I decided to stop ADHD from ruining my life. And it's more painful than I ever imagine.

Being young is confusing. Figuring yourself out is painful. Loving yourself is hard. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

This video has just reduced me to tears because I feel so understood! I'm in my last year of high school and I'm doing a really hard course. And I am also school president. These were things I was so excited about and had so much energy to do but I've realised a pattern where the more excitement I have about something, the more likely I am to burn out or just unintentionally lose interest. I think it's good to realise that giving our 100% all the time, to everything, is not the way to be likeable or fit in. We shouldn't have to push ourselves beyond our limits to meet expectations or please people. If you only have 20% of mental or emotional energy to give, and you do your best, then that is the true 100% effort :) Thank you so much!

Wow, your level of articulating things so precisely is very admirable. Listening to you untangled a lot of jumbled thoughts in my mind. Also that part about you playing a lovable character who takes care of everything, which in turn makes you isolate yourself because now you can't ask for help, otherwise you'll break your charcter, THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, I RELATE TO IT SO MUCH. Thank you for mustering up the courage to be vulnerable and speak out. It was valuable for me.

39 and still feel like I don't know anything. Thanks from the bottom of my soul, and my heart because every word was exactly what I feel like and it feels like we are alone, misunderstood and judged because we feel, perceive, live, do, in a different way that remains a mystery even for ourselves. I cried through the whole video, it felt like I was talking to my best friend. Thanks for this.

[@frodoshaggins]

This was like listening to my own life story honestly. Thank you for speaking honestly about these things, especially the uncomfortable stuff. I have physically felt myself getting “bored” with the person I was in love with and I tried so hard to stop it, it ripped me apart. I was ashamed to tell anyone because I just think anyone will think I’m a bad person. Hearing someone else talk about these things is a a relief seriously. Thank you

And to imagine that depite going through so much pain, 90% of people are gonna brush it off as laziness.

I do not know you but I am so proud of you. I have been trying over the last half year to get myself to this road of self illumination and understanding that you seem to have reached. It was not until the last few months alone that I even realized I needed to look inward. But taking the next step is so hard after this. I am often upset with myself for not understanding why I cannot seem to adapt to so many situations yet I can thrive in the few that I am used to (environments, work, around certain people, etc.). And it feels weird because I am working in health care and am regularly expected to provide answers for people and I feel wholly incompetent and unwell. But... All this to say thank you for posting your journey, the positives and the negatives. I am certain it is helping people.

I am a 15 yr old female, I recently found out only a few months ago that I am a high-masking autistic. Before, I used to believe autism as how nuerotypical people saw it (the low-functioning side and this is why I myself never could of thought I'm autistic). Girls and women are harder to identify as autistic if they have it because of the social norms set for females (and I learned females like me do mirror behaviour) But anyways I wanted to say... I understand in a way tbecause of how I found out about me masking my autism from being placed in a new high school and meeting an amazing friend who accepts me for my unique behaviour/self🙂

[@elkieelkie]

I’m 14 years old and have been depressed since 8. I always struggled in school especially in English and math. So when my school said they were testing people for dyslexia I told my father I wanted to because I was always failing my spelling tests. He said no because he didn’t want it to me a crutch for me. So I suffered for years until half a year ago I went and got one anyway despite his wishes. Turned out I was dyslexic I was just so good at masking that I was still over average on reading I just couldn’t spell words. I got a new math teacher this year and the says that I’m actually on a A+ level I’m just not putting in the work. So now with a little help from my mother and a whole lot of effort from me I’m in the process of getting a ADHD diagnosis after my therapist’s recommendation. Getting hurt by the world is already hell but when it comes from the people that has control owed you it ruins your life. But I’m getting help now so take that father

What is the difference between "mask my way", and make an effort to not annoy others. Because for me it's very important to not annoy others.

I don't have any children. But I guess it's because I didn't have the natural wish for that. I didn't know that I have ADHD, but I knew that just thinking about managing the family daily life : no way ! Or I would have been with a perfect father and no money problem at all that I could have focused only on children. I thought "children, it's zero.. or ten. ". Fortunately, I chose zero. Becaus I would have felt guilty 24H/24. By the way, I am exhausted from teen age, with back painful, fearing the fact I would have to send children at school and being obliged to live all the time at the same place. So, if you wish children, don't worry, it can be wonderful, even with ADHD, but must be ready to design your way of raising them 😀

Your camera is impeccable. What's the name?

[@junglefrancais]

what is this "immigration rule" that you couldn't be a fitness trainer ?

[@--Singularity--]

I´m a believer that in this simulation your ADHD is glued in top of your personality what Jim Carrey talks ´bout. So in that sense it´s NO real.

[@gileneusz]

I tell you guys, she is just lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy just kidding 😝

[@frodoshaggins]

How many times have you commented this on her videos. Are you ok?
