PSA TO HEARTS & BRAINS:
I’ve been working on my bachelor’s degree for over 6 (very long, difficult, distracted) years. Personally, I always thought you were referring to us depending on WHAT we wanted to learn about (heart or brain) that day. & I know many “hearts” watch your videos which warms MY heart immensely bc growing up, people didn’t seek to understand my condition like they do now. & the stigma still exists but it’s slowly getting better. Anyway, when you said “a teacher looking to help their students” I literally broke down in tears bc I am studying to be a teacher & it really hit me that if I had had teachers that watched your videos, my whole educational experience in life would’ve been different. & just thinking of someone caring SO much about their students that they would study different teaching & learning methods to help them succeed is so impressive & honestly just beautiful.
Whether you’re a “brain” feeling like life is passing you by as you struggle through it...or a heart looking for a way to help your beloved brain, I am sending you MUCH love & patience.❤️
for real😭 I'm so glad there are places like this!
❤️🤗, everyone and anyone
YES!!!!
And there is a little brother of adhd its called a.d.d.
Hey! Just wanted to send you some encouragement.
It took me 10 rocky years to get through my bachelor's
You can do it!
@@JillianWestplate oh my gosh thank you so much 😭😭❤️❤️❤️🥲
The brain and heart art is freaking adorable.
glad you like it!! our team has been working on this for awhile :D
I was just thinking that
And I just adore the cheery, "hello brains" greeting!" Keep up the good work!
Mines too
YES
To those who already HAVE Audible -- this is your friendly reminder to listen to your audiobooks haha
I only have 70 in my library I haven't started
@@MrDrunkenLizard ...okay that's just IMPRESSIVE
Love you so much 😭❤️😭
Lol i have a bunch saved in my library app.
@@MrDrunkenLizard that sounds like me because I get a bit too enthusiastic about picking out books and i never get around to reading them
I’ve never thought about it like that, but managing a RUclips channel can be a way to stimulate your brain. It gives you constant goals and constant feed back from others, which helps you improve yourself.
legit. truth. helps me so much
@@HowtoADHD that’s so wholesome
Definitely! It keeps me from going "monkey brain" by having a project to focus on. I don't get so stuck in anxiety or depression when I am busy with my creative outlet of RUclips!
Anyone else see her on Anthony Padilla's ADHD video?? It was really nice to see her being interviewed by a big creator! Hopefully it brings more brains and hearts to her channel and promotes awareness~
I found the channel through that video!
I got hyper-happy when I saw her in the thumbnail. That interview was so good, and Jessica was as fantastic as always
Yep! It made me so happy
@@lumensapace Me too. Anthony's one of the good ones.
I love the more anatomically correct but still cartoon-shaped heart. So cute!
My father has ADHD, I have social anxiety and I’m pretty sure I have ADHD, and originally my dad showed me your Ted talk, and here I am today :)
Hello brains and hearts :)
I recently got diagnosed and I’m really excited to get medicated. Covid has made it hard. I’m glad that channels like these make it easy to understand what is different about my brain, and how to help it
Good luck I was diagnosed over 15 years ago and still haven't been able to receive proper medication. Unless you have enough money to see a specialist, you'll be stuck on antidepressants that don't work for the rest of your life
Not true. It's our own responsibility to advocate for our health. Using this channel as a tool, I was able to learn more about myself. Especially why I let doctors minimize my adhd related concerns. We have to stop and pick the important battles because if not, we can get misdiagnosed and mismedicated.
I swear she makes me love my ADHD more and more. I want to say thank you, Jessica; you are my favorite channel on youtube. It feels like every video was made for me. During COVID, I lost many friends, and since I am extremely social, it hurt me loads, and I had a severe spike in my anxiety and depression, but your videos helped me feel not so alone. My dream is to become a child show host and help kids like us feel accepted and help others accept them. I hope your channel is around for a long time; it really has been a saving grace.
I went in for an ADHD test last year and found out instead I was Bipolar 2, but I relate a lot to ADHD issues, so your tips definitely helps me a lot!
Why is nobody talking about what an amazing job Jessica did on the Anthony padilla adhd video
OMG I HAVENT SEEN THAT GTG
Link me that!!
@@At0micAllison ruclips.net/video/jICroNO55RA/видео.html here! im watching it right now :)
I started as heart, thought I was brain. Psych says I need to treat other issues before I can begin trying to get a diagnosis for ADHD. Pretty discouraged, but willing to keep trying. Rejection sensitivity is not fun.
I was also told the same thing by different therapists and doctors, that I couldn't get an ADHD evaluation or diagnosis yet. It was frustrating because I knew I had it and how it affected me, and I wanted it to be recognized and treated. Eventually, I was able to afford a neuro-psychologist consultation (700-1000$) thanks to my work insurances, and the neuro-psychologist gave me a diagnosis, individually identifying anxiety/emotional issues/ad(h)d. I went back to college since, so the diagnosis is helpful for accommodations.
@@RoastedMarshmelon that’s like my ultimate dream, I’m not sure how possible it is, but I’ll eventually talk to my dad about “investing” in my brain. I hear it’s harder when you’re AFAB too. Fingers crossed, tho. 🤞
Ty for reaching out! ❤️
Adhdonline.com is a great resource if you can't afford to see a traditional psych for this evaluation! Also, don't be afraid to switch doctors to advocate for your mental health!!! I know I have adhd and will keep switching doctors if I have to. I'm not going to let them bully me anymore.:(
You, are fantastic, and a spirit of optimism and hope. I always got the, “brains,” reference. Part of ADHD is having the cognition of how it affects us, and we have to remember that. How about a video on successful, (Or famous) people with ADHD?
Technoblade is one of them. Idk if that's someone worth mentioning to you. He's one of the best minecraft players. Very good at player vs player combat and has won around 1400 bedwars in a row on the Hypixel server in minecraft. He also has beat minecraft hardcore with a steering wheel.
He defeated Dream, another amazing minecraft player - only he broke the speedrun record four times and is one of the fastest growing channels here on RUclips. Both Dream and Technoblade are favorites of mine.
I have a video of that on my channel! You can check it out!
I went to see my counsellor tonight and when I got their she reminded me it was tomorrow... I was thinking earlier today that my appointment was tomorrow then to night my ADHD head told me it was tonight... after 10 Mike journey ...
Yeah, that happened to me...
You’ve helped me so much with excepting my ADHD as it’s been hard being diagnosed at 18 and I’m girl so it’s been extremely difficult but your videos have helped so so much
Oh wow I’m in the situation! I got diagnosed right before I turned 18 and honestly this channel has helped me so much with understanding myself and how I work.
I hope this will be as useful to you as well as it’s been to me 😊
I'm so glad you were able to get diagnosed so young. I didn't know until after I finished my undergrad - at 35.
My brain has been making me a mostly bleeding, crying-assed heart recently anyway✌️❤️
PS i hope everyone's heads and hearts are okay today🙂❤️
Attention Disorders are crippling, I can’t live a normal life
Hiiiii I just got diagnosed with ADHD and you help so much!
Oh! For anyone who hasn't seen it yet -- check out this interview with Anthony Padilla about ADHD -- it's SO GOOD and I'm super happy to have been a part of it! ruclips.net/video/jICroNO55RA/видео.html
OMG! When you talked about realizing one is "so behind in life and running out of time" - my #1 struggle / preoccupation!! And, in addition to what I haven't done yet, the "fact" (society's perception, or just plain reality) that I'm "too old" now to do those things...
Anyway, thanks for expressing that anxiety & putting it into words!
I was halfway through when it gave me an error and was so sad lol. Glad you got it back up 💛💛💛
same 🙃
aw yep sorry!! I accidentally published the wrong version
@@HowtoADHD Honestly, that´s so relatable :D
@@HowtoADHD been there! :)
@@HowtoADHD sounds like something most of us adhders would do hahaha
I love audible, not only do I listen to books everywhere but mostly in the car, I have it connected to all our Alexa's.. every night my kids can listen to a story or a calming sleep meditation. We are a house of ADHD, I am a brain. My husband was a heart. When I was officially diagnosed at 36 the rearview mirror was finally clear. And I had the tools to plan a path forward. He was diagnosed a year later. Both our kids are like us. I have now become a heart as I am learning more to better support my kids. Looking forward to learning more on your RUclips channel and I have subscribed and turned on the bell!!
Julie
I started tearing up at the heart and brain together graphic. I really the enjoy the explanations and humor in your videos, Jessica. A lot of brains are being hearts to other brains, especially in caring professions.
As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD years ago and recently with bipolar disorder this is great
I have so many fond memories of hearing you say "Hello Brains" that I filmed a video about your channel (releasing next week)!
awww what really?? That's so sweet!
@@HowtoADHD Here's my video explaining what I love about your channel! ruclips.net/video/QYDqTQ1ai0E/видео.html
I’m a heart and a brain! My beloved has ADHD and I have complex PTSD with depression and anxiety and a DID component. So, your videos help both of us with our own challenges, and they help both of us help each other. So, we are both brains and hearts! Thanks for all of your help!
the two women icon when you referred to partner made my day...i love u jessica
I've just recently been diagnosed with ADHD at 26 years old, and I discovered your channel from the Anthony Padilla video on ADHD, and I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life just from feeling so understood and finally feeling like I have something that can help me with the things that made me feel like I was missing something and failing at being a normal human being. Excuse me while I go and binge every video you've ever made.
Why did this video make me cry ?
Still adjusting to the very big probability that I have this condition. Getting diagnosed soon.
Can’t thank you enough not just for the resources but for the quality and enthusiasm you have for the subject and your videos and making me realise I’m not just stupid or lazy.
Thank you.
I struggle with finishing books, and Audible is really great. It’s the perfect sponsor for this channel. It’s been a real life (or brain) saver for me!
I'm a brain and heart, I was diagnosed since September just gone and now my son 13 is going through diagnosis for ADHD now too. We're learning together. That boy is my heart ❣️
I struggle with finishing books, and Audible is really great. It’s the perfect sponsor for this channel. It’s been a real life (or brain) saver for me! I recently enjoyed several Malcolm Gladwell books on Audible.
I came to this channel as a heart looking for support for their daughter who was going through focus issues. Her and I have both since become brains and my husband now is a heart. Your channel provides amazing educational content. It has brought me so many tears of validation in the last 4 months. Thank you for pushing for us brain's, and hearts alike. ❤❤❤
I got diagnosed a few months ago but I’ve had adhd my whole life I’m sure. Ever since my diagnosis your videos have really helped me especially because I come from a not so understanding family (they stopped paying for my medication and appointments). Idk how I’d be functioning rn if it weren’t for your channel :)
It is wonderful what you're doing. My region refuses to diagnose people unless they've hit rock bottom, so for a while your videos was the only help I got. Thank you.
I love the little "hello brains!" audio in the background with the heart on the couch. Little touches!
I would never have noticed.
This channel has helped me SOOO MUCH. Thank you for this :)
I can't get enough of your channel - you are making me embrace and love my brain!! I'm new here! My daughter was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and I was diagnosed yesterday (after a hard past 8 years of mental health issues). This channel is a huge light bulb for me right now as I navigate what has been a dark decade - actually it's an entire stadium of floodlights!! My husband has been by my side but not without his own frustrations and struggles. Watching this episode fills my heart getting to refer to him as the biggest heart I know - as well as seeing that I am also a heart to my daughter.
This video is so cute. I started watching your videos as a brain. I was diagnosed about 17 years ago when i was 6-7 years, and just recently my gf was diagnosed with adhd, so i made her a playlist filled mostly with your videos to help her and her mom understand our condition.
Now I’m planning to create a platform where spanish speaking brains and hearts can find help and information in the same easy way you do it, since mist of the information is either in English or hard to understand. As always, thank you very much for everything you do
Just found this channel. I've got an Autism diagnosis, but I've found everything I've watched so far really useful, and will definitely be checking out your older videos!
this channel is awesome, it feels much more productive to watch this than zero punctuation videos but the talking is still fast enough to follow
You are such an awesome brain AND heart for making this channel. Im a PhD student who just recently realized that this all makes sense and got a diagnosis, but finding effective treatment is a NIGHTMARE right now. Your upbeat attitude, adorable brain artwork, and amazingly accurate advice are what's keeping me going right now. Thank you!
I watch your videos cuz I have ADHD, & it helps me feel now so alone with this mental ability.
One of my best friends has ADD, & half the time when he's so focused on what he's paying attention to [Gaming, or watching TV, or watching a RUclips video], I'll teas him with his wife who's trying to communicate with him by saying "He's too focused on whatever it is he's doing", at least half the time it gets his attention for him to say "Say what no?" when he first seems unresponsive to being talked to, or asked a question..
This channel was an immense resource for finding things that worked for me before I knew I was autistic. I kept wondering why the tips were so helpful when I knew I didn't experience many of the ADHD symptoms. Well, now I know and I recommend this channel far and wide.
Heart here! I just want to say how much I love your channel for helping me to better understand my beloved Brain! Watching these videos makes life better for BOTH of us, and makes our home life so much happier. My favourite tip was using gamification to handle chores - we found a task management app that doubles as a fantasy RPG, so now we're battling bosses together by putting away clothes and doing the dishes (I picked Healer as my character class - must be a Heart thing!) Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m 28 and just recently been diagnosed with ADHD.. you have taught me so much about my own brain 🧠 ❤️🙏🏾
I'm a brain. Thanks for making videos! You've really helped me understand my brain so much, my life is easier now. You also showed me that there's more people like me and that's such a nice feeling.
Love for all the other brains (and hearts, of course!) 💕
I want to thank you. Your video popped up right after I got into a argument with my other half. I'm 29 and last year after I stopped drinking I realized something is wrong. Started talking to someone and she gave me the test and sadly it's the first test I passed so easily. Your channel saved me today. Thank you for existing.
Just found out I have alot of ADHD symptoms through Anthony's video and have been doing research on it for hours now... I have my psychiatrist appointment tomorrow... Let's see how it goes 😊😊. Btw thanks for all the videos.
Oh thank you for sharing!! I’m so glad it helped!
Love this after being a long-term subscriber. Have always understood the "brains" part never realizing I was a "heart" initially and what you meant by that. For my now 14 year old our finding your channel was magical. She said you explained VERY WELL how it feels and always gets excited to see notifications of a new video.
Making these videos is giving me BIG HEART vibes! Thank you, you're awesome!
I initially came in as a heart, but found a lot of your info applicable to my brain I have CP so I’m neurodiverse but have really only had the physiological stuff addressed. So your channel has created so many lightbulb moments for me! ❤️🧠
I love your channel! Its helped me. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 14. I am now 44. I also have 2 boys with ADHD. I just want to say thank you so much. You have helped me get over my guilt of having to 6 go back on meds after 13 years off them. I went off them when I got pregnant with my oldest son. Now I'm handling things a lot better. So thank you 😊 Keep up the good work.
I have been following your work for like 2 years since I got diagnosed, and by God I admire you and your efforts, btw - I mean this in a completely loving and friendly way - you have two of the most beautiful eyes on the planet, they always glow with life. Thank you so much.
As an ADHD wire person myself, I learn a lot from ur videos. Thank you shineing ur light on us adhders.🤗🙏❤️
I came here after getting mad at my friends and my kids ADHD ..because they accused me of also having ADHD..ohhh well that explains EVERYTHING. I had classic 1980 parents they didn’t believe ADHD was a “real thing” ..so your videos have helped in all areas of my life. Especially compassion for myself and my loved ones!
Hi 🙋♀️ Tysm for creating a dedicated channel for ADHD. I have been struggling with being able to accept my condition, and also my medicine. Knowing that I was different than a lot of my classmates made me depressed and sad for awhile now. Your channel has help me overcome this, and learn more about my condition that is positive and not negative. Tysm and I hope your channel continues to grow and change more lives!!!
I started researching ADHD for a fun research project as an ed major.
Shortly thereafter, my best friend was suggested videos about ADHD in her algorithms and it helped her get a diagnosis.
2 weeks later, my other good friend texted me saying he thinks he has ADHD and he's gonna talk to his therapist about it.
I was able to share your resources with both of them and it's helped us all understand this new journey of awareness so much. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! Hugs, hearts, whatever you like ❤ I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid and it kinda came back a little while ago. Thanks for reminding me I'm not alone and helping me be so high functioning too 😊
I guess I would be both. I was diagnosed with adhd when I was 34. I also have 3 kids who all have adhd and 2 also have autism. Watching your channel has help me better understand myself and my kids (who are all teenagers now) and for that I am grateful.🙂
Atomic Habits is SOOOOO GOOD!!! And it's written in such an ADHD-friendly way: short chunks of useful text followed by even shorter summations of the text. It really has been a game-changer for me.
I've been watching your videos since last year but from the beginning, the first time that I listen to you said "hearts" from a Valentine's day, IDK if it was from two or three years ago, and I still got suspect ADHD, but I didn't knew that I got it, you know, for lockdown, pandemic, I got a lot of meltdowns, your videos had helped me a lot.
Still learning and still watching, and I love that you define your terms, even thou I suspect about the use 😁
Keep it like that 😍
I'm proud to be a brain. Thank you so much for your videos ♥️♥️
I am a heart and this channel has been so helpful in learning about why my boyfriend does some of the things he does! Its helped our relationship so much to know that the doesn't mean to cut me off or to forget things we've talked about
Your channel has changed my life! Have never felt so understood or at home than when I'm watching your videos :)
Your channel is one of the only resources that my husband can relate to and learn to understand my ADHD so thanks so much x
You! I keep forgetting to thank you! Your videos helped me gain consciousness of what was going on for the first time. I got diagnosed and you were a huge part of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I really liked the new music on this one. I think it's fun that you are exploring new sounds to go with the wonderful information.
I've had a frustrating day, and this kinda reminded me that it's okay today was basically all the things on shuffle minus productivity. BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS DID YOU FORGET ABOUT LITERALLY HOW YOUR BRAIN FUNCTIONS 4 HOURS AGO ME LOL
I'm both a brain and a heart! I started watching because I was curious about my own ADHD, but then I started to recommend it to my graduate program for everyone else who struggles with their brains, particularly during the pandemic. This channel also taught me how to be a better heart to my boyfriend, who also ADHD (but manifests differently from mine) and how to guide my students (I teach college) who need accommodations.
As far as audio books go... I find they help me sleep cause if I don't have that gentle passive stimulation from an audio book then my brain races.
I'm not listening to anything special right now, but I do also use them at other times during light tasks or while playing a mostly reaction based video game if I want to actually want to hear the whole book.
I love how I've been following for long enough to remember you coming up with these terms! 🥰
Great video! 😊 Also loved you on Anthony's video! We both got so excited when we saw you on it, you did so well explaining all the ADHD struggles! 😊💕
Started watching as a heart, now I'm thinking maybe I'm a brain too and that has been an emotional rollercoaster at my 2 am sleepless binge watching.
I appreciate you and your content.
I love how you place the ad at the end so I don't get distracted into an audible subcription right away😅
My ADHD son referred me here and I really appreciate what you're doing here..
I was not able to help my son, because he was far away, now that he is home, we have seek help from professionals and he is progressing well..
I thank you again for helping us understand what is going on in his brain 😊
I absolutely love the brain and heart graphics!!! So happy you have this channel and I love being a part of this community. As someone who has ADHD and has been diagnosed since 3rd grade I always learn something new. Much love to you Jessica and this wonderful community ❤️❤️❤️
You're awesome and I love you Jessica. Thank you for all your help and support.
I'm here from your ted talk. Thank you so much for doing that. It really feels good knowing I'm alone. You got a new subscriber :)
YOUR CHANNEL IS SO POSITIVE I LOVE IT IT’S GREAT!
Aaaaah yeah I’m really crazy and hyper this week-
Im a heart and a brain. I became a therapist and the more I learned about ADHD the I realized why I was struggling and having to work harder than others. I started asking questions about some of my own symptoms that I've had since I was a kid, went to a therapist and a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with adhd.
Grateful for you and this channel 🙏 🤗 ❤
I really like your new hair colour! And I love your videos, I'm watching every single one because they are so helpful. Thank you for your time. Love from Germany. Sarah.
Why do I love the way she says brains 🧠 🤷🏻♂️, also I got lost half way threw the Audible talk 😂 , Thank you for your Help the community appreciates you.
I'm so glad you do what you do. Its so hard. I have always wanted to do what you do. You know be a spokes person for ADHD. Keep up the good fight. You rock and are a angel.
I love love love Loooove your videos!! Thanks for existing! ❤️
thanks so much for explaining! 💕
Loved seeing you in Anthonys vid🥰 Love your content
Your videos helped me appreciate my ADHD more and understand it better, as well as indirectly helping me find a much better medication than what I was using before. Thank you :)
Mel robbins also has adhd and she has a podcast that’s free through audible originals! She doesn’t cover the same content as you but it’s nice to know the community exists in some many ways! Thank you for channel Jessica. Your brain hoodie is a small reminder of how many of us there are
Thank you! great videos, love your channel.
I staeleted watching because I wanted to learn more about adhd. My best friend had it, I wanted to understand her better. Now, I think I have adhd *but I'm not good with talking to doctors pr anything so I don't have a diagnosis* and your channel has also helped me understand not only my friend but myself better
I just got diagnosed with ADHD last week. Thank you for being here
Just started atomic habits and wow. "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become" it’s common sense but still hits so hard.
It's great that you specifically mention that you don't have to have a diagnosis. It's important to validate people that really do their research before jumping to conclusions
I'm a heart for a brain that doesn't have an ADHD diagnosis... but they find it helpful anyway. And sometimes, I'm also a brain, even though I don't, and never ill, have an ADHD diagnosis.
I came across your channel by accident more and more videos were so helpful that I realized I have ADD and now I am officially diagnosed
I bought the book Try Soft that you brought up. Thank you for bringing it up.
Ok ok. Last time when I commented the video got privated so now I actually went and finish through it before commenting 😅
THIS IS VERY GOOD TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLISM OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT- I NEVER KNEW I’LL FALL IN LOVE WITH ANIMATED HUMAN ORGANS - AND I WANNA ADD “BRAINS” AND “HEARTS” IN MY VOCABULARY :DD
Last time I was this early, Corona was just a beer
I'm not sure how big the group I'm in is and what name I would give us but I'm neither a brain myself nor a heart. I stumbled across your channel a while ago via the bujo vid. I figured if the organizational and motivational stuff you show works for ADHDers, it should work for a normie like me, so thanks for your content! It's sort of like when they first made lowered curbs for wheelchair users it then turned out to be useful to everybody.
And then I just stuck watching the channel because your presentation is fun and because it is kinda fascinating to hear about different mental experiences.
To my Grandson who is a brain from Nana who is a heart. I love you so very much. We WILL get through this!❤
