My ADHD Has Been Crippling Me For Years...😔

January has been a rough start to 2024!
I'm praying that this month is not a precursor to a stressful, and
un-enjoyable year.
Can't wait for you to hear everything that I am currently processing. I pray it helps you in your spiritual journey.
I'm struggling with a pretty severe medical condition that needs immediate attention!

If you haven't, make sure you get your levels checked around menopause, often a cause of brain fog that can exacerbate anything else.

[@angelaserna4045]

You need to Rebuke all that Mental Health Labels!! That is Not Your Identity! I have had some Mental Health Illness in the past. It was all Sin! Disobedience! I had to Repent from it! Rebuke it! Rebuke the Labels! The Lord has gave me a Great Confidence that comes from Him in the Last Few Years! Illness, Disease and Medications/Pharmekea is Not from the Lord! What You talked about Marriage,Amen!!

Save your money, people. This whole business is suspect. Run away.

[@mariposachula]

@@jjamiejackson anything jesus-freak related is suspect. I just watch her videos for the cooky stories and ffwd through all the boring preaching.

[@likesototallyhillary]

I have crippling add, anxiety and depression it's a daily battle. The medicine doesn't change your personality. Just helps to focus longer. i promise!

[@thegoodfight426]

I did a face plant for our marriages the other morning! I had realized that I had faith that God could raise the dead, but was really lacking in the faith to believe that He could renew my spouse's mind! I realized that I needed to give that unbelief to God! Repentance is such a soul-cleansing thing! I pray that you are seeing the results of this fervent prayer in your own marriage! We shall overcome!!!! ❤❤❤

My husband has ADHD and before he was diagnosed professionally our house was in constant chaos. I actually found an article and laid it on the dining room table and just left the house hoping he would read it. When I returned he was holding the article and crying and said this is me. Next thing he said was why didn’t you tell me. I said I have but you won’t listen. We saw our primary physician after that and they got him on some medication and he’s honestly a different person. I could go on and on about what a difference it’s made in our life. The first step is admitting and the second is getting the help in whatever way you decide to try. It truly was a game changer for him and us. Much love to you Chynna. I’ll keep you in my prayers!

[@MsNZgal]

That is such good news that your husband saw it as it is and was willing to do something to improve your relationship.

Not sure if medication is the answer for anyone or just some, but glad you all feel helped by it. I’m always cautious about stuff like this. (Using medication) Anyways blessings to you and your family and others dealing with this.

[@emilys5024]

Love the line about looking at the world which makes one distressed, depressed, but look to God for rest. Don’t be hard on yourself….you have come a long way and are helping others by teaching them to turn to Jesus.

[@Tina.Lucille]

I was diagnosed late in life (late 50's) at that very moment...second...my whole entire life finally made sense. I tried the meds, didn't really do it for me (did help short term). I developed a variety of life hacks along the way that have assisted me in my ADHD life journey. I am quite vocal about being ADHD to the point of being very proud that I am. It's my super power...let it be yours. 🙏🙏

[@mercedesrodriguez9991]

I hated the meds, and nobody told me they didn't agree with asthma meds so I had a terrifying incident.... I read that caffeine helps I hate coffee and tea I mean a lot of it so I started taking little bites out of caffeine pills, And using a secret weapon that my mother used, which is hyper organization. From her I learned to have a catalog carrier of cards sympathy cards birthday cards baby cards anything so in case you forget that it's happening you have the card right there to send immediately. I keep gifts to eventually give! I don't start a day without a list from the night before, and I've had a "key bowl" for years

[@mercedesrodriguez9991]

ADHD is under diagnosed in young girls and they seldom outgrow it. And God willing, it can be compartmentalized, I can work, I can take care of children... But I fall apart at the seams at small chores and small memories even though I can memorize an entire epic poem. My nickname in my twenties was "Space Cadette" I was finally diagnosed in my late 50's and all of a sudden everything made sense. I could have diagnosed you, you've lost your passport twice...it's hard!

[@patriciacheek1982]

I was diagnosed in my late 60’s. I immediately exclaimed,”that explains a lot!!”

[@chrissyc5731]

Yes,I’m 55 just got on low dose of Adderall. Does help you focus. So you’re thoughts are not all over the place. There’s different meds to. People thinks it’s just a disorder that teenagers or 20 year olds have, but my doctor said not true you have it forever, does not go away. So it’s up to you depends on how much it impacts you’re daily life especially if you have to work helps you concentrate better. Also going through menopause which can make you feel crazy! 🙏✌️♥️

[@buelahland]

Deliverance. U can’t DO Jesus. U have to be transformed by the RENEWING of ur mind.

[@geraldinemartinez6017]

I also have ADD. Struggled with it my whole life. I didn't know I had it until I went back to school to get my degree in speech language development. I was reading an assigned book called, driven to distraction, and I realized then that was what I had. I was in my mid thirties by then. I've managed to compensate my whole life living with it. I finally went to a doctor to get officially diagnosed and he put me on Adderall which I hated because it changed my personality. I was too focused and the drug was attacking my body. I decided to live without it. You have to look at nutrition and diet. Sugar is a big culprit. You can also use essential oils, chiropractor and daily calendars. I write all my things to do in a daily/monthly calendar and cross off when it's done. I don't get upset if I don't get to everything. You have to be gentle with yourself. A good magazine and website to get/go to is ADDitude. Great info on how to live your life with ADD. We do thd best we can and our Lord us there to help us. God bless you!

[@akmiller6845]

One of the most powerful prayers I have learned to pray comes from Roman's 8. Holy Spirit, will you please intercede for me in the my weakness. I have found this to be so comforting and strengthening.

[@joankessen6744]

Love listening to you and you seem such a nice person. I miss your dog and cat walking behind you when you took your walks. I think that was when you lived in California. It was so cute. One time my daughter called me and asked what I was doing. I told her I am listening to my friend Chynna even though she doesn't know who I am. She got a kick out of that. God bless you and keep doing what you are doing. We need more Christian people in this world.

[@imaamericangirl1406]

Amen. I feel like she is my close sister/ friend. Thank you , Lord for each other out there in the world praying and encouraging one another.

[@trujustice8628]

Papa God calm and heal the storm that is Chynna. Give her the peace and order she needs in her life. In Jesus Name.

[@k9misty1981]

I've suffered with ADD all my life, the struggle is REAL! But I've managed to manage it. I'm very thankful for my blessings though! The truth is, if everyone in the world threw their problems in a great big pile, I would look at all those problems and would grab mine right back! I'm not minimizing your struggle, believe me, but it's all about perspective... ADD is frustrating, but it is what it is and all we can do is all we can do. I pray you get good results with your doctor! I just live with mine and my fiancée is very supportive and understanding. ❤

[@DandSmom]

And guess what, menopause hormone craziness makes it worse! All we can do is give it to God and hold on for one more day! ❤

[@randomroz545]

Loved a lot of what you had to say. I don't have shame or self consciousness with my anxiety or adhd tendencies. I worked in a hospital for years and between patients and staff, and just over the years you can tell many are afflicted. I think it's actually a normal part of our human condition especially these days, the hustle and bustle and instant connectivity to a barrage of info and stimulation lends itself to this kind of (hay)wiring. I think the people that struggle the most are the ones that think they're smarter than or stronger than and can go it alone. You have to submit to help in whatever form. Meds can be absolutely ok if used responsibly. Too many ppl drink and drink too much that doesn't help. I was thinking trust the process and then you said something just like that! Let that control go and give it up to God! Indeed! You're coming to a great place, Chynna! And you spreading the word of adhd and gospel is getting you there. I really enjoyed the resurrection talk and how it's a new daily push! Great thoughts! Thanks for sharing and being so open!

[@JodiBeans411]

Chy, you're an earth angel and I'm so grateful for you! The wisdom you share is a treasure! I enjoy your perspective and listening to you has allowed me to deepen my faith and walk with our Lord. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for showing up, having the courage to speak on the challenging aspects of life as well as the fun and blissful times. You are appreciated, sweet friend. God bless you and yours today and always. 🙏🏻❤️🕊️

[@imaamericangirl1406]

Thank you for sharing this and for your openness and honesty. We need this kind of honesty and love shown to others in the world today. Please keep sharing. I love you, dear sister! You are loved and needed, Chynna. I’ve been praying for you and your family. Please pray for me and my family, too, sis. 😘🌸🩷

[@steved1021]

Chyna, I just watched your original official WilsonPhillips music video of your song "Hold On" tonight. I don't know where you were at in your Faith walk at the time that video was filmed BUT it struck me that it was a harbinger of y0ur current ministry for Jesus. Indeed, you have "held on" all these years to this point where you are now become a witness to His Power in your life. Thank you sister for your faithfulness to God's Presence in your life to use it for His Glory.

[@denisemathewson3285]

Thanks so much. My husband and I are on a healing journey, and are using something called, The DOC Journey..... one exercise that is meant to help with healing and one exercise is called "Expressive Writing." Writing down thoughts (all positive and negative), then ripping the paper up and throwing it away. This is supposed to separate ourselves from the thoughts....and take away their power!

[@jeanpeterman5314]

Chi, you are a wonderful Christian person, and I love that you lay the truth out there, and I love your honesty, and I love that you talk about your life and that it’s not perfect, as none of us aren’t only God holds that title. You don’t hold nothing back, and I love that. I’am trying to do better with my life but I have things that I need to work on, things that I’m not proud of and to be honest, I don’t know how long it will take to get through it, but I know that it’s something that I really need to work hard on. I have been trying to get back into going back to church, and to lean on God. My husband is going through some tough times and he has and is going through depression and he’s depending on some medication’s that are really changing him as a person, and it’s been going on for some time now, and it’s really hurting his health, and he’s going downhill fast. He lost one of his brothers about three years ago, and ever since then, slowly but surely it’s really done a’lot to him, and now he’s getting closer to losing his older brother and that’s weighing on his mind too, and he lost his sister to cancer about a couple of yrs ago, so this has all come crashing down on him really fast, plus he has a’lot of health problems himself and he’s real bad diabetic and has lost three toes already. All I can do is is put this in the good Lord’s hands let him take care of it because I’m really at a crossroads about what to do, and it’s taking a toll on me because I’m scared that I going to lose him if he doesn’t quit the things that he’s doing. My apologies Chi for writing such a long message, it’s more like a letter, but I felt that I could really talk to someone that would not judge, and could feel what I’m going through. Thank you chi for being true to yourself and true to us, and especially for being an honest person who’s been through a’lot in her life, and can relate. May God bless you and Billy and all your family.❤❤. I can’t find the prayer hands, sorry.

I think the worst is the anxiety! The social anxiety is worse. And the recovery time needed after the stress! The depression is awful you just wait it out and try to self medicate and my days and nights are backwards! Sorry don't mean to babble.

[@jillianbenyak4529]

I need an ADHD coach BAD and am in MD. Who do you go to?! I feel like the world shifted during Covid and while many things are better as a result, I don’t know how to ‘operate’ anymore. Too many things changed, and my ADHD is out of control. I knew how to function before, the ‘hacks’ other talked about on here… to get them through the day, but my hacks don’t work anymore, the structure, routine, of what I had is gone and now I just ‘manage’ to get through the days. It’s a bad way to live. I need to figure out how to fix this. TIA

Of course, live where you want, but please know that the existence of California Preachin makes California a better place. Maybe every state needs its own state Preachin.

How I appreciate your California Preachin. Thank you for a spotlight on ADHD. I am almost 70 and still dealing with it. My little sister, Venus, has helped me with it. One thing is as Simple as a cup of coffee. She has a spa with a salt room and has studied holistic medicine and always helps us all. Listening to your love for our Savior Jesus and how at peace you are with some childhood hardships gives folks hope. My mother had 11 children and suffered the loss of four and she was our rock in our chaotic childhood. Momma kept us feeling loved and hopeful, respectful of others , and so many things. Even if we were sleeping in our car at times, I felt safe with her and always felt that things would get better . God Bless you and keep his hand on your shoulder and guide you always. I pray The Holy Spirit will always minister to your heart and soul.🙏🏻❤️

I finally learned that when I felt I had to control everything I was actually under attack by the spirit of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power,love and a sound mind.

[@Thehealingtraumapodcast]

Can relate with ADD and trying to getting through boring tasks. I use timers sometimes so that my tasks don’t feel never ending. It’s frustrating but acceptance helps, this is a neuro- physiological issue not a spiritual so self compassion. It helps to try and be kind and not harsh with yourself 🤗

[@TheresaPennington-tc7hb]

I swore after having a very serious case of septic pneumonia, fever 105F, and in the hospital for 5 days, that I'd never complain how my day is going. My goal lying in bed there was just to be able to get up, and have the energy just to do regular daily tasks, and to be able just to go home. The was a 6 years. It took me 6 weeks just to get my energy back 100%. I still to this day remember that simple goal, and it helped to cope everyday with just daily life. If I'm stressed, I do a brisk walk for 1 mile. Your brain gets a hit of those good feeling chemicals you produce. You'll feel more relaxed and it clears your head. Appreciate good physical health if you have it!

[@christineolexa5116]

Many of us feel isolated, tired and overwhelmed. Lower your expectations. Minister to your husband, his needs and your family's needs as your first priority. Then reach out to your neighbors however you feel led. This is super humbling but necessary. Get your boots on the ground; ADDD or ADHD are no excuses. No medication! This not your identity. This does not serve you. Take sides against your flesh. There us no other way. At some point you need to LAND; you and Billy.

[@sarahlaslett3279]

With all due respect I don't think you understand what Chynna is talking about. I have spent the very most part of my life serving others both within and outside my family and all the things you list to do and getting my "boots on the ground" etc - very much so. I do not regret and never will regret serving others but it never made any difference to this particular issue. Yes everybody has strugges of one sort or another and like everybody else so do I but then there is the particular issue Chynna has and myself also. Believe me it can be seriously life affecting. It is only recently in my advanced years that I have recognised that there is and always has been a particular problem which has nothing to do with not "getting your boots on the ground" etc, enough. It is only in the last 2 years that God has gently and lovingly taken the whip out of my hand with which I have lashed myself. He has given me new insight - his insight. I am now managing my life better. I will continue to serve others. With , this new and much needed insight and understanding I am gentler with myself and far bettter able to love and be merciful to others, with the love and mercy of God.

Great post Chynna. Loved this topic....so relatable.

[@bornagainbeliever1429]

Hi Chynna, I was never diagnosed, but I think I’ve had ADD my whole life- it was hard to focus and concentrate in school, and in conversations my mind sometimes drifts (which I feel bad because I’m supposed to be listening!) at home I seem to get distracted right when I have devotional time!! But I do try to stay focused because I want to give the Lord that time in the morning. On another note, I may have missed this, but weren’t you in NY temporarily, and still have your beautiful home in CA to go back to? Or are you just trying to find another temporary home in NY? I hope everything is ok with your family! I’ll be praying for you and Billy 🩵

We have to be ready for those bumps in the road. Sometimes we have to make u-turns to go back to the point that we started from and review our choices. Rewind and defrag when necessary. We all need to stop and smell the "Roses" on the way. Take Care and enjoy life. (in New York) 😉

There is a very nice meditation I learned long ago where if you can visualize and imagine walking up these beautiful marble stairs to a Temple surrounded by pillars. Waiting for you in this open air Temple is Jesus. You can ask Jesus a question, any question and listen for the answer, I do this when I get stuck or forget who I am. For instance, I was feeling really bad about myself for my negativity and I did the Temple meditation and asked Jesus if he could help me with it and Jesus said to me, you are forgiven. What a relief I felt immediately, because I had been exaggerating and feeling like I was so guilty forgetting that I am loved unconditionally. Anyway, I thought I would share that. Thank you, Chynna ❤️🙏🌅

Oh Chy!! Great Cal Preach!! I love you sweet friend. ❤🦋🌺

[@luv4pets]

Chynna, have you ever counted the amount of I's you express in your videos? Just askin'.

[@sarahlaslett3279]

There are "so many I's" because Chynna is talking about a particular problem that affects her and in so doing is being helpful to others with similar at leadt me

[@barbaralawrence-rodriguez2981]

Thanks Chynna. Peace of Christ! ❤

[@jeanpeterman5314]

I love you Chi. And I love your family too!!❤❤

[@missym.843]

I admire your wisdom and knowledge shared in your videos. I also understand your struggles with ADD. For me it worsens with anxiety and insomnia. I'm still talking to Jesus about that.

[@maryjaneclark3380]

Having you describe what you go through having OCD made me think I possibly may have some symptoms?? Hmmm? Nice to see you as always ! Come to Texas ( at least for a visit). Have a Cal Preach gathering here. Enjoy your weekend! Love ya 💜✝️🇨🇱

[@robinlynn7483]

I love this! ❤.

[@karenearle-browne6789]

You are not alone! And thank you for talking about it. I am 58 and just finding out that I am ADD because my daughter was diagnosed.

[@kathyarmstrong8644]

God bless you dear daughter in Christ!! You are an amazing woman…

[@jackielight6908]

I always say choose your battles dont nag or frustrate Billy I loved your message tonight Chy yes Jesus is always by our side but I think sometimes he wants us to figure things out on our own my problem lately is I just cant get motivated its like I have no energy I feel like Im stuck .

[@karlheppard9057]

I have crippling ADD too. About 30 seconds attention span as well. Need to listen to sermons on recording so I can rewind often to relisten to things I missed. Some people with ADD, even though they may have difficulty paying attention to others, if they are engaged in something on their own, some have the ability to hyper focus. The ADD actually manifests itself in the ability to block out distractions. That’s how I work, so I make use of it. May the LORD bless you in your efforts to manage it.

[@eileenboldreghini8617]

Next time we visit family in Cali I hope we can visit your California Healing.

[@ChynnaPhillipsBaldwin]

Hi Eileen, California Healin' is an online community! We meet over Zoom calls. We'd love to have you join us! 🥰👏🏻🥰

[@bossmom522]

We’re all sinners and fall short of the glory of God.. only God can heal✝️

[@victoriawrightson9625]

Hey Chynna this is me right now struggling with ADD!! I’ve always had it but it’s become more prominent since hitting the peri menopause as losing oestrogen doesn’t go well with the lack of dopamine our ADD brains are absorbing anyway. That’s why alot of women are getting a late diagnosis as it’s masking itself with the menopause symptoms and so you could end up being treated with HRT for menopause rather than ADD meds X

[@lisasuzanne8474]

You are sooooo accountable!!! What an example!!

[@Hineini1965]

I hear zero accountability. She never stops calling out her husband on a public platform. She's never satisfied with him or anything. She blames all her bad behavior on Satan, who is actually busy with murderers and terrorists and evil people. She's not held spiritually hostage. She CHOOSES to be unhappy. I'm so not a fan of how she consistently uses her platform to bash her husband. It is NOT complimentary or helpful to proclaim I am going to think of the things I love about my husband after she spent yet another week fighting with him and airing their dirty laundry.

[@natalie199077]

Beautiful!!

[@cathleenjacobus3699]

Great advice!😘Thank you beautiful friend.

[@anncollard1742]

I'm ADHD poster child. I'm 69 and it's really a problem. Since I'm retired I refuse to take medicine but it is very hard on my husband who is SO focused and completes everything he does. I'm also consistently late. It's a sickness and comes off as rude. I'm working on all but not gonna take meds. Although Chy I DID learn some behaviors when I was on meds. Like stopping and checking around me for phone, purse, coat ect. I lost SO many before I did some treatment. You seem to be organized with all you do with your ministry and maybe it's not ADD? ALSO your hair is to die for!

[@angelajackson3258]

Just like you, I have ADD and the challenges are increasing as I age. And, correct, most people don't understand it, and I'm frequently embarrassed to disclose the matter to most people in detail.

[@user-dn8nm6tm6z]

Chynna, I highly recommend you look into a neurofeedback (not biofeedback) practitioner for your ADD. Two of my sons have ADD, and it was the single most helpful thing for their symptoms outside of medication, and powerfully so

[@jenniferderosa6472]

Chynna, we have a lot in common. I've been struggling with ADD like you my entire life. It's been quite a frustrating journey.

[@trujustice8628]

Pride goes before a fall. We are a vessel. He fills it. All wisdom and knowledge comes from God. You are a performer girl. So hard to not perform. He always ask us to do that which really stretches us.

[@user-uu3xx5te6e]

Hey Chynna I have a lot of anxiety makes me feel that I have ADHD. I know my brother had that and grew out of it. I hope you recover from this and do not worry about change in your life not having ADHD. Remember it's something that is happening for us not to us in Jesus name. I still remember what you said about this quote. Love you Chynna and thanks for your incredible stories.

[@visionvixxen]

Yes- and possibly ASD. I could write a book. We can also present at borderline or narcissistic with these types of neurodiversities. Someone put it all as a” low paying job that is way way way too hard to do”

[@MaryeDisney]

Thank you for sharing and always helping us. You should try San Francisco. My son lives there and loves it!!!!!♥♥♥

[@deborahmckay8451]

Sending prayers….love….hugs! 🙏🏻☀🌼🌻 I see you both as California people! Get back out to that beautiful Pacific Coast! ❤🏖

[@leesmith9483]

Menopause makes anxiety adhd and depression worse. I’m going through it now. How do you manage to keep your hair full. My thick hair is shedding so much 😢. I’m going through exactly what your going through and I feel so isolated. My birthday is also 2/12/68.

[@UdoraHogge]

Wow! Exactly what I have been thinking about. Less of me and more of HIM. How though? I’m in my head 24/7

[@lisasuzanne8474]

Yep, same thing here about my ADHD. I totally get it!

[@carolinekirkpatrick3497]

Honestly, Chynna, I never noticed you being all over the place like this when I first started watching these videos, so the question is have I become more discerning or is there a spirit driving this that has gotten much worse? As you speak about being ADHD, a restlessness comes over my spirit that makes it hard for me to watch this for less than 15 minutes and I have been able to watch hours of your videos in my down time before. Do you feel it was like this even a year ago and if so, is it that you are no longer hiding it. I truly struggle to believe this is purely a physical condition because I know more people who are ADHD now than aren’t. I will pray for spiritual discernment on this matter.

[@deeannmacbride6080]

I deal with a Panic Anxiety Disorder. It's been brutal -yet we are all dealt cards. The best is to discuss it as you choose. Let God hear I need HELP (HE knows but He Wants to Hear it). It will come, perhaps not as we envision, but it will come. As for marriage. The honeymoon is over, the years pass, and you have to look into each others eyes and ask yourself "Are these the eyes you want to keep looking into?" And I believe you both will say yes!. The Devil will have a field day until you Buzz him OFF. Your passion and way of living as a Christian is different from Billy's. You can walk together but your steps won't be identical....let it be..my husband and I are different in how we worship but our heads are still toward heaven.

[@p756]

Chynna, now that you and Billy are empty nesters, have you considered the option of having a summer home and a winter home? Just a thought. God Bless you and your family.

[@jenniferh8961]

I have ADD and have for years. I’ve always been a very unmotivated person, unfortunately. Have difficulty reading, have piles of books only started 😢 I’ve tried all the meds, that help some but also affect sleep so never a consistent solution for me. Meditation, yoga, exercise all help to calm the mind. I wish you luck in your exploration and understand the distress! 🩵 🧘🏻‍♀️ 😌

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

I am still working on being PrESENT 🎁 & making progress

[@50hellkat2]

The original quote from the King James Bible is Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Some theologians interpret this to mean that a proud person will be condemned to hell. This goes together with the idea that humble people will be rewarded in heaven. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
