    the moment I wake up, I feel the existential crisis. every time I see a thin person, every time I do an action, every time I see a feelgood video - my mind either forces me to imagine negative like something bad happening with the people involved in the video or the existential crisis thing. everything seems pointless. once a bright student, now working in logistics at the bottom of the hierarchy for livelihood. my father died 10 months ago and i haven't cried once nor do I feel anything about it. but quite often I am constantly flooded with the thoughts of this fact that I haven't cried or felt anything about the death of a person who sacrificed everything for me. living as though yesterday didnt exist and tomorrow doesnt exist. this moment passes. cant find the words to say that i want to say. i dont know. \ pls make a video about this.

If you've got a lot or if you're in a life or job situation that doesn't value your skills, you will d better with medication. I mean medication will make life easier, faster and with less effort. You will struggle more without medication.

    • @terrygingras6169
      @terrygingras6169 6 місяців тому

      I can't diagnose you on the internet, but the symptoms involve a combination of hyperactivity and executive functioning deficits. Adults are typically not overly hyper although they may be fidgety and impulsive.The major executive dysfunction is difficulty with working memory which involves losing the information for immediate action that we try to store in memory., eg buy batteries on the way to work. There are also problems time-both sense of time passage and time management: organization and planning problem; difficulties regulating emotions: planning and adaptive thinking.These are hard to self-evaluate, so best bet is getting an evaluation from a medical professional who is familiar with ADHD, most likely a psychologist.

I wonder how many of us older individuals are like me? The medication "try outs" are really annoying but I know it has to be done. I guess we all would just like a magic wand to be cured.... Lol! But you are right! I always thought that I was stupid and something was wrong with me. Retirement made me realize something not right was going on.

    the main reason its so hard to convince these people that their views on the world are incorrect through therapy or conversion isn't just because they see you as The Man and or a brainwashed sheep and or their contrarian by nature its also because your sitting there and saying things to them that directly contradict their lived experience they have to choose to believe what your saying over believing their own lived experience and pattern recognition. It's like trying to tell someone that "actually gravity doesn't exist" when they have lived their whole life experiencing gravity's pull. the longer someone is one of these alienated people with adhd the more times this world view is affirmed and the more negative that world view becomes due to the escalation of both: their behavior and the society's reaction to that behavior ie going from getting in trouble with the school and parents for not completing homework on time ect to getting arrested for drug possession ect. essentially they have spent more time more acutely aware of gravity. dint mean for that gravity analogy to be poetic or melodramatic like that. It was just the first thing that popped into my mind as a comparison, what's a thing you know to work a certain way through lived experience? gravity. kind of a bad analogy because gravity is something people believe is real due to more than just lived experience but you get what I mean, its a contradiction of something that just feels like a fundamental law of society the way gravity feels like a fundamental law of reality even without scientific explanation.

    Thank you for the talk! I have heard a very important think about supporting your child at what they are good at. Sounds very logical but we have got the advise from the psychologist who assessed our daughter to limit her drama/theatre classes (which is really her passion!) and add more physical activities. My gut feeling is that on the contrary I want to support those activities becausey daughters potential there is very high. I am trying me best to add some sports activities but it’s true that it’s not much simply because there is no time for it😕

    Hello, Doctor, many thanks for the video! A question: you say “get diagnosed early” but when actually you should go get diagnosed? We have 11 yo daughter with ADHD and we have also 2 boys. Every now and then we see the signs at boys that could be interpreted as ADHD symptoms and we know that the chance that siblings have it are quite high if one has it, right? We are very open and already quite educated about it but we want to understand what are the reasons/signs that we definitely need to go for the assessment? One of the reason we don’t rush for it- we live in UAE and only private hospitals are available for us. We don’t have opportunity to get diagnosed in our home countries. And the prices for the mental health assessments here are seriously mental 🙈🥺 we have gone through so much with our daughter, she was diagnosed negative the first time, and then she got 2 times negative reports of ASD and now she is being diagnosed again and we have the feeling she will get it. I am not sure if this is about the professionalism or if we are particarly lucky family but as per our experience even getting the diagnosis is not a straight path and could require so much time and financial resources.

You've got to learn to catch those negative thoughts and counter them with a more positive thoughts.further ADHDers responder really well to positivity and not well at all to criticism. Eventually you'll have to be able to forgive those that criticized you and scarred you, but that's not your immediate task. Keep in touch.

    It’s great to hear about the strength of ADHD-ers! When everyone’s focus is on struggles and issues, I believe if we want to go out of the 70 criticizing comments a day spiral, it’s better to concentrate on the positives, strength, so we have the opportunity to add some positive parenting here! So thank you for the video! And I also wanted to ask your take on our situation. Our 11 yo daughter (an ADHD kid) is a great performer. It’s really her passion, and also she is really great at it (for the 3rd year she’s been participating in the local festivals, she was even invited to talk on radio..). She is doing classes 5-6 hours a week. The constant discussion between me and my husband is whether its too much and we should balance it with sport activities (which she is also doing weekly but less than the drama activities). Followed by the advise of the psychologist who diagnosted our daughter, my husband suggests we take an executive decision as we know better as parents what’s best for her. I have a mother feeling that tells me that I need to support my daughters passion so we are in disagreement here. The reason we even talk about it - her emotional dysregulation is very disturbing and so we are constantly questioning, what are we doing wrong/how to help her?..

    My 3 year old daughters temper tantrums and meltdowns are so frequent and intense. They started about 1. She has always been extremely difficult to settle to sleep. Was a colic baby. Remains fussy and disagreeable. Can be very defiant, refuse to get in the car seat etc and for the last 3 weeks has been point blank refusing to get dressed. She is also very intelligent, creative and articulate. Her father displays all of the adult adhd symptoms and scored high on a self screening test and is going to follow up with a dr, his twin sister has an adult adhd diagnosis...i know there can be a genetic link. I am not sure what to do about my daughter given she is still quite little, but what we go through at home with her behaviour seems more intense than what is typical. She is also super energetic and always has been. Constant blur of movement, does not sit still, always talking, always on the go (and she was like that since she was a baby, also early to crawl and walk). I asked her kindergarten teachers about her behaviour when with them - they had told me in person she often has emotional ups and downs but when I reached out recently they said she was progressing well and they have no major concerns so I am not sure whether to see a Dr or not. Maybe she is masking at kindygarten and unleashes more at home after keeping a lot of stuff bottled up...not sure whether to see a dr or wait until she is older, some people think wait until older because a lot of the behaviours are thought to be normal for this age group. I have a 9 month old baby too. Great video detailing ADHD.

      Generally the younger the child, the less accurate the diagnosis. It is also difficult to find a good provider who will evaluate a child that young. In my private practice I never evaluated anyone younger than 6. Also given that her behavior has improve at kindergarten means she may improve at home. You sound like you're very busy at home and probably have some early sibling rivalry going on. Just relax,Mom. You've still got time.

As parents of an ADHD girl but also other 2 neurotipical kids we can really relate to that! But we struggle a lot to explain to our younger sons why our daughter should be allowed to have certain privileges. We also tried to talk to them to convince them not to disturb her because she tends to be overreacting about everything. At one point our youngest (and cheekiest!) son said he thinks he might have hdhd (or whatever the name is..) as well so please leave him alone and let him jump on the couch during diner time, “he needs it”.. It seems like ADHD awareness campaign in our family has gone wrong🤦🏻‍♀️ any advise on how to explain to the neurotypical siblings about ADHD and why those kids should be treated differently?
