[@joy-lilyportelli3587]

This brought tears to my eyes... I'm 43, was only diagnosed with ADHD at age 40... In my youth I naturally did lots of what you advise andy energy was through the roof..! 😊 I met my husband, who picked apart everything and told me my priorities were out of whack and that I needed to focus... I tried so hard... I sank into a quiet, timid, listless hole... And I got stuck there... I have been battling to crawl back out for years... I thought all that energy was because I was young... When I go out - I now fight him to be able to do at least some of the things I love that light me up - when I go out I light up again my energy raises and I feel good 🎉 As soon as I get home I'm back to feel low and listless... Time to fight harder to do what works for me again ❤🎉 You may have actually just given me the keys to my life back... Thank You So Much ❤️🙏❤!!!!

[@AnnaSenPrice]

Hey, I did all this my whole life and was diagnosed aged 54…! What a revelation. For years I was fighting myself and not realising why. It’s good to finally understand it all and be able to look after myself now that I have the knowledge of how my head works! xx

[@JWelk92]

Remember to communicate this with your Husband. Better yet, have him watch this video and tell him that this is how you feel

[@rudolphrobbertze792]

It is like you are describing my life. It is bringing me to tears as I type. I woke up with heart pulpitations an hour ago with the aim of going for a walk and yet here I am. I try doing 3 or 4 things ALL DAY LONG. At the end of the day I feel that I have achieved nothing at all and feel like a complete failure.

[@HK.Builds]

It gets easier my friend. I know this sounds crazy but don't be afraid to fail. And always overestimate how much time you need to do things. People with ADHD are often very harsh on themselves. Even doing one thing off the list per day is good. That includes doing the washing!

[@mohanakrishna1766]

@rudolphrobbertze792 feeling like this only makes things more procrastinating and doesn’t help anyway, if you’re having adhd. Feel some gratitude over small things (even may 1 or 2) and them regulate that effect of dopamine to perform other tasks. Self appreciation is the key.

[@Lilwalkirie]

1 - you think that hyperfocus makes you invincible 2 - insecurity driven 3 - wrong kind of breaks 4 - underestimating time 5 - not getting rest

[@christianbatchelor5639]

Thank you 15 minutes that could have gotten to the point in 5 As an ADHDer this seems counterproductive

[@amypola5903]

Weed will make you underestimate time. At least thats what mice studies show.

[@ShamrockRagEll]

I realized, I like driving because I have to be in the moment. Otherwise I die, so focus isn’t negotiable. It’s so relieving. Doesn’t matter if it’s a long drive or to the supermarket. It never gets old for my brain and your video underscores it: it’s an active break for my adhd brain. Great videos🙏

[@tlingitgirl07]

I never thought about driving like that but its true!

[@Awholeadult]

Hey me too!

[@favianalatorre1836]

I love taking long or short drives. I never thought of it this way. Would driving be a good type of break like the breaks he's talking about?

[@EricCosner]

You are essentially an ADHD whisperer.... really enjoyed this one.

[@Meatloafandbeefsteak]

This has been my struggle my whole life, for 38 years and finally I've found someone to put words to how I feel, It's so incredibly liberating to hear that i'm not the only one that feels this way.

[@raymondjones4390]

I didn't learn truly about myself until I was 52! And it was such a relief. While I wish it could have been sooner, at least I learned! And yes, you are not alone!

[@NightsideOfParadise]

Self hatered that stems from this is intense. ADHD is a curse.

[@JoelByrd1]

But you can make it a superpower.

[@NightsideOfParadise]

@@JoelByrd1 True. If I have something that keeps stimulating me in succession, I will do it even if my hands are full of blisters. My hands are hard like construction workers hands but it's because of my projects. Still I would easily give 30 points of my iq to not have ADHD.

[@SweetPea-xf4xe]

It is to me. It ruined my life.

[@stum6070]

I like your video and your advise is spot on. I finally assigned my day into 3x8 hrs....8 to sleep is essential and 8 to domestic chores and self entertainment and the least important is work. Assigning more than 8 hours to work is stealing my own time from my self and health. It took LOTS of effort and ignoring anxiety to set this, but I advise this to all of ADHD gifted people

[@Ottilie-r5z]

I tried psilocybin-assisted therapy and saw significant improvement in my ADHD symptoms.

[@Russellmccoln]

Psilocybin promotes neural plasticity, rewiring the brain to improve focus.

[@bambi0607]

I’m in tears. There is so much that I can relate to that was said in this video : 👉🏻always feeling overwhelmed with all that needs to be done & and feeling paralyzed at times, not knowing where to start 👉🏻going for long periods of time without a break only to take mini electronic break that I think is a REAL break but it’s NOT 👉🏻Not setting time boundaries and continue working even late at night to please my boss & others- not knowing this is a self-esteem issue 👉🏻Lacking a good rest pattern because I’m all over the place I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I am sure (from what I’ve been learning ) that I have ADHD. 😞 Thank you for all the knowledge you shared in this video, particularly all the tools we can use to get back to LIFE and not feel so overwhelmed - which is exactly what I’ve been feeling for the past 2-3 years! Thank you!🙏🏻

[@poisonfortheweak]

Wow talk about a message with perfect timing. 3am I’m up wandering back and forth trying to accomplish a few of the countless little chores and projects on my todo list that always seems to increase more than it decreases. Cause it’s super easy to find things that I need to do or even just want to do… but the actual “doing” is the difficult part. I love the imagining the plans and thinking through the details of how I could do this or that… and then I try and see if I can think of a better or more efficient way. Then it just sits in my list until I force myself to do it or I just let it sit forever. I will not half ass it. If I do it I will do it right. Even if I don’t ever do it- because I always think of how much work it’s going to be to get my tools out, or how I’m tired and need to rest… or how I can just do it tomorrow probably; yeah tomorrow will work better. So yeah- been going in circles for the past 5 hours or something trying to get something significant done so I can feel good about checking it off. Instead, I’ve done 10 different things to 10%. I started with a pretty clean storage shed. Just needed to move some stuff around. Now it looks like a tornado came through and I can’t even walk around in there- and now it seems like such a daunting task that I don’t even want to do it anymore. Good thing I got started, so now I can tell myself I have to finish cleaning it out and putting everything back for the next 6-12 months. And you see where I am now - being productive on KZbin typing long comments so I don’t have to get going again. I haven’t even watched the video yet. So now I’m double distracted. Let me watch it and I sure hope it helps.

This video is excellent. Practical and compassionate. One of the things you mention that I have never thought about before is that negativity and negative/anxious thinking... is incredibly stimulating.

[@KifürKMUs-u1m]

Danke Nick! Never saw a better and more motivating video!

[@nottomclancy2439]

I study mechanical engineering. The workload is immense. I know that I am smart enough to do it, but always feel like I am behind everybody else and trying to work nonstop to overcome my "disability", which only leads to burnout and being overwhelmed all the time. Taking a break is like torture, because I have SO MUCH to do and to finish, but I also can't do it (right now), so I feel guilty for not doing the work and at the same time can't reap the benefits of the break. Today I slept 8h and after I got home I just slept for another ~3h because I am just absolutely spent. Like Bilbo would say: “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.” I thought that playing video games / watching a series / painting my warhammer minis in my break time is depleting me even more (because I focus so much on it! I thought I am supposed to take a break??), when in reality it is actually recharging. Or going full on in the gym (well, sometimes I am then just too tired to do anything afterwards...) Turns out: I don't really have trouble concentrating at all... I can be focused all day long, like I have an infinite pool of focus, but not on one thing only! Which is really bizarre, because hyperfocus makes you do just that! I thought that hyperfocus was something I needed to get into to get anything done, but afterwards I'd be completely spent... Sometimes even for days. I will take my fucking break now. Thanks for the video, let's see how your guide helps me in the future! You are really doing amazing work here, helping so many of your fellow ADHDers!! God bless you.

[@Thomas-rz5nt]

Hey man, I also study mechanical engineering and I feel the same way. It’s like a never ending circle of more assignments than I feel like I can keep up with. I know if I managed my time better I could get it all done easier but it feels like an impossible task and just drains the energy out of me so I can’t do anything else. It’s really awful and I agree that taking a break is so difficult because all I can focus on is that I’m not doing my homework. I was actually thinking of the same analogy a few days ago because I love The Lord of the Rings. However, to me playing games doesn’t even feel like recharging because I’m so anxious over the work I have to do. Now I don’t even have fun playing video games and basically use them as an escape from thinking about everything that stresses me out.

[@LateBloomingND]

Same here, I’m doing a bach in psych and honestly ADHD is kicking my butt. Building Lego sets is my thing but even that has become tiring or anxiety triggering because I know I should be working on my assignments. They are literally talking about assignment 2 and we are still on assignment 1! My brain is overloaded. I’m at the point where I’m wondering if I should just accept I’m disabled and quit, I’m so tired of fighting. Goodluck my friend ❤

[@danielonucin35]

This video got recommended to me and I really did not think it would make me cry. Realizing how different my brain works and that I just have not gotten the tools to deal with that and that there are ways has given me shivers. I am in a deep depression and have suicidal thoughts and I believe a lot of it is linked to these feeling of not being enough and not achieving as much as I feel I should. Thank you for the hope

[@jeski82]

This was honestly so relatable. I love my work because it's creative and I go super hard at it all day without breaks, but in the afternoon I start anticipating with dread the inevitable burnout even before I get to it. In the evening, I still have to do *something* creative so I watch youtube videos while doing various hobbies like sewing, colouring, doing a puzzle, etc etc. I take a med to sleep otherwise I'll stay up all night doing that. I have two main problems that are stopping me from taking breaks, even though I know I should. The main one is that I'm not actually employed, I'm looking for a job, and what I'm working on all day is projects for my portfolio. I do that more than applying for jobs because I want my portfolio to be as good as possible before I submit an application. I always underestimate the time I want to spend on a project before applying. There's always a time crunch because I really do need to get a job, it's a constant, but amorphous deadline. The second problem - one I'm not sure was addressed in this video - is my difficulty with task switching. I can be loving working on a project, then take a break to do something else like read a chapter of a book, but then find it super difficult to get back to the work I was enjoying so much just half an hour before. I tend to use force to get back to the work because I know I'll start enjoying it again shortly, but this doesn't always work and is the main reason I end up purposely not taking breaks at all. I'd love your advice on how to deal with perfectionist job hunting and managing the difficulties of task switching. (Sorry I took so long to get to the point 😅)

This is so dead on with what I struggle with. I am so bad that I never leave for work unless I am almost going to be late even when I am ready early. I end up driving 2 to 3 times faster than the speed limit to get to work on time. I know its the adrenalin rush its giving me yet I don't know how to correct it. This one part of this seems the easiest to change yet I keep doing it over and over and over.

I worked for 15 years a high paced job. Nursing on acute care medicine units. Constant I need pills, I’m in pain, I need the bathroom, the doctors, porters coming to send patient’s for tests, grab a crash cart patient is coding, doing CPR, etc it goes on and on and on. I thrived in this environment. I was severely injured 🤕 and unable to return to my job indefinitely. I was on full time disability for 7 years and went back took administrative program to get more skills as healthcare was transitioning from paper to electronic. I started back to work a year ago, a desk job. I’m lucky to physically be able to work 1 day a week. It is so painful. Not only physically (due to chronic pain) but mentally. It’s HORRIBLE. I hate that im trapped in my brain. My brain is go go go and my body can not keep up anymore. Sitting at that desk is literally like taking a pin and poking myself in the head. It’s SO bad…. 😫 I really need to get this into check. I’m impulsive and rush which leads to making mistakes and not learning the new role properly. I need to try some of these tips & tricks. I’m joining a ADHD workshop in November. Specifically for woman who were diagnosed late. (I found out age 36) it’s been a struggle. 🩵 Whoever needs to be reminded, you’re not alone!

It was painful waiting until 6 minutes to find out LOL However, every single “nail” you talked about is 100% on point! I am proud of myself that I didn’t fast forward & I practiced patience 🤣 Even before you got to the steps to take…I felt hope because I felt seen and understood myself more. Thank you!

This video feels extremely relatable but over the months of stumbling upon content like this I came to realize that the first half hooks you in, but then the second half which explains all the solutions is very hard to apply because it feels so generalized (and it has to be in order for the video to appeal to as many as possible). For me, I am lucky enough to not have much work to be that overwhelmed by, however at some point even free time hobbies can feel like work due to the subconsciously overachieving mindset, resulting in procrastinating on the activities I like and others may see as free time breaks. Thus it can make steps 2 to 4 much less relatable, because for most the examples seem too far fetched (due to living situations). What hits home the most is definitely step 5, which I was aware of before this video, but despite being aware remain to be unable to resolve it. Here's hoping this feedback is heard and eventually me and I am sure many others, find this last missing piece of the puzzle to finally find the fix.

Thanks for saving my life

I needed that thanks, nice video

Astonishing. Definitely I have this Nail 1 that I need often extra motivation to start a thing and then I can't stop. But I don’t see myself so much in the others. I have often doubts about my skill and stuff. But it isn’t tied to these episodes. I think I am less of an overachiever but struggle more to just get my work done. But in recent times I learned to get more control over my sleep schedule which gets me huge gains in every other domain of my life. Only my youtube is suffering as I can do that only in the morning hours before going to work. And if my body isn’t ready I learned to let go and use the time as buffer to get more sleep. But I believe once I am fully used I should be able to get up at 5 more frequently.

I've been in this trap for many years. This year has been the worst by far. I'm on the edge of losing it. I have an massive feeling of hopelessly. Every day is worse than the last.

[@RolaRola-k2e]

The content you provide is great I am studying human medicine, and I have suffered a lot from Adhd, and which caused me to fail in the second year, due to my inability to study for long periods like my friends, knowing that I was superior to them in school despite putting in much less effort than them, but the comparison now causes me anxiety and keeps me away from studying. Please. Please give me some advice because I don't know much about this disorder. I discovered that I had it last year

[@Nickname006]

I have no words. You have exposed me.
