I was diagnosed at the age of 39, and just like you said, so many things started to make sense. I work as a developer and it can be a struggle sometimes. A lot of times...

​@@adhd_alex23 Also, one of those jobs was medical research in ADHD/ASD. I worked signal processing and computing with DCAN Lab on the ABCD study. It attracted a lot of brilliant people with generalized autism spectrum disorders like ADHD. Working with people that have ADHD can really help a lot in gathering scope on difficulties, especially since people are less likely to mask when with other neuro divergent folk.

You have said so many of my experiences in this video - I am 28, awaiting diagnosis but I am for sure an adhd-girlie and I feel like my life just hasn't started. It feels like I try so so hard and I'm always so exhausted from the efforts but feel like I have nothing to show for any of it. I empathise with you so much. I can't develop methods or techniques either and I worry it'll never change. I hope not.

I have never felt so seen before... i am 25 yo and i have struggled with these same things over and over again and i can't help but think if i am ever going to be able to change 😢 i feel like i wasn't made to be sat in front of a computer screen all day, trying to meet expectations and then failing because i can't control how i feel or react, how i freeze for hours in front of the computer for the job i fought so hard to get. I hate this so much. How my mental health affects not only my professional life but my personal as well. I'm so glad I found your channel the other day, i had never related to someone else so much before. Idk if i have adhd (my therapist still has doubts) but i see your same troubles in my depressed anxious ridden life as well. I wish you the best ❤ i will keep on watching your updates and hope we will all get to a place we can finally be ourselves without being restricted by our struggles

Resonate with so much here. Sometimes thinking about all the things that cost more effort because of this diagnosis makes me so angry. Companies value things like consistency and task completion because these things are easy to see and measure. But ive decided to stop spending so much effort in those things just to be average or fail. My current strategy is to show what I can do - I may not be consistent all the time, but I can contribute and be involved in 5 projects at a time. I might not complete all my tasks, but I am good at identifying new opportunities and starting new initiatives. These things are valuable too, and they feel more intuitive than forcing myself to be a perfect, cookie-cutter worker. A company needs people like us too!

I am a 20-year-old Chinese Malaysian woman, and I just found out I have combined ADHD. This was more of a self-discovery after I became aware of why I couldn't sit still and why I always had random bursts of energy. When I tell someone that my brain has many thoughts overlapping each other, they just reply, "Well, then stop it." As if I COULD. I am very skinny and tall, and my lungs often have problems. I worked as a waitress before, but the restaurant had too many people smoking, and the place was very dirty, and due to my weak lungs, I couldn't handle it. I first discovered inattenetive ADHD in 2021 ( when I was around 18 ) when I was watching my favorite animated KZbinr named 'ice cream sandwich," but I watched without the intention of knowing what ADHD is; I just watched because the guy is hilarious and just for time passing. The KZbinr is just an animated guy who draws all his experience that is unique to him into an animation video. It was never anything serious until one day he made a video of how he recently got randomly diagnosed with ADHD. He explained his daily behavior, which he thought was normal but turned out to be ADHD, and a lot of his "behavior" matches my behavior. Like how my mind is always tingling 24/7 due to multiple thoughts kept over talking to each other, just like never-endingly opened "Google tabs" in the background, and each of them is playing different memorabilia but all at the same time, and it can never be shut off. At first, I was flabbergasted and suddenly questioning myself, so I began to dig into the research and had conversations with a lot of diagnosed ADHD people online, but sadly, they are mostly from outside of Malaysia, and I learned a lot of the ADHD symptoms match the way I act and think. After months of analysis and research, I try to live with my inattentive ADHD. One day when I was online, I saw someone make a video about how inattentive ADHD works (I can be a bit impulsive and self-righteous and jump into things without a second thought), and I commented that my inattentive ADHD also made my physical body tickle, and I explained how the symptoms made me feel like I had a random burst of energy in my body. The person who posted the video is an ADHD expert, and when I saw her comment, she explained that it was "hyperactive ADHD symptoms." I was again MORE CONFUSED. I did another month of research and learned about "combined ADHD," and yeah, I WAS ONCE AGAIN FLABBERGASTED. No wonder my personal and school life is f*cked. Anyway, I was flabbergasted, and I apologized to her, and she forgives me. I never felt so embarrassed in my life, but I guess we learn something new every day. I began ANOTHER DEEP SEARCH and everything began to click VERY clearly. About how I always have random bursts of energy in my body and how I forget things very easily-to the point that I even have to TRACK DOWN THE TIME that I HAD SHOWERED and the TIME OF WHEN I ATE in my notepad so I don't FORGET. I struggle with insomnia as my ADHD mind and energetic body keep me awake at night. I constantly have to do "cricket legs" just to try my best to calm the nerves down so I can sleep, and I have struggled with this my entire life. My school experience from middle to high school was very screwed up to the point that even back then, when I was still in middle school, my science teacher jokingly nicknamed me "dory," and that has been my nickname for the entire year. No hate, though; he was a very nice and friendly guy who always tried his best to help me, but my grades are below average. I got an undergrad score my whole life, from elementary to high school. Back in elementary school, I was in a Chinese school, as I am Chinese, and my grades were usually 17/100 or 12/100; I even got 3/100 and 0/100 before, and that didn't stop even into high school. Even when I transferred to an international private school, my score is still undergrade, especially since the English private school doesn't have textbooks; it's just a notebook that I have to try my best to copy down from the board. And no, there is no joke, and I am not exaggerating about the score of my exam paper; it's been that way my entire life; the highest mark I received is 21 or 31 out of 100 if I am lucky. ( Also , I couldn't catch up because I am second language and the sudden change of switching languages just add to the struggle as I only speak Mandarin for my whole life 😭😭 ) I didn't get diagnosed because I didn't have the money and support to do so. Now I am just here. I live with my mom; sadly , she doesn't believe in ADHD :( I don't know what i do. I feel like a failure and i still feel like a child. I didn't know which direction to go because I could be obsessed with something for months and immediately lose my hyperfixation on it. Now I am thinking about becoming an animated artist, but I don't have the equipment. I honestly hope I won't lose interested on stuffed that quickly and my dopamine could stay forever 😔 I have been learning how to forgive myself and understand that it was not my fault. After finding out about my combined ADHD, I have become more aware that I am different, and it doesn't matter if someone tells me I am not doing enough because I know I am doing all I can. I began to realize I didn't have to follow in society's footsteps to feel accepted. And no, just because I acknowledge I have ADHD doesn't mean the problem goes away itself. It's like finding out I had a missing leg and acknowledging it, but that doesn't mean my leg will grow into a new pair after I 'acknowledge' it. Maybe one day I will be able to get help from a therapist and medication to see how it will work out, but for now, I will just try my best to work with my ADHD and give me the time to process that none of it was my fault. And when I have enough money, I will try to find help as soon as possible.

@@shiannafoxx : I discovered I had ADHD after high school, but by then it was too late to get the support I needed. I’ve never been to college and have been staying at home since the quarantine began. I’m dealing with family issues-my parents split up, and I’ve been carrying unresolved trauma, including SA trauma, for over a decade. I’ve heard that trauma can worsen ADHD symptoms, though I’m still unsure about that. In school, I faced bullying and physical abuse from teachers. While corporal punishment was common in my country, my middle school took it too far, slapping students in the face and stuffing rolled-up test papers in our mouths for poor grades. I was often targeted, likely because of my low grades, and once even got a swollen eye from a slap. When my mom found out, she confronted the wrong teacher due to my ADHD mix-up, and I felt terrible about it. I’ve struggled to get help because I lack support and a proper job. I live with my mom, who doesn’t believe in ADHD and isn’t well-informed about it. My siblings are far away, and I have a distant relationship with my father, who caused the family to split up due to infidelity. My parents fell out of love when I was around 12 and separated when I was 15 or 16. I only learned about my ADHD at 18. I’ve thought about talking to my second brother about my struggles in the hope that he might help, but I’m scared because I’ve always looked up to my mom. She once agreed to take me to the doctor, but I didn’t want to be a burden during our tough financial situation, so I backed out. Now, I regret not going, and when I brought it up again, she just brushed me off.

Girl I feel you. As someone who has ADD, I experienced a lot of the same situations, especially with regard to work. But let me tell you this. Although ADHD seems like something that ruins dream jobs / makes life so much harder, it also has some great benefits. When you find something you love, and find a way that works for you, you become ON FIRE and get in a flow that people without ADHD don't often experience like that. You are probably more creative and more spontaneous and are able to move mountains when you step into your power. It is really about finding a way that works for you, but when you get there, i promise you it can be beautiful and can actually be a strentgh, rather than a weak thing about you. Sending lots of love

@@antares6664 It took me quite a while to figure it out, so I suggest to really try some things to see what works for you & what you like. Personally, for me, I noticed that working as an enterpreneur suits me better. In a 9-5, I get demotivated very quickly because 1) you get paid for your time, not the effort you put in and 2) there is always a boss who decides what you can or can't do. Being an enterpreneur (or freelancer) enabled me to 1) have more to say about what kind of work I want to do, 2) work when I want to work (so for example, I noticed that I find it quite difficult to be productive in the afternoon and that's totally okay, being a freelancer or enterpreneur can make it possible to spend some time on hobbies in the afternoon and work in the evening, if that suits you better) . Furthermore, I learned that my brain is quite dopamine focussed, so job requirement for me is having a job with shorter deadlines and more variety in the type of tasks, and having a clear job description/task can also help as well. Previously I did a PhD but I noticed that having 1 4-year long deadline without less variety in my tasks, makes it so much harder. Instead, choosing shorter deadlines and a lot of variety in my work, really allows me to play to my strength and I notice I get so much more drive from it. And the dopamine-focus can then actually help you to book great results, instead of hinder your progress/results. So my biggest tip is try to find a job where you can use your strengths as much as possible and don't force yourself to fit a 'normal 9-5 office job' as that might just not be the best fit in this case. It can be hard to accept in the beginning but I promise you, once you find a job that really matches your brains way of working, the job can be super fun and really motivating. But it just takes some time to try some different things to find out what works/doesn't work for you. :) But just know that there's more out there than the standard 9-5.

I sometimes have doubts about myself and self validation about my ADHD, even after my diagnosis. Because I mainly was focused on getting my autism diagnosis (which I got both), I hadn’t done nearly as much self reflection on having ADHD, and I’m still trying to unpack that side of being neurodivergent after kind of coming to terms with being autistic. But I know it is definitely real for me when I want to pay attention to this video so bad and I’m relating to it so much and I still have to rewind the same minute five times in a row because I keep getting distracted 😢 thank you for making these videos, I just found your channel and your honesty and your perspective is really very deep and touching to me. ❤

Im so sorry I feel you. I used to be very similar (no adhd but other stuff, I had repetitive thoughts, was inconsistent and chaotic, panic attacks, social anxiety...). Keep rationalizing and validating yourself. My advice might sound really stupid but its not. Daily cold showers and cold exposure helped me so so much with dealing with stress, mood regulation and reducing the anxiety levels. Also I don't know if you are into art and stuff but acting could help you a lot with your emotions and become comfortable in who you are and in various situations. I am proud of you too ❤

I just lost a 12-year battle of avoiding ADHD medication to needing to fit into boxes that i have not been. I'm giving myself a year to reassess whether medication needs to be a critical part of my life.

Although my doctor prescribed meds, she offered no advice. She once confirmed my suspicions when I told her my concerns. (I’m almost at retirement age, finally getting help, but nowhere being able to stop working anytime soon. Because ADHD) Most neurotypical people can’t help you learn any tactics. Please look for ADD and ADHD craters here, start a folder, and put them there. I especially love the ones with organizing and healthy living tips. We have to learn to go by our own rules, or bend them. Again, I’m sorry you are going through this. And I hope my advice helps.

1. Accept your limitations and stop stressing over things you cannot control. It's important to stop the internal melodrama and self pity: it's a feelgood coping mechanism that keeps you perpetually miserable (one example of melodrama is in your description "I hate.. I hate.. I hate.."). It's harder for us girls as we are naturally more emotional. But getting it out of the way is important so you can focus on what you can control. For example using various tricks to help you focus. Rhythmic music / pomodoro timers / gamification / focusing strictly on one thing at a time. If you lapse, whatever, try again. But stop stressing because it's not the end of the world :) Accepting and being conscious of your limitations might also stop you from projecting your bullshit onto your relationships. 2. Expectations does not equal duty. You don't need to fulfil anyone's expectations. Your only objective duty as a girl is probably to have kids and take care of your family/parents You might want to check out: - 'The subtle art of not giving a fck" by Mark Manson - 'Deep Work' by Cal Newport.

I agree with everything except the ‘objective duty as a girl’ part. Having the ability to reproduce doesn’t mean that it’s your duty to. If that’s what she wants then that’s great and if not, that’s her choice too.

The problem with new youtubers now a days is that they make a video about their mental health. There are thousands of video like this in youtube. we dont need that. Instead be creative. Make great art

Art is supposed to make you feel something. This video made me feel less alone, it made me motivated to keep trying to find a solution that works for me. I also enjoyed how well she spoke about her feelings which is similar to mine ... i just can't sit down and focus long enough to do that. Now i have this video i can replay over and over.
