    this was sooo helpful. now i know i am the worst kind. i got over it in college but now that i'm 75 and have adhd it is horrible. i think i've figured out that if i perceive a possible negative outcome in handling an issue then i keep putting if off. if i had someone to 'hold my hand' and talk me through it with encouragement then i think i could do it. i used to call a friend to be with me on the phone while i opened an envelope that i just looked at for over a week because i was nervous about what was inside.

    I don't understand why these videos are telling the bosses what they need to do. We, the ADHDS have to be the ones to do it. Bosses won't make the effort. They'll just get someone else to do it. If you can't perform up to the boss' expectation, guess what, YOURE the one to be laid off next time it's time to make cuts, PERIOD. This is fine for kids but not for adults.

    I've had ADHD when I was younger, now I'm older and I'm not hyper anymore. The only problem I have is making friends. Women always give me an attitude or ignore me. It's so annoying, so I just don't talk to women, but the only nice women to me are lesbians, and I can only hang out with certain guys. Some funny guys are annoying, and military guys think they know everything, and there are some guys that just don't like hanging out with me. So I don't have a lot of friends.

    I think this is good advice but also incomplete. It’s exhausting to constantly shut down my default resting mode network and I don’t think people are meant to do that long term so I try to slowly replace what’s in it with things that make me feel good. It does take time and it’s hard, so shutting it down helps temporarily. Replacing the dmn is definitely working though, I have positive feelings come to me randomly sometimes.

    Thank you for this For putting time & effort into making life feels less overwhelming. I was diagnosed PRETTY EARLY in life at the age of 3 because of my hyper-aware mom who noticed patterns in my behavior and comments from relatives. In my early years and even through middle school I was the (Gifted Child) yet no one realized it took me triple the work just to do the bare minimum in daily tasks. Thank you for this, for YOU

  • @BartvanderHorst

    Interesting how neurology always talks backwards as if dmn state causes something. It doesn't It is the other way around these states and chemicals that release in the brain are not the cause of how we feel, they are a reflection of how we feel, People with ADHD have had a lot of negative experiences, their surroundings alway saying: Don't do this, keep quiet, you are lazy, why haven't you done this. For People with ADHD this (has been) a non stop experience day in day out, 12 months a year! especially in your youth... So it has never been really safe. And in this DMN state, these memories are always present to ruminate on. The DMN state is not the Demon, Those internalized memories are! and of course they surface when you are in reflective mode... It is a trauma response fueled by a Huge database of negative experiences... most people with ADHD unfortunately have. The strategy to get out of it, is good, but you need to build also a new database. right next to the old one. The old one won't go away, but you can build a new one. BUt this takes effort. For example when you cleaned the kitchen really sit down and look at it and tell yourself this was great effort, feel the relief of the complishment and use friendly and kind words to yourself. But also with simple and little things, every action that is benificial for your self esteem can be named and felt extra... Then you feed this database as much as you can. So when the DMN comes, it can slowly on tell a little different story. But it takes time and effort.

    I have long hair and even though is is very thin causes me to be overwhelmed by heat in the summer, so I put my hair in 2 plaits in summer and the parting running through the middle of my head helps the heat to dissipate (I suppose the hair being tight to the head with no air pockets helps too). I can put the palm of my hand on the back of my head and almost burn my hand when very hot!

    First off i love your videos and I'm very greatful for your work. They are so helpful and insightful. Thank you for making them. I feel your pain and I know exactly what you're going through. I live in the Seattle area as well and I have said many times that trying to get help for my mental health has been one of the biggest things working against it. I was diagnosed with ADHD in first grade and I am 46 years old now. Recently I took action to address my adhd and get treatment. After several days calling around to find a place that 1, takes my insurance. 2, was accepting new patients, and 3, treated adults with adhd. After a bunch of calling around and getting the run around I finally found a place. I had to meet up with a therapist who was really bad at her job (I think she was fresh out of school) and after 3 months of meeting with me on a weekly basis I was then able to meet with their psychiatrist who then prescribed me stimulants but then I went to the pharmacy to pick them up and the pharmacists laughed at me because apparently they haven't been able to get that medication in months. I'm glad it was funny for them because it made me want to scream! Between them and my insurance company wanting prior a authorization for everything it has been maddening trying to get the treatment I need. It is so hard to get help for anything not just ADHD. If it wasn't for my wife's help I wouldn't even have medical insurance because of the hoops you have to jump through to get it is like adhd kyptonite! I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. This whole system is bulls@&t. Hang in there and keep up the great work. You rock!

    I don’t know if i have ADHD (tho i have talked with a friend recently, and i feel like i might have it? I don’t know, i need to get tested) i have autism, epilepsy, and dyslexia, but i don’t know if i have ADHD. In terms of ADHD symptoms i can relate to…my brain has trouble shutting up (this makes it harder for me to fall asleep, more prone to Anxiety and intrusive thoughts), -Rants that go on for a long time??? -Increased speech rate when going on rate, -Brain never stops thinking -Shorter hyperfixations (for a few months, the year-long ones are mostly associated with autism, shorter ones with ADHD), my mind wondering and spacing out, trouble focusing on stuff I’m not very interested in, Procrastination and forgetting about a task or something, having trouble focusing on the task, and needing something to stay motivated and focused (for me, listening to music or a video, or just chatting with friends on discord helps a lot), noticing smaller details (tho this could be an autistic thing too), honestly I’m not sure i have it, but I feel like I might. Heck, it is more likely for someone with autism to also have AHDA, and ADHD appears differently in women than with men. My family never figured I had ADHD, because…I’m not hyperactive, I’m very stoic and reserved, I don’t move around much (tho I do tend to pace around a lot), and I can focus on stuff…But I also end up not focusing on something if it’s not in my interests. I don’t know, hopefully I can get tested soon

    I'm a manager, in a pharmacy (where I've worked for over 7 years) who has ADHD, and some of my employees have ADHD (also some with undiagnosed ADHD) , working with my direct supervisor who doesn't understand, rightfully so, and thinks I'm deliberately doing things, such as being late. I just struggle so much to get it right. I don't understand either! Lol Amongst other things, I also get distracted a lot and start doing other things while I'm suppose to be doing something else. Anyway, this video perfectly fits what I'm looking for at this exact moment. A talk with my Dr, HR, and my managers. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

  • @frankbailey2365
    @frankbailey2365 2 дні тому

    I dont normally comment and I know this is an older video but damn does it strike a chord. I was diagnosed at a very young age with ADD in the early 2000's (couldn't qualify for ADHD because at the time I was female presenting and "only boys can have ADHD" 🙄). I was put on a very early form of Ritalin and it practically zombified me for a year, I remember absolutely nothing from that year. I stopped taking the medication and was given no additional support up until only last year, life long in shambles by then bc doctors decided I would've "grown out of it by now". My ADHD reassesment clinic told me this to my face and they're sUPPOSED to be the professionals. Maybe with proper support and medication I would be able to at least somewhat HANDLE it by now but grow out of it? You're either joking or delusional. They force you through so many degrading hoops. I had my initial misguided and misogynistic diagnosis at 6-7 years old and at 27 - near 28- im only JUST starting to get the help I need and its infuriating. I could've avoided so much trauma if the people who think they know my condition better than I who live it daily, actually cared or knew what they were doing. (This is in New Zealand btw. Mental Heathcare System sucks here too. Dont even get me started on Transgender Healthcare. It seems inclusive from a distance and for the most part it is, but omg is it too little too late.)

    Jesus Christ, I feel seen. I was diagnosed as a kid and was prescribed Ritalin and then adderall. Never noticed how anything made me feel so I stopped taking meds (probably because I was in denial and thought I was fine) and when my parents found out, they were upset but didn’t correct me. Fast forward 20 years and it’s just gotten out of hand and the past few years….have just been super hard. Finally (been meaning to) booked an appointment to see a psychiatrist next week.

    I'm in my 40's and after seeing how it has helped my children to succeed, I asked my primary care physician about whether diagnosis and medication might be worth looking into at this point in my life, it was completely dismissed as "well everyone is going to focus better with stimulants." Well, come to find out after talking to a psychiatrist who works with people with ADHD, not even THAT statement is correct. It's very hard when so many people have been convinced that people with ADHD just haven't been beat enough. I'm just beginning my medication journey and am very hopeful.
