-
(humming a beat)
-
(trumpets rising in tone)
-
(surprised scream)
-
- You're back again, ha ha, I didn't think
-
you were gonna come.
(loudly chewing)
-
Popcorn.
-
So, you want to get in to the mind
-
of an ADHD'er. Hmmm. Yes I'm
-
eating popcorn through my vlog.
-
(loudly chewing)
-
That's rude.
-
You want to know what it's like
-
to be in the head of an ADHD'er.
-
First you have to make sure that you're
-
talking to somebody
that actually has ADHD.
-
You might be wondering to yourself,
-
How do you know if an ADHD'er is actually
-
an ADHD'er or an ADD or whatever
-
they want to call it because I'm not
-
really quite sure what the
-
differences are anymore.
-
If you've ever seen this person say,
-
"I'm bored," sure fire way not ADHD.
-
For an example, I look
at this piece of popcorn,
-
that just hit me in the face.
(laughs)
-
It's got all kinds sides, all kinds
-
of colors, all kinds of smells.
-
All of your senses are constantly going
-
"What the hell is that?"
and then you eat it.
-
The thought is no longer there.
-
Alright. That doesn't
really apply to anything
-
but that piece of popcorn was good and
-
it was a good excuse to eat it.
-
Perfect example right there.
-
We are now completely off topic.
-
I, in fact, do have ADHD.
(bells and whistles going off)
-
I was diagnosed when I was
-
younger and I tried Ritalin.
-
Ritalin didn't really do anything
-
aside of make me not want to eat.
-
I find that a lot of
the people that I know
-
that have strong cases of ADHD
-
also have OCD, which is
-
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
-
Here's an example of something that
-
I thought of when I was a kid.
-
I was sitting at the table and
-
I was watching a movie.
-
There was a piece of popcorn here,
-
and a piece of popcorn here.
-
(slide whistle playing)
-
Better.
-
There was two piece of popcorn,
-
do you think it would
bother anybody on the planet
-
to sit in-between two pieces of popcorn?
-
No, if it was two balls
of fire that were melting
-
your skin, okay you might want to move.
-
Me, on the other hand, it just drove
-
me nuts that there was no other
-
pieces of popcorn in the room and
-
I was sitting in-between them.
-
Secondly, I thought no big deal,
-
I'm just going to move over.
-
So I move over, then I realized the edge
-
of the coffee table is directly
-
in-line with my face. No big deal.
-
Or is it!?
-
It, in fact, is a big
deal and I'm not sure why.
-
But it's just one of those things that
-
comes with having OCD.
-
I think the part of me that has OCD
-
wants me to be more organized
-
but the problem is the ADHD part is
-
a lot stronger and forcing me to
-
forget that I was even thinking that
-
in the first place.
(loudly chewing)
-
Popcorn!
(laughs)
-
I intended to make this
vlog about something
-
completely different than what it is,
-
and then I decided to scrap that idea
-
because I thought it was
time to discuss ADHD.
-
I didn't want to be one of those people
-
on the internet saying I have ADHD
-
and not actually have ADHD,
-
so just to let you know I have ADHD
-
I actually have a letter from my doctor.
-
That's a receipt, but it doesn't
-
really matter because I can't really
-
show you it in person anyways.
-
I'm going to try to tell you, the viewer,
-
(horn honking)
-
Here's an example. I'm going to try
-
to tell...wowzers.
(horn honking)
-
I'm going to try that 19 times apparently.
-
(laughing sarcastically)
-
This was just a vlog that's going
-
to be insanely impossible to edit
-
because none of the ideas that
-
I had coincided with any other
-
ideas and it's just going to be
-
a rambling mess, it's not going
-
to make any sense at all, and it's
-
probably going to take me like
-
10 hours to edit it. Thanks a lot brain.
-
We'll see you next week.
-
For those of you that don't have
-
a youtube account, please make
-
a youtube account then subscribe
-
to the videos, then like the videos,
-
then rate the videos and all of
-
those things together will make me happy.
-
(intense drum beat)
-
And apparently make me
-
do a really long freeze frame.
-
(laughing and sighing).

(applause)
