The double-edged sword: ADHD and impulsivity | Kimberly Quinn | TEDxAmoskeagMillyard

[@daniela_5542]

“It’s not the ADHD that kills us; it’s the underlying shame.” That line alone hit me hard and made me cry. As a woman with ADHD, this TED talk makes me feel seen; like I’m not alone in my struggles.

[@mandylee9919]

I was just diagnosed at 46…this video has been on repeat. Thank you for this talk! It is really helping me

[@AK-jk7co]

ADHD can actually kill us, and I don’t mean the higher rate of suicide or substance abuse disorders - which can be tied to shame. But adults with ADHD are 1.81 times more likely to have serious car crashes (due to inattention). I personally have rear ended, and not like a fender bender rear ended but a semi serious crash,2 cars in my adulthood. Actually, people with ADHD (this includes me, and I have what is considered “severe” adhd) are twice as likely to die premature deaths from accidents in general.

[@tchalla3608]

I cried as well

[@pochopmartin]

As a guy with ADHD I feel the same way. Being a doctor, I'm pretty successful by most standards. However I'm constantly stuck in shame spirals just like she's describing. I'm not financially stable as would be expected from someone in my profession. I have a string of long term bit "failed" relationships, and I often find myself feeling "stuck" in a career than many would dream to have and the guilt and shame follow. You are not alone and there is no way to tell from the outside how someone is struggling. I cried at this as well, from grief for my young undiagnosed self, from relief of being seen, and from gratitude of having a partner now who sees me and shared this with me. I wish you all the best on your journey. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

[@rasikaraj9331]

I feel so connected to what shes saying .

[@EstablishedLowriders]

The saddest part about adhd is only you understand your issues, and everyone else what’s to judge you on your behavior 🤦‍♀️

[@Megdracula]

I just would hide

[@MarokoJin]

talk about it with your trusted friends, they'll become your best advocates. Same is happening to me and I'm aware I'm far from being the employee of the month or the best person you can encounter lol, but hey, my homies know me and they're fine with it. Compensate with other things by "more presence" for them, meeting them more frequently or even go earlier somewhere and go for a walk, window-shopping until they come. It usually works... do not keep your mind scattered around the approval of dozens, even hundreds of people, that's something not even "neurotypical" people can handle. ;)

[@hotmessmissy]

Absolutely

[@growingsoul30]

Facts

[@CDiepenbroek]

At least we're not alone my man

[@ToanTheNomad]

Living with ADHD is essentially starting a game of life on hard mode while everyone else is on normal or easy mode.

[@XxDiPpInDoTsXx]

I did too because it does, and you're not alone in that.

[@someguyontheinternet7165]

Adhd friends, set play speed to 1.5x, maybe even 2.0x and if on mobile go to full screen so you aren't tempted to scroll through comments. You've got a super power! You have only struggled because the world isn't designed to naturally utilize it. Figure out how you can and show them all wrong. You don't just have "so much potential". You have value you even if you haven't discovered where it is yet. Find your niche, fill it, and you'll be the best in it. You've got this!

Realizing that I am an ADHD has actually made me much more happier than anything else. Everything makes sense now. It wasnt my fault. I was not lazy. I was not a bad girl. I am different and I say it happily. Oh yess I have an atypical brain and I am happy about it.

[@mysticvirgo9318]

[@ginny8150]

What a blessing to have such a supportive spouse

[@mayraackermann9941]

Thinking the same.

[@kirpdeb]

I will admit… that I am jealous. That seems to be a rare quality in a man. Having a supportive and understanding partner and employer are two of my biggest challenges.

[@noeramirez5898]

I've been struggling with ADHD my whole life and it's destroyed my marriage, relationship with my father that now is in heaven. The last three years it has driven me to impulsive behavior with alcohol and decisions that make me fall behind and end up in the same circle. I'm fed up with it and I've decided to get help once and for all. If you are struggling with ADHD and are married I strongly recommend getting help immediately.

[@lougf3812]

Wow! As a parent my adhd could make things fun and carefree, at the same time struggling to get bedtime under control.. At work, it can be being able to juggle several tasks simultaneously yet consistently arriving 10 minutes late and forgetting to write down requests or just forgetting them entirely. Feeling exhilaration at new ideas and then exhausted because I take on too much. Being able to forgive and LITERALLY forget.....to being mistreated and not recognizing the patterns and being taken advantage of by others. DOUBLE EDGED SWORD.....NO KIDDING!!

[@JB-cx2vk]

I'm tearing up listening to this video. I could have been killed/kidnapped because of my ADHD(which I didn't find out I had until 2 years ago). I was/am a risk taker, and impulsive in my late teens and I was attention starved and just being introduced to the internet. I'm lucky to be alive..

[@charlottedickson9203]

I'm 62, been battling it my whole life, just understanding now how much it shaped my life, I never did homework in my life Long before it's acronym it's diagnosis or it's pill they called us restless dreamers I'm a restless dreamer still

62 too, this also made my life make sense! Now that I have been taking the meds for awhile I feel like I still have a lot of the same tendencies. I guess that’s why I looked for videos like this.

[@eleisaemde7733]

“Authenticity doesn’t need fixing” - stunning talk!

[@Megdracula]

Always wanna be authentic

[@openmind1335]

My issue is my impulsive behavior. It usually comes out when I’m upset. It’s ruined my relationships

[@afifahragnvindr]

the way she described the 'shame' hits me...

[@PennoyerFoyer]

The literal second she said 54 yo, college, and pre-approved credit cards in college ..I burst into tears...I remember those days so fully..and the power I have given myself in FORGIVENESS BECAUSE I WAS NOT DIAGNOSED UNTIL...54.

[@TylinaVespart]

Oh god, I'm so glad you're talking about the impulsivity bit. Because I masked well it didn't look like I had a problem here... But my life has been a series of months of being responsible to an insane degree, followed by an impulsive moment that I'd then spend months or years accounting for. It mounts up, and I now struggle to buy anything when we need it. Been diagnosed now and its helping but the marks it leaves on your life are real.

[@agibail]

It brings me so much hope that Dr. Quinn was able to find a work environment supportive of her ADHD.

[@jocelynevonstrong3561]

My boss is ADHD and I was completely honest with him about mine. He has defended me to others and helped me find ways to create systems for the tough stuff and celebrates my stregnths.

[@MM-km5zf]

her voice is youthful, calming, and very pleasant.

[@kimcom6668]

This woman makes me proud of my ADHD and impulsivity! I am jealous of her students haha would love to meet her one day

[@gretchennirvana]

Same here!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tracy6385]

Right?! We need more teachers with her brilliance!

[@koolkel00]

God I remember being that little kid. I remember feeling worthless because I got bad grades because I could never find my homework even though when we did in class work I was acing it like As and Bs. I remember getting called out and feeling humiliated because I kept drawing in math class because my eyes had to be on something so I could actually hear the lesson. I remember being in band for the first time and the teacher screeching at me and waving around a drumstick like she was gonna hit me because for the forth time that week I hadn't completed my minutes of at home practice because my parents were always at work and gave me no after school structure and I couldn't motivate myself and do it independently and not get distracted l. I cried in front of everyone and quit band for good even though in my free time I later took up the ukulele on my own and taught myself how to play it. I still always wished I had learned an instrument officially and regret it to this day. I remember sitting in reading class and focusing on a paragraph so hard I was sobbing because I had the best vocabulary in my class, I could write so well and articlately and I could read really well! I knew I was smart I was so smart I knew what all the words meant individually, and I'd start reading the paragraph but then I'd have to go back and read it again and again because my brain just would not retain the meaning of the sentence, and I would get so angry, and I'd look around and see nobody else was struggling why was this happening I picked this book why can't I do it. But I remember the teachers that saw how funtional and engaged I was in the classroom and how proficient I was in the subject, that forgave the lost or procrastinated homework, or modified the assignment so that I could do it in a way that worked for me, those are the teachers that made the biggest impact on me.

[@KlydetheGlyde]

Such a great message. People want to celebrate ADHD as a new super power but I’ve seen all my life the strength can be your greatest weakness if not managed.

[@Megdracula]

This

[@raquelrabit7288]

yes.

[@katherineelizabethco]

During the day when I’m painting I wear headphones to block out distracting rumination. I’ll keep the headphones on when I’m doing household tasks. This helps me, so maybe it could work for others.

[@chloepeifly]

im not impulsive like “lets just drive up to new york and spend the night tonight!” like my adhd friend, but i am realizing i have a really bad problem with impulse spending. as much as technology helps with keeping track of credit card payments and bills (autopay is literally a lifesaver), its so easy for me to see something i want online and just be able to buy it right away. on top of how satisfying it is to be constantly awaiting another package and the short lived gratification of opening it, its the worst recipe for spending my paycheck in a week

I am 74 years old. Twelve years ago I was diagnosed as "a high functioning ADHA person". I felt "well I 've made it this far,guess I can make it from here" WRONG. My anxiety was over the moon, because my over active brain could image every thing that could go wrong. Self shaming got in the act as well. Now I am checking out distressing therapy. The gift of my ADHD is I have never been bored!

[@bonbonchita]

This is the best definition of ADHD I have ever heard. Nailed it!

[@idid138]

@Kimberly Quinn after listening to you, I feel like we need adhd support groups. Community where we can have wild exceptance and find that "genuine love and compassion" we so desperately need. I loved this and I hope you have more good stuff for me to listen to.

[@pjp9383]

Members of ADDA (Attention Deficit Disorder Association) can access a variety of support groups, accountability support groups, and workshops. Membership is paid, so not easily accessible to everyone, but it's not horrendously expensive. Not sure if they have low-income options. I just recently joined, so I could join the Women 50+ group, and then also decided to sign up for a short term group about how to plan your day, month, year, and how to use planners. They've been really good, so far.

Im crying, ahhhhhhhhh so many similarities, so many relationships damaged. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@wastelanderone]

I was diagnosed a month before I turned 32 after a life of failing and tbh I'm so mad that I had to live with my terrible executive function for nearly 32 years! The creativity is great, but before treatment, I couldn't follow through on it even a little, or complete any education beyond high school, or keep my house clean, or manage my finances, or reach any of my goals. My life is so much better now!

[@thatdogguy9838]

Okay this scares me for one, but how did knowing that you have adhd change anything?

[@wastelanderone]

@@thatdogguy9838 Just the knowledge that it wasn't that I was bad, that it wasn't because I wasn't working hard enough, that it's something that I wasn't causing, was more than enough to start forgiving myself and stop beating myself up! Also, the treatment has been life-changing, and is only accessible after diagnosis.

[@trishferrer8209]

Dear Lord. This is the best. Thank You Kimberly for this talk. My son's impulsivity got him killed when he was barely 23. My heart is still shattered, almost nine years later. Shattered. 💔 I am a woman with ADHD, and I believe I passed "something" along to him, through my genes. I believe my father had it, but he too, died before he got old. Now I am seeing the most extreme case in my 5-year-old grandson. Panic. Fear. Shame. Grief. All rolled up in one wad of insanity, and the worst of these is SHAME.

I was recently diagnosed and the shame of being “not enough” or “too much” has burdened my entire life. I’ve been dying from the shame for nearly 40 years. When I decided to step away from the years of hidden shame it’s like I had my spark was ignited again. I am no longer living my life as a small quiet person that has to use every ounce of energy to hold everything tightly under control. I now that the energy to do things I’ve never been able to do and life is better than ever.

[@emmanueloshaddai3259]

How did you fix your focus?

[@sapir970]

Me, and my little brother have adhd. For a very long time I tried to be something different for him, but it only made me mad when he didn’t understand what I was trying to teach him. He was diagnosed when he was 5, he’s 14 today. I was diagnosed when I was 24. Which was last year. Knowing that I am also wired different, gave me a new perspective on him and I can see how what I teach him is actually getting through, because I’m trying to teach him like I want to be taught.

Omg!!! My mom always said I was a “Lucy” I was in a ballet class all the girls sitting nicely on the floor and me not being able to contain myself, they asked us if you wanna go anywhere in the world where would you go? They said Disney world, France, New York City, I said “home”. And when it was time to perform and all the girls were doing their pretty routines I was hanging from the bar like Lucy did. Also a total Tom boy. Huge hyperfixations on music n certain “weird” movies. But no career…. Jobs switching regularly. Moving a lot. Bad organization n planning skills. But super creative and articulate. Probably could have gotten into a better college if I just would do an essay.
