thank you this made me feel a little better

does anyone know what kind of headphones is in the video, and if they're good/comfy. i need to find a good pair for combating sensory overload. thankssss ❤

I am offended! As I watch RUclips shorts on TV, scroll my phone, and turn in my iPad 😂

I thought for sure they were going to introduce a new speaker as Cayde or Crow could hear the traveler but I guess they don't need to now

Thats normal 🤦

Thats same for me with "Painted Bird" by Billy Vincente

Fr lol

I cried today like 4 times because i just couldnt stand myself any longer Normally id laugh it off "oh silly me" but this yime it was too much, i was already running late and looking for things adter things, and i jus bursted out crying after looking for another syupid thing when i found it and it was gone again in like 2 seconds "Youre so shitty you cant even take care of this ONE thing that is superimportant to you. I guess its not that important" sometimes i just cry when i think that people could be feelin😮g theyre not important to me just because i cant remeber about them as much as i would want to.. I dont understand how people can think that this is the trend now How could anyone want this...

Wanted to say "Don't cry" but then thought.. Cry as much as you need girl!! Then we will get some good random thoughts, stop and then will continue to try our best! ❤️❤️❤️(Even if people don't think it's our best, people never want to understand adhd) I understand you, we will figure it out!!!

You're doing great though, keep going!❤

Yessss

Pls dont cry 😢

Fr like i literally listen to lovefool on repeat and just like walk around my room

I just burned my omlette because i forgot i needed food to survive for an hour

SO REAL

well if taking the meds allowed you to utilize your potential then it's great for you. As for me, I can't take any meds because it's bogging down my potential so hard that it's impossible for me to even just play videogames. I got like my brain got reset whenever I tried to work even a small bit because my brain functioning higher than the meds allowed. So I just have to deal with ADHD and live with it. After I learned more about myself, my potential improved a lot more than I ever imagined. Well it's not easy, it took me at least 5 focused years to adapt into my nature.

😭😭

Im exactly like this

I have ADHD and love being surrounded by 3 different screens on the couch - but I don't quite know why either 😂

I have a meeting/interview with a doctor about my possible ADHD come late July. Its been super interesting hearing your process and its also helped me a lot so thank you!

ADHD tax! ❤

This sounds like my entire life. Big big big HUGGG. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💖🤗 It does get better. It's hard because every person who has ADHD might be different. Some people it might be more severe than others, or maybe some of the things they struggle with might be a little different. It's easy to think why can't I do this? It's invisible. You know something is there, because it keeps happening and you don't know why. It makes you feel crazy, but you are not. Meanwhile society gaslights you. They make you feel it isn't real. Because they can do it, they don't understand why you can't. And how can you explain something you yourself don't understand. And then you're whole life, it feels like all you hear from everyone, is what you can't do. What's wrong with you? Why don't you just do it? There is nothing worse that having a disorder. Thinking you are just like everyone else, and not understand what is happening. Then when you do have a reason, no one believes you. Or if they do, they are understanding for a little while, but then still don't understand why you can't do this thing or that. It's no wonder there is people pleasing and sensitivity to criticism. A regular person gets negative feedback once in a while. But with ADHD, the things keep happening and you can't stop it. And you don't know why. And all you hear from parents, teachers, bosses, it's like what's wrong with you? It's not helpful. I have tried different things over the years. I am going to have some videos to share things that have helped me. I am a little overwhelmed and not sure where to start... But just know, 1 you are not alone. 2, you are not crazy. And 3, be flexible and patient with yourself as you try new things. We are perfectionists, and we have pain from so much failure, we don't think we can ever do it. So sometimes we expect to do things and not fail, and if we do it's actual failure. But it's not, it's part of the process. Think of it like, when new year rolls around and everyone makes huge resolutions to do these big things. Like overhaul their diet, working out ... They have a vision of themselves doing everything... But then they fail and get discouraged and give up. Well, they didn't fail really, they just had unrealistic expectations. So maybe instead of taking all the classes, going to the gym everyday, getting hurt or exhausted and making it so hard that they give up. Maybe just go for a walk for 5 minutes. Then maybe, next week make it 10. It is super frustrating doing it that way, and it takes a lot longer. But it's much easier to keep at it. And then eventually, maybe that person can get fit enough to be able to start taking dance classes and going to the gym. And especially us, we just expect failure. Because sometimes it feels like all we ever know. Then when it happens it's so painful and crushing. And you can feel even worse and beat yourself up, or spiral. It's a process. If you have insurance and can get a counselor or an ADHD coach it could be very helpful. Because each week you see them, they can reflect to you where your expectations are too high, and help you steer the boat that you feel you have no control over. Baby steps. You got this. 🤗🤗🤗💖 I hope this helps in some way! 💖 You are not alone.

What’s your ADHD pills experience?

Thanks for sharing! 😢

I was diagnosed at the age of 39, and just like you said, so many things started to make sense. I work as a developer and it can be a struggle sometimes. A lot of times...

Thank you for sharing your experience! It really helps me understand the whole process. If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you spend to get a diagnosis?

I hope your ADHD journey goes smoothly❤ best wishes from Canada! If you like this video, here are some other videos from me that you might like: ruclips.net/p/PLCO31JzRU6foCOf5u4_e9Qt_rCvinwmwP

Thank you so much. Made me cry but ended it smiling.

Real

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not me watching this at 2am instead of studying for my final exam 💀 I searched "how to cope with adhd" initially then got to like 500 other topics and I am back :)

Nearly 23. I wonder what could have been if I'd been diagnosed and medicated properly earlier in my life. Or even just born without this genetic disorder in the first place. There is depressingly little to aspire towards

So proud and relatable

My adhd life in 10s😂

Wow. Thanks for this.

Hey! I also have ADHD, and very recently started an office job thinking "This time I want to be able to put in the effort and really do a good job, fit in, and feel proud of the work that I do", only to end up staring at a computer screen for hours knowing what I need to do but not able to get myself to do it. I would not be on my phone, I would not be reading anything or slacking off, I just sometimes could not get myself to do the task that was sitting there right in front of me. It can totally feel like you are the problem, which really hurts. It often feels like you are helpless and have no control over yourself and are doomed to either a life of failures and disappointment or a life of pain and boredom. The fear that I may miss achieving my dreams because of my own inability to get myself to do something is very real! I was serious this time though about figuring out how to do things right, and have had some success in feeling better and getting things done. Here are the strategies I've been using that worked for me (and probably will for you too) Meditation - Meditation has changed my life and outlook on the world dramatically. It lowers emotional barriers for me by helping me see them more clearly, and centers my presence within myself and the present, allowing me to move past whatever was blocking me in the moment. Often when I feel stuck at work I will take 20-30 minutes to meditate and then usually I feel refreshed and ready to start whatever task with the emotional barriers feeling much smaller or even trivial. I think it brings you closer to connection with what is true in reality. I try to meditate often, I can't always get myself to sit to begin, but when I do I never regret it. If you want to change your relationship with dopamine seeking, I think you may be amazed what small amounts of meditation can show you. Often after meditation I don't even want to engage in dopamine seeking activity, it feels nicer to simply have a clear head. It's not easy to start at the very beginning, but it quickly becomes more comfortable with time. You can even start with 10 minute meditations, the most important thing is to just do it. This is a really good guide in my opinion in order to begin your journey with meditation and mindfulness if you are ever interested: www.thetadprinciple.com/free-meditation-guide-0101adj.html SLEEP! People with ADHD always struggle with this because it is so important for us to function well but our condition makes it more difficult in so many ways. I have always struggled to get enough sleep, I couldn't get myself off devices early enough because of my dopamine seeking, so my sleep was always poor and delayed. I managed to mitigate the dopamine seeking with meditation, and replaced my device with reading a book that I am very interested in before bed. I often still stay up late, I'm still working on this, but I know if I don't meditate and read before bed every work-night, the next day will just be horrible. Managing my media diet - What you watch, read, consume DOES affect your thoughts, behavior patterns, how you see the world. Far more than you or I realize. Over time I've slowly identified what I've been watching on RUclips (I watch a lot of youtube, try to watch less these days) and taken steps to stop watching content that I felt was making me more apathetic, meaner or more judgemental, or generally unhappy. Meditation and mindfulness have helped by enabling me to actively realize how what I consume makes me feel, and whether I think either the content or the feelings are useful or not. And medication!!! We are seriously not made to fit into the box society wants us in, and although it sucks, if it's your personal goal to fit into that box better, or even just get things done for your own sake, medication is a tool for you to use in order to do that. My medicated days are significantly better than my non-medicated days in almost every way. Even among all these strategies, I still struggle often, it is important to realize that it will never be effortless for us, but we can still kick a lot of ass if we put in the effort. A lot of things you said hit me really hard, I am feeling the same way a lot of days. That everyone else around me is succeeding with what seems like little effort when it takes so much intent and focus from me every day. I definitely sometimes feel depressed when I am unmedicated. All that being said, I love that you are ending these thoughts with self-positivity and belief in yourself! That is how we live life!!! The first and often most important step to success is believing you can do it, that you can achieve. It's so important and awesome that you have a diagnosis, it's the starting point for understanding how we are different and what we need to succeed! I wish you tons and tons of good luck and happiness and please wish me the same in return :). P.S. when talking about something that makes you feel frustrated, we say it is "frustrating"

Great video! It sums up my experience as well. Glad you got diagnosed! It's a battle, but it's much easier to fight even the toughest moments once you know what you're dealing with, and that it's not your fault or character flaws, it's just the way your brain works differently from everyone else's. From that point you can finally start to unwrap all the layers and find yourself and your peace.

Don't allow your diagnosis define WHO and WHAT you are. Labeling yourself as an "ADHDer" just makes it sound like you are unhappy with yourself. Just live life :)

I dont think I have adhd but I relate

Ofc😮😮😮

25 and going through almost the exact same thing. Thank you for sharing your story.

thank you for sharing. I always feel that decisions i make are somewhat wrong, but when I'm in a better state of mind, they turn out to be quite good and i realize i shouldn't be so hard on myself and should love myself more

HELP I WOULD CRY IF HE DID THIS FOR ME 😭

1. Accept your limitations and stop stressing over things you cannot control. It's important to stop the internal melodrama and self pity: it's a feelgood coping mechanism that keeps you perpetually miserable (one example of melodrama is in your description "I hate.. I hate.. I hate.."). It's harder for us girls as we are naturally more emotional. But getting it out of the way is important so you can focus on what you can control. For example using various tricks to help you focus. Rhythmic music / pomodoro timers / gamification / focusing strictly on one thing at a time. If you lapse, whatever, try again. But stop stressing because it's not the end of the world :) Accepting and being conscious of your limitations might also stop you from projecting your bullshit onto your relationships. 2. Expectations does not equal duty. You don't need to fulfil anyone's expectations. Your only objective duty as a girl is probably to have kids and take care of your family/parents You might want to check out: - 'The subtle art of not giving a fck" by Mark Manson - 'Deep Work' by Cal Newport.

No joke lol

The biggest cringe I have seen

I still forget my best friends name and when I call her dude or bud she just gives me a look and says "...again?" Lmao

Just wha... what is this

Saying “neurotypical” and “neurodivergent” has to be the dumbest fucking thing ever. And making videos about it is a whole new level of stupid. I have ADHD, but that doesn’t mean I have to make it my whole personality.

Ok this is a crazy one So one day I woke up it was like 3AM right? I was going to the bathroom right? Tell me why my ADHD ass self Had to get like 29 packs of donuts before going to the bathroom 😂
