I hear you. I was born a loser; short, ugly, bad genetics, dumb. I struggled with anxiety & depression all my life becoming an alcoholic at one point. Too dumb for college. Worked slave labor jobs all my life just to get by. Now I'm an old man on a fixed income = old man loser. 😆 No GF, no friends, no hope. Society doesn't tolerate losers - society expects men to be handsome, tall, intelligent, wealthy, etc, to be considered a winner. Sad but true 😔

In actual psychological terms, the pop - psych term "empath" translates to someone who is overly sensitive due to past trauma. People use the term like it's some kind of superpower. It isn't. In reality it means hyper vigilance, extreme sensitivity to others moods because as a child you had to be very attuned to your parent/carers moods in case they flew off the handle or started crying. It's not pleasant and most people who think they're empaths are actually either just hurt, damaged people, or just idiots.

My mum who had dementia ran out of tablets on time and they at the drs would order them and they wasn’t even at the chemist she was registered to, it would be in another location out the way. Or they would claim that they hadn’t had the repeat request at all. And when you have people with dementia who can overtake them sometimes you have more chaos on your hands. I think it was deliberate as it was ongoing the duration of her illness till she died

ADHD is a modern term which in the old days is a condition called laziness. The symptoms are not wanting to do something that needs to be done. The symptoms appear in most children. There was a natural cure for that called "hard times". The modern world has taken that away for most people.

The term loser is actually a nasty one, people with mental and physical conditions, carers, prisoners, loners, incells, childless could all fall into this category. So the people that make bombs and start wars are the winners?

You have led a very easy life up to now .. think about this .. if you weren’t bailed out by your parents you would have HAD to have worked. You’ve been privileged in a way that most people don’t get . Needs must and you’ve never really needed to work have you ? No wonder you’re depressed.

I understand where you’re coming from, and my dad used to speak in a similar way, so I’ve heard these perspectives before. You’re right in saying I was fortunate to have the parents I did-they were a blessing in many ways and likely kept me from ending up in far worse situations. But privilege doesn’t shield someone from all struggles. At 28, I found out I was adopted, which crushed me mentally and emotionally. I’ve also experienced hardships unrelated to work: being stabbed in London, bullied at school, and dealing with the challenges of ADHD or neurodivergence. Without the support I had, I might have ended up in the gutter-or even in jail, as some do. I do respect your point, and I can see where you’re coming from, but I hope you’ll understand that struggles aren’t always visible. I still love my dad even though he didn’t fully understand me.

I was diagnosed with ADHD 9years ago, although though i don't completely disagree with the diagnosis after further rigorous research & self analysis &a willingness to be rigourously honest with myself ,i now realize what I'm dealing with, which is complex post traumatic stress disorder.Adhd& being on the Autism spectrum have become over used buzz words in our society.Many researchers& clinician,those that read write & publish research papers in journals are coming to the realisation now that ADHD is a post traumatic condition.The pharmaceutical companies had a vested interest in convincing doctors that ADHD was something you was just born with and was a chemical inbalance like many other mental health conditions, and could be fixed by popping a pill.For the record,the medication used to treat children who are still in the process of early brain development with "ADHD"is a form of methamphetamine & amphetamine which are very strong forms of speed&have very strong links to later life psychosis. Another big symptom of trauma you mentioned is the hypervigilance ,the continuously scanning the environment for threats & danger.Just some thoughts on the matter,i wish you well,ive been watching your channel for a while now,many of your life patterns resonate with me.

Thankyou for this… I also feel the same way , I have c-ptsd and have wondered if I had ADHD or on the spectrum but I asked my therapist if she thought I had any spectrum disorder but she didn’t think so. It’s a part of c-ptsd that makes you feel like you’re always on edge or looking over my shoulder , feeling overwhelmed by very small tasks and having a social anxiety , even have persistent sweating when I go out anywhere but not when I’m at home which is interesting.

I know tons of folk who struggle with forms. Some very intelligent, some very articulate (heavyweight journal editors etc), some dyslexic. So who/what would have "formitis" - those that struggle with them, or those insisting in communicating in the unnatural manner?
@HealingJourneys-jn9ly4 күн бұрын
I see what you're saying about forms being a struggle for many people, regardless of intelligence or abilities-it’s true that forms (and overly rigid systems) can feel unnatural or frustrating. But the key difference is why people struggle with them. For someone with ADHD, it’s not just about forms being boring or overly formal. It’s about executive dysfunction-the brain’s inability to organize, prioritize, or sustain focus long enough to complete the task, even if they want to. It’s not just inconvenient; it’s paralyzing, and the same thing happens with countless other daily tasks. So while forms might be annoying to most people, ADHD turns 'annoying' into 'immobilizing.' That's why it’s important to recognize that ADHD is about much more than a dislike for bureaucratic processes-it’s a condition that impacts every part of life, including how we engage with even the simplest tasks. I hope that clears up the difference a bit!
@icouldbewrongicouldberight4 күн бұрын
@@HealingJourneys-jn9lythe individuals I know with difficulties, a very common history is head injury/concussion. The frontal lobes very often are involved in say a car accident, and that's where executive tasks are usually processed. I know Gerald has a history 🤕 Some struggle - even get agitated - even if the questions are read out & someone else does the form completion. Perhaps G's friend with cancer could help if G doesn't find that overwhelming. PIP awards points if you struggle with paperwork etc, and it's meat and potatoes work for social workers/support workers. But maybe the latter assistance (via local council) can't be obtained for business endeavours. Maybe G should apply for PIP, but the PIP application form is 20+ pages!!

You wouldn't have ADHD if your House was on Fire.
@gerofiore96954 күн бұрын
If your house is on fire, you still have ADHD. A life-threatening emergency doesn’t change that-it’s just a situation that demands immediate action and provides the dopamine surge that people with ADHD often lack in everyday life. In fact, many people with ADHD are known to perform better under high-pressure or chaotic situations because their brain finally gets that dopamine hit. I think your point might be that ADHD is just an excuse and that emergencies ‘prove’ someone can get things done when pushed. That’s partially true-high-stakes situations do create the urgency we struggle to generate for mundane tasks like reading bills, cleaning a room, or attending appointments. But that push isn’t naturally there for day-to-day life, and that’s where ADHD makes things so challenging
