way I can correct myself if Iāve fallen the wrong side of that fence. Good video, thanks and a new sub :)

I just want to start by saying I absolutely loved this video and am so appreciative of what you are doing here with your channel. Thank you for making this kind of content, the world(we ADHDers) need/needs it !
-
Pro tip - drink green tea instead of coffee/energy drinks. Start intermittent fasting. Play background ASMR when your brain needs to relax/or is bored.

L Tyrosine is an amazing amino acid that literally helps rebuild the neuro transmitter to a better state than when you were a kid.
