On a random day I’ll be happy and doing fine…and then in a short amount of time my mood starts to drop even though it was untriggered…. Pretty soon I’m an emotional mess after I’ve realized I’ve been subconsciously telling myself that I’m worthless….That everything about me is undesirable and that the world wasn’t made for people like me. I beat myself into a pulp and then I can’t stop the sad emotions going through me and I break down. It ruins my day. It almost ruins my whole life. This just sucks and is so hard to deal with. The worst part is that I have many good things in my life and I can’t get my stupid brain to focus on those happy things. Tears just flow endlessly… It makes me so mad at the world. It all feels so unfair.

I felt that way a lot as a child and teen & it lead me to dealing with anger/hatred of myself + suicidal depression back then, thinking "all I do is mess up" and "everyone would be better off if I was gone". In my teenaged years a friend of mine helped me realize that learning to conquer those emotions demonstrated more strength than giving up. And I was bound and determined to prove I was was stronger than the negative internal monologue. I had no idea back then that depression was so interconnected with the ADHD I had been diagnosed with as a teen. With all the information I'm just now learning at 39 yrs old about ADHD, so many of my lifelong struggles makes sense now. Add to all of that the facts that I'm married to an ADHD-diagnosed husband. Together we have an ADHD-diagnosed 18 yr old son & a 5 yr old daughter who needs to be tested for it. That's a lot of emotional dysregulation running rampant in our household. The emotional struggles are REAL.

I just turned 63 and I have not been officially diagnosed, but I realized that I was ADHD, when one of my children was diagnosed at an early age. The psychologist that diagnosed my child help me read a list of symptoms, to see how many I could relate to, as I read the list I thought I was reading a symptom list of my life. Anyways, fast forward to now and this podcast has just brought me to tears realizing that so much you wouldn’t be feeling it’s not just me or my post menopause but it’s also my ADHD. I have been fighting failure, the fear of failure, all of my life. Performance anxiety with every new job. Fear of people being angry at me fear disapproval. Sorry for the tirade. And I’m on the verge of facing another life change huge decision, whether or not I’m going to pursue a new career at my age and I’m doubting every step because I think I’m stupid.

Definitely gave me more motivation to stay calm and avoid getting to that place to begin with. I also liked the part about asking yourself what the best thing you can do for yourself in that moment is and it may be adjusting expectations.

I have never been formally diagnosed with ADHD, but it has been suggested that I might have it by a couple of the many professionals/ experts I have seen... I have struggled with depression and anxiety for my entire life -- that is the obvious basis... but sometimes I am not sure it is the whole story in terms of a diagnosis... and of course there is so much overlap between many different "diagnoses." I actually take an ADHD medication off label for depression because it is one of the only things that can get me out of freeze / shut down mode. That place can be due, again, to unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety, adhd, etc etc... I love Gabor Mate (and now many other experts) who says that many of these diagnoses are actually normal responses (not disorders) to abnormal environments or experiences as infants, children or adults... it is a beautiful and humanizing reframe! This of course is all from my own lifetime experience and my very aggressive and on-going attempts to successfully treat and get on top of my struggle. Thank you for listening ; ))

I don’t say “I’m a failure” because I have ADHD. I say it because the ADHD has driven a tank over everything in my life. Not diagnosed until I was 56. Left school at a time when claiming welfare and putting decisions off, for years, was possible. So I did, because I couldn’t and still cannot make that decision. Dropped out of colleges so many times there’s no student funding available for me, even if I had time to study something (I’ll be 60 next birthday) or could make that decision knowing how hard the ADHD will make that studying. Or get a manual labour job which my health, due to 4 decades of self medicating, isn’t up to. Nice to know why, finally. Nice to know it wasn’t my fault, except the people who needed to know this are dead so there’s no healing there either. The country I live in is getting increasingly hostile to anyone with mental health issues and are openly contemptuous of money spent on it. We are all con artists, lead swingers and whiney middle class wasters who need to be kicked, hard, and made to work, whereupon we will all discover that we were fine after all and made all that nonsense about head problems up. Life is bleak and there’s no light in the distance.

Because I was too blinded by just the diagnosis that I wasn’t able to also find the resources and gain tools to help me shift until recently when I discovered there was even a such thing as an ADHD Coach. I was at my wits in, and barely holding on by a thread trying to keep what little bit of my life I still had, together. I’m also thankful that we both live in a time now where coaches are accessible, social media platforms allow these amazing people to reach people like us who need it most, with sooooo much free content available at our fingertips.

@@FrenchCocoa369 Look myself in the mirror... Holy crap, that's a big ask. I usually avoid my reflection as much as possible. It's not that I've given up on myself, or am still clinging on to hope. It's that I've given up on everyone else. Everyone in my life has either looked at ADHD, seen that it requires the right medication and the right support and thought, "f*** that. I don't like him enough to put the time in to helping him.", or, as is more likely, are so indifferent and careless that none of them bothered to look at ADHD. "F*** him, let him sort his own problems out." And so, heartbroken, I am reduced to sitting around waiting to die. Life force spent. Health wrecked. Hope destroyed. Who is going to bother to help a 60 year old pick up the pieces of a life that never got properly started? There's no incentive. And I am not worth enough for the effort to be made. I do not know where this hateful, spiteful neglect comes from, but it's been around for a very long time. It causes me endless pain to hear about people with loving, supportive families who are there for them. Mine is not like that, at all. Mine begrudges infrequent and brief social visits, never mind wading in to help. There's always a bunch of excuses on offer and they all amount to "why should we lift a finger to help you?".

My friends and family all know i have adhd (diagnosed 16 years ago) and im so hard on myself, its hard for people to help talk me out of it. I will always doubt myself. If i get a B on a project, i think im on the road to failing the class. Perfect example.

I have found that nicotine has alot to do with my anxiety and worry and nervousness fears at work. I work at the cheesecake factory at ceasars palace and it gets busy. I also am 1 yr 5 months in recovery, and am really trying to get a hold of my emotions because I have learned im very emotional and have alot of fears. These are what I face now in sobriety. 25 years meth addict. Im 46 and it gets rough I tell you. Almost suicidal at times, the way depression can get you.

Is procrastination related to this ? I feel bad struggle to do my tasks and then do it again. I feel miserable like im not able to perform as good as other and live on constant downgrading myself thinking i dont deserve my job or a promotion.

Im struggling with my son, he was diagnosed at 7 then again at 19. His father disagreed and tried to over turn the diagnosis, he wasnt successful. However my son looks up at his father and his father said there was nothing wrong with him. Now my son is self medicating rather than address he has adhd. I understand him, as im very similar due to early server SA. I dont know how to help him. Can you give me advice. Please ive had to make him leave because his chaotic life and self medicating is destroying my life . Please if you can give me advice. I live in the uk.

First time watching one of your videos. You are so intense, but with a positive message! Most intense material is just angry people blowing of steam or trying to stir up some comotion for no specific reason. Therefor, I would normally, most likely avoid your video, due to that intensity and just keep on keeping on, along the KZbin algorithm. However, this makes me watch the full 16 minutes and head over to your channel for more! Well done.

At 51, multiple career attempts, divorce, bankruptcy, renting a room, working a minimum wage job and single 4 years I DEFINITELY am hard on myself. But the evidence speaks for itself. Noone wants a broke man and I cant afford to go out and date anyone anyway.

I think your reader needs to divorce her husband. If she has college-aged kids, then she's been with him for at least 20 years, and has done everything in her power to make him happy at her own expense. Clearly he does not appreciate her or even try to understand her condition. Every woman deserves better than that. The husband will be sorry when she's gone, but she'll be happier and freer than she has been in years.

As a person with ADHD, I understand the treatment she has received from her spouse. I have gone through two divorces and a broken engagement. I became the person they wanted me to be and gave and gave but received little in return. My low self esteem due to my ADHD kept me in these one-sided relationships. Now single, I’m much healthier and happier. I was accused of being a “failure” or an “underachiever” but I out earned them during our time together. Prioritize yourself and not constantly trying to make them happy. Once you see that you will never make them happy no matter what you do, it makes your choices clear after that. Life is too short to be miserable and in a one-sided situation the rest of your life. If a spouse can’t meet you halfway, there’s your answer.

Punctuality is so overrated. Rarely is it actually that important. As long as the work is getting done, who cares what time we arrive at work.

I work on being conscious of what I say after I AM as that is God’s name and invocation to the universe I am more mindful of what I say after I AM!! Example “ What I AM doing, is working” Placing it in the now telling my brain that what I am doing IS working, then I do not create situations I do not wish to experience…. Thank you for your content and your videos!! 💗🫶🏻🙌✌️

This is just what I needed to hear, as an ADHD mom with a hubby and 2 little boys my life was in chaos. I'm ever so thankful to have found your channel. Comparing myself to non ADHD moms used to effect me so much. I now have learned to better manage it.🫶
