so am i, ive denied that ive had adhd all my life and told everyone my mums a lier 😪😭 but as time goes on im almost 35 and I cannot denie it any more 😪😪😪 im going to go to my gp tomorrow to get back on my meds
Thank you. My son has ADHD and this video had me in tears. As much as I try to learn and understand I can't 100% get how he feels every day. Thank you for sharing this and for putting yourself out there to help and be a blessing to others.
My heart broke when you started talking about being a successful business owner. That really touched base with me. The intention is always good, yet sometimes getting the task done takes so much time and effort on our part. Things that seem so easy for a person without adhd are difficult for us. Thank you for this video.
I am 32 and I recently realised have ADHD. Going to start with meds soon. The hyper focus and other stuff and others not understanding. I’ve been so critical to myself and I live with so much shame and guilt on the daily. Thanks for validating my feelings.
I know you posted this 4 years ago and probably won’t see this but when you said “we want you to know that we feel bad” I bursted into tears. This is the most seen I’ve felt in a long time.
I’ve been watching many ADHD videos but none of them was really relatable. I think it is because they weren’t my age group or gender, they were usually diagnosed as children, and no one I saw felt overwhelming anxiety because of the housework and kids. Thank you for putting yourself out there. I had lightbulb moments that it’s not just me and yes, these are symptoms of ADD. I’m getting tested soon.
Aren't you just the most amazing woman! I'm nearing age 60, was diagnosed at 50. I wish I'd had the inspiring wealth of inspiration you've presented in my day. I'm Mum of four, Nanna of 8 and I've survived! Yet new to RUclips thanks to grandkiddies, I've learnt more in past several mths than in yrs of real life. You're spot on as I was self employed most of my life. But I'm now the most loved Grandma as I play with the kid's with same enthusiasm and so what I'm not like everyone else but we see life different. If you're this awesome now Young Lady, look out in yrs to come as you're touching many lives! You've achieved my highest regard as my son watched and sent 👍, what an achievement as this helped him understand mum's quirky ways but your presenting was very genuine.🙏👵🇦🇺🏆
Thank you so much for making this video. It felt like you took all of my feelings and my chaotic thoughts, and you put it together with a nice compilation. Speak of what I really want to say for a long time but I just can’t explain it in the right way.
Thank you thank you so much for sharing and letting us know that we are normal!! This hit me listening to this video 😢because for the longest time I’ve been beating myself up and wondering why I’m different and can’t do things like others can! I’m constantly over thinking things, taking forever to complete a task, always have anxiety, and always thinking I’m not go enough for anything. I even struggle with things related to my business.
Hi Betsy, thank you so much for making this video!! I have an ex best friend who was diagnosed with ADHD when she was a child, but her mom never told her she had it (awful, I know!), so I personally dismissed it. Long story short she did lots of things that hurt me, and her mental illnesses + ADHD explain it. Doesn’t excuse it, though! However when I look back, I could’ve done some things differently too. I’ve been looking up these kinds of videos in case we talk again one day, and how to hold her accountable. The comments seem to find this video super helpful too, so I’ll definitely keep a mental note on it! Thank you again :)
Thank you for speaking out. Your videos on ADHD have motivated me to get treatment. You speak as if you are inside of my head!! Thank you for fluently describing a day in the life of an individual with ADHD.
I really was at a point with myself that I didn't care what others thought. Well. I ended up with a man who was not who I thought he was and my life fell apart. I began believing I shouldn't need to take meds and this has been such a huge struggle. I feel like the last 5 years that I was on meds and life was much better is lost. I just wish I had someone to talk all this out. I am going to my doctor next week. But watching you talk about this reminded me my quality of life was so much greater when on meds. I cannot worry or care what others think. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for this video 💚 I can't believe that you have just literally explained my life. I related to Every. Single. Point. I've seen a lot of ADHD videos {Hyper focus much? Lol} and this is easily one of the best. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!!!!!! I used to get upset with my roomy about so many things and be like, why is he not doing these simple things? I understand soooooo much about him now. I know to help him and show compassion because aside from missing some things or forgetting some things because he is consumed by something else, he is one of thee kindest, most giving people I know. This was the best think to help me better understand him! (:
You sound so much like me...it was eye opening. Made me cry almost...you are spot on. I made the decision to get assessed...my appointment is this Friday...small steps...
Somebody who knows how I feel! It is so cool to hear a woman say things i have thought often: "I feel like a disappointment"..."Let us know you love us" ..."I thought business owners had to be [naturally] organized"..."I get anxious because there's so much to do," etc., etc. I agree 100% with the tips you have given and really love the honesty about our struggles combined with the call to accountability and achievement. Thanks so much for posting this. You look great, by the way. Whenever I see a pretty woman with "all her stuff together" like you, I assume they can't be experiencing anything like I am (overwhelm, difficulty getting started, etc.) Thank you for sharing that things aren't always what they seem. This gives me more hope for myself.
Michelle, this gave me goosebumps! This is exactly why I share! I know there are so many out there who feel this way, and far too often we assume that no one else does. Ha, and if you saw me most days you'd see a hot mess often! :-) I think the more we share, the more we encourage one another! I will keep putting videos out to help!
Thanks for sharing Betsy! I have many people I love who have ADHD....not even sure I don't have it myself. This is really great information. So helpful.
I have struggled with ADHD all my life. One thing i really hate is when friends say ' hes got adhd hes crazy' to people i dont know. I hate people trying to put me on the spot about something i am very embarrassed by. I have always had the attitude 'my ADHD isnt an excuse' if ive told you i have it then i trust you, not to go round asif its a great thing to have. I used to be on medication from the age of 4. I stopped taking medication when i turned 18. Then i discovered Cannabis, this has helped far more than any ritalin or others. Any one struggling with adhd i recommend high grade cannabis.
I have adhd, only been diagnosed at 40. Smoked cannabis when younger and got psychosis at 17. I'd avoid giving medical advice to others. But your friends shouldn't do that, you've entrusted them with something personal, cleanly state your boundaries, in this case, that is yours to share, not theirs.
Thank you soooo much for this video! My husband and I are BOTH in tears! My husband and son have ADHD and my husband was just recently diagnosed AFTER our son. Life has been rough. I was his hyperfocus before getting married. After marriage, however, I became what I felt like the "back burner" and I took it personally. I felt like life with a family was too hard and too stressful for him and I felt like I was a single parent most of the time. I could sit here and tell you our whole story but I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you and would really love to watch a Q&A with you and your husband! I see that this was done a few years ago but I am BEGGING for the Q&A! Or, even just to hear BOTH sides of your stories! Thank you again! Your raw emotion, honesty, and your ability to explain is wonderful and very much appreciated! I have subscribed and looking forward to more when you can! Take care!
BTW, learning how my husband and son think has helped tremendously... just researching the medical aspect and explanation of ADHD doesn't compare to the actual "inside intel" that my husband and son were able to voice to me. I struggled with believing in the myths of ADHD towards boys as "boys will be boys". My husband related to our son in their views and behaviors so he didn't agree with what the teachers and pediatrician was trying to tell us as well. They only understood their normal and nothing else. When I say "recent diagnosis" I mean RECENT! Its been an awakening for ALL of us! Again, we appreciated this video more than words can describe and I am trying to work on how I can help them both. I'm also working on how to change my attitude towards the frustrations and some resentments I've held through the last 17 years with my husband. The difference with us finally understanding what is going on and working together is incredible! ;)
My husband thinks he understands my adhd. The biggest thing is he tells me what i CANT do because i have ADHD, Instead of encouraging me to find ways i can do things.
Betsy ~ I’m only halfway through but just had to stop and tell you this: THANK YOU! Thank you for making me feel like maybe I’m ‘normal.’ (Okay, I’ll use that term loosely! 😉) Thank you for making me feel like I’m not the only mom/wife diagnosed with ADHD that functions the way I do. I will be having my husband listen to this so he realizes that I’m not the only wife in the world who occasionally becomes so overwhelmed or anxious because there are so many things to do that I don’t even know where to start! So I actually don’t start. You are amazing for sharing this! Thank you so much!!! P.S. And now that I’ve finished your video: YES!!! I DO feel like a disappointment! I AM ashamed! You totally hit the nail on the head! And you are soooooo right: we need to know that people still love and support us! I would *love* to hear more from you and/or Paul - specifically in regard to how you guys make it work. Is it difficult for him to be patient with you (because I’m pretty sure it’s hard for my hubby to find patience for me!)? How does he show his support without being patronizing or shaming? What types of support does he specifically show you that you that work the best for you? And Betsy, when you become so overwhelmed because there are so many things you need to do at the same time, what works best for you in prioritizing or accomplishing them without absolutely losing your sh!t?! (Because I tend to just lose it when I become overwhelmed, I’ve got to be honest 😬) Ultimately, I just really want to say thank you, again, Betsy, because I REALLY needed to listen to this tonight! (It was one of those days where there were so many things to do that I actually got very little done.) My friend calls it a “When You Give A Mouse A Cookie” Day (just like the book): you start with Task A, which reminds you that you need to do Task B, which then takes you to Task C (because you need to do that before you finish Task B), but in the process of doing that, Interruption #1 happens, which leads to Task D.... and so on and so on. Ugh. And that is my life! 😉
Somehow I am just seeing all of these comments! Yes! I should do a video with Paul soon! I think his perspective could be so helpful. :-) And I will keep making videos!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I am a consultant with ADHD also and everything you said is dead on. I sent this video to my husband to watch. This will be so helpful for him to understand what I struggle with daily. Once again, thank you so much! ❤
I have ADHD and I am so glad you made this video. I will share it to my friends and family because I have often felt alone in this world and like nobody could really understand me. I also feel like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park might have had ADHD and may have felt bad over the years and died by suicide. Maybe he felt misunderstood too. I myself survived suicide. When you said that we sometimes feel undervalued and bad it can definitely weigh heavily on your mind and spirit. With all this being said I just want to raise the energy back up and make sure that for those who may be reading this in America that if you're feeling suicidal or need someone to talk to please call 988. #MakeChesterProud. Thank you Betsy for this very helpful and inspirational video.
I’m 22 and was just diagnosed and I’m still trying to work through managing my ADHD . I figured out I had it when I was student teaching I couldn’t keep track of it all. We are so similar thanks for sharing
Awesome. You could be me speaking these words. Thank you! When are you writing the book? I will totally help you - I haven't found anything just for the working woman, mom, wife.
Glad I discovered your videos. This is so helpful for my daughter. This is so her and I feel hopeful for her . May I ask what they prescribe that’s helped
I really liked your video. I am someone who has a friend who has ADHD and I care about her very much and your video has educated me very much. It's hard finding material for the non ADHS person and I really want to support my friend and let her know I'm there for her anytime she needs me. If you know where I can find more material please let me know. Thank you very much.
Hi Betsy. I appreciate hearing your story and info. I also enjoy your personality and like this video presentation. Well, I've been recently diagnosed, so clearly I have to find all associated videos ever made and posted, save them to Watch Later, make playlists to watch Later, save other people's playlists to watch when i'll certainly have an infinite amount of time to watch them all, plus other vids on all other interesting subjects, while simultaneously finishing all my partially finished projects followed by finishing my started projects. 😏😏😏 (I hope that gave you a chuckle.) Now, I don't want to stress you- but i'd like to see how you're doing now... And since people can record shorts at any time it occurs to you,maybe you could do a couple or three of those... and I'll need a set of those white leopard sweats- as soon as I lose 50 or 60 pounds... or 75 or so.
Haha this comment was fantastic 😂. Yes I have been considering doing more on here related to ADHD. Ha I laugh because I got started with it, hyperfocused on it to get a few videos out, and then dropped the ball 😂. It’s clear that it’s a subject people are craving - mainly I think, because adhd can feel so shaming and lonely. I’ll for sure consider doing more because I want to educate about adhd, and help others. Now if I could just get my brain to cooperate…
Thank you so much for your response! i'm really appreciative you took the time to comment. What I've been thinking of- is getting an editor... I record whatever, from whatever spot in the house- then, send it out, without overthinking it, to an experienced and objective person... then, it is out of my hands, and I don't have a chance to talk myself out of it, or put it off, or forget about it. I already have ... probably hours of content, just gathering micro dust in my laptop. You might have the means to accomplish this (I don't right now). Might this be something that would work for you? I hope I don't seem push-y, i'm just seeing what you think... Either way, I'm juat one of *so many* people who appreciate your perspective, so, thanks again. And good luck with LLRoe! Looks like some of my FB friends know you from there. Cool!
I felt relief.. a lot ,so much…thought that was the only Me alone And yea pls tell us that u loves us and value us We all ADHD we just like u all’s we adhd also a human…….. alright … Xoxo 💋
I was diagnosed as a child, so how do I get tested as an adult? Some people say you grow out of it, but I find I’m still struggling. My previous methods no longer help me cope/manage, and I feel I need professional intervention at this stage. && since you live in MI too, I’m sure you know what I’m up against with trying to get medicinal help. So much is put off for medical professionals being apprehensive to prescribe anything due to the strong medicinal abuse && epidemic that this State is currently up against. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Betsy!
I'm bawling over here. I've never heard a better explanation! Thank you so much for taking the time to share!
You are welcome :-)
so am i, ive denied that ive had adhd all my life and told everyone my mums a lier 😪😭 but as time goes on im almost 35 and I cannot denie it any more 😪😪😪 im going to go to my gp tomorrow to get back on my meds

I needed this today...everything was so accurate about how you feel with ADHD... Thank you ❤️
I know you posted this 4 years ago and probably won’t see this but when you said “we want you to know that we feel bad” I bursted into tears. This is the most seen I’ve felt in a long time.
You aren’t alone. I’m so glad my video resonated with you and it helped you! This ADHD thing is no easy gig
I’ve been watching many ADHD videos but none of them was really relatable.

Thank you so much for this one!!! It almost brought tears to my eyes especially at the end. I had to share with my husband. Thank you again!!!
I never felt related to someone s experience then I feel right now with your story . Much love and respect for my Friend ❤
I felt like myself was talking to me because of how accurate this was , thank you (much love and support )❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you thank you so much for sharing and letting us know that we are normal!!

Eveything i have felt, you have successfully verbalized. I am sharing this video with everyone i care about and who cares about me. Bravo!
Great explanation helps me to understand the one I love who has ADHD.
Thank you so much!!!!!! I used to get upset with my roomy about so many things and be like, why is he not doing these simple things? I understand soooooo much about him now. I know to help him and show compassion because aside from missing some things or forgetting some things because he is consumed by something else, he is one of thee kindest, most giving people I know.

Thank you so much for doing this video. I am a consultant with ADHD also and everything you said is dead on. I sent this video to my husband to watch. This will be so helpful for him to understand what I struggle with daily. Once again, thank you so much! ❤
You are welcome! Glad to help :-)
What is the best med to help adults ADD ?
Simply..... Thank you xx
I feel the same! Just tot tested. Finally understand myself better. But its still difficult.
I have ADHD and I am so glad you made this video. I will share it to my friends and family because I have often felt alone in this world and like nobody could really understand me. I also feel like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park might have had ADHD and may have felt bad over the years and died by suicide. Maybe he felt misunderstood too. I myself survived suicide.

Thank you Betsy for this very helpful and inspirational video.
You have the same name as me! Oh and thank you for the video it is so true!
Betsy I hope you do more videos related to ADHD and also ways you’ve learned how to manage your ADHD awhile a LLR business owner
I’m 22 and was just diagnosed and I’m still trying to work through managing my ADHD . I figured out I had it when I was student teaching I couldn’t keep track of it all. We are so similar thanks for sharing
Also I love Lula roe!!!
thank you betsy
Awesome. You could be me speaking these words. Thank you! When are you writing the book? I will totally help you - I haven't found anything just for the working woman, mom, wife.
Ty for the tip
Glad I discovered your videos. This is so helpful for my daughter. This is so her and I feel hopeful for her . May I ask what they prescribe that’s helped
I take Adderall xr. It’s a life changer for me
This made me cry…. I feel so stuck. 💔
I really liked your video. I am someone who has a friend who has ADHD and I care about her very much and your video has educated me very much. It's hard finding material for the non ADHS person and I really want to support my friend and let her know I'm there for her anytime she needs me. If you know where I can find more material please let me know. Thank you very much.
I know I am late to this party 😉 but thank you so much for this video. It is tremendously helpful.
Sooo Nice...
Hi Betsy. I appreciate hearing your story and info. I also enjoy your personality and like this video presentation. Well, I've been recently diagnosed, so clearly I have to find all associated videos ever made and posted, save them to Watch Later, make playlists to watch Later, save other people's playlists to watch when i'll certainly have an infinite amount of time to watch them all, plus other vids on all other interesting subjects, while simultaneously finishing all my partially finished projects followed by finishing my started projects. 😏😏😏 (I hope that gave you a chuckle.)

Ha I laugh because I got started with it, hyperfocused on it to get a few videos out, and then dropped the ball 😂. It’s clear that it’s a subject people are craving - mainly I think, because adhd can feel so shaming and lonely. I’ll for sure consider doing more because I want to educate about adhd, and help others. Now if I could just get my brain to cooperate…
Thank you so much for your response! i'm really appreciative you took the time to comment. What I've been thinking of- is getting an editor... I record whatever, from whatever spot in the house- then, send it out, without overthinking it, to an experienced and objective person... then, it is out of my hands, and I don't have a chance to talk myself out of it, or put it off, or forget about it. I already have ... probably hours of content, just gathering micro dust in my laptop. You might have the means to accomplish this (I don't right now). Might this be something that would work for you? I hope I don't seem push-y, i'm just seeing what you think... Either way, I'm juat one of *so many* people who appreciate your perspective, so, thanks again. And good luck with LLRoe! Looks like some of my FB friends know you from there. Cool!

Aside from the obvious downsides to dating someone with ADHD what would you consider the positives? I have ADHD and this video hit me hard.
👍
I would love to hear what your spouses has to say so I can talk to my wife. Thanks again.
I would like to know if your symptoms manifested during childhood but were not diagnosed. If so, what advise you have for families of ADHD kids.

Thank you for this....have you considered running for congress?
I was diagnosed as a child, so how do I get tested as an adult? Some people say you grow out of it, but I find I’m still struggling. My previous methods no longer help me cope/manage, and I feel I need professional intervention at this stage. && since you live in MI too, I’m sure you know what I’m up against with trying to get medicinal help. So much is put off for medical professionals being apprehensive to prescribe anything due to the strong medicinal abuse && epidemic that this State is currently up against. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Betsy!
The psychological community no longer recognizes the idea that ADHD can be grown out of; the way symptoms present changes.
Only cure for adhd is meditation . More the age more you have to spend in meditation.
