Getting Diagnosed with ADHD at 25: How It’s Shaping My PhD Journey (ADHD Awareness Month) 🧠
Getting diagnosed with ADHD definitely wasn’t on my 2024 Bingo card, but here we are! In this episode of Doctoral Diaries, I’m sharing the details of my recent ADHD diagnosis at 25, right at the start of my PhD journey at the University of Toronto.
In honour of ADHD Awareness Month and World Mental Health Day, I dive into my diagnosis appointment, the signs and symptoms that led me to seek help, and how this new diagnosis is impacting the beginning of my PhD. From struggling with focus to learning new ways to manage my studies, it’s been a learning curve-but one that’s helping me better understand myself.

I am so proud of you for sharing this personal, yet so so important moment in your life. It’s an honor and a privilege to be apart of your journey my love ❤
Amazing video 😊
3rd year Education PhD student here! Loving the vibes of the vlog 🫶🏽
Love the vlog &love mix with environmental politics I am also a politics master student but thinking next days to make content like vlogs genera more but I am afraid abit But I love the vibes and all the best in your PhD journey ✨
Haha omg that must've been such an embarrasing interaction regarding the library's high security measures. Your scale also was very valid, I do think I like the vibe of Emmanuel because I love historical archiecture and more dark academia vibes.
thanks for checking out this video 💌 let me know which library is your favourite and/or where you’d study?!
Very exciting Vic and congratulations on starting your PhD! I’m applying for a social sciences PhD at UofT this fall so it’ll be interesting to learn more about your experiences in future videos. PS noticed Padlet in the tutorial, I’m sure your students liked having a interactive class
Hi Joseph! Thank you so much for your kind words 💌 Congratulations on your decision to pursue your PhD; that is huge! I am planning on making a video about the PhD application process soon, so maybe that will help. Hopefully, for now, my other videos can give you a taste of what it's like to do your PhD here. It's a pretty incredible school with lots going on all the time. It's exhausting but also rewarding! I appreciate your support :) P.S. I love Padlet and appreciate you noticing that!
Really enjoyed the clips of the "Behind the Scenes of TAing", I am going to have to TA a class or two soon myself and the idea seems so nervewracking! So cool to be able to hear you introduce your research to others, I find the idea of Environmental Law super fascinating even though I am more of a WGS, Sociology & History person myself. ALSO THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING WHAT A FELLOWSHIP IS! I am only in undergrad but I have heard about it a lot, so you explaining it was so helpful. Final comment is I love your 🏳🌈 glasses
Totally, TA-ing can seem very intimidating, but it can also be so much fun! Remember that you always have something unique to add to the conversation and that students are excited to have someone who can help them understand the material they learn in class. Haha, I always get self-conscious sharing my interests because I know they can sometimes be niche to other people, but I also do love hearing how passionate people are about what they study. And hehe, thanks, they are my favourite glasses 🌈
Hey...I'm just about to start a PnD and so pleased to have found the channel. Good luck with the study
Hi Patrick! Congratulations, what are you studying? Also, thank you for joining me on my journey -- hopefully, through this community, we can go through PhD life together. Best of luck 💌
I am so glad to have had one of your videos recommended to me today because I am so excited to follow along and watch people be so genuinely themselves! I hope to get a PhD one day myself so thank you for doing this series. I am currently in undergrad for a Sociology & Women Gender Studies dual major with a History minor and am hoping to purse a PhD centering on Women's History one day...so basically just thanks and cannot wait to keep following along!
Aww, this has to be one of the kindest comments I have ever received!! Thank you for your support and for sharing a little bit of your academic journey with me. My goal for this channel is to really capture what it's like to go through a social science PhD program and also staying true to yourself while going through it all. Dream big and continue to go after that PhD (one step at a time, of course :)). You've got this 💌
This looks like such a cool and friendly environment to pursue higher education and also flourish!
It's definitely been a whirlwind and a lot to process, but I am super happy to be studying here and learning so much from literally everyone I come into contact with :)
This sounds so cool cannot wait to follow along on your journey!
Thank you for joining me on my journey; it means a lot to have your support <3
Yummy 😋

How old is he?
Romeo is 3 years old :)
Well you definitely know how to get subscribers. Surprised your husband is cool of you showing off with super tight shorts.
I can't wait untill I can have my Giant schnauzer puppy ❤️🐾
I am so excited for you, they are such special dogs 💌
My giant schnauzer’s name is also Romeo 🥰
This is so awesome and wholesome! I hope you and Romeo are well <3
We have a Schnoodle that likes to pee on everything in the stores other than that he doesn’t pee elsewhere strange. He’s definitely a hit with kids in the neighborhood everybody can’t wait to pet him and he loves every second of it
He's such a handsome example of the breed
please teach back at CLS 🥹❤️
omg the second i get an offer, i’m sold 🥹🫶🏼
I just sent my partial comment by mistake without completing it. I wanted to complete it by saying that I no longer see him. The last time I saw Zeus was this spring.
I love ❤ Moose. Giant schnauzers are pretty cool. A family down our street has one. I used to see it on a regular basis because they took him for long walks. It seems that they no longer do that. They used to also have an invisible fence in the front of their house. So, I would occasionally see their dog
My Standard schnauzer use to take my towel if I was in the bathtub or in the pool. He would run all over with the towel. Craziness 😂
Oh my goodness, that is adorable! I used to have a standard schnauzer as well and he was a chronic towel destroyer 😂
Hello, Romeo!
Hi Frankie 🫶🏼🐾
Those aren’t really pride cupcakes they are just rainbows but they look rly good!!
