No fingers left 😢

I can definitely relate..

My grandma was from Estonia had schizophrenia,my mom said it was because she lived through WW2,I was very afraid of her as a child.ive met others with it and I'm really trying to understand.thank you for your video as this puts my grandma in a different light.she caused my mother so much stress to where at 77, she's still traumatized.R.I.P. Vega Emma, I'm sorry I was afraid of you.

I remember i was less than 5 and i always tried to protect my mom from my dad. I didnt want to passed out ( i got beated up too) to be in between. I have cptsd

School and work got very affected in my life.

I am so incredibly envious of how supportive your mom was, sending flowers to you at school because you were depressed. Wish I had that…

This was I went through. Never thought to share this anywhere . I need to heal myself for me and my husband. He deserves a wife who is whole

This felt like you were describing me and my struggles. I went down the perfectionist route and now I'm debilitated by self loathing and poor self esteem.

I just figured it all out

Sounds like perimenopause

How the hell can you miss this?

Thank you!! Your support focuses on the need for the son or daughter to survive and protect themselves. I’m so relieved, was worried when I saw the title of the video. Step 1 - leave is the best advice ever.

This video came at the right time 🫠 Thank u ❤

@kati_morton why did you post this knowing people will grossly misinterpret your data and self diagnose. Since topics need to be protecting amongst the league of professionals and people need to contact these professionals if they want an assessment.

Now people will start to self diagnose.

We love you Kati!

I’m a 52 yr old woman - my son told me I had adhd (he’s 15). My much younger colleagues, when I overshared that conversation all said the same thing- we thought you knew! I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and have been medicated for it for 30 years. It’s a whole new journey now.

I was diagnosed at 40 after a life of anxiety disorders & depression. It wasn’t until my 6 year old niece was diagnosed and I learned it was genetic. My sister said she thought maybe she had it. So I started watching/ready literally anything I could find on adult women diagnosed with ADHD. I realized that feeling like I was “stupid” or “broken” or beyond help was due to undiagnosed ADHD. I wanted to be absolutely positive that this was what I had so I went for nuero psych testing. It was 5 or 6 hours long. My results were so low in so many categories which that I feel quick stupid. However those results made one thing glaringly obvious, I did infact have ADHD. I did ok in school, but I now realize that I excelled in the subjects I loved and struggled in the ones that were no interest to me. As a teen and young adult I always felt things were “off” I had a doctor tell me that I must be in a manic episode (even though I was not diagnosed with bipolar) because I was excited about something and talking very fast. Turns out I was just passionate and wanted to get all the words out before I forgot. I would constantly interrupt people, I would overshare. I would sit and rock in my chair or on my sofa or bite my lip. I struggled with alcohol abuse in my early 20s because I never felt like I fit in. Now 44 and having been on stimulants for 2 years, I never imagined a life like this. One where I can solve problems for others, I can take about something I just read without tripping over my words. I don’t space out when talking about something for more than a minute or so or lose my train of thought. It’s sad that I missed out on so much, but I’m really glad women are getting diagnosed properly now. Please get tested if you are reading this and it sounds like you. The diagnosis was absolutely life changing.

What about people with bipolar 1 as well as major depressive disorder

The Europeans have control all people worldwide for power

That’s for you 🫂

I fired my therapist because we started a relationship. It is very one sided because they know everything about you.

I can't cry too. I forgot the last time I did cry. When my grandma died three years. I could not cry and it wasn't because I wanted to, but it just couldn't come out.

9 out of 10

I had narcissists try to destroy me. But it does not work because God will not let that happen. Let God have his glory in you. The lies cannot and never do win ♥️

This was such a good video! I was recently diagnosed on the spectrum and ADHD and realize that I spent my whole life working extra hard and had perfectionistic tendencies because my natural tendencies looked like I was lazy even though I probably worked harder cleaning and cleaning. I can spend a whole day cleaning and then in one morning getting ready everything is completely unorganized and all over the place again. Ugh, and the Oversharing!

Emphasis on the narcissistic family members

Yes 🎉queen ! I am adhd and I was held back in 1992 age 6 to repeat a transition 1st grade due to the misunderstandings for girls with adhd which was 1/2 chemical 1/2 raised in a strict religious home

Hi Kati! It's great to see you in the new year! Once again you hit the nail on the head. This is really helpful, because I find myself getting frustrated when people try to help me, especially at work (custodian). It just messes with my process and the way I see things going; I get agitated but hold it in... Lately I've been catching myself doing this and I'll step out for a sec and try to remind myself that being part of a team means I need to let the team help me, even if I believe that "I have it all under control." I appreciate you making this because I'll try some of those tips. I just don't like the idea of being "exposed" to others (I think differently (with often contrasting ideals) and more structured than most people, and it could be off-putting at times; I have a sharp tongue and think strongly in my own way, and I don't want to risk upsetting someone by my opinions. But I'm willing to open up a bit to the team, at least in conversation and allowing them to help lighten ny workload. Thank you so much!

I have some concepts I’ve been working with. (The facial expressions of the person in the video kind of tweaked one of my borders) Firstly, the more we learn about this stuff.. the worse it can get. Secondly, we need to know our culture and understand proper roles we play. Alters come in when wires get crossed. Sometimes, when we are trying to be alys it makes us go above what we are actually capable of. It’s a good defence mechanism because we are always ready to argue. With that, we can also learn about the counterculture of the 1960s to understand how our cultures have changed.

Thank you ! You are so heart warming, ❤❤❤ Im a subscriber from Uruguay . In treatment for PMDD . This is so helpful. 🙏🇺🇾❣️❣️❣️

Both of my parents are mentally ill, and so I am. It is very exhausting to have to deak with my own head while being scared of talking to my parents, on top of taking care of my little brother

every video on night terrors waste time on nightmares!

It’s crazy how I feel every point you make in this video in my life. I’m 26 years old and I’ve been dealing with every sign you mentioned my whole life. Thank you so much for the knowledge ❤

I didn't know I'd be crying for 26 mins today but here we are 🥺🤍

Hugs to all 🥺🥺🥺🥺

One of the most liberating, freeing, hardest, most beneficial thing I have done is finally cut ties with my narcissistic mother and family the encouraged it.

Yeh u sound like me every time I see council tax bill.

I had one. I simply had no coping skills and didn't know how to take care of myself.

What if none of these suggestions work? All medication does to me is make me sleep for days at a time. I’m talking about only one dose so that’s not an option for me.

I love being alone & I am very reserved. I thoroughly enjoy time to myself. But lately, I have felt so alone. So lonely. It hurts.

Now am having doubts whether its just hormones doing this or not

Thanks for being so respectful to this feelings . I agree with you. Sometimes even if we find help, the fact that emotional abusive manipulative narcicistic o psicopath family members won t change is really painful

10000% agree. Unless you’re a parent to a very young child that is your responsibility. Other people are not your responsibility, one of the joys of being an adult, other people are not responsible for you nor are you responsible for them and the relationship is voluntary. Even if it’s your parent or grandparent/ guardian, if they are manipulative, controlling, emotionally, mentally or physically abusive It’s a hard decision cutting ties with family but if they’re detrimental to your health and not respecting/ understanding your boundaries then sometimes walking away is what needs to happen.

I do this a lot. For example, just an hour and a half ago when I was starting my therapy session, when she asked how things had been going I was a bit tired of kind of lying a bit, so I dodged the question so I didn't have to lie to her. I said something along the lines of "It's going" or "Well, time passes..." or something like that and she did call me out on it, but this session I sort of forced myself to open up a bit more instead of putting on this persona of "I'm fine, I just have a few of these tiny issues...". I'm glad I was able to open up a bit more, even if I still have a long way to go.

My distractions get distracted

I went through catatonic schizophrenia and was unable to do things that required motor function like brushing my teeth or hair or even going to the bathroom I was miserable but I have stayed in therapy for years and have seen a lot of improvement in the little moments I enjoy I feel like I'm not even sick just different

Every time I watch one of these videos about ADHD in women, I can relate to pretty much everything and even at age 62, wonder if I have undiagnosed ADHD. 🤔 Someone I know was diagnosed as an adult, but said it was a very arduous and expensive journey to get her diagnosis. I'm wondering what we can do to feel less "crazy" or depressed about what goes on inside us?

This is how I experienced the world from the age of 18 till 3 weeks ago. And I'm 41 now. I had 9000+ panic attacks during that time period. I stopped them totally a few weeks ago and I'm becoming a person again.
