As someone who got diagnosed with a learning disability in adulthood, it's so true. I thought it wouldn't make any difference if I was diagnosed or not, but the relief when it was "official" that I wasn't just stupid and lazy all along was amazing.

[@lilporky8565]

I was diagnosed at 7, but I was always made to think that I was still just lazy when my parents gave me shit for not doing well at school. I always have a hard time trying to distinguish which parts of my behavior are due to my disabilities and which parts are just me, It's so frustrating because the only frame of reference I have is my own perspective. I don't know what it's like to be normal so I can never be certain on how abnormal I really am.

It used to be classified as a childhood only thing, but the knowledge is spreading fast, that adults can have ADHD too, and more and more adults are getting diagnosed, but the waiting time is horrendous.

[@lexiluther4474]

My husband has ADHD and it makes it hard to do so many things. He is also (like Seán) naturally very loud, and talks a lot lot. It makes it hard to do things like concentrate on studying because he gets distracted easily, or paying attention in class (college.) He could be in the middle of a conversation with me and he will hear someone else say something interesting and he will just kind of turn around and join that convo forgetting about ours. It’s something I’ve learned to be comfortable with because I used to get offended by that. I thought he wasn’t interested. It’s not that, it’s that he hears something even MORE interesting and wants to hop in on that topic. So instead I learn to just hold his hand while he talks to the other person (people) and then I continue when he’s done. He was bullied so much in school (up until high school because I was popular so people started paying more attention to him when we got together) because he was loud and talkative. He got detentions and all kinds of crap for just being him. But meds didn’t help him, they made him unable to eat and sleep and he was depressed. So he’s kind of learned to just live with it and I have learned not to “deal” with it, but to live with it, because his ADHD comes as a piece of him. And I want all the pieces :).

It’s a pain in the ass to get a diagnosis, but you’ll know real quick from your reaction to the meds, whether or not you actually have ADHD. If you don’t have ADHD, you’ll go full manic and off the walls, since the meds basically work like incredibly low level meth or speed lmao If you DO have ADHD, the medication will do a lot of things that seem counterintuitive, given that it’s an amphetamine. Your thoughts will stop racing, you’ll have energy that feels much less manic, some people even feel calmer and sleep better. That means your brain needed that help.

[@piper4268]

@@LuckyBones77 for me it was super easy to get the diagnosis, but it was a process to actually just get in touch with the doctor. She saw me once, asked me a few questions, and started to discuss medication. Best thing I ever did!

[@LuckyBones77]

@@piper4268 Ah yeh, that’s more like what I meant!! I know getting the diagnosis is easier nowadays, at least partly bc the understanding of what causes ADHD has improved a LOT in the time since I was diagnosed (in 1998 lmao). Yeh, what I meant was more that getting in to get tested in the first place is a huge pain. Getting in touch with the right doctor, and getting an appointment period (a friend of mine has an appointment they scheduled recently, for four months from now, yikes), can take AGES

Being someone who was diagnosed with adhd as an adult and dealing with that MAAAASSIVE life changing realization and all of those “SO THATS WHY I DO THAT” - I know that it is so bittersweet and just so huge, just wanted to say congrats on the diagnosis and have fun learning so much about yourself moving forward ✨

[@elizabethlewis8436]

I cannot express how similar my experience is with being diagnosed after years of difficulties! So many things I wondered if they were connected, I kept bringing it up to my psychiatrist and lo and behold. I have a variation of ADHD. I went on meds and things got so much easier to handle, it’s crazy how different I am. I’m a lot calmer, I’m not bouncing off the walls anymore, and even my sleep got better! A diagnosis can change a person’s life when they have a variation of ADHD.

[@thespacecowboy71]

Being diagnosed with Autism made me relieved because I finally knew what was up with my brain

[@maawous]

ADHD is kind of weird diagnosis... For me, there's absolutely nothing bad about it. I know it probably had something to do with my burn outs, depression and anxiety in the past. But now I know everything probably was just too much for me and my boundaries were bent too far. It's such a relief to finally know I wasn't overreacting. I now know I have beautiful abilities and skills, I'm always finding new ways to do things, I'm creative.. but that I also need to give myself time to take care of me. If someone thinks that's bad that's on them. Just in one month after being diagnosed I've found some beautiful communities online that I've found so helpful. Finally I have places where EVERYONE understands. I wish all of you ADHD peeps (especially diagnosed as adults) all the best, take care ✨

[@oddgamingcat7442]

Pfft, that's literally how it is with autism too. Basically, for these diagnoses, they only test iq and intelligence. But they never really look at the emotional or mental side of it.

[@florpleborp2275]

I had something similar to that when my last therapist suggested I reverted to child-like behavior when around a certain individual. I did fiddle with the basic toddler toys, but later it became obvious I did that with everything-I simply shut down and was frightened, distracted myself, but the therapist insisted I was reverting into a shy little kid. Then again, this same guy also insisted I had OCD because I got a 100% on some numbers game. It’s honestly sad how that method seems to be generally used for a lot of different learning disorders, even if they have little in common and can be tested by other methods that DON’T involve implying the patient has the mental captivity of a little kid. Like you said, it’s belittling. It’d also coming to light that just because you like fiddling with things doesn’t mean you have a learning disability, but so many folks with or without the knowledge to make that diagnosis seem to believe and perpetuate that idea.

Fun fact: most ADHD and ASD adults don't usually like many fidgets and stim toys because we learned to develop our own fidgets and stims. For example, leg bouncing, nail biting, finger wiggling, etc. It's pretty normal for neurodivergent adults to find these a majority of these toys unappealing and be _far_ pickier about what works and doesn't, as it usually needs to correlate to what stims they currently do / use.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

I think it's pretty mixed. My partner learned the leg bouncing, I play with my hair around my ears. For him, fidget spinner has helped a lot. For me, not so much. It's gotta be mild stimulation though, which is the point of many of these toys for ADHD specifically, to help create a sort of background stimulation rather than active. If it's active, then it doesn't help focus.

I think it has a LOT to do with when you get introduced to stim toys and the connotation surrounding them. I never grew up around them, got diagnosed as an adult, and now only use them when I'm really anxious/irritated. These young kids next door (lovely but full blown hyperactivity ADHD) use stim toys A LOT because they were introduced really young and their parents/family/school is very supportive of them using them. I do think everyone will be different to some extent, but I wonder if we had all grown up with the option and with positive connotation around fidget toys whether it would be different.

Very big agree I was misdiagnosed a lot when I was a teen: depression, bipolar II, anxiety, and probably BPD if I wasn't a teen at the time. I got the wrong meds which barely helped me, just gave me the negative side affects. A bit over year ago I got diagnosed with ADHD and everything clicked for me, things about myself made sense and I'm finally on something that actually helps for me. It's both amazing and frustrating. Amazing that I'm finally in a good place (for the most part) and frustrating that I wasted my entire school career struggling to do the bare minimum because I was misdiagnosed and not getting the proper treatment.

@@rgamer4272 You cant make that kind of blanket statement. Some people genuinely do need medication and that’s perfectly fine.

Honestly I get the sentiment that "everyone else must be going through this and I'm just stupid" mentality when you have a condition and don't realize it.

Hello! I just recently went to my obgyn (for irregular periods) and my bloodwork came 2 days ago and TSH hormone levels rose up to 5.25 (T4 and T3 are within the normal range) and he told me I need to go on therapy and take euthyrox. After him I went to my family doctor and she told me the same thing and that I have subclinical hypothyroidism. I do experience tiredness and my metabolism became super slow but it's all due my life style and not exercising and going out like at all. I have yet to make an appointment with an endocrinologist. It's not as bad as you described what hypothyroidism is, but do you have any advices or experiences with certain medication to help me out whether I can fix my situation or something. And yeah, it's important to know thyroid gland is one hell of a bish and extremely important. Everyone needs to take care of it.

[@persephonehades7547]

@@darna02 Currently on the same medication! My best advice is to be patient. They're going to need blood work again after a few weeks (for me it was 4 weeks) of your prescription to make sure it's working, tweaking the dose as needed compared to your levels. After they figure out what dosage your body responds well to, you just need yearly blood work to make sure your medicine is working well enough. For medicine taking tips, it's best to take it when you wake up and wait a half an hour to an hour to eat. I also find that it helps to just vibe in bed for that time instead of pushing myself to be active right away. If your taking any iron pills, it's best to wait 4 hours after the euthyrox. There are other medications too that can inhibit it, so it's best to double check them with your pharmacist or doctor to make sure there won't be unwanted medicine interactions. Some dietary changes can do wonders too. Some foods (like soy products, broccoli, potatoes, peanuts) are goiterogenic, meaning they have compounds in them that slightly decrease thyroid function. It's not disastrous, but just making sure you're not eating a lot of them in one sitting is good enough. It also really helps to have a high protein breakfast, aiming at around 30g (which is hard to do but even half of that is great). Both of the dietary things are mainly quality of life rather than a must-do, and just promote slightly better thyroid function and energy levels. And then another thing that really helps is to keep a blanket and house shoes at the ready. Thyroid diseases and conditions often lead to feeling cold, and sometimes if it's bad enough i feel super fatigued and drained. Having something there to warm me up helps combat energy loss. I know this is a lot but take away is to not worry if they need to up your dosage, take your medicine when you wake up and wait a half an hour to an hour to eat, and then you can experiment with quality of life stuff if your symptoms hit.

[@darna02]

@@persephonehades7547 I usually experience hot flashes, I enjoy cold temperatures so I am very rarely cold myself. Last year I started experiencing dizziness and "going randomly out of focus" which I thought was something new regarding menstrual cycle, but I guess it was my thyroid gland becoming worse. I sadly ate a lot of pasta, potatoes, chicken and lots of sugary food which could be the reason as well. Non-sugary food was always well seasoned so it's not lack of iodized salt. I haven't properly exercised or taken long walks since 2017 or so, so basically during those 4-5 years I mostly sat or lied in my bed, resulting in my thyroid gland working slowly and my metabolism going slow and gaining like a bit less than 20kg. I also go to sleep late and wake up late, which leads to skipping breakfast and going straight to lunch. I've also been very anxious and depressed for 2-3 years now, making me believe something was wrong with my brain only and not knowing it was thyroid gland. About euthyrox I haven't bought it yet. I am quite frankly scared because I thought my TSH levels weren't that serious and I've heard some bad stuff about the medication. I was given the 0.25 mg one by my family doc. I am taking OC pills for my PCOS but that isn't contradictory to the euthyrox so it's not that. I am just overall scared it's gonna make it worse somehow and I would like to try to maybe change my lifestyle first before purchasing the meds. But if purchasing euthyrox is necessary I will do it, I just need to get to endocrinologist first for an ultrasound and a checkup and maybe ask them for an advice. I do not take any other medication, although I've started going to the doctors 2 months ago just to make sure if anything else is wrong with me or if thyroid is the only issue here. PCOS was the first thing that indicated an issue but problems with thyroid gland are on the top probably, and depression and anxiety as well as being "lazy" and feeling like sh*t. Overall it's just exhausting and even worse when you have people around you who don't understand at all what's wrong with you. But I will continue visiting doctors and stuff so I am hoping for the best and for a good solution for my problems.

Information about these toys: They're called "stim-toys" or "fidget toys". They're mostly used by neurodivergant people( such as autistic people and people with ADHD) to stim, release nervous energy, focus or cope with a hard situation. What does stimming mean?: stimming is short for "self-stimulation". Everyone does it, neurodivergants and neurotypicals. Neurodivergant people just tend to stim in a more "socially unacceptabl way" such as rocking back and forth or flapping their hands. Why do people stim?: stimming (or self-stimulation) is mainly used to release nervous energy or reduce stress. For most neurodivergant people stimming is also used in other situations where the person is happy, sad , having a meltdown or distressed. Stimming also comes in other forms, such as: Oral stimming: chewing on stuff Vocal stimming: Repeating a sound or word multiple times This is some information about stimming and fidget toys.

As a 30 year old who also just got diagnosed with ADHD, it's extremely encouraging to hear that one of my favorite KZbinrs has it. I've always wanted to become a content creator and, similar to you, I've had so much trouble keeping up with a project because it hasn't turned out the way that I've imagined it. I've tried KZbin, insta, TikTok, Tumblr, Live Journal, and even MySpace. I've started medication 2 months ago and I'm feeling really good about making content again. Maybe this time I'll actually stick with it haha

[@Annagator-ze8oo]

10:14 ok for anyone wondering that toy is basically a very easy rubicks cube, you push the balls around till they’re mixed up, then put them back to where the colors belong, that’s why a ball is missing, it’s so that you can move the balls around. My mom got it for me and some of my siblings before it’s kinda fun.

The toy with the ‘missing ball’ is like a really easy puzzle. You mess it up by pushing the coloured balls into the free spaces and then you solve it by putting the balls back in the holes that are the same colours at them (I hope that makes sense lol).

As someone who has been struggling with ADHD all his life, I completely relate to this video. Especially the last portion. I felt like I could get away with no studying in high school but then struggled in college. I felt I was bad broken, had no drive or focus, while everyone else around me was acheiving their goals and doing stuff with their lives. However, I have come to terms with it, I accept it, and I doing the best I can everyday. :)

[@roseburke9693]

It’s also always great when someone with a big platform talks about these sort of things, since a lot of people still see adhd as “silly kid is loud and distributive” rather than kids and adults having these real challenges everyday. I was so happy when he brought it up because it made me feel like more people who don’t have adhd will hear it and understand how I feel!

[@EmilysSpeedartAndAnimation]

@@roseburke9693 Exactly. As someone with ADHD myself i find it a complete bummer that some people see ADHD as 'Incompetent people', however its not really their fault that they cant focus.

There's nothing more pleasant than a world that will understand what someone is going through without discrimination towards it.

How do y’all do it tell me how do you survive with such a horrible tragic disorder? Everyday must be a huge struggle I can only imagine. I mean people talk about cancer or really hard struggles with being sick n going to different doctors all the time but forget about them n people talk about other disorders like autism or bi polar disorder some people are dealing with all of that but forget about them n actually people don’t even talk about them. anyways those aren’t real struggles no way cuz adhd is the real struggle as literally everyone knows n understands cuz everyone born since the mid 80s has it but anyways good luck I’m crying n praying for you. The saddest part is that people beat you up for it n bully you, you can’t make a friend n your family doesn’t love you n you’re dealing with so many health problems all cuz of adhd oh n it’s hard to focus when you study n you daydream

[@panheaddragonwolfpaw]

It's good to hear he is having a better time with his meds than I was when I first got on them for ADHD. For me, starting my meds was like going into a completely soundproofed room for the first time. After being accustomed to a life of constant background noise, you are suddenly placed in an environment where there is no sound. It was a little scary, and strangely lonely. Of course when my body got used to the meds I was fine, but that first week was bad

[@Tmaxgirl28]

Reminds me of when I got my depression medication the first time. I started to feel like a storm I'd sat in for years was starting to clear up and instead of be happy about it, I instead freaked out. It's a comfort zone of sorts. It's what you're used to. For it to suddenly be different (even though it's what you wanted), it can active a fight or flight response. I'm also doing better now. I still have dark days here and there, but there's a sense of security in knowing the storm will clear up eventually.

[@blueyellowbankai762]

Well I have ADHD, but I don’t take meds for it. Sure, I have hard times concentrating at school and I often get bored, but I don’t have to take meds for it. Idk if you can relate, but if I describe it as if I move all my energy into my head, sort of.

[@aussiemerican750]

I’ve never liked my ADHD meds, I got off them a year ago and I started feeling better without them. When I was on the meds I felt like I wasn’t really me, I had stopped talking with friends and they made me much more reclusive and even more anti social than I already am, hell I even stopped wanting to play video games because of them. Now that I’m off the meds I’m much more active socially even if I’m still a little antisocial, and even though there are problems, like the fact that I’m a bit more of an asshole, and I’m having a harder time in school, I feel like it’s better than not wanting to do anything but lay in bed and watch KZbin all the goddam time. However that’s just my story, if the meds really do help you then you keep on them.

[@Rand0m0bs3ss10ns]

I had to take meds for my ADHD in school, but the ones I took didn't *appear* to me to do much for the focus cuz I never focus on myself much, and one of the potential side effects that I ended up hating was that it reduced my appetite. I wasn't as hungry as I thought I should be, never really ate as much as others, and a long-term issue that caused was a lower body weight. To this day, I am still 25-30 lbs lighter than I should be at my height, which is nice for if I wanna squeeze through tight spaces, but awful for most other things. But hey, the circle of ADHD pals I watch is still growing, so I can't complain about that!
