Any advice on dealing with ADHD related frustrations would be very welcome! Either leave them as a comment or feel free to email me @ ollieedquestions@gmail.com 👊
Thank you for your videos! Especially with rejection sensitivity it‘s really brave to appear publicly with such a personal topic! I was diagnosed this week and found a way for myself to stay in my workflow (for practicing music). I tend to forget what I was working on, especially over weekends, and notes don‘t help that much to really remember something. So i use a journal app and record short videos of myself explaining what I‘m working on atm. I try to get the excitement across that I feel for this exercise or technique that I developed. It really helps getting back in the state of mind that I had before the weekend and it makes practicing stuff over a longer period of time possible for me without losing track. It’s like being my own teacher.

I feel you 100%. Do you always get bombarded by thoughts? I work as a creative and I'm struggling with a blank mind often. Like I can't get into the topic or reach any level of depth. Btw, really appreciate your videos bro.
Hey man. If I’m alone, I’m completely overwhelmed by rushing thoughts - If I’m in a social setting, I will almost definitely have a blank mind from anxiety 😅 can’t win!
I did a dyslexia test back in 2012 at one of the peculiarities was with my cognitive functions. Above average long term memory and complex problem solving & creativity (building things and figuring physical objects out) solving below average short term memory and basic problem solving and repetitive sequencing….. it was explained to me as having part of my brain functioning at IQ120 supported by the other half functioning at IQ80. 9 years later I’m going through the interview stage with a psychiatrist for ADHD. Frustration in losing train of thought, forgetting what I’m supposed to be doing and/or getting distracted into other projects or subjects vid the bane of my life atm 🤦♂️. Keep uploading I’m finding your thoughts & reflections informative and very helpful, thank you 🔥🤘😎👍🔥
Someone who gave me private (semi therapeutic) lessons for school made an IQ test with me and I have the same results lol. I even said to him once "I think I have ADHD" and he just replied "kids with ADHD behave differently. Now I'm 27 and I find myself in so many stories of ADHD folkes
Oh boy! No mans land! What a trigger!! An important friend has actually made it her role over the years of conversations to keep track of my stories so when I go into no mans land, and get stuck, she’ll bring me right back to the path I diverted from! Our conversations now have been a lot more meaningful. Thank you friend for sharing that! It’s nice knowing that, that frustration was not who I was.
I resonate with you on multiple of the issues you stated. You’re not alone! I know knowing that doesn’t make it much easier and my brain won’t let me end this thought on a positive note for some reason. I wish ya well (there 😂)
Ohhhh dam. We’d be such good mates haha. I honestly can’t explain how much I relate to all this! 😢 I completely completely relate to you and all of what you’re saying, you aren’t alone! I get so annoyed with myself- currently trying to mop up several of my mistakes- failing to properly cancel a gym membership which now I have to pay a load of money in fines for. Failing to properly cancel gas and electric on our old property, I now owe hundreds apparently….I don’t even know if this ones my fault but history tells me it probably is. And the worst one at the moment is that I was certain when I read the DVLA website re. ADHD that I had to let them know I have ADHD. So I did. I honestly read it sooooo many times but it turns out now that I ONLY needed to tell them if my driving is affected, which it’s not, I’ve been driving well for a really long time. So I might well lose my license because somehow I can’t read things properly and miss important details. Urrrrgh, i feel so shitty today and I don’t know how to sort all this crap out 🤕
What frustrates me the most is that one day i may perform extremely well in certain discipline and in the next day i can barely do the basics like in skateboarding or even with videogames it’s embarrassing because one put so much effort into it and then you just can rely on yourself because body won’t respond properly
Neuropsychiatrist just started to investigate on this in me. I went for a visit because of total frustration with working memony being non existant. She thought it is in very high propability ADHD with traits of ASD. These mistake makings and forgetting everything are driving my co-workers nuts at the moment. Oh my what a ditch I found myself in again.
I booked the wrong date for a family celebration. Ive been hyping mhself up to ring work to sort it out but im so frustrated and anoyed at myself. I can sense a anxiety attack coming on.
Can you write down the key things you need to say? Jeez, even write an entire script if you need to, i know i have before! Tackle that monster before it grows any bigger. You got it
I have issues during conversations where something pops in my head like an hour later and bringing the topic back up when everyone else has moved on maybe because I couldn’t articulate it well at the time or something. But yeh that issue pops up alot
Loved your video. Made me laugh because getting frustrated over silly mistakes is me all over. I'm on 30mg and 3 months in. Definitely life changing. The only side effect is the frustration of those mistakes. But the positive outway the negatives.
Im so angry right now. I want to leave my home and rent a room somewhere. I cant clean my home, which mrans I cant find my meds and vitamins or anything important. I just cannot do it. Im an abject failure and I HATE INATTENTIVE ADHD.
Today I lost my experiment results, and searched three labs for them. I just could remeber when I took them, then the rest is blank. ADHD killing me in a LAB😢
Same here, before I forced myself to keep going no matter what. Being aware of it now makes me a bit anxious as I don't want to harm myself. How are you coping with it?
@@maximillian9926 what do you mean by hurt yourself? Normally I try to make a joke of the small things and laugh at myself, like twice yesterday I made a cup of coffee without putting any coffee in the cup. Bigger things like mistakes at work, I'm not sure how to deal with it . It's very stressful for me.
It's tough mate. I have a big diary/ note pad and I write everything down. What I've done and what I plan to do. Without it I couldn't do my job. I've had bad anxiety and panic attacks that have been rough. Meditation is a big help, headspace is a good app. And a good night sleep, may seem obvious ut it helps.
I am so frustrated right and angry because every little noise is bothering me while I am trying to study for an exam with adhd it is hard enough to study and my family keeps making noises all day long and when I got up stairs to take the exam where it should be quite then my dad starts being really loud and taking to my sister and I failed the exam and I was so angry I went downstairs to tell my family that I needed quite and peace while I was studying and taking an exam my parents blew up in my face and just the disrespect and my dad said I was getting him. I tried to explain how my adhd brain works and my mom is mad at me and won’t talk to me just because I said I need some peace then my dad said I he would give me quite after that and what do you know he comes upstairs and makes noise so I am beyond frustrated the little noises are too much while I study it is overloading me
🙏 🙏 It’s helping a great deal - I am calmer, more focused/productive and a greater outlook for my life. Without it, I can clearly remember the daily exhaustion of relentlessly being overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions. Life was much more difficult.
Maaaaaaaaaaan, same here. Amazing how things are so the same. Regarding those queues that you do to do the videos. Remembered that happen to me at work so much. After was looking at my notes and some key points had no idea what a hell they were doing there till after the meeting... Did those mention frustrations get a lot better with ELVANSE? Which ones you are still struggling, If I may ask..
For suuuuuure! To be honest, no, they haven’t.. it’s something that’s obviously a deep part of myself. I guess it’s a mixture of anxiety, irritation and whatever else! Definitely something I will have to work on for a while
Lol I'm the same. If I don't make notes, I forget. If I do make notes, I've got no idea what they mean because I write them in a rush, I can't listen and write at the same time 😂 Either that or I forget to even look at my pad to see if I made notes 🙄

Medication does nothing you are living on a see saw with meds for everything medication so called helps another aspect of the condition worsens it just makes you into a zombie 🧟♂️

Can relate to this sooooo much! Wish you all the best with the ADHD assessment 🤞🤞
Thank you 🙏
Issues with working memory coexisting potential for dyslexia ad other Neurodiverse conditions such as Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder.

This is me as well mate! These frustrations are what I deal with every single day. Just nice to hear I'm not alone in that. Thanks for the video!
Nope, there are more of us out here mate! Good luck on your journey!

Your canines are so pointy I am going to have to watch this all over again! 😂
😆😆😆 🧛♂️
What causes anger and fustration for me is the crap nhs service and if I was to relieve my fustration by taking a doctor hostage then I'm the bad guy.
Before my ADHD treatment, I used to get so frustrated and angry at work I am a lot calmer now.
That’s good to hear mate! 👍
I have issues during conversations where something pops in my head like an hour later and bringing the topic back up when everyone else has moved on maybe because I couldn’t articulate it well at the time or something. But yeh that issue pops up alot
For sure, I definitely have this!

Definitely! I think it’s because now my mind is quieter, I am more aware of the mistakes I make.

I have the same frustrations, they seem to be a lot worse since my diagnosis because now I'm hyper aware of my symptoms every time they occur.
Same here, before I forced myself to keep going no matter what. Being aware of it now makes me a bit anxious as I don't want to harm myself. How are you coping with it?

Great video and it’s like you read my mind! Meds have helped this for me but not enough to feel like NTs
It’s a long slow journey, right! 😅

You read my mind. I get so mad at myself for the same shit.. I just wanna kick my own ass.
Love your vids. How much is your medication helping you? Would you be so much worse without it?
🙏 🙏
It’s helping a great deal - I am calmer, more focused/productive and a greater outlook for my life.
Without it, I can clearly remember the daily exhaustion of relentlessly being overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions. Life was much more difficult.
5:04 😂 that's sad bro haha same here haha ADHD makes you a loser 😂 I have ADHD 😂
Anyone listening to it while cleaning room? Or it's just me 👋 ok. Room is so messy

Hey there, your video have been really helpful so thank you. Has medication helped you to become more articulate and to better explain your thoughts and ideas? I noticed you mentioned that you lose your train of thought which I do too but yeah, just like that as you can see with this message.
Did any of this get better with medication?
Medication does nothing you are living on a see saw with meds for everything medication so called helps another aspect of the condition worsens it just makes you into a zombie 🧟♂️
