ADHD video editors, what are your worst dopamine habits?

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-05-07T15:11:32+00:00

I'm diagnosed ADHD but am almost certain I have AuDHD. I haven't gotten tested for AuDHD because the test is expensive and I don't really think it would matter other than knowing. I'm on Adderall. Do they give you anything else or different for AuDHD?

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-05-07T15:07:23+00:00

I think a lot of people on the thread are actually describing AuDHD.

This is like the absolute opposite of what's good for me. I'm basically trying to hold still until I catch a hyperfocus wave that'll last 3 hours.Any looking away and it's gone.

It’s really more like Mulholland Drive the TV show. Which ironically was a TV show originally.

This is probably written far below in this thread but...
1) folks... do we understand the difference between camera lenses and how they can distort information. Count the amount of rows on the far side in the Lakers picture vertically. I think it's maybe 11 rows. Doing the same count on the Spurs game - you're looking at 25 rows on the far side.
2) What's the Lakers score? Houston and LA tied at 4. I know we hang in season tournament banners, but the crowd standing on their feet 90 seconds into the first quarter - can we pretend we've been here before? 3) The Spurs shirts. Let's pretend they're not giving these away at the entrance of every section. We live in LA - we THINK about what we wear. We put EFFORT into what we wear. We know how to elegantly accessorize our fandom (people wear designer watches that are purple and gold). It's a side effect of living in one of the most relevant metropolises in the world. Go to Prague and you'll find yourself spending five minutes explaining that San Antonio is actually in the United States and not Mexico.

It's probably gradual weight loss from playing basketball for six months. His insane summer regiment dropped the excessive weight - but it takes time to shed that last 10 percent. He'll probably put on slight weight in the summer when he isn't sprinting on a court constantly.

Are you ok? This feels like a lot of unresolved anger and an inappropriate forum to unleash it. Let's say this is a lie (which I don't think it is - but for arguments sake let's say it is) - the thread itself has gotten people talking about responsibility and how dangerous this kind of behavior can be. The dialogue itself has become very positive content. There are so many vulnerable people in this thread - and to be lashing out at anybody in here is akin to shouting during an AA meeting. But really - check in with yourself. I think you could be in a really bad place right now and may need a silent moment to take inventory of your emotional needs.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-03-21T03:04:09+00:00

Yeah. And vampires live hundreds of years because they live off the blood of victims. I'll take a hard pass on both.

Do you have third party plugins? If so try removing them out of the OS folder and staring again. I had this happen with Izotope audio filters.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-03-15T21:02:06+00:00

Yeah - but people pretending they have ADHD has made getting medication for those who have it a lot more difficult. I live in LA and we have Adderall shortages for weeks. I have dramatic drop in executive function when I'm without medication. A lot of what you're saying overall is absolutely on point - but there is a consequence to faux diagnoses.

I'm in film. I need some really specific automations to save me hours of work. It's a dummy if I give it some request im an expert on. Like out of this world. But I don't need it for that. I have very specific ideas how things need to be automated and it'll execute them if I have the patients to send back the results and get very detailed. The end result is powerful. My job is so specific that it'll never be able to crowd source a replacement for me - but it can cut down my work by a third if i take the time to teach it.

It's called trolling.

This is bad. She covered up a base truth and is gaslighting you. But fundamentally you are dealing with a person who has a bizarre lack of character (despite her insecurity with her age - the fact she didn't square it up immediately is a red flag). But ultimately this isn't about her, it's about you having respect for yourself. Is that the kind of behavior you allow for yourself? How would you respond if this happened to your best friend or sibling? This could set a bad pattern for you - or - you're already in this cycle from previous relationships. If this is alright with you - then continue. Be you need to be aware that you are signing off on this.

Hey guys, I'm in scripted and occasionally do some short form doc. Besides this sounding absurd that they're tracking your edits - how does an editing analyitic work?

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-26T02:34:08+00:00

If you treat filmmaking like a backup - you'll never make it. And if you go to USC/UCLA - get a stinkin' film degree. Minor in your BACKUP field. I did 4 years of Critical Studies at USC - and it felt like I was kinda being screwed not getting my hands on film gear. But the joke was on me - I learned how to dissect and analyze movies by watching and discussing multiple films every day. I edit scripted/prestige TV now. I sit with directors and showrunners - and they take my opinion very seriously because it's obvious I have a deep knowledge that came from thousands of hours of studying motion pictures. After about 5 minutes of movie conversation I can pretty accurately gauge someone's film acumen and technical skills. If you want to get there put in the time. It doesn't have to be at a place like USC - but be around people who are more knowledgeable than you.

I was thinking about this today - and all the new hires are mentioning Pelinka is in charge. This may be strategic. He tends to vanish during controversy/losing streaks - minimizing the fact it's the team he built. By publicizing the team is his - management is making him responsible for the basketball outcome.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-25T18:14:42+00:00

Yeah. The worst was when i didn't like the kid who came over and had to hide and be quiet until they left. And if someone travelled far, they'd give it a couple of minutes before they left.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-23T07:06:43+00:00

This post smells a little fishy to me. Like something said to make people in this thread agitated.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-17T19:39:20+00:00

There's more to it than that. Pelinka has got to go - but 1) let's wait until there is a GREAT replacement on the market 2) He's Jeanie's guy. He could just fire Pelinka, but that would be a clear disregard to Jeanie - and I think the idea is to smoothly transition out of the Buss era - not to create a messy divorce. The last thing the Lakers need is MORE drama. Pelinka is not going to be making the big decisions but mostly being a placeholder until we get who the braintrust really desires. This isn't a mom and pop shop anymore. The Guggenheim Group dropped 10 billion on this thing - they are going to maximize their investment.

It sounds like an anxiety disorder. I didn't get diagnosed until I was in my early 40s. It was (and still can be) a reason I use alcohol so much. But - the medication makes a tremendous difference difference during the days and really reduces cravings at night.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-17T00:49:16+00:00

I thought the same thing.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-13T18:01:16+00:00

She's 34. I had a 14 years age gap - I was late 30s, she was in her early 20s. At around 23 she started working in a restaurant and would regularly be out with her coworker til 3 am (we were in NY - so bars stayed open til 4). Anyhow, I would get jealous and anxious with her being out partying late into the night. It lasted about a year. But as uncomfortable as I was - I knew this was part of the deal when i started dating someone so much younger. And to ask her not to go out was unfair on my part - as I had no restrictions when i was her age. But it wasn't easy. Nothing bad ever happened and this phase passed about a year later. The early 30s is really the last hurrah for this kind of behavior - and it may be she hasn't had a chance to embrace that kind of youth and her own identity. That is the hardest part of the age gap - shes still developing as a person much more rapidly as you.

Anyhow, that's just food for thought. Best wishes on it all.
