Sometimes when my adhd makes it extremely difficult to do basic tasks I keep a toothbrush, toothpaste and a spit cup by my bed because I might want to brush my teeth but I just can’t go to the bathroom to do it. Maybe it’s a bit disgusting but at least I brushed my teeth. Trying to explain the feeling of not being able to do something to “normal” people is so difficult. “Just do it, it’s not that hard” and I just can’t do it and they don’t understand why.

Went to the doctor recently for my yearly but also requested a blood test cause of this, and everything was in the normal ranges but my b12 was very close to being lower than the normal range so my doctor said that could be the cause and I started taking supplements and I feel a lot better. Even if results come back “normal” it’s good for your doctor to be aware of concerns just in case that could point to it. Before I started taking b12 I could sleep 10 hours and still want a nap in the middle of the day and it was so frustrating cause I needed to study and couldn’t just stop everything and take a nap

I’ve never felt more seen than when Jordan said “I have to brush my teeth today of all days?? But I’m already sitting down.” Maybe it’s time to reevaluate how well my adhd meds are working 😅

Hey if its any reassurance, I am a fast drug metabolizer as well and have done a LOT of research on anesthetics during surgery for the same reason! I'm a trans man doing a full binary transition, so surgery has been a big part of my life the last couple years. I found out that the anesthesiologist monitors you for signs of distress (like increased heart rate, etc.) during surgery and if they notice any sign of anything out of the ordinary they'll give you more drugs. Your anesthesiologist would more than likely know you were starting to experience distress before you even knew. Of course, anesthesia awareness can sometimes happen, but your fast metabolism doesn't make it any more likely. There's an anesthesologist named Max Feinstein with a youtube channel by the same name, learning about anesthesia on his channel really helped my surgery anxiety. Now I can just look forward to my gender-affirming surgeries instead of being scared of them.

Same here. My psychiatrist wanted me to go through my old school reports to find some evidence for signs of ADHD in my childhood. From 1st to 10th grade, literally all of them mentioned some variation of "needs to focus and organize himself better" or "could perform much better if he concentrated more during class". It made decades of failure and sadness come into focus for the first time in my life.

First of all, as a person with adhd, i love the relatable adhd talk. And second of all, as a person with adhd, i love slurping up a bunch of bobas in the first few sips and chewing them up as a squishy little snack. Its so satisfying to me, its like orbeez cereal

I love that Jordan goes to therapy once in three months and now we all get free therapy from these conversations. I fuckin love it❤❤❤

When Jarvis was talking about the blood tests and how frustrating it is when they're good, I felt it so hard, and I also went: "it's the adhd" again and again, because it is.

The most annoying for me is the fatigue, because it's such a bizarre fatigue that can't be explained. I can't describe it to people no matter how hard I try, because the way it feels physically is just so weird.

Jarvis - this may sound wild but I also deal with every symptom you’ve talked about in this video and past ones where you’ve mentioned it and doctors don’t know what’s up. If you ever figure it out, that might be a victory for both of us. The only thing I’ve figured out with my fatigue is that it is almost guaranteed to happen when I have a stressful conversation, have a panic attack, or do anything that is clearly stressing me out. But fighting that fatigue and controlling it feels impossible. The guilt is so real. I run a small business and it has definitely been impacted by the fatigue as well as my part time job. I also happen to deal with the hunger right after I’ve eaten (makes me think that they’re linked) and that + my ED makes my weight fluctuate constantly. More than just wanting you to feel better, I have a vested interest in your recovery and love when you share your experience with it! We are in this together!!!

In the Marine Corps, they teach you that your body starts telling you to stop at like 70-80% of your potential so that you don't harm yourself, but that means you have potentially like 30% more to give if you just push past the warning signs and accept the consequences.

I literally screamed when you said "You, just you, Alex!" And had to pause to calm myself then you said "O'Brian" and that got me good. IDK why but it just startled me so much lol.

jarvis' discussion on fatigue is so familar to other people with chronic fatigue and pain, spoon theory helps explain a lot of fatigue. I can't go to a full day of school and then clean my room the same day, each of those by itself takes all of my spoons, and I i won't get any more spoons until 2 days after, when I've recovered. having constant pain means I need to weigh all of the chores and things I "need" to do, like see friends, go to school, clean my room, take out trash, wash my face, do laundry, I have to sacrifice the "less important" normal human activities for the "more important" ones.

All of my bloodwork, MRIs, and X-rays have come back normal. I have chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog. I also get the really awful blood sugar feeling. I've tested my blood sugar when I feel like that, and it is still technically in a normal range for non-diabetics. Speaking of diabetes, if anyone thinks they have diabetes, the four symptoms are increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. Doesn't matter how old you are. My husband was 24 when he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Knowing these symptoms saved my husband from ever experiencing diabetic ketoacidosis, which is life threatening!

I can relate a lot to what Jarvis is going through right now, too. But I couldn't help but laugh at "I've tried every stimulant on the market"

I saw that Boba Tik Tok and I showed all my friends and my whole family. That video was my life for 48 hours. I watched it so many times. Bobbas. It’s incredible

Hey boys! Nordic person note on the cold shower/water thing: it's not horrible and unpleasant when you combine it with a sauna. I know saunas are not commonplace on that side of the pond but still. It's very therapeutic, relaxing, and good for your circulation to do a combination of sitting in the sauna & taking a dip in some cold water (which doesn't have to be an ice hole btw)

Hearing Jordan and Jarvis describe the Spoons Model without knowing that that's what it is is really funny to me for anyone that doesn't know, it's the concept that you get a certain number of spoons in a day and that each task takes some of those spoons. Different tasks take different amounts for different people. When you're out of spoons, that's like your "action points" being spent for the day. (and no there's no reason that it uses spoons, it's just funnier that way)

i love how open both of you are with your experiences it feels so relieving to hear you speak on it and feel less isolated

I'm really glad you came out with the shorts channel. There are certain segments of the pod that I want to show people but I always have a hard time scrubbing around to the exact place.

This is my first sad boyz podcast and what Jordan said at 2:20 hit home hard. My life is improving vastly but the chemicals in my brain continue to malfunction. It feels like no matter how great life gets, there’s a massive weight on my shoulders when i try to enjoy things. I’ve been trying to reframe that feeling though, I try to view the undue emotional pain as weight added to an exercise. Life will never be perfect, but if i can someday lose the emotional weight I’ll be So much stronger.

"I'm not a fish that became a man! I'm not cursed by a witch!" is such a funny line and it sounds like it came straight out of Adventure Time

I really appreciate Jarvis and Jordan talking about their mental health. as someone who was recently diagnosed with ADHD after 22 years, it's extremely helpful to hear about their experiences and be able to go "hey that's me!" it gives me a way to understand my brain and a way to describe to my therapist what's going on in my head. thank you so much guys!

17:38 when will this fucking shortage end?! Like I went three months without my medication till I broke down and had to find some other pharmacy that had it. Since then my productivity skyrocketed. I feel you Jarvis

i love you guys for being so real. it’s easy to think everyone on the internet has it all together and all figured out. i have adhd too and the procrastinating and feeling stuck has been stressing me out so much. when you guys were talking about it it made me feel a little less crazy.

the first half of this video made me feel so much better about what i have been experiencing recently that feeling of wanting to do something so bad but your body wont let you is the worst feeling

It was awesome to listen to you both discuss ADHD struggles, depression, and mental health. Super supportive and comforting. The shame surrounding disfunction can feel so heavy. Thank you for sharing!

I love this community of everyone supporting each other through our mental health struggles ❤️

jarvis i'm feeling the exact same symptoms and have been for a while. i hope you get it worked out and for anyone else feeling the same, we got this!!

Really loved this episode! I related a lot to Jarvis and (from what I understand) the struggle to find the right medication and feeling bad all the time.

I ordered boba in Morocco and they gave me a normal sized straw so I had to drink it without... sadly the bubbles all stayed at the bottom until the end but it did taste fantastic (I only mention Morocco cause I was surprised to see boba there in general)

I love watching these two. Hands down the most interesting to listen to and their voices are 🤌🏼 soothing as heck. My favourite people to watch during the day by far

I also just went two weeks without my Vyvanse. I had a cold that's resulted in lingering fatigue, and come to think of it, I haven't taken my B12 or zinc (I'm so deficient that I have a dose you can't buy over the counter) in a couple weeks. It's been awful, but this makes me feel so much better hearing that it's not just me. I've been waking up at 9am at the earliest.

Going through a difficult time and been feeling pretty joyless. The Boba segment is making me laugh, and I really needed that. Thanks guys ❤

seeing jordan laugh so hard at that man was funny asf, i’ve been watching y’all’s podcast all day at work and it’s been keeping me off the socials which is a nice change:)

yall talking about your experiences with adhd is so insanely relatable in a way i cant even describe and its so ? crazy comforting and sad to know other people understand the constant, everyday fatigue i go through yk? its nice and Not nice at the same time

this has grown to be my fav podcast to chill and draw to. Cheering for both of you!!

Being in the middle of a Covid scare right now not having a definitive way to say whether I’m sick or not is driving me insane and supercharged my panic attacks again. I cannot tell you how therapeutic it is listening to you guys especially hearing Jarvis and having similar symptoms for the past few months as him. You guys rock so freaking much!!!

Jordan talking about his psychiatrist appointment reminded me that i haven't had an appointment in 3 months and i was supposed to email my doctor for an appointment 3 weeks ago 😭😭, i also checked and I'm running out of one of my meds in a week 😭 and i have to email my insurance because they still haven't reimbursed me for my prescription from 3 months ago. I genuinely want to thank you guys so much for reminding me I'm sending the emails right now👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 great episode btw

as someone with chronic illness/pain/fatigue, jarvis's story really resonated with me and i love how you both address just, not being ABLE to do things, and having to come to terms with it, and try to make it not affect your whole self worth. also, at 27:00 you both perfectly explain spoon theory 😂

Man, I’ve been struggling with a lot of the same things and hearing this is so validating. Like I want to do the things but my body’s like nooo we’re sooo tired!! Lay down all day instead!! Don’t do the things you like. Do nothing instead and feel bad about it for the rest of the day

The natural light was the first thing I noticed when y'all started recording in the new space, it's so nice!

I feel this episode so hard I’ve been adjusting my meds and it totally wrecked my shit. On the funny side I had a weird mixed affective episode where I binged sad boyz whenever I went out because my brain was convinced Jordan was protecting me from harm. I don’t know why I thought that but you know thanks for that Jordan I appreciate it. If I have to come off my concerta I’ll know where to turn.

This is so validating I'm crying and now I'm laughing through the tears. Just... thank you both. ❤

There are non-stimulant ADHD medications that have a lot less side effects. I had to switch to non-stimulant because of the side effects I was having

been really dysphoric and down today and seeing Jarvis's shirt made me so happy

I so so appreciate hearing people I look up to talk about mental health like this - especially relating to ADHD and guilt surrounding productivity. I identified heavily with what Jordan said in the beginning in realising how depressed he's been! I recently moved in with people that I love and changed jobs to something I actually enjoy, and yet I've felt like my entire world has been crumbling around me. I realised recently that because I'm now in a good place with a lot of the central parts of my life, I finally have opportunity to take up the time and space it requires to break down - after the years that it had been building up! I feel that since I've realised this I've been a bit more okay with allowing myself to be depressed. I hope that anyone seeing this comment will be reminded to allow themselves the time and space that it takes to feel - it's essential for all types of mental recovery

as somebody with undiagnosed adhd i cannot begin to describe how helpful and validating it is to hear you guys talk about your struggles. its truly a battle every day reminding myself im not just “lazy”

This video just autoplayed whilr i was just watching other sad boys podcasts but the damn comments abt adhd were so relatable god i love that

this podcast is honestly perfect to unwind to after a long day at work 10/10 episode

damn the appreciation i feel for these two just like. genuinely expressing their feelings & experiences. bc idk what i have but i for sure have some crossover with their experiences and it's SO validating to be like 'oh maybe im not just like. a bad person. maybe there are some other factors at play' lmfaooo

I was literally using this episode as background noise and motivation so I could get chores done then you guys start talking about never wanting to get out of bed

hi everyone! if your blood work looks fine but are always tired, lightheaded, pass out, ect. get tested for POTS. its relatively easy to even do a standard POTS test at home. it also causes ur heartbeat to feel stronger and crave salty food. i HARDCORE relate to jarvis when he was talking abt his health stuff. if you always feel like your blood sugar is low but its not ACTUALLY, look into POTS and it might explain a lot :>

i also have POTS and was thinking the same thing, plus a lot of people with POTS don't pass out at all but a lot of doctors just aren't educated on it so they won't test you for it unless you pass out, so you gotta like go to a bunch of doctors which sucks
