I had good grades growing up. When they slipped it wasn't because I wasn't smart enough but usually because I didn't do my homework. It's something that always made me stop before considering ADHD, instead I just assumed it was all part of my anxiety. But now I'm starting to think that most of the other symptoms match me perfectly and maybe that's why I find routine tasks so difficult. I will sometimes feel paralyzed, just sitting on the couch staring at my phone while my brain races through a list of all the things I should do but have not done.

my biggest confusion while figuring out if I have this is, that I have never struggled to have good grades. The only time my grades were bad is when I was bored or it was too easy and too repetative (especially in early grades). I did have trouble sitting down to study and focus but I still managed to keep up good grades. I still have most other adhd symptoms, especiial at home but I am worried that nobody will believe me as I was good in school.

I went to psychiatrists multiple times when I was younger, around 7-9years old because of my misbehaviour at school. Running away from teachers, not completing work in class, distracting other students etc. I don’t remember what the outcome of those visits were but my parents both constantly just tell me nothings wrong with me I just need to get over it and stop being lazy. I’m 18 now and in my final year of school and I’m struggling more than ever because I constantly lose papers, procrastinate and my mind wonders in almost every class I have every day. I haven’t been diagnosed yet but watching these videos make me cry every time,. All this time I thought I was just stupid and abnormal for a “girl” but I feel like these people describe me to a T. I’m disappointed the psychiatrists I visited at a child never diagnosed me, everything could’ve been so much better all these years. The constant struggle with completing tasks at school, the low self esteem and anxiety when teachers would ask me questions and I would have no idea what to say because my mind constantly overloads and goes blank. I’m upset. But I hope soon I can get the proper diagnosis and medication to help me focus.

I’m 49 and finally figured out what was wrong with me when I researched adhd. I was elated it’s something I can’t describe. I scheduled a psych eval ...which cost me $1500 just to be devastated. The doctor told me since I have anxiety and depression she can’t diagnose me with adhd because they have the same symptoms. She also said because of some of “my traumas” I don’t meet the criteria of adhd. Even though I have every single symptom of adhd it’s the same symptoms of anxiety and depression so we would have to fix all that before I could be diagnose with adhd. It’s so frustrating because even though she is “the expert” she is wrong and I feel very confident about that. I feel defeated. I don’t even know what to do now because I know I have been misdiagnosed my entire life. I get caught up not even knowing of I can trust myself and if I’m right even though I know I’m right. So upsetting.

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

I am sorry about the runaround that you are experiencing. This is very typical. If you have a qEEG brain map performed you can see exactly which brain patterns your brain is using. There are different patterns for ADHD, trauma, anxiety, and depression. You can see the neurological patterns with your own eyes. You could look up a provider near you and of course we offer that service in my office at Leigh Brain & Spine. If you go to another provider, I offer a brain map interpretation service that I could analyze your map for you. I would get one if I were you so you can see what’s going on definitively. It will help you feel better plus it will give you a plan of action to help improve your brain performance.

[@kari7403]

@@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire Is the qEEG Brain map different than a normal EEG? If so, what are the differences? I could certainly use that, as I have had similar issues as OP. For the past 20 years I've been battling sever anxiety issues and my house is almost always a mess. I have to be of the right mindset to get something done. And once I start something I'm finally set on, I cant stop or do anything else, before jts done, or I get really upset and cant stop thinking about it. When I was exercising daily, i would get incredibly irritated if i was interrupted and had to finish my 40 mile cycling on stationary bike. (I'm thinking this is evidence of hyper focus part.) Though if I start something while not in the right mindset (which is majority of the time.) I cant figure out where to start or what to do and just say screw it about 10% of the way into it. Definitely an awful procrastinator, no matter how hard I try to stay on top of things. I cant even make phone calls for dentist or dr. Appointments, usually. Sucks.

[@Tinyjaja]

My professor who has done lots of research about ADHD at the University of Washington said you don't need to do brain maps to get diagnosed. Be careful on how some people recommend it ( someone is making money off those brain scans!). Although true it will show you the differences in the brain patterns, not all people can afford that so don't feel pressured that this is the only way to show it. There isn't "only one way". I've heard of neuroplasticity and how we can strengthened synapses by introducing to our brain repetition and practice of a skill ( or lose it if not used) that may have been affected in childhood from traumas but it's the first time I am hearing about it related to ADHD. Which I can totally believe if you aren't using or practicing a skill it can weaken and if you have adhd it can be harder to use those skills. I'm curious about this and will show my professors who have studied ADHD extensively, . There are other and probably much more affordable ways to treat ADHD. So far in my current education I have learned that ADHD is not curable but treatable. I also learned that although not really curable some children may recover from the disorder and others don't. I wonder about the ethics of doctors selling their products of a "miracle cure". There should be transparency on who is sponsoring this, how much doctors are making, and there should be links to well established research. Otherwise this can be problematic and unethical.

Hi Nikita...I just found out I prob have ADD. I'm 58 and my therapist has referred me to a psychiatrist who works a lot with ADD and ADHD.

[@huda-issaoui]

Woooow this is exactly me. The lazy perfectionist

[@kojayeoja]

OMG "lazy perfectionist" describes me perfectly. My sister has ADHD and she also took a long time to get diagnosed. I think my mom has it and I'm starting to think I could have it too...but I hesitate because I'm not forgetful, I'm not impulsive, I can concentrate well and I don't often "space out", I'm pretty socially aware but still can be awkward and shy. But, I also procrastinate A LOT, I can start things I'm passionate about but then lose motivation (never finish anything), I've struggled with severe anxiety and depression, feeling like something's wrong with me and why can't I be a normal adult like everyone else, I can get really irritable and frustrated with sounds (loud noises, dogs barking, chewing (misophonia)), I have a hard time keeping jobs...but things like that could always be explained with anxiety, likely caused by trauma making me learn stupid shit as a kid (raised by a narcissist). I feel like it could be both, or either...it seems more "likely" that I'm a perfectionist because I learned to be scared of being judged/not good enough for my narcissist parent, I procrastinate because I'm scared of failure, also avoiding anxious feelings that certain tasks bring (calling to make a doctor's appt)...I can avoid and put things off for a very long time but just figured it was anxiety, which it very well could be, but of course people with ADHD have anxiety too. Once, I read a list of symptoms and it was so obviously clear that my sister fit the list, but I don't really fit those things...the only things that fit me are procrastination/loss of motivation, feeling "lazy", irritable/anxious/depressed, and wondering why everyone around me can function as an adult when I'm just as smart (or way smarter, honestly) but I can't -- 31 and still living with my mom because of my anxiety, depression, trauma (and maybe ADHD?) and inability to hold down a job and support myself. I've never been fired but I've quit a lot of jobs because of my anxiety or fear of confrontation, or just burnout because of the schedule, having to do things that drain me... anyway, the more I research this the more possible it seems, but I'm still not sure. Luckily I'm talking to my psychiatrist soon, and hopefully he knows enough about ADHD (and in women) to give me an idea of what's going on. I've been on meds for depression/anxiety basically my whole adult life, and so has my sister. But when my sister has all the obvious female symptoms, and when we've always suspected she was "different" (we were told it was aspergers, when that was still a thing), while I was the more "normal" one and didn't struggle with things like she did, it's hard to think that I could have what she has. I know everyone can present differently, but... I was smart in school (besides math) but I took like 5 years to finish a 2 year associates degree because I got so burned out and started failing classes. After taking a break from school for a few years, I had the interest to go back to get my bachelors and luckily had the motivation to finish in 2 years but I think I would've been close to burning out if I had to go through another semester. But I love learning and I love academic environments, actually - at least when it's not math. And then I started a job that my degree was supposed to prepare me for, but I burned out from anxiety and the pressures of a "real job" and quit (and also just didn't really like the job, but a lot of it wasn't just the job itself), and went into a deep depression that I'm just starting to climb out of, after working with my therapist and getting on new antidepressants. I can see the pattern in my life of: feeling like I'm wasting my life --> do something drastic to try to "fix" it --> burning out from anxiety from putting too much pressure on myself and falling back to square one, with yet another failure under my belt, making it even harder for me to want to ever try again. Anyway, I don't know if I'm gonna get any help posting this comment in a random hidden place on the internet, replying to someone who also doesn't know if they have ADHD lol, but I just needed somewhere to get it all out. I'm also 31 (but it was a year ago when you posted this comment) and I'm still wondering how I'm supposed to be an adult, and how can I still be struggling when I'm on medications that are supposed to help. Sure, I'm not suffering with constant anxiety anymore (at least not "bad" anxiety/panic attacks), but I've had a bad winter, a pretty dark depression, which was caused by a combination of things ("failure" of job/career, not having the structure/motivation of school anymore, selling our family business which had gotten me out of the house and helped me feel productive, so then I was sitting around doing literally nothing, not even exercising). I'm on an SNRI now instead of an SSRI, which I guess is more "hardcore," but the N (norepinephrine) is actually supposed to help with symptoms of ADHD so I wonder if that could also be helping me climb out of my depression hole a bit...but I'm still struggling with paralysis from perfectionism, fear of failure, overwhelm of all the things I need to do, rock bottom self-esteem, anxiety from not being able to make money to support myself/family...it's hard to do anything. I guess if I were to try a medication for ADHD and it worked then I would know that I have ADHD, right? Idk, just gonna watch more videos and talk to my psych about it I guess...

Hi I struggle every day I have anger out bursts melt downs... Disordganized emotion regulation stimulation don't deal with stress over whelmed

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

I just made a video about how to deal with anger!

[@TohrYuKyo]

I believe I have undiagnosed ADHD. I have enough money to get evaluated and diagnosed....but thats it. Any treatment. Any medication. Any therapy, I can't afford. So what the hell do i do now? 😔 why does everything have to be so expensive?

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

I can help you get started without me. We could talk in a consultation and I could give you a plan that you could implement by yourself. Of course the more support you have the faster and easier it is to heal, but it definitely can be done by yourself. If you’d like to talk the link is below. drtrishleigh.com/adhd-brain-training/

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

Have you gotten the help you need? Reach out to me if not. I can set you on a path that you can do it by yourself.

[@yves6180]

Exercices, walking, méditation,

[@kikki2012]

@@yves6180 Have you used these methods with success? Can you say something about how affected you were and how you are doing now? How long period was needed before you noticed improvements? Otherwise, it could just be words. I'm really interested!

[@deathandcats]

Why isn't this kind of treatment recommended to males with ADHD? They were the most visible adhd-ers for such a long time, I'm surprised that the doctors haven't tried this on them.

[@Bluetabz_on_igg]

I’ve been on anxiety, OCD,Adhd and Bpd Lightztripz on In^^stagram sells💊>🍄> has helped me out with this

[@deathandcats]

@@Bluetabz_on_igg that has very little to do with my comment

[@caitgrigsby761]

Probably because females are different from males.

[@deathandcats]

@@caitgrigsby761 sorry, that just doesn't make sense to me. Because what that implies is that a) male brains are more rigid and their neural pathways are so set they can't be rewired, or learn new things, and b) female brains are more malleable, can be manipulated much more easily, and it's possible to rewire a female ND brain to become more like a NT brain.

Does it count if I had to watch this video 3x because I couldn't pay attention.

[@angiewallick6236]

I just remembered now. I put bagels in the toaster 4hours ago and finally remembered😂

[@moxiemedia]

Not trying to be funny but I toggled between this video, some design work, bread making and laundry. I did make it to the end. lol ADHD right here folks. ;)

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

I can help with that. You could purchase the brain training headband from Muse with a 15% discount with the link below. It is very affordable and works! I have the Muse-2 and you can add the Biofeedback+ feature to listen to podcasts with brain feedback. You will enjoy it and it will help. You can add coaching with me if you are inspired. ;) Information on both is below. drtrishleigh.com/neurofeedback-coaching-program/

[@elizabethbennet4791]

Ahhh you're selling Neuro feedback that all makes sense now

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

I help people using digital programs and neurofeedback. But, I am not here to "sell" anything. I work with people who want help. There is a difference.

[@talesthesalesman3106]

She's a helper before she's a seller, helping through selling, not just money grabbing

I hate to drop a Debbie downer but Google teen pot use and %% of personality disorders. My younger brother was a aspiring auto tech. Now he's like a barnyard chicken pecking the ground. Smoked lots of weed at 15 up. Its a touchy subject.

[@bystandersarah]

I’m actually very angry at every adult who ever didn’t recognize it. I was just considered a bad kid and as an adult, just a f**k up. Even though I was trying my hardest >>The Whole Time

[@kari7403]

So ADHD is basically Lag or Buffering? Haha. Great example.

[@silje8164]

I just clicked on this video, because I might have adhd. And 2 minutes in i’m distracted by the tv for the rest of the video. Are you fucking serious?! hahah

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

Sounds like you could benefit from Neurofeedback ;-)

[@claudiasermeno5957]

But then struggled

[@elizabethbennet4791]

Its a nervous system disorder technically,like autism

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

Yes, it is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

[@sharonelizabeth5364]

I seriously need help

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

I would love to help you. You can sign up for a consultation on my website so we can talk privately. drtrishleigh.com/adhd-brain-training/

[@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire]

Have you gotten the help that you are looking for? Get a qEEG performed. It will help you understand what’s going on in your brain. I can interpret it for you also if you would like.

[@sharonelizabeth5364]

@@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire No ma'am. I really need help.

That painting behind you is distracting. ☺️

[@millsblues866]

I really, really appreciate you bringing light to this, however, PUHHLEEZ find another way to explain it. Please never say *slower processing brain, "or whatever. Please rewrite future things describing to patients and the world something so far from the truth. I understand that you're not the messenger, but I need you to dig deeper because our processing speed is actually way too fast-thus making it really freaking difficult to get shit done.... At least for me. 🙏

[@annv6781]

WTF

[@booleanna]

misleading title.

[@Polecat-qz5om]

Your bra strap is showing. My brain is not slow It just does not think linear and is over active.
