    This video has been very helpful. I connect with your story. I started an adhd traeatment three months ago. In three weeks of adhd medication, I have felt a lot better than 15 years with antidepressants. I hope this continues giving me this peace, like you. I have also stopped taking antidepressants after the first month. Thanks for sharing it! I needed it.

    All of us feel the same. I really feel for those in poor countries who can’t afford the diagnosis because I’m pretty sure they trust in addiction it’s so sad😢

      @@PhilipPullanit’s insane, I spent the past two and a half years paying off multiple ignored parking tickets on a payment plan with multiple councils because I just constantly avoided dealing with it head on for some odd reason that I couldn’t understand! In a much better position now though!

    This is so encouraging! I’m 45, currently on the NHS list for assessment (since January) and I’ve been mildly depressed since I was 15. Hope there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Glad it turned your life around. Best of luck

    I started 18mg Concerta XL today (first pill taken 2 hours ago), reevaluation at GP next week. I watched your videos and it helped ease my nervousness starting the medication journey. Thank you Emily.

    I’ve just been diagnosed with ADHD and Oh my god can I relate to you. My failings can infuriate me so much so that I’ve regularly destroyed things, 2 iPads and 2 car windscreens in the last year alone, which has proven very expensive. I too never stuck at anything in my 20s and thought I was lazy in large part because I couldn’t concentrate. I’ve a good job now but it took real effort to get there. I start on Concerta XL tomorrow.

    Woohoo post post post! You have actually been promoted from my phone to my front room TV! March 2023 my diagnosis changed the way I thought about myself and today a better self has formed from Concerta XL and a little help.

      @@adhdemily well I have led half of my life (I hope) just carrying a label. And I already knew I was quicker, more observant, and dare I say, smarter, than the average. But somehow all the failures had me bitten hard, countless times. But since I live with it unnoticed, it's kind of a chance to wipe a slate clean if there was any. So who wouldn't take that opportunity and drive onwards. Normal is something I USED to want. 🤣

    I've been watching all of your journey, literally binge watching all your videos today from your first day to this... My prescription comes tomorrow and I'm going to start on 18mg as well, I know it's going to be a big journey for me as well and I'm both excited and scared because I will know how it feels when life is in autopilot instead of manual mode and I am scared of the fact that once that happens I can't unknow it anymore even if eventually I stop being on meds.

    I finally got my ADHD diagnosis yesterday, I'll also be starting out on Concerta XL 18mg as Elvanse is going through a national shortage. Hopefully the medication will help make things a little easier, if nothing else it'll be interesting to see how my brain is supposed to function lol.

      Hey there Alessandro :)
      I was diagnosed with ADHD by a psychiatrist at Clinical Partners who are a private clinic who provide online appointments to UK residents.
      All other aspects of my healthcare have always been, and continue to be, managed by the NHS.
      Hope this helps x

    I wonder whether you feel a sense of frustration with the medical professionals who treated you for your depression. I'm about to book an ADHD assessment myself at 34; I was diagnosed with Autism not long before my 26th birthday, I've had long term mental health issues and I've been seeing therapists for close to the past 4 years. Not one of the three therapists I saw picked up on it, despite over 100 sessions. It really frustrates me. So, I wonder whether you have a similar experience; the belief that surely someone with a medical background should have picked up on it

    Great lighting, TERRIBLE audio. I can barely hear you. If you spoke any lower it would be silent. I’m using an external speaker turned up all the way. BUT, closed captions has saved the day! I’m watching this like it’s a French foreign film. One word, “louder!” Speak up! And, I say this only to help. I wish you all the luck in the world, I’m in your same leaky boat with ADHD.
