Thank you for this, I'm 37 and still have a hard time explaining my thoughts, feeling and emotionals. I'm undiagnosed but on the waiting list... Everyday is overwhelming and no one understands. You understand adha perfectly. Keep doing what your doing. ❤
I am awful for endlessly scrolling, there are so many things I want to do on my days off but I will stay in bed for several hours after waking up just scrolling. Even when it is no longer stimulating to me I will just swap between apps and go back onto the last one just bored out of my mind. But I really can't be bothered doing anything i want to do. I did enjoy this video though beth, cant wait to see more of these
Ahhh you’re not alone as I do the same!! Hopefully one day we can break the habit of scrolling :) thank you!
I feel you 💯
Just turn the phone off put it in a drawer and go for a walk do some shopping etc.
This hit me for sure, I'm a 25yr old graduate and most of my screen time comes from working 12hr shifts tbf but i definitely have felt similar feelings that you have
If its any help, what I've found helps me is to absolutely push myself out my comfort zone and make every day worthwhile
So, now I'm in a part time post grad diploma that I do at work, I pushed myself to join a drama group and to focus only on what I know I have and never on anything I don't, always feel that linked to overscrolling on social media
Idk if thats any help, or if the adhd has stopped you getting this far on this lengthy post😅 thanks for the vid, think your very eloquent and engaging so I was never bored watching the video
Love your video as everything you talk about I understand as I'm exactly the same. I'm 50 now so a fair bit older than you so I know what it was like before mobile phones and social media. I used to have Facebook which I have deactivated. Also I used to have twitter and snapchat but I've deleted both of them. My main problem now is I'm addicted to RUclips and just generally googling things especially when I get bored like you said. Life was so much better before mobile phones and I'm seriously considering just getting a basic phone that just does texts and calls when my contract runs out in November. Life was so much better and less stressful and anxious before mobile phones. Anyway hope you're OK and I've subscribed to your channel 😊
Thank you for posting this. This resonates with me completly. Im not one for diagnosing and adding labels, we all have our quirks and things that make us individual for sure but I would have for a label to define me.
Your diagnosis has helped you and I love how you've used your addiction to your advantage.
Whether or not your brain dump has structure or nnit is immaterial, the fact that you got it out has made me think about my own life and habits. Thank you for that. 😊
I like you girl😊
I can't imagine trying to get thru college and form a life plan now... I was in college in 2004-2012 mostly so a little before smartphones took over. It's really disappointing. And kids aren't to blame for it. These companies are taking over the world.
Has social media replaced the old addage "being alone in a room full of people"? Has it removed the value and true impact of success, acheivement etc, when we race to produce social media worth celebrations, for others to enjoy?
I have a love hate relationship with social media (IG/YT content accounts). There are many benefits to social media, but I'm still massively unconvinced that they outweigh all the negatives. Sure take some pictures with friends, film a happy birthday video, but put down the phone and enjoy people, times and places. We are massively missing out on the real world, in exchange for a digital version.
Keep on being the real you, its appreicated ❤
p.s more floof-potatos please, they are super cute
I definitely think social media has removed all aspects of success, achievement and true enjoyment! I know I personally tell social media parts of my life a lot quicker than I should, like my successes, my hard times, or anything else really. There’s times I don’t let myself process things before posting, and it’s a regret if mine looking back.
Social media has been great for me as it taught me about ADHD, but recently it’s consumed my life. I adore making content as it’s given me a hobby, but with making content comes the scrolling to find the latest ‘trends’ or ‘algorithm updates’. And with that scrolling comes missing important parts of my life
I have a terrible memory so I love taking photos / videos of important things BUT there needs to be a clear boundary between taking a photo for a memory and enjoying the moment
My dog does the same thing, as soon as I start filming it's drinking & munching time lol
Thanks for sharing this! Great video!💕
i've been freaking out been addicted since i was a child and im in my 20's now its so ducking sad bro.
Great video Beth! We'll make plans soon and leave your phone at home and do something nice xxx
Lots of love, Emily
Will you remember me when you get famous?
