do I have ADHD well I'm about to take a test about the ADHD symptoms so make
sure that you stay tuned so we can find out together everybody this is Chris
from the rewired so where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution
yeah today I'm gonna take an ADHD test so
it's still Mental Health Awareness Month be sure to share this video let's
increase some awareness a lot of people struggle with ADHD so this is kind of a
big deal but anyways I do with this struggle that I could dedicate a whole
video to I read a lot of mental health books right and one of my fears is that
reading these books makes me think I might have symptoms of a mental illness
which really trips me out I was talking about girlfriend about it but it's one
of the reasons why I'm gonna start using better help for online therapy and if
you want to try better help make sure you use the link down in the description
below but anyways like learning more about ADHD like I'm like wait I do that
I do that and I do that so I decided to take a test online which is by no means
like a diagnosis this involves seeing a professional and things like that so I'm
just gonna kind of get any of the symptoms so let's do this thing
alright so all I did was hop onto google and type in ADHD test and the first one
came up from psych central pretty legit website so let's see how this thing goes
I am a 32 year old 33 next month male alright so newly diagnosed no one how
often do you have difficulty sustaining your attention while doing something for
work school a hobby or fun activity example remaining focus during lectures
lengthy reading or conversations so like for example right now I
was just in class I'm doing online courses for a certified alcoholic drug
counselor and my mind was like all over the place I'm checking the phone and
stuff like that but this is one of the reasons I meditate because it helps me
acknowledge when my mind is wandering and going to other places so I catch
myself no more often now even though I catch myself it doesn't really mean that
I'm always going to pull my attention back sometimes I'll let my brain go and
do its thing so let's say I'm not gonna say often I think that would be an
exaggeration alright so number two how often are you easily distracted by
external stimuli like something in your environment or unrelated thoughts this
is a thing like I get hyper focused on things and that's like when something
pops into my mind that I really am passionate about or I really want to do
like I have to do it like I'm really interested in how much that plays into
addiction as a whole because from what I've been reading people with ADHD they
they get this like laser-like focus on something that gets their attention and
it's really hard to pull them away so I got this idea for a video I'm like
should I wait til tomorrow now I'm gonna do it right now so let's
see three how often do you avoid dislike or are reluctant to engage in tasks that
require sustained mental effort or thought never doesn't entrust me I might
avoid it but like most things like I'm there alright how often do you have
trouble listening to someone even when they are speaking directly to you like
your mind is somewhere else I'm gonna go ahead and say rarely I'll be honest it
depends on the person the person but something I practice a lot is mindful
communication to connect with that person I have clients who come in and
things like that whiney who need to talk with me and sometimes about serious
stuff my girlfriend I try to give her as much of my attention as possible even
though sometimes I pick up this thing while we're talking but like my son
I'm really bad about it and I feel awful but like again I'm mindful of it and I
try to give him my full attention but he's nine years old and sometimes he
just goes on and tells he's like really irrelevant stories of my mind starts to
wander but anyways Dylan if you ever watch this I'm sorry
daddy's working on it number five how often do you have difficulty in
organizing and an activity or tasks needing to get done poor time management
to meet deadlines difficulty managing sequential tasks I'm gonna say sometimes
instead of often like only because fails to meet deadlines I'm a huge
procrastinator still but I do not miss deadlines like it is extremely rare the
way I manage my hectic brain and racing thoughts is that I'm an organized mess
but yeah time management of stuff I've been talking to my buddy Kayla from the
YouTube channel panko bunny about doing calendar blocking and like I'm trying to
do calendar blocking on Google Calendar so I have better time management but I
haven't found the time to do this thing that will help me manage my time so
hopefully I'll do that this week alright number six how often do you fail to give
close attention to details or make careless mistakes and things such as
schoolwork or other activities I'm gonna say really never because I'm not perfect
but but yeah like that's one of the biggest reasons I practice mindfulness
like so many of us like we were just forgetful or we're not paying attention
and things like that we don't follow instructions now I will say my
girlfriend harps on me because I skim I skim a lot of things but when it comes
to like tasks I'm really really focused on making sure that every piece of it is
done for example is something I teach my son when it comes to Legos like so so
many things in life are about following instructions
so I'm gonna say really all right number seven how often do you forget to
do something you do all the time such as missing an appointment or parent paying
a bill rarely very rarely you know what oh this is only 2 part 2 or 3 ok
really really really um I have managed to set up reminders for myself I'm a
very forgetful person I've taught some of you about this in other videos I
forgot which one sorry but anyways I see lies my cell phone a lot like when
somebody gives me information to do something I almost immediately put a
reminder of my phone so I don't forget about it I suggest you do that too if
you're forgetful no but how often do you lose misplace or damaged something
that's necessary in order to get things done really your phone wallet keys now
no you know what never I'm going whenever like I am very
systematic with important things like I have a pocket system you know phones in
this one keys in that one wallet in the back pocket right don't try to mug me by
the way but anyways I have a system and I always do a pocket pack before I walk
out of the door because all right I'll switch to rarely because I have now been
locked myself out of the house I do my best to always do like a pocket pack how
often do you have trouble following through on instructions are failing to
finish school work toys or duties in the workplace you start task but quickly
lose focus and are easily sidetrack I'll do sometimes like I don't know but is
that really ADHD I avoid doing stuff that I don't want to do
I think a lot of people do that but yeah alright so number 10 how often are you
unable to play or engage in leisurely activities quietly what never what
that's a weird question I don't know maybe I guess I don't know I just can't
imagine like doing leisurely activities and making a lot of noise let's see
number 11 how often do you have difficulty waiting your turn such as
while waiting online never never I love waiting in lines well wait in lines
that's what I'm replying to all your YouTube comments and DMS and emails and
all that stuff like put me in a line alright or a good book go to the DMV
number 12 how often do you feel like you're on the go
acting as if you're driven by a motor example you're unable to be or wait
you're unable to be or uncomfortable being still for an extended period of
time such as in a restaurant or a meeting ah rarely I don't really get
fidgety I could sit somewhere forever my main problem is just getting tired
that's the main issue but if I stand up like doing like a lecture or something
like that it's because I'm tired it's not because I need to like you're like
move around 13 how often do you leave your seat in situations when remain
exceeded has expected like that's almost the same but like I was gonna answer it
based on like what the test is wanting or not wanting like I do but only when
I'm tired I don't get fidgety so 14 I'll have to do blurred out an
answer before question has been completed its no no no I'm gonna say
never like today never lie again mindfulness man if you're getting
anything from this video stop practicing mindfulness like it happens a lot why I
get the urge I get the urge like when somebody's talking slow and I'm in a
while or if I just wanted to get to the point
like I'm mindful of getting this urge to do that and I restrain myself and let
them finish because I don't like getting interrupted do you know of course not
so I restrained that urge now if that was a question about the urge to do so I
say often all right last page how often do you
feel Restless like you want to get out and do something sometimes it's not
really get out and do something but I do I do have a problem like just sitting
back and relaxing um and I don't know how much of that would be related to
this or just my workaholic mind satellite it's very hard for me to just
sit down and watch a movie with my son or with my girlfriend it's
really fun for me to just sit down and read Ella it's hard for me to sit down
and meditate because even when I'm trying to meditate like my brains like
you need to go do something you need to go do work so not like get out but like
in yeah how often do you fidget with or tap your hands or feet or squirm in your
seat really how often do you find yourself talking
talking excessively I'm very long-winded I'm long-winded do you do all of you
understand how hard it is for me to not make each video 30 minutes I have to
shorten them just because of other people's inability to sustain their
attention but I'm very long-winded like if if you were ever in one of my groups
like when people ask me questions it is a very long answer like so people are
afraid of public speaking I used to be but like no like I love it like I always
have something to talk about like go check my livestream I'll link it up here
but I'll talk all day baby 18 how often do you interrupt or intrude on others
such as budding into their conversations or talking over whatever what others are
doing never that kind of relates to that other one
19 were several of symptom were several of the symptoms present prior to age 12
I don't know I did I did a lot of mind-altering substances let's let's say
no see I'm answering no as I feel bad I don't want to I check in with my brain
and I don't want to try to have ADHD you know what I mean like I've been
restraining myself in this me like yes often yeah yeah yes because another
video I need to do something about is when people are like trying to have
symptoms of a certain illness and like we need to really be mindful of when
we're doing that like it's okay to just be okay Douce do the symptoms of peer do
the symptoms appear in at least two or more settings yes all right score my
ADHD quiz you scored a total of 21 inattention subscale is 13 oh so there's
two different things okay so hyperactivity impulsivity subscale eight
so adult ADHD is 34 and up moderate ADHD is 26 to 33 ADHD possible see that's why
I made this video to see if it was possible ADHD boom we figured it out
ladies and gentlemen so yeah yeah that's interesting like I think this actually
maybe put my mind at ease a little bit like maybe I don't have it maybe I just
have a racing mind I don't know once I have some more fun so I am signing up
for better help online therapy again link down in the description to see what
I can do but until then I'm gonna keep on meditating to train my attention if
you have if you know somebody who might have some of these symptoms make sure
you share with them they might realize that they need to go get help
who knows helping others that's what we do but yeah if you like this video
