The horrible thing about ADHD is knowing that you have talent and are smart.
But not being able to fully apply any of it. You're literally trapped fighting against your mind.
i know i can do it (probably, mabe , good enougth for gov) ... so ... humm .... why bother .................
there is the anime.. the YT vid ... this ho look it's 5 am .... too bad too late let's mabe try tommorow ..............
As someone with ADHD who's going into college for biology, all these stories of similat people dropping out sounds like a inescapable prophecy.
Ur good I have it the trick is to align the job close to your interests I’m going for IT
Yeah, college was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I was diagnosed with ADHD my second year of college after failing several classes. The only reason I managed to get my degree was because I got medicated, and I loved the topics I was studying.
It was hilarious in her comments like
Jaiden: I have ADHD
Everyone of her fans with ADHD: We've known this for 7 years actually was just waiting for you to come out😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh man, I only got diagnosed like... last year, I think? I don't remember the exact year. Last year or the year before. I think it was two years ago... anyway. I saw the video title and I'm like "Yeah, that makes sense."
I was diagnosed with ADHD and this is on top of my Asperger's Syndrome which is high functioning autism and nobody would know unless I told them.
All the feelings she is mentioning I feel all the time especially with those little voices of doubt. I am obviously not say schizophrenia, but your imagination of other people saying you can't do (insert subject here) and this is coming from someone who graduated a speciality school and a valedictorian no less.
At this point for me, what helps is doing something with some affirmation from the right people and it keeps me going, but its always a struggle.
I too have asperger’s syndrome
Also, recently i found out that asperger’s syndrome isn’t used anymore because the guy it was named after was… a massive piece of shit who supported the “funny moustache guy” in the WW2
20:37 I’ve done similar in my fanfic writing. I go in to fix a typo in the draft while suffering from writer’s block, and then suddenly the entire chapter is done and published before I realize it.
oh shit i do this too XD i did this quite literally the other day in fact
@@gothic_ace2037 it’s the only way I get most chapters out, lol.
The entire way that I found out I actually had ADHD was by watching a youtube video of someone else who had a recent diagnosis (don't watch them anymore for personal reasons) and then them going over each symptom in turn going "oh I don't have this, that, or the other" and then later going "but if I look at them one by one, I don't but then there's this thing" and I was doing the EXACT same thing at the same time it was being mentioned, and it lined up so incredibly well, I immediately put getting a diagnosis on my to-do list. It took about half a year to get signed up, and then another half a year of medication to see if my anxiety and depression was the actual issue, which it wasn't, because it turns out, having severe untreated ADHD can cause anxiety and depression, who would have guessed?
I got some medication and it's not there yet, fully. I still... the struggle to do anything actually important is utter hell for me, but I have the person who diagnosed me working with me every step of the way- we check in every month to make sure it's working as needed, and we change things each time. We'll likely be changing the medication to a different type or a higher dosage this month, even. I don't know her plan, though.
Anyway, I bring all this up to say: I feel like you should not diagnose yourself with ADHD or Autism or whatever via a youtube video, because that can also get into the realm of looking at WebMD and finding out you have some super rare fatal illness because you aren't an actual medical professional and you don't KNOW this stuff... but using it as a kicking off point to discuss with a professional who studies this stuff for a living, who make it their mission to help people? That is what helps. That's where the real treatment begins. Just knowing you have something is one thing, having a doctor give you a piece of paper saying you have it is another, but working with a medical professional to get the treatment you personally need AFTER doing the other steps is very important.
TLDR; Don't diagnose yourself, but use any similarities you feel sufficient as a kicking off point to discuss with a professional to find what's right for you.
okay, 24:00 ish, I've never actually taken any instant release medication, I was put on the long term stuff, it legitimately took about a month to start feeling any notable changes, and closer to two months before it really felt like "Oh. I feel different." Another month and a half or so before I had my first day of "Wait.... is this what.... being NORMAL feels like? Like... I can just... get up and do stuff? I have energy, and motivation, and just... freedom to do things. Holy crap." Of course, that feeling only lasted like an hour or two that day, but it was wild.
I am a psych major, I wanted to continue to become a therapist after taking a few years to save up for the masters and doctorate I need, and I know a fair amount about how humans work and function. One of my pet pieves has been like what Kip said, those people who self diagnose. I am pretty sure I have a mild amount of ADD, maybe even on the diagnosable spectrum. But I know enough to know I can't diagnose myself with that. I can suspect it, and have tried to incorporate some of the strategies people with ADHD use to cope with their life, but I don't go around saying I have it. Because it isn't my place to say that. It isn't something you can just, say you have. Because it then becomes like a badge, rather than a disorder. (This also goes with other things in my opinion, but that might be a little too political)
But I still just say, find the things that work for you. That meds might not be the thing you need, or want. (I take Vyvanse as a way to help control my appetite, it is also one of the main drugs used for treating ADHD, and have noticed a big difference in what I have suspected to be ADHD symptoms. So when I can finally get on my new job's health insurance, I plan to one day get a proper diagnosis. But I know it could also just be my brain begining its development into an adult brain in truth. Yay for male brains developing completely in their mid twenties....
Didn't ADHD and ADD merge recently. I was diagnosed with ADD, but have been calling it ADHD since I had the impression that they had merged together. It's similar to sociopathy and psychopathy, who are now together known as anti social personality disorder(at least that's what I've seen around).
@@mikkitoro8933 they are usually used to refer to the same types of behaviors, but ADD is the lack of Hyperactive, the H, with the other symptoms being present. It is probably similar to the idea that a square is a rectangle but not the other way around
speaking of meds ... eons ago .. i was prescribed "DEXEMPHATAMINE" .... yeah ... no it didn't do that much asside from mess with my memories
and if the wind is just right i can fly , or so i will swear to this day knowing that it's obviously nonsense
(hence my hatred of drugs )
Learning I had ADHD way back in my 20's was cathartic. Seeing the difference with meds was amazing... then my other genetic quirks kicked in and I started getting resistant to it and the docs had to take me off meds before long because the required dose was getting too high. But knowing what I had still gave me a jumping off point to find ways to deal with it. External structures, building habits, 'gamifying' tasks for immediate feedback/reward, they've all helped. Also as she mentions in the video it helps enormously with avoiding harmful self-recriminations when you know what the problem is and it's just a disability with a few benefits you're left trying to min-max for life rather than some personal or moral failing of laziness or whatever.
therapist can't change medication on their own, but can talk things out, psychiatrist can talk things out and change meds, but is much more expensive, psychologist can adjust/prescribe meds, and can talk, but requires a second mortgage if you take 2 extra minutes after your time slot ends. (my experience at least lol)
11:24 almost the same for me. The analyst for determining if i was on spectrum literally looked at both me and my mom, and more or less said: I can't technically diagnose you being autistic due to not meeting the requirements, you were off by two markers. But you definitely have tendencies that match autism. If it weren't that aspergers syndrome was merged into ASD, I would diagnose you with that.
Literally two points. So that was fun, and, in hindsight, kinda funny.
As someone with ADHD, I can relate
I have a very peculiar mix of neurodivergens. ADHD (diagnosed when i was still in school and beeing bullied all the time) and aphantasia (not beeing able to see pictures/memorys/hear sounds of any kind in my mind) and on top of that i have zero inner monolog. So my brain is in overdrive...and i cant see/hear anything of it. I live in the moment,because that is all i´ve got. Part of me is scared of what it would be like to peek into the chaos of my noggin.
My mom and I have adhd and I feel bad for my dad sometimes bc he's just a normal guy having to deal with us lol. I have a lot of fun stories about my adhd and school work and other stuff it's a wild ride.
I wasn't entirely perfect in high school. But I wasn't horrible either, it was technically the school's system's fault for me failing some classes due to being disabled.
But, the whole total burn out as an adult, when you had so much energy as a kid. Is really accurate.
Honestly, this video is just... Alright I don't know how to put it in words... But as some one who suspects they have adhd or autism (maybe both maybe neither who knows honestly)... Listening to these stories... It really is pushing me to get it diagnosed (I've been contemplating it for like almost an year now?)... Just the fact that jaiden said she finally was able to stop the voices in her head and not get too... How should i say it... Sidetracked (?) by her brain constantly doing back flips on the decision is very much an compelling argument for me to get my meds and diagnosis done... As someone who's pretty much on the fence about it and bordering on dropping out of college just cause my brain doesn't work like it used... Is just... Yeah... Great video tho
I remember while growing up i always struggled to start doing very basic tasks. I remember sometimes at school, the lessons were so boring that i would feel dizzy and in physical pain, but i just had to endure it and sit there. Even now i struggle to just sit at my desk and start editing, something that i CHOSE to do and was not imposed on me.
Sometimes i hear people telling how they can just work on stuff with music or a video in the background. Something that is impossible for me to do, it's too distracting.
Yes i partly blame you Kip for my procrastinating, damn you and your daily uploads **shaking fist** lol.
At times it takes me hours to fall asleep because i can't stop thinking about random stuff.
A few month ago i was talking to my parents about this, because i heard about ADHD before and now i wanted to know their opinion and what they remember. They told me that even my teachers thought there was something wrong with my behavior, but they were not sure. In the end they did nothing about it, told me nothing about it.
I think that the only reason i don't struggle to hold a job it's because i'm a metalworker. It doesn't require you to really focus on a task, so i can just work on something and have constant random thoughts, or power metal songs playing on repeat in the back of my head lol.
Maybe watching this video a few more times will finally push me to consult a doctor and get an answer XD
OMFG the autism stat distribution absolutely kills me xD.
I must've dumped most of my points into luck and the rest into intelligence, tho the intelligence is situational, because my mum says I'm the human equivalent of a stereotypical orange cat with so much certainly and love lol.
lol i did the opposite, i dumped it all into intelligence and im lucky im still breathing
16:06 psychology CAN prescribe medications so long as they've done pharmacological certification similar to a registered nurse who can prescribe pain killers and antibiotics. Base psycologists can't but it's like an extra semester or something to prescribe.
20:46
Gonna chime in on this one. I know there are some habits and otherwise I do that has plenty to do with my autism and learning disability. And yes, I do make clear a lot of those habits and actions are due to that.
BUT. I don't do this as a crutch or excuse for my actions. I do it so people can understand and act appropriately. Cause if you go about things the wrong way with someone like that, it can lead to a negative result. Like how my parents who didn't understand autism, they thought of they punished me enough, I would stop acting this way. Obviously it didn't work. Once they better understood it, they could act in a way that can lead to a positive result.
And this is why I explain this sort of thing to those who might not know. Both so they are more understanding, but can also act in the appropriate way in response to my actions. Never will I use my autism or disabilities as a crutch.
So I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 4, and they said that I was borderline autistic, but I was very high functioning. I wonder if I would qualify as autistic now with advances in testing and stuff. It was also pretty rough that through my childhood the schools in my district didn’t classify ADHD as having an effect on my schoolwork and stuff. I have the combined ADHD, so school, especially high school was rough
Doing a small task to get motivation to do a bigger task. I have heard a psy-something describe it as " momentum". Which makes soooo much sense to me.
Oh also ADHD can also lead to depression and anxiety when it goes untreated.
How is every single bit of Jaiden's story 100% relatable? Like, I too was a good student, and yet, when college started to rear its ugly head, suddenly my entire life took a downward spiral. I will probably never be on medication because "Therapy should be good enough to not get our child to be on drugs for the rest of *his* life and be a zombie" (another thing too, I absolutely hate he/him pronouns on me with a passion but I will not do anything against my parents so there's that), so I will probably never relate to that. Or could I? Since I am an adult, I could just simply ask for the correct medication from a doctor. Hmm, maybe something for me to consider. Then again, maybe medication is just something I do not actually need. I do not know, but I would not mind having it in my back pocket in case a day gets really, stupidly bad.
I plan on being the first ever UA-camr who is not a college dropout who got semi-famous across the internet for creative, and personal qualifications before ending up in a job that I am just trying to squeeze every penny out of until I inevitably have to bounce around from job to job just so that I can continue the cycle of squeezing out enough money to jumpstart my own creative business before growing that business, expanding it, and single-handedly creating a titan that can rival major corporations like Disney and Nintendo which would probably end up becoming old zombies lets be real before I soundly put them in their graves. Then promptly chucking out every single finished product into the public domain and then retiring, hopefully, at age 50 or so.
Honestly, yeah. If I could go on Nerd Rants, I would, and I would for hours on end and I would be 1000% happy doing so. I could just talk everyone's ears off about every single one of my special interests and I have no one to talk to in my life about them because everyone else either just really, badly doesn't get what I'm saying or have no interest in what I have to say. Either way, they also cannot be bothered to sit down and listen out of interest, respect, and time. People in my life just do not care or do not understand and cannot be bothered to understand or care, and that's entirely fair, my interests are honestly very far out from mainstream interests and my perspectives can be seen as a bit schizophrenic, but I can adapt and become more lucid and calmed down as the conversation progresses and the other person is eager and respectful enough to listen. I just need to be given a chance with things, you know? I'm honestly feeling better now that I have typed this comment out, but in situations where I'm feeling like complete and utter shit, I can say stuff that, looking back, makes no sense to me and seem far too unhinged and angry for me to agree with. Like I was just tipped over the edge with some things for no good reason.
I am not from your generation nor Jaiden, I was like a 10-year-old kid when Jaiden first made her first animation storytimes, and yet, whenever I hear people like her talk, put music on, or really do anything from their generation, I vibe hard with it. My parents exposed me to a lot of old media, and now I wish I could've gone older and seen a lot of the vintage, retro stuff. You know, really grow up with things. But hey, at least as long as media preservation and online accessibility are a thing, I should be a-ok, and anyway, people can always tell other people things and then make things based off of the older stuff, the old stuff isn't going away anytime soon. I'm even playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake on the Nintendo Switch right now as I am typing this comment out (I LOVE THE STYLISH MOVES AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE COMBAT SYSTEM, DEAR GOD WHY DID INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS SWITCH IT UP?!).
Honestly, the thing that I am most scared of Medication for would be like it is one of those cartoons where a character completely forgets who they are and are manipulated by the bad guys into fighting the heroes or something like that. Like, medication would just Partygoer or do some kind of SCP kind of thing to me, and come to find out no? Medication does not drastically change your whole sense of self in a snap? This is just wild to me, like I have watched horrifying horror clips of shows like Doctor Who, and Star Trek, and just things that would make people be afraid. Evil space aliens from out of space that just infect your mind, lay eggs within you, or whatever. However, come to find out, you do not go from having a serious, no-nonsense personality to constantly thinking about sex and being a bimbo for the rest of your life in a flash and I just. That does not happen? HOW?! How does THAT make any sense? On the one hand, I am grateful that reality and nature are a lot more merciful than I have given them credit for, but on the other hand, then all that happens with medication is that you receive pieces of things into your system that just do their job within your body? Like that's what medication is? Why didn't anybody tell me this?!
All I'll say is that most actual diagnoses start with self-diagnosis, followed by an attempt to seek confirmation. Self diagnosis isn't inherently bad, unless you don't follow up with a professional.
This is just because a lot of people don't have the cash lying around to just raw dog a doctor's appointment like that.
Anyone else find it interesting that we noticed that she had ADHD before _she_ did, but didn’t realize that it _was_ ADHD and just thought her personality was entertaining?
There's many people and creators who I suspect are neurodivergent. I just don't talk about it or point it out. All that matters is the individual in question and what they do and learn about themselves.
Besides, you can tell someone they're neurodivergent all day. Until they hit a point in their life and take in certain information, they won't believe you
in discord that box on the top right is your inbox and it lets you look at unread messages all in one place, which for me is Easier than hunting down individual messages across multiple servers
You do SCA??
Awesome! My parents did that when I was little, it's really cool!
I watched this Jaiden video and went "oh no.... this sounds way too familiar"
My thing is, even if I got diagnosed, it doesn't change my issues. It's just a label for me problems. I still have trouble dealing with the stress of doing simple things like calling people and setting up appointments.
I remember discovering I had Autism after starting college, I already knew I had ADHD; although it was kinda funny how I came to this realization.
I was watching a video in a series called ‘Transformers The Basics’ (they pretty much explain all general knowledge on different characters/topics in the Transformers franchise) and this particular video was on a character was named Transmutate, then when I got the part about the Beast Wars Uprising version of the character(who was to have a Cybertronian equivalent to autism) I was just thinking: ‘this seems a bit…too familiar’.
3:49 "why don't you learn coding" i did, 3 times, did really well in the classes promptly forgot it because it was boring as hell and I realized you can cribb almost every script you need and debugging is thenactual biggest part of coding. And debugged effing suuuuuuuuuuuuck., i would rather drag my musty beanbag throw a leach infested swamp then stare at coding for hours as my half autistic ass picks out the errors of a few thousand lines of code. That's why i didn't keep working as a web developer.
I was diagnosed in 3rd or 4th grade… and mom refused to to put me on Ritalin…I grew up drinking a cup of coffee before school. I still drink it black and ice cold
26:00 "I won't let you enjoy a second of your life until you do the thing" thats fine we can blth sit here thinkong life suck, don't you think I won't brain.
I'm a college dropout with ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. I'm also working on opening my own small business.
21:27 I'm just taking a shot in the dark, but that to me sounds like a 'cry' out for help..
Support isn't great nation wide.
Particularly for us in that "best of both worlds"
But I'm definitely always open to being educated with supportive arguments/sources.
I'd rather be corrected over being mocked being called dumb without being told why...
Normal people make little sense to me in the first place but I get by with them, but then you add Internet Troglodytes.. People man. Can't live with them, Can't live without them..
😅
0_0).....writing with breaks took me two hours.....I'm not meticated...and it's 30 page essays with a minimum of 10 sources needing to be included in the paper, not sound AI assisted, fix grammerlies mistakes it tryd to make correcting my mistakes. Then thiers the fact I had to make a whole three act movie but only get one act out into the physical wourld and placed in a trailer for a film class......my adhd is wierd.... I've bean told medication has bean tryd on me but made me oh so flipen tierd to the point I couldent do eanything. So have not bean medicated since pre-school/Kindergarten.
I feel like I'm in that strange part of the line diagram of ADHD that mainly hinders the whant to do stuff, atention span, qnd augments the emotional spectrum of my self and perspective of others.
In other wourds...I'm a nerd who has a hard time being a nerd and is self aware of it as he has full conversations with himself about it in the old noodle to vent about it till they slowly start to sound like charecters from tv shows who had a similar experience....like the ORIGINAL shagy Roger's from the older cartoons of Scooby-Doo
yeah .... ouch ... i know it took me SEVEN YEARS to make a mod that should have taken me all of a long weekend ....................
i'm supposed to make tutorial vid for a game .... i realy want to ...........i .... man .......... i'm burned out from LIFE !!!
mood
I have both
I also have inattentive adhd, and hoo boy let me tell ya how difficult it is to revise for exams
Edit: Also i did not know you also had autism until this video
10:43 do you have adhd? Or did you walk through one of the many rectangular neuraliers we all have in our house thats been shown scientifically to make our brains work like an etch e sketch.
I have combined ADHD it’s not fun
Fun Fact: In Europe adderall is illegal as it is (if I recall correctly) considered a narcotic
I have to disagree with you there kip. There's no spectrum. I've seen enough of the self diagnose quizzes that just being baseline human is your on "the spectrum". People just throw out correlation is not causation when you self diagnose.
Do you have a citation on this?
I can pull up a number of medical articles and sources that explain neurodivergency as a spectrum.There isn't just, "Autism on, autism off." There's so much in between.
