    THE SHOWERING. OH MY GOD LITERALLY EXACTLY. adhd sucks everything is just harder to do :(

  • @rebekahmokool4759
    @rebekahmokool4759 4 месяца назад +18

    6:12- I feel so heard by this(I dont do it with showering, but I do it with brushing my teeth, which is similar in my brain)
    AND EVERYTHING IS MULTIPLE STEPS
    Every task is a million tasks that are perceived as the same size as the collective task would be to a neurotypical person

    • @AdamZayden

    10:00 this is so real. I have a distinct memory of my mom and i at a Christmas market and i hated the busy crowds and the loud noises ( i had recently been diagnosed w autism) and i wanted to leave because it was too much and she told me that i never used to react like that but a few years later I've realised that i finally started to say something because i knew i was valid and it made sense to be reacting that way. Before i would just try and cope but after getting a diagnosis i understood why i reacted like that and its such a relief to be able to know why you do and feel certain things differently and that's okay. Compared to a few years ago i probably do struggle with things more and need more arrangements but that's because i know it can help me to deal with things better and also, i have more to deal with as i get older than i did a few years ago and i need more support

    • @AdamZayden
      @AdamZayden  4 месяца назад +1

      yes!!! it can be quite a strange feeling when you always struggled with something but pushed through anyways, to then be able recognise that you struggled and not have people around you understand the ‘sudden change’ even though it’s something you always experienced! but i agree i think it can be validating at least for yourself, thanks for sharing!!

    I don't have adhd so I don't fully relate to you, but I have a chronic disease that makes me extremely tired and people always think I'm just lazy!! So I do really relate to that in some way. Like stfu, u don't know what it feels like to struggle like that😭
    Anyways, I love that you're super open, it makes the channel feel like such a comforting place. Please keep making videos as I LIVE FOR THEMMM (but ofc don't overwork yourself girly❤)

    I appreciate you talking about your ADHD I myself have dyslexia and I used so struggle in school a lot but for me personally getting the diagnosis has helped me and I’m doing better and I recently got diagnosed with dyscalculia which is like dyslexia with numbers that’s the easiest way I can describe it but since I just got diagnosed quite recently I do still struggle to find ways to help

    • @AdamZayden

  • @tuesdaywithjisoo8395
    @tuesdaywithjisoo8395 4 месяца назад +3

    I related so much to some of this. I expressed my concern that i may have ADHD but yk women and ADHD right. Anyway I tried to get help via my school for this because it was effecting my performance but also my personal life. I kid you not their "diagnosis process" was aitting me down googling the symptoms and asking me "well do you relate to that?" And spewing a bunch of bs that I already knew because I've done my research. Anyway they said "oh you're just anxious" and sent me on my way. It's still so difficult and I feel like my parents have seen so many typical male displays of ADHD that they think it's impossible for me to have it. I really relate to that whole Lazy feeling thing also just the constant overwhelmed feeling I have in my own head and never being able to properly interact socially the way everyone else can. I love my family but im kinda desperate to get out on my own so I can try to get help for this.

    • @AdamZayden
      @AdamZayden  4 месяца назад

      ugh yeah i know adhd is so under diagnosed in women and girls, i’m sorry to hear you’re struggling :( it sucks when people around you aren’t willing to listen and validate your feelings but just keep fighting for it! until you’re properly assessed no one is allowed to rule it out for you - and even then because of the way the assessment is so heavily biased towards boys and men i know plenty of women who have had to go through several people until they had a proper comprehensive assessment and they finally got their diagnosis. it’s annoying the loopholes you have to jump through but if you think it proper affects you it is so worth it to fight for it, you’ve got this!! 🩷

    i am trying to get diagnosed with adhd, but i genuinely dont feel like people are listening to me..as you said, daily tasks are harder to do but my mom does not understand and i dont feel like she is willing to. she just classifies it as "teenage brain" and laziness, im so tired. i am 17 btw so i am not exactly in the very early teen years if that makes sense.

    Almost every time I see anyone, who's also got quite the collection of brain conditions, I'm like. that is SOOO me when I...
    But you do get like a "many in one deal" with mental health conditions. I'm 18 and have been finding out about the existence of mental health conditions since I was 14. I have discovered that I'm infact NOT lazy, weird, stupid or annoying. I just happen to be autistic, have adhd, anxiety disorder, binge ed, cptsd and maybe possibly depression because of all of that. Idk if I'm depressed tho or if that's just all the executive dysfunction and sensory issues and gender dysphoria stressing and severely upsetting me..

No hate allowed, just gotta be nice, rational and always live by what science says. The way I be upcycling all my old clothes and all the old clothes I get my hands on is so satanic, upcycling is very good for nature. TST in my country fights for LGBTQ rights, esp trans rights.

    ADHD is a superpower, but it’s a really crap one. 😂
    Like we have an overactive imagination and remember lots of random stuff, but on the other hand everything sucks. The paralysis, the overstimulation, the mini-tasks in every “single “ task, forgetting to eat, the stress, mental blocks, the zone-outs, forgetfulness, etc
    It’s so tiring. Doing the same thing as a neurotypical person can be absolutely draining for us. We just need to figure out what works for us 😅
