I've already had a massive post about this before, but when I was diagnosed with ADD I had no idea how much of my life it was affecting.

Until I saw this video about 3 years ago, it shook me to my core, everything he said lined up and made sense now. I used to go by the name BallisticGe0rge because of my short temper. I always thought that was just who I was, but this explained it.

Edit - Here's the entire series of his presentation, anyone dealing with ADHD should definitely watch it.

One minute through the first video, this is amazing! I wonder what else is on youtube...

I lasted 30 seconds. Bookmarked it, and will never have a look at it again.

No joke I'm literally doing this with "History of the world i guess" right now. Maybe I'll watch it a few mins from now, but it's been on that list since it came out. Not sure what I'm waiting for. I loved the first one and all that Bill Wurtz has done. Maybe I want to preserve it because when I watch it that'll be it. Maybe I'm afraid it won't be as good. Maybe I'm torn between redditing, finishing work for a potential client, self-indulging in creating music only I want, and sleeping. Or maybe just depressed. Anyway I should go watch that.

Edit: Didn't watch it. Going to bed.

I lasted 30 seconds.

Depending on the streaming site, this sentence has very different meanings.

I can relate. That's why I have like 300 bookmarks and 300 unloaded tabs on firefox. The browser was slow as hell.

So I just downloaded Chrome instead but the bookmarks are piling up. Already got Opera ready just in case.

Jeez. It isn't that bad over here. Close some damn tabs man!

I'm a bit different on this one. I am genuinely curious about my disorder so sitting through that one video was a delight. The proceeding videos, however, well... those will definitely be watched later.

u/[deleted] May 30 '17

I watched the one you posted but than when I started watching the second one I got distracted even though it was really interesting.

Download it as audio, put it on your phone, or in your car. Listen while driving, running, or cleaning. Only way I get through things like this.

Damnit. Why haven't I thought about this... I literally been sitting the park the last three hours spacing out on clouds while listening to LBC.
