AnxiouslyBleh :
My anxiety was crippling until gardening. It was the magic cure. It also helps me function 🤣 I only use strains that help me, not hinder me though. Mild memory stuff is the only negative I have

Zy Monique :
I am able to process my emotions and think deeper and come up with some of my best ideas … it slows my thoughts down but it results in more productivity because I’m not doing 10,000 things at one

Interesting. I find that it helps with task initiation and being able to do “boring” chores. Cleaning especially!

Maeve :
I use gardening to drown out my overwhelming thoughts and focus and slow down what's happening in the present. I can act totally normal when I'm High and it helps me function better

I garden every evening around 7ish afyer work and dinner. I’m usually really wound up at the end if the day. So it relaxes me and helps me sleep

Supersize_mylife :
I was the best and most healthy version of myself with my mental health (social anxiety/GAD/ptsd/adhd) and physical health when I was a gardener. I was a sativa gardener and I was most active (lost 140lbs), worked out 3-5x a week, yoga/stretching everyday, happy, and was the most successful in my business and career. I’ve been sober for over a year and on pharmaceuticals for all of those issues I mentioned and I’m inflamed, I haven’t worked out, stretched, I’m frustrated all the time, my mind is running 25/8 (yes 25/8), can’t focus on 1 task at a time so nothing my ends of getting done and the lists goes on. I’ve been heavily considering letting the pharmaceuticals go and going back to gardening.

Shades :
When I garden I become very attuned to my emotions, my inner self. It becomes very easy to feel the emotions that usually get buried under the processing of other things and other‘s emotions. Yet the day after I usually don’t function well. I can’t well garden with other people as their emotions overwhelm me.

she.is.a.hippie :
I use gardening as incentive to get stuff done throughout the day and then I reward myself with it.

Anna :
The problem with my ADHD is that it makes me an “all or nothing” person. I can’t do things casually. Gardening isn’t casual for me, I’m reliant on it.

Love love gardening but it seemed to become the only form of dopamine my brain wanted 😩 Nothing else seemed to come close. Still love gardening but had to back off for a while!

Throughout my 8 years of gardening… at first, it improved my stress management and helped reduce (escape) my depression hyper fixation. Gardening paired with undiagnosed ADHD and my desire to live outside the box, I dropped out of college (1.5 year into gardening). After 3 years of gardening every single day, life circumstances placed me in a healthy living situation where I was able to quit gardening due to willpower for 1.5 years before deciding to go back to college. After half a year in a college living situation filled with garderners, I decided to pick up gardening again for a year. Due to life circumstances, I left the gardening life style for half a year and was finally diagnosed with ADHD (6 years into the gardening journey). I reintroduced it into my life again with a friend during a difficult season, in which I began gardening every single day again for another 2.5 years, in which I took periodic breaks for a month at a time whenever I deemed myself to be gardening too much. I am no longer gardening as of the beginning of 2025… this is not a story of addiction, but rather the time it took me to understand that gardening for me was a choice and outlet throughout different periods of my life. I allowed gardening to be my escape, hero, medicine, and life partner as it was and has always been a choice. As long as I’ve had the will to stop, I’ve been able to, but I also have come to understand that with my undiagnosed ADHD, for a long time, I felt like I needed to garden in order to naturally be myself. If this video is on your FYP and you’ve read this comment all the way through, you probably have commonalities or can empathize with my gardening journey. The true danger isn’t a plant, but rather the lack of self worth, hyper fixations of filling the voids in your life, and undiagnosed ADHD I’ve come to understand have led me to the worst habits and patterns of behaviors that I hope we can all learn to heal from.

Peace and Water :
I gardened regularly for 20 years before I was diagnosed. I struggle to do boring tasks like cleaning, grocery shopping, or paying bills without it. It helps me not feel resentment towards chores.

katie.adhd :
I’m so productive when I garden because my anxiety goes away and I just do the thing I’m overthinking BUT my memory is trashed

Taryn Newborne :
You’re right. Sleep is better and anxiety is down but memory and focus are a struggle.

embarrassedmillenial :
It actually helps with task initiation because my brain can slow down and pick a task 🤷♀️It also helps me unmask, but I’m not sure how to articulate that!

Jessica Turner :
I have been gardening daily for almost 5 years. It helps a lot with my anxiety and ability to focus for long periods of time. However, I can’t help but feel like it’s also making it harder to gain clarity on my path. I’m trying to start a business but I just feel stuck. My consumption of garden has become almost ridiculous and I would love to slow down, if not stop. The thought alone though fills me with panic

I have adhd and garden at night occasionally I garden during the day on the weekend and it actually motivates me to putter around to get my chores done and in the evenings for pain relief and sleep
