ADHD update: medication experience after one semester of university

[@miles9729]

I appreciate this video so much, and don’t worry you look great as usual ;) Thank you for being so thorough in describing your experiences because I now realise I’m not alone in this and the part describing the amount of extra energy required to “fit in” or try and be neuro-typical hit home abit too hard . ;( This vid in particular is giving me the needed push to go get myself formally diagnosed. Much love

[@MegShinagawa]

Aw, thank you Myles :)) Being able to help other people is why I share my experience so this really means the world

[@Lucylu723]

I don't understand how you are not a big time KZbinr yet, your videos are really professional honestly.

[@MegShinagawa]

This is so sweet 🥲 Thank you ❤️

[@DIJONh100]

Totally feel you on the decisiveness! It helps me choose and stick to what I choose. Without second guessing my decision

[@SimoneEppler]

Great video, thank you. I’m on my journey as well and we have kind of similar experiences. 🙏🏻

[@MegShinagawa]

Great to have someone else on the journey as well ❤️

[@bethb5915]

Thank you, Meg, for a thoughtful, clear explanation of your experience 🙏🏼💗

[@MegShinagawa]

You are so welcome!

[@danaizx1406]

thank you for this! :) I just started my master's and I'm really struggling so I'm considering going to see a doctor to get diagnosed because I also think I have ADHD

[@MegShinagawa]

I hope you have a smooth journey! It takes a lot of courage to go to the doctor so kudos to you!!

What do you do when you crash on medication. whats your mechanism when the drugs fade away? pleas answer, im trying to fix my adhd witthout medication. instead of eating foods.

[@MegShinagawa]

I definitely found food to be the most helpful. But letting myself relax and not pushing myself are also important when I'm coming off of medication.

[@IJIJIJI688]

Thank you for answering. What do you do when relaxing. Do you just lay down and rest or watch movies/series or yoga/meditate?

[@MegShinagawa]

@@IJIJIJI688 I like to play games or watch a show.

[@IJIJIJI688]

@@MegShinagawa Thank you.

Hi, are you from Japan? It is interest to know how much is prelevance of adhd in Japan. I tough it is only American problem.

[@MegShinagawa]

Yes I’m from Japan. I think ADHD is definitely not as well known here but there’s a good amount of people that probably have it (in my opinion).

[@bethb5915]

There are people with ADHD in every culture. But not all countries have medical systems that acknowledge it as a condition, which is unfortunate because so many people will go undiagnosed and untreated.

[@bomcimtube]

What do you study?

[@MegShinagawa]

Computer science and entrepreneurship!

[@bomcimtube]

@@MegShinagawa nice! is it challenging to study a theoretical subject like cs with adhd?

[@MegShinagawa]

@@bomcimtube it’s definitely a challenging degree. But I’m very passionate about it so I’m enjoying it!
