  • Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (or ADHD, for short) is a condition that affects your focus. It can make focusing on everyday tasks and routines challenging. For years, people with ADHD were labeled as lazy, procrastinators, flaky, or irresponsible. These labels only produced shame and prevent those with ADHD from seeking help. To help reduce the stigma, we made this video!
    Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes and not intended for self-diagnosis. If you believe that any of the points apply to you, please visit a therapist for a proper diagnosis.
    Reminder: Do not let these labels prevent you from seeking treatment. Remember that these labels, whether they plagued you in the past or follow you in the present, do not represent who you are. You are more than that. So, if you ever need help, please reach out to a medical health professional for assistance.

  • @shazani18
    @shazani18 2 года назад +1058

    My brain has a natural tendency to get distracted by imagining things, even at times when it should pay attention. I can concentrate on tasks but I often need music to focus, otherwise it is impossible. I have dozens of unfinished personal projects and sometimes when I focus on something the rest of the world disappears completely. I don't know if I could have a mild form of ADHD or it's just because of the way I grew up, I used to spend a lot of time alone, so I was killing the time imagining things. I don't really have a problem doing important tasks, just personal ones, like projects or TV series.

      don't be scared of anxiety, this is why you get panick attacks. Embrace it when it gets too much and it should go down. On the other side of your max level of anxiety is euphoria believe it or not, the nirvana state of mind.
      Emotions are much more simple than we think, but it's a double edge sword attribute. Love and hate are the same chemical, anxiete and laughter, fear and bliss. They come in pairs, the way they manifest is all about how we perceive things. To me true "happiness" is being able to control and know how, where and when to let go of your negative emotions. So that you don't have to live with constant lingering anger or anxiety, every single day, for the rest of your life.

      Relatable. Except that I am actually really good with money but for the same reason. I hyperfocus on my bank statements and have systems set up for bills, and check them constantly. Even when I have a splurge, I focus on how i'm gonna pay it off. But. as I mentioned in another comment, my impulse control is so bad in other ways, I can set a timer for 15 minutes, and 20 minutes later realize the alarm has been going for 5 minutes, and I only got 3 minutes into the scheduled task and done 5 other unrelated things meanwhile. With work stuff, I feel overwhelmed because I'm trying to please everyone and work on all the projects at once. If I'm doing this project, I feel like I should be doing That project, but when I'm doing That project, I feel bad I'm not working on this project. and email notifications feel like taser arrows, cuz i just know something has gone wrong to ruin all my efforts. Do you have dreams about the work you have to do?

    As a child, I was in trouble often for being distracted, not focusing unless I was interested in subject( hated Math) and bothering other students. I was labeled lazy, disruptive, no conforming and a pain in the arse. One nun in particular, gave me things to do physical things, that warded off my disruptiveness. BTW..I usually was done with my classwork way before others, so I was bored. This nun was way before her time, as punishment was the answer in the 60s and early 70s. Procrastination was my middle name and disorganization...boy was my desk a mess...still is, but now it's an organized mess. I took up writing early on which seemed to help...still does. My active mind was full of ideas I quickly turned into stories( this started at age 7) I feel overwhelmed so often that I go into my do nothing mode and feel exhausted...
    It wasn't until college I was quickly diagnosed with ADD...my concentration was awful and had to read reread a paragraph 2x before I could comprehend it..I'm also a fast reader and was tested at 5th grade to be 12th grade + reading level. One hobby was to read the dictionary daily, to learn new words. I used that tactic with my elderly patients to find a new word daily and it became the Word Of The Day, where we would find ways to use it all day long.
    As a Psych nurse( retired) and Spec Needs teacher, I used many of my tactics with patients. They all worked.
    Now I'm much older and my concentration is way worse and fuzzy brain is often. I was on Adderall for awhile in college, so I'm back on it now.
    It does help but wears off quickly. I can see the difference in all areas when I'm on it.

    I am 65 and Im pretty sure I have ADHD even without a formal diagnosis. But we shall see.
    I was looking up autism/Aspergers syndrome and it also mentioned ADHD. Talk about a ‘lightbulb moment’. I tick nearly every box and one of my constant things to say is, ‘I know I should do such and such but something always stops me’ even though I desperately want to do whatever it is.
    Procrastination is my middle name and for decades, I have moved through life with a stream of unfinished projects in my wake. I dropped out of university in my second year despite the fact I was getting good marks on the assignments I HAD managed to finish. I just couldn’t ‘get my act together’, and I was ashamed and viewed myself as lazy and good for nothing as I always have.
    And in 2007 I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder. But I’ve known for some time that there is ‘something else’ overriding that dx.
    My ex used to say that my slowness would lead to my downfall and despite him being a rotter, he’s been proved right. I could have had a short story published but procrastination got in the way. I nearly lost my home but.....well, you get the picture. And the list goes on and on.
    So I’m seeing my GP next week and asking for a referral to a specialist. I hope I am successful, but if not, I shall go private despite the cost (I am in England where most treatment and consultations are free on the NHS)
    Good luck to anyone out there who is seeking a diagnosis late in life. Whatever has gone before has NEVER been your fault.

      I too have Bipolar ll, and always knew there was something wrong. Meds helped alot back in the day( age 50 diagnosed) but nothing works much now. Many have a combo of BP and ADD. I'm very depressed mostly with few manic or slightly manic...
      Finally, the pandemic and a leg amputation has led to me writing FT and submitting again. I have alot of work ahead of me as writing is a very compelling job...the writing part is a breeze but putting on a laptop, editing, formatting and learning electronic submissions.. total hell.

    I have heard about the word adhd. But I just know what is ADHD in recent week. I always thought that I am a lazy person but after know much about this, suddenly I can relate to this. This is my symptom:
    1. Forgetful. Sometime when people give information, people can relay that perfectly. But I can't. Most of the time, when people relay message, I just remember part of it or forget about it all. Even the message was just relayed 5 second ago. Also, I constantly forget what I'm going to do next (ex: I go to my room to take my phone, but when I enter the room I forgot what I'm supposed to do) and this happend daily.
    2. Hyperfocus and focus easily distracted. Sometimes when I'm on my computer or I'm reading a book, I can't hear people talking and calling to me. My focus often distracted and I can't get focus at one thing at a time. Sometimes I'm working on project the next second I'm watching RUclips. 🤦‍♀️
    3. Sleep schedule is messed up. It has been few years that I can't sleep early. Even when I'm doing nothing, I still can't fall asleep. If I sleep early, usually I can't have a good sleep because I often wake up suddenly. I also have vivid dreams.
    4. Lethargic. I often feel like doing nothing because I doesn't have the mood to do so. Sometimes it's going for days. Laying in my bed. It was like my soul is gone.
    5. Hard to follow schedule. I have made schedule once, but following the schedule seems like it's never gonna happen. But within last minute, I can working under pressure.
    😔There is so many symptom that I can relate to ADHD. If people say 10 symptom, I might as well have all of them. I'm planning to see psychiatrist next month. Wish me luck 🍀

    I have had this for decades now and haven't really been aware until 2010. The BEST thing you can do, and it's the same thing Joe Rogan did a long time ago when he got into martial arts, is find the thing that interests you the most (no matter what it is) and pursue after it. Along the way you should discover your life's purpose. Joe Rogan does a podcast that is world renowned now, but if it wasn't for the martial arts he pursued which led to commentating for the UFC which led to his TV shows which led to said podcast, we wouldn't know who he is. When you find something that absorbs your focus you can excel at it and become top tier, and there is ALWAYS room for people in any market space that are top-tier regardless of how the economy is doing.

    I was told by my parents about my conditions when I was really young and i realized later on that I got bullied unnecessarily for these traits. Some of my classmates thought I was too stupid to learn, or was intentionall trying disturb class. This caused alot of inner turmoil for me, I started to feel anxious of what people may say or think about me if I made simple errors or mistakes. Like if I was walking or moving too fast. I didn't want pity, I hated it but I didnt want to use it as an excuse for my short comings. I was always envious of my classmates for being able to do so well in multiple things while it seemed like I just kept struggling to get the basics. Thanks to some breif therapy, help from my mom and a real friend who wanted to help me improve, I got significantly better with managing it overtime. In the end, I hope anyone else who has this condtion completely believes that they can live a normal life. One where they can improve over and over again.

So its nice to have ACTUAL scientific studies to back up my frustrations

    A small thing to consider is the difference between your mind always flying at 100mph(something a fair few friends with ADHD tell me) and being channel focused in my child hood they thought my Asperger's was in fact ADHD and although they can seem close from the outside, a key difference is asd tends to create a prone to fascination that coupled with a channel minded behaviour can be seen to be easy to distract but it is always wise to differ the two, though other then this, those with brain hamsters that catch on fire I wish you well.

    I was diagnosed as a kid (I don't remember how old, but I was very young) and they tried one med at one dose, decided it didn't work, and then took the diagnosis off my charts for years. It wasn't until I advocated for myself a couple of years ago that I finally was able to get treatment. Now that I am on meds that help (for the most part) I feel less all over the place. I really wish these resources were available years ago so that there was less suffering in silence. We are learning more now so I am thankful for that.

    Now, I’m in 9th semester of my college. When most of my friends have graduated since few months ago, I’m here still struggling with my thesis. It’s because I tend to procrastinate for doing my thesis.
    I’ve spend my college life by doing my assignments mostly few hours before the deadline. Honestly I realize that I was wrong, but I still do that. I have intentions to do it, but I choose to suspend.
    I’ve been thinking about to seek for professional help since a long time a go.. but I’m afraid if it’s maybe me who just being lazy, like what my mom said.

    I see now ! And I thought I was being unproductive often because I was lazy but I do get distracted A LOT (especially when I am on my computer or outside). Pretty much all my life, I have struggled with organization and I would get scolded every school year by my mom because of her tendency to always be organized, no matter what. Therefore, I just felt defective in part because of that.
    I was diagnosed with PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) of the autistic type as a child and I learned recently that a comorbidity existed between ASD and ADHD, also, they did say in my diagnosis that I had a terrible lack of focus and organization so I don't know, since I relate to all of the signs I may have ADHD, I guess I will have to check it out myself later in my life.

    I have been diagnosed with adhd scince the age of 5 and I can tell you that all of this is true, I am well into my teens and can tell you that I am still struggling with some of these symptoms. So I just want to tell anyone on this video who has just been diagnosed to give yourself a break. You can't help that this is your life. All you can do is go with the flow. Their will be good and bad days you can make it through, I promise.

    to all of them but I'm also diagnosed so no wonder :D still, I love to watch these videos and to feel related to.
    Important to notice is that it's not always ADHD/ADD but the way you grew up or something else. So please don't diagnose yourself! When you feel you might have it and it makes your life feel problematic like you really struggle with it, you should try and see a psychiatrist. Not everyone knows about ADHD yet, there are a few that specialise in it and I warmly recommend to find them and talk to them :) Even more a reminder to just do it even though hardly anyone else would say that. ADHD is hard to diagnose because it overlaps with many different psychological problems or character traits and it's hard to differenciate (especially when it's ADD). Whether you have it or not, don't give up on yourself (or if you do, you can get to the nice part of life you deserve!)

    I'm currently very close to an ADHD diagnosis- I'm just watching these old videos for validity :,)

    After figuring out how hard it can be for a person with ADHD, I can feel proud that I have a friend with ADHD, I feel that I’m helping her in a way that is probably important to her.

    I hope I can say this without coming across weird, but I'm constantly distracted by how pretty and soothing your voice is 😊

    I'm 16 and everyday I'm using Discord to talk with my friends and I was being like ADHD for keep talking on Discord. But I can't memorized what I studied for school and my parents wanted me to do something in reality because it is a serious life to do and respect that. Thx.

    I have a terrible school life due to hyper focus, poor impulse control, and the inability to get organized, and the people around me say I’m just refusing to do things
