How to Treat ADHD [Without Medication]

Me zoning out while watching this.

I workout at least 3 times a day and it helps but it doesn't help that much. This is what worked for me: 1 - Workout. 2 - Cut sugar. 3 - Have a sleeping schedule. 4 - Put phone in a phone jail. 5 - White noise or study music with no lyrics. 6 - Force yourself to read every day. It doesn't matter what you read, just force yourself to read and if you catch yourself wandering then go back and read the paraghraph again and read slowly. 7 - Avoid stuff that are short in span like tiktok.

I always had an urge to write, draw and workout. I didn't realize it was actually the cure to my freaking ADHD.

Tired of constant procrastination since childhood. It’s time to acknowledge my issue and finally get help!

1: do exercises that stimulate your cerebellum (little purple blob round the back of your head, looks like a second brain). These tend to be exercises that practice balance. "Zing preformance" is a program he gives an example of 2. Marry the right person 3. Find the right job 4. Learn as much as you can about your specific flavour of ADHD and figure out what your strengths are, look at your ADHD through a strenghts lens 5. Find a creative outlet that isn't too easy and isn't too hard. e.g. start a business, cook, draw, write Did I miss any?

I got diagnosed with ADHD years ago. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my husband which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with ADHD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Does anyone else here use coffee as a stimulant but also feels they should quit due to bad anxiety issues but also needs the coffee to stimulate and focus and reduce depression but also the coffee is bothering ur anxiety? Cuz me too

I hate my adhd, I have so many things that interest me, but always loosing focus, and then get bored and start getting mad at myself 😪 I feel that it's gotten worse for me from 20 years ago 😪 I'm trying to get back to working out, but it gets hard at times. I wish I had an actual coach by my side to keep pushing me 😪

For me ADHD mostly affects my memory. Whether its tasks, names, basic maths or basic knowledge about the world. No matter how much I try to focus on remembering things it just slips out of my mind. I am assuming my working memory is pretty weak and those things that cant stay in the working memory for a litle time obviously cant go the long term memory. People think you are stupid and doubt your whole academic life with good results. It sucks! Can anyone relate?

Ive had adhd since childhood. Tried treating it once with focalin and stopped after about a year because of terrible side effects (serious anger management issues). Exercise helps a lot, I can personally attest to this. The approach i use is to work out in the morning (run or calisthenics), and to then immediately do the most difficult thing I need to get done for the day, and it has helped me tremendously.

I create new businesses all the time, it’s so tiring having so many ideas but can’t focus on anything...

SO THAT’S WHY I HAD LESS ADHD SYMPTOMS AS A KID!!! I literally did standing on one leg with my one eye close as a game by myself! I’m so happy to find you thank you so much for sharing 💜💜💜

I'm still flunking school. Also, while I'm typing this I'm supposed to be doing late work :(

For me one of the hardest things is the constant hopping from one "hobby" to another, I'm 45 now and as you can imagine I've spent a fortune on pianos, metal detecting, cameras etc. It's hard when family members mock instead of being supportive of a new interest, yet totally understandable that they would pick up on the fact that it will only last a few months. I can't seem to come to terms with the fact that I will never commit myself to one thing and exel and it makes it hard to understand myself. All this and I'm still going through the system trying to get a diagnosis, so far I've had a eupd and autism assessments and now I know it's adhd with anxiety and depression. This months mixture of endurance running and stone tool making is keeping me going, haha. Much love.

My husband has gamed all of his life. He's had one hobby and neglected any others or simply didn't try. He was diagnosed at a young age with ADHD, but I didn't believe it for a long time. You were spot on about finding the right spouse. I can't imagine him being married to a woman who despises him for his traits. I'm working overtime now, trying to help him cope and adjust without medications or professional help. It's very hard and we can't afford it really. There's much to consider. I'm brainstorming over ideas. I don't think he can even do this right now. So, it's left up to me. He just quit an addiction and has ADHD. I'm hanging onto the LORD for hope and answers. My son is showing symptoms of ADHD too. Thank you for this video.

And now I understand why balancing poses are my favorite poses in yoga, the only ones that make me focus so well and become so calm and clear. This helps me realize that I don't need to question why other yogic principles don't always work for me

Ah yes, watching the whole video without knowing a single thing he said from lack of focus on the video

"find your right difficult" this is my new favourite phrase! Thank you! I have always spent a lot of time gaming because I find the challenge/reward appealing, I'm finding myself at a point where I'm not enjoying it anymore, I feel like I need something a bit more physical and maybe something with a social aspect aswell, my mental health isn't great at the moment but I'm seeking professional help, I just need to find some good coping techniques while I wait for my appointment

This is spot on. I have known this about myself for decades ... the magic is finding the right level of daily difficulty...

When he said “the right difficult” it really hit me, because that was my answer in an audition when I was asked if I like challenges. My answer was “yes, but not the ones that are too difficult” and I always thought it was a stupid thing to say and didn’t make sense. But it does now ❤️
