One of the MAIN reasons why I KNEW I had ADD when I researched it was because alot of the "symptoms" people were talking about on an ADD site forum were saying "I feel like a loser" "I never reach my goals like everyone else" "My life is going nowhere fast" The negativity comes from realizing you are different mentally and we can not control it or fix it so we get down on ourselves because society as a whole has taught us different=bad that's B.S. We are comparing ourselves & performance to others when we have no business doing that we need to compare our growth to where we used to be. Don't let that overtake you because it will consume you and send you into an anxiety spiral. Trust me I know I start to get anxious about everything I need to do and haven't done and what I am not doing well compared to others & then I breath pray and remember ok well my brain is different I can do 5 things at once I can write it down if I need to remember so I don't forget and make it fun by listening to music and not get distracted. We were born this way for a reason girl because we can handle it. :) It's like a building they put all the weight on steel beams not paper ;) You have more strength and intellect than most think on that remember the positive and breath one day at a time, one project at a time.
IT is not a problem, I wanted to be able to connect with other people that can relate. There are many difficult things that people must face on a daily basis, that for some reason are ignored in society today. It is nice knowing that you are not alone in your struggle.
Thank you so much for sharing a lot of people wouldn't open up like this, But I understand how you feel I suffer from some of same issues. And sometimes friends say they understand, but I feel unless you truly know first hand, you just might not know at all.
Your welcome, I know I am not alone, there are millions who suffer silently in the shadows because of socialization, stereotypes and stigmas. I refuse to live in fear of judgement from other people. These issues I have make me stronger, make me fight harder and do not make me weak! I am starting to come to grips with this new concept, I... like so many other people accept societal norms and try to blend in or fit in and be "normal". I am okay with not being "normal", I am okay being me. I am unique in a ton of different ways and I would much rather embrace those difference that make me stand out along the rest. :)
Wow, girl thank you for sharing! More people need to watch this video, just to see some realness, to see a real person who struggles with mental illness! I deffinetly can relate to feeling the need to fight to do things, and procrastination. Sitting there thinking ok I'm going to get this done, it needs to get done, I want to get it done. But I don't end up getting it done! I just started watching your videos, and just started doing my own nails, now we have 2 things in common, nails and anxiety ;) Am subscribing :)
Thank you! :) I was torn about porting the video, but to be honest I was tired of feeling ashamed of having to a mental illness. There are millions of people that deal with mental illness in the world, society shouldn't shun then! Thanks for watching and subscribing! :)

Thank you. It is a struggle, unfortunately I have to face my fears every day, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?!?! :) Truth be told, every day I have were I conquer my anxiety, I feel like I truly have accomplished a lot. Making small notes throughout the day of little hurdles seems to help.
+Love4NailArt im glad i found your videos because its going to be a big help because u know what the struggles are and i understand what u are talking about
Thankyou so much for sharing this vlog and your feeling, thoughts etc.. I have so much respect yet sympathy for you and although I don't have the health problems you do have other than some issues with anxiety myself I too struggle day by day everyday and night just taking it one day at a time bc, I have so many bad health problems it's been a long life struggle but, I'm thankful to God above that I'm still alive just still living bc, it's not only for me or about me but, it's also about my two beautiful daughters that are my life! I have many many major and minor health problems I've dealt with since birth I have Muckle Wells Syndrome, Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus (SLE) for short or "LUPUS", Rhumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Masses & Tumors in my lower abdomen & pelvis & all around both kidneys, I'm also in stage 3 but almost stage 4 kidney disease, Micro Valve Prolapse in my heart, Diabetes and Osteoporosis and that's most of my health problems but not all.. If you ever need someone to just vent & talk too hit me up hang in there and take care :)
Wow, thank you for watching my video and sharing your story with me. I am sorry to hear of all the things you have had to struggle with in your life. I too am thankful to God, I hope everything works for you and your children.
Thank you so much! I have been watching your RUclips videos for a while now and enjoy them! I have been thinking about starting a daily vlog but, I'm sorta needing some help and tips on it my mom has a computer and lap top but they are so slow and I don't want to use them it hurts me to sit in the old chair so is there anyway I can record my vlogs and upload them and adjust them etc from just using my iPhone and iPad?!? I hope thar you are feeling better and doing better I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you but, I just found this and didn't know you had responded back until I saw it lol if you would like to keep in touch that's fine with me and if not I'm ok with that as well anyways I will ttys take care :)
+Colton Hall I've struggled off and on with my mental health issues. 2 years ago was a extremely bad period in my life. I can thankfully say that although everything is not currently perfect, things have gotten better. I know that there were many dark times throughout my life where I truly believed that it would not ever get better. Thankfully keeping the mind state that I needed to just get through it day by day has really helped. I journal daily now. It helps me keep some of the sticky stuff in perspective. I also journal and write down 5 things each day that I am thankful/grateful for to help remind me that somethings in my life are still good. I also push myself to do 1 thing a day for myself that I truly enjoy doing. I make time for it, or even force myself to do it at times and it really does help improve me mood. I really appreciate all of the comments and messages I received from this video.
you are welcome, I was feeling extremely alone and depressed on top of everything else, and I hate to say it, but it can and will get better. I have found many ways to help manage my anxiety day to day and slowly over time things have improved for me.
@@prkypink hard to admit but what you have I have all of it plus the hassle of cultural guilt. I hate it when people push you into a spectrum that labels you as different and not only that deny you of any chance at all to prove you can when they know you need help medically just to be normal. Your video is a strength that you are shining through. But could I ever get enough courage to do the same? Shame and guilt is all I feel. Even when I didn't do anything wrong. Not only that, it's just not my own experience that gets to me. But statistically speaking the numbers of people who are to shameful to even seek any kind of help. Thanks for doing what you do. I am Maly and hoping to get stronger like you by facing it and getting help.
I have the same diagnoses!! Ah!!
I too suffer from GAD, you have my sympathy, can be so frightening. Love your posts :)
Well thanks for coming through to my page! I agree it can be frightening at times.
