I've literally just had my first assessment appointment today. I'm 54 and all these years I just knew I was different. I asked them at the end if I was on the right path. They nodded emphatically yes. They can't give me a diagnosis for a few weeks just yet, but the relief after that one answer feels astonishing. My final meeting is Monday. I love to clean. But my main computer room is a mess, the rest of the house is spotless. Don't be hard on yourself, easy to say, hard to do.

Hi are you still taking this? If you are has there been any side effects since this video? I’m considering asking to switch over from sertraline

You are so strong ❤ Thank you for this video

I totally relate to the visual thinking. I sometimes watch movies in my head and play music. It's an awesome ability.

For me the hard part is remembering everything in the moment of the assessment. I'll have lucid moments at home where I'm keenly aware of everything wrong, but any kind of outside distraction just throws that out of the window. It's really hard to conceptualize ADHD to someone that doesn't have it, and it's really hard to recognize things that aren't normal but you yourself have normalized. I didn't get a diagnosis until 38 years old and a lot of that is because of learned behaviors to hide symptoms (constantly wiggling my big toe instead of fidgeting, for example.) I think once a Psychiatrist starts to go down the road of ADHD it all starts to click very quickly, it's finding the on ramp to that road in therapy that's really hard to do. I have a Physician who has Adult ADHD and speaking to him about it is night and day to any other health professional I've ever encountered. I wish it were an easier thing for those who don't have it to understand.

I'm 36 and in November I started to having POCD. Anxiety 24/7, fear, insomnia etc etc. The 30 of November I started taking diazepam, eventually around middle December the theme changed to schizophrenic ocd I thought I'm schizophrenic or I will become one, so that was the last straw I booked an appointment with a psychiatrist 27th of December and he diagnosed me with ocd and gad. Now those themes went away and health themes are present. The worst one was pocd I couldn't manage it. The health ocd is kind of lighter I'll say I manage it a bit better.

i needed this so bad omg. im staring down a mountain of clothes to sort n donate, i will comment how much i get done by the end of the video!

I love u...and love your content ❤

I put laundry away but now I'm laying down 😢 edit: cleaned car (didn't vac), put things away in garage, put my robot vac on, am doing more washing, got to give away something on marketplace but I'm back to laying. Watching this video has really helped though. It's great

I’ve been meeting to do my laundry for specifically like my underwear and socks and a few other pajama clothes and I did it but I needed some help hanging them so I did it. This video was very helpful. Thank you.

I dried my hair to this! Thank you!!❤ love this vids

I need help, I find myself to relate to many of these-and things other publications mention, my father was diagnosed with adhd when he was younger, but he cannot recall much from his childhood and didn’t notice any “behaviors” from me when I was a child. I suffer from horrible memory and I honestly cannot remember a lot of the behaviors I had as a kid besides speaking to much/fast(resulting in the phrase “too much”, especially remember this at doctors appointments ), constantly moving my legs/tapping my fingers, standing on the sides of my feet/rolling my ankles as movement, and walking on my tippy toes, all of which I still do to this day. As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed I’ve became much more sensitive to my surroundings, especially to my senses and to the people around me, for all my life I thought it was normal to need to “analyze” someone’s face entirely, it takes me months to be able to recognize what each muscle movement on someones face indicates, and I don’t think I have adhd but I have so many behaviors I cannot explain… for instance I struggle with eye contact, no matter who the person is, the most I can do is take a glimpse and look away, staring in the general area. I also enjoy rocking back and forth ALOT, same with leg shaking or bouncing while standing , I don’t recall doing this as a kid though, it’s a stress reliever but I also do it when I’m happy? People have also pointed out I sometimes make weird hand gestures especially if I touch something (like Sherpa 💔) This has turned into a rant I apologize, I am still fairly young and things are now getting very important in school, i used to be a straight A who just struggled to maintain hobbies and now i feel as if i either fixate on something it’s my whole life or im so uninterested in everything im practically floating flesh. I truly need advice, I find these behaviors tend to be more frequent/harder to suppress when I’m stressed. There’s a lot more that I’m not sure is important, but I need to know, do I reach out or do more research? (I was previously on a SSRI on and they failed to work, I read upon the association between failure and adhd and that also now has me questioning EVERYTHING 😭)

This was great Audhd baddie!! Hope you are doing well today!!!

Good evening. you made a very long video to tidy up the house, otherwise you wouldn't be doing it, that's why I understand you, I have the same problem

I did laundry! Put away one load while the other was in the machine. Thanks for the body double!

im crying and folding my laundry this video really helps not being alone while not feeling like i can socialize hahah

I love you for this !! Thank you ❤️

I don't think AuDHD shares anything, that is why everyone is so confused, they haven't yet figured us out and they hate that they can't stuff us into tiny little boxes. Mostly ignore AuDHD and focus on the sub traits that influence our day. Like I bump into stuff if I try to walk and solve world hunger at the same time, so I've learned to focus on one or the other.

I'm in these position rn, it makes me so distressed and fear that "I might become one" or actually "one of it, I just dont realize it", it makes me even feel like I'm about to vomit, I have it for 4 days now..I even caught a bad fever and dizziness right now because of it and lastly I feel like I'm about to lose my connection with people my age 😢

Love your candor, storytelling, and kooky energy! 🤩

I have been touched sexually touched as a kid by my parents and from then on I’ve had trouble with sexual frustrations. I feel super afraid of this topic. Last month around after new year I was scrolling through rule34 and by seeing some tags I started obsessively thinking that I’m a pedo bc of what I’ve seen. I’ve tried to talk to my bf and my friends back then, it was the worst feeling ever trying to pretend that I’m okay. At times I even felt that I should separate myself from everyone and go end it. Thankfully I found this topic of ocd and it has eased me a little. I know now what to work towards to get a better mentality. And I also got the courage to talk to my bf about it. And he’s being so supportive, I’m still afraid that it might change once I talk about it more but I hope my worries won’t ever become true. I really wanna have a future with him and a family so it’s been extremely hard.

I love this! I put it on then got up, then started watching other videos then came back halfway through putting away months of laundry clean 😂

I got sa’d by my dad as a child and I think I got a really big imposter syndrome that I might do the same thing as he did and that later on became pocd esp that I would sa my little brother who I love alot and I’m very protective about. Luckily enough my mom actually struggled with pocd and both my girlfriend, closest friends were supportive of me, but I still struggle it’s slow but with therapy it gets better slowly. My mom is a big motivation for me since she can now handle her pocd and let go of the thoughts directly. I’m really sorry for everyone out there who lost friends and family members because they misunderstand your disorder ❤

Hi, I am 45 and I relate to your video so much! From finding it hard to keep the house in order, to having been a shy child who didn't know how to behave around her peers, to questioning whether all this is autism + ADHD and feeling like an impostor. I am also Romanian 😊. A lot of times I think that it might not be autism, because I don't exhibit some of its typical features, but then I remember my daughter does exhibit them (sensitivity to food textures, for instance). We have both decided to get tested, first for ADHD and then for autism. I am going to write down my experiences and look for old pictures (I remember trying to pose in "cool" positions, which I'll probably find ridiculous now), and I also hope that, if I start taking ADHD medication, everything will become clearer. Thank you so much for your video, I cried because I felt truly seen!

Bold of you to assume that there is enough empty space on the floor to roll on. It's a parcour over here.

Everyone here i dont have ocd anymore i had a litle bit of religious ocd when my ex friend forced me into a mosque but when i stoped going it all went away. I think you can get over it. I dont have pocd anymore i am doing verry good i even think i am cured so keep strong.

Fuck people who dont get pocd they are uneducated ignorant and stupid. I had ocd for a long time its shit. I had every single type.

I was educated about ocs before i was diagnosed

dude this was literally perfect, i totally got into the zone that i cleaned almost my entire room, thank you so much! (also i 100% agree about peaches videos!)

I have adhd and ocd i take atomoxotine for adhd for ocd i take quetiapine and trazadone. It can deffo be a nightmare and im still trying to figure out who i am going to the gym and working out is brilliant but sometimes i end up obsessing about the gym then it becomes not as enjoyable.

Omg you should teach a ND dance class in person live or online. You could be like Cassie Ho for us Neurodivergents

You remind me of Chappell Roan with her natural/light makeup look in the beginning of the video ❤ so pretty!!

You should do a get ready for bed with me!

Hi, so I just need closure on this one random thing that happened some time ago. I was trying to get my hair into a ponytail and I couldn't get the tightness perfect and i was getting frustrated and I literally started crying. Over my hair. My dad said that this is perfectly normal. Is it?? Please help lol.

My god your bodylanguage is so similar to mine Im going crazy over here!!!! Adhd and ocd diagnosed here, and going after the diagnosis of autism and possibly bipolar disorder Did you ever get checked for Ehler Danlos syndrome? I have a strong suspicion im that too cuz I have like literally all the symptoms !!!!!!!

I have been wondering for a while now about this, I am 39 and got diagnosed with ADHD at 36. After I started taking Adderall I noticed that while I could concentrate a lot better and didn't forget entire conversations mid way through them, I wasn't able to tolerate things that previously only bothered me minimally. I also started noticing traits that my son has that I have as well that I didn't know were autistic traits until we started getting him assessed for Autism (He has since been diagnosed with mild Autism.)

Honestly I have been thinking I’m audhd ever since I started unmasking my adhd after my diagnoses 7 months ago, and started really digging into everything that I’ve been experiencing throughout my life that I just ignored or assumed everyone was like me. Hearing this video and the things you listed made me feel so heard and understood so I really appreciate you for doing this and sharing your experience.

I absolutely LOVE all the bright places! Movie and novel

This is very helpful ! Thank you!!

16:01 this is hilarious!!!! Very relatable

It’s bc we have ocd too
