Exercising has DEFINITELY helped me get more focused and in the right mood to get things done. I always feel a bit sad when someone says that "exercising doesn't work for them" or that they hate exercising, cause it has helped me so much and i love how it makes me feel.
I love coffee, but I metabolize caffeine super slow. Even 4oz of coffee can make my anxiety go through the roof, and then I crash hard. I can not express how much better I feel being 100% caffine free. This has been an important lesson about my own personal adhd journey.
I've found caffeine helps with adhd symptoms but exacerbates the anxiety. Not great when you have to function in this exhausting neurotypical world. I've found alot of solutions to one problem can be skewed by the other comorbidities, so I'm interested in watching this video
Russel Barkley’s science updates described that caffeine does not alleviate adhd symptoms. It can have other benefits though. Also, it doesn’t give any energy. It’s just allows you to choose to have all your energy right now, rather than evenly throughout the day, hence the crash in the afternoon.

I’m going to try rejection and perfectionism therapy as an experiment. To create and put out there things I’m afraid are not good enough, and apply to freelance roles I’m afraid I’m not good enough for. Let’s run the experiment!
i've done #2 for the last several months and it made my nervous system and immune system better 😊 but people with heart conditions are not advised to do that because it might be dangerous for them, so if you have comorbid diseases such as high blood pressure, please consult your doctor before trying anything drastic ❤
What happens when you have ADHD, anxiety and depression? Cause I have them all... How can I control my nervous system in that case, and find inner balance?
I'll try turning off the hot water for the last few seconds in the shower. I'm actually fearful of the painful sensation in my chest. I can hardly handle frozen foods when taking them out of the freezer. Anyone else experience that? Maybe it's a sensory thing.
that's the point of cold showers for anxiety, it's supposed to unsettle your nervous system for a few minutes, it's a great way to tell your body "it's okay, you're safe" even if it's super uncomfortable. although if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure, it might be dangerous for you to try this, so you should consult with your doctor, or just stick to the other tips mentioned in the video
Could you link research to all these points please. Especially re the 3 physical components of vagus nerve in relation to the 3state? I've never seen that before
Coffee… only after eating a fair amount of food + before supper-preferably before 5 pm, otherwise… coffee’s not so hot. My fingers might start shaking. …Cold plunging? Pregnant people have been doing this. …Yoga🧘🏽♀️ goes without saying. Cheers.
Thank you for such a great video and for sharing your experiments! :) Definitely agree with any sort of physical activity. I was doing yoga 2 times a week some years ago and it was helping immensely with being productive, focused and collected (I stopped because I moved to a different country). I actually have a yoga mat in my closet, so I will try and experiment with this and see how it goes! I did notice that having an awful sleeping schedule is just spiking my anxiety and irritation a lot, so I'm working on fixing that one up to begin with as well :)

There is definitely a need for more ways to manage ADHD naturally :-)

Yeah I find that too… 1 or 2 cups are ok but not much more

Drink after a meal, but before supper. Cheers.
Any stimulant does that, is why it's important to moderate

Dancing always makes me feel amazing.

Appreciate this content! Thanks! 😊❤
Cold plunging is definitely a good thing 🥶 It’s challenging and definitely worth it!!
I use a really hot sauna. I prefer heat to the cold plunge

Hello, I was wondering if you could please tell me your yoga routine?
I'll try turning off the hot water for the last few seconds in the shower. I'm actually fearful of the painful sensation in my chest. I can hardly handle frozen foods when taking them out of the freezer. Anyone else experience that? Maybe it's a sensory thing.
I hate going through my freezer that I ask my partner to do it 😢

I think I am experiencing freeze response, please help
It looks like there is no consenses about this nervous system stuff in science?

Google Polyvagal theory by Dr. Steven Porges. It's quite popular.
Hot yoga is my morning coffee. I am so in love with how good I feel during and after.
