Really excited for this one guys! In this video I talk about how I knew I had adhd, how I got diagnosed, what my medication journey was like and how I learned to start using adhd to my advantage.

You've helped me out a lot I'm not sure if you've came across that yet but you should do some research on MCT oil it's been helping me out a lot and it's like rocket fuel it really stimulates you and helps you think for hours without any serious side effects the only one that I really came across is upset stomach but that's just as simple as starting off with a little and upping your dose to a tablespoon gradually over time
I gave been diagnosed at 44 but I am stuck in a negative feedback loop in real life. I can relate to everything you say. Thank you very much for what you are doing. We are caring people who can give the world so much more if they would just try to understand us more. Like you said. We see the world differently and if you do not have ADHD, you will never understand. Good luck with your channel, my friend. ❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌
P.S. If you would like to know more about an adult being diagnosed late in life and how undiagnosed ADHD can ruin your life, you are welcome to contact me. I feel there is much I can share. Especially also living in one of the most corrupt 3rd world countries in the world and how that can destroy a person's self-confidence.
I split my Vyvanse. I take 1/3 when I wake up, 1/3 two hours later and then three hours after that I take the last 1/3. That’s 70mg spread out over 7 hours instead of all at once.
When I took an entire Vyvanse capsule, I’d get overwhelmed. “Splitting” my Vyvanse eliminated that.
I also take 3 drops of Ananda Hemp Full Spectrum 2000 CBD oil about an hour after my first Vyvanse 1/3.
The Vyvanse helps me get stuff done and the CBD keeps away anxiousness.
I also do 60+ minutes on the elliptical 6-7 days a week while mixing in some very light weight training. Exercise is a must for a healthy brain... and body.
Was having a really tough time last year, and your meditation videos have helped me learn to calm myself, before thoughts spiral. So glad I found your channel!
🙏
Thank you so much for telling your story. I just found this diagnosis on Tuesday and the more I learn about it the deeper I can breathe. I always asked what is wrong with me, that has been my narrative since I can remember. So much self hatred for not being "Normal" explained. I am blessed to now understand that I don't have to keep trying to shove a square peg in a round hole. I am thankful for the new resources I now have to function the way I can show my strengths. Terrifying but so excited about my new journey.
🙏
You got a damn good voice dude. You should be a dubbing artist or something.
Thanks bro!:D
Another great video! I loved your analogy of Bradley Cooper in limitless during your tax law class! I went back to University as a mature student, it was during a monotonous project (and weeks of trying every angle to engage myself in it) that I realize I needed a diagnosis and accommodation. I was fortunate to have understanding from my profs without a diagnosis (diagnosis came later) and I was able to find a role that played to my strengths instead, engaging with people not admin tasks. I was in Social Work so there was a lot more flexibility. I started writing this comment after you described your university experience. Congratulations in your achievements, and at the time of this video, i realize this was 2 years ago now! Amazing work! Your story IS an inspiration!
Hi I like your TikTok and UA-cam videos there really good I have ADHD your videos helping me your very helpful and your amazing keep up the good work 😃😃👍👍
Thank you!
Love the reveal!! Keep doing what you!! You are helping so many people :)
Great information. I just recently realized this is what I've had all along and the reason for so many ups and downs in my life and its been like a breath of fresh air to know what was behind it all. Your videos, explanations and meditation have been a huge help to calm myself down and learn more on why my brain works the way it does.
Congrats on the 10K and the reveal! I listen to your 10 minute meditation almost every day and its a game changer....keep up the good work!
Thank you! Very glad to hear the meditation is helping you out
Loved it! You are something refreshing in the Adhd world for us. Looking forward to your videos. Would like to know more about sales job. Maybe do a day in the life.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion :)
I needed this
thank you for all your help
🙏
Amazing!!! Thankyou!!!
definitely inspiring!
Thanks Daniel!
Omg our stories are so look a like. My uni years were the best of my life because i was doing something that i really enjoyed “Biomedical science”
Oh I can relate... got diagnosed at 41 years old and now that I know what it is I am struggling trying to figure out how to overcome it... but at least I know what to tackle.
thank you foe sharing your story i was diagnosed late of 2023 and i had the same ideas about " oh wow that is way i was acting the way i was
Dude idk if it makes sense but I’m still in the phase of dragging myself thru school I’m in university and it’s been my first year and I’ve already failed multiple courses and the only real reason because I hate it all I can’t study without
Losing focus into other things and now I’m here working to fix my mistakes of not even paying attention to courses I hate
Everything after school/uni gets easier for us. My Advice? Keep your head up and look toward the promising future!
Congratulations on your 10,000!🎉
For being ADHA, I don’t understand why there is music in almost ALL your videos. 😖I can’t focus on what you’re saying. That techno repetitive beat… guess it’s just me since no one else is distracted. Good luck, I can’t stay. 😢
I agree with you 🙈
Cool, new channel I didn't know about! I was diagnosed in my 30s after being broke, divorced, and earning minimum wage.
Im in my 30s and asking my doctor about a possible diagnosis, how did you find it in your 30s? I hope your well
@@surrealisticbigbeard Hi! I had never considered it. I just had some friends who had it and that gave me the idea. I actually have a video from last month where I talk about the diagnosis process and the things I wish someone had told me before going through it.
In your video you said, "can you not start what you finish". I don't know about you but I am finding that I am a little dyslexic as well.
😂....
Totally true!! Love it!❤
Let me just say, You are very very lucky to have your therapy to tell you to see an ADHD doctor after only 2 sessions…. I have been trouble shooting my life for 10 yrs and being treated for depression and anxiety until my 3rd therapist finally suggested that I may have adult ADHD after one year of working with me (I’m in my early 30s now). And that is only because he also has adult adhd….sooooooo many adults get treated for depression/anxiety for long term without knowing that ADHD was the root cause to how they are not able to manage life like nerotypical ppl
I also have recently been diagnosed with ADD. However I feel like I do not have the positive sides that you describe. I feel my creativity does not come out because my head is too full of stuff. I also do not feel energized and motivated even for stuff I like and especially not for stuff that are scary because I am already too anxious and nervous for normal things in life like meetings for school. I feel like I only have the negative sides and not the positive sides of ADD and do not really know what to do
Nice
Is it possible to have German subtitle for your videos? So I can share with friend. Thank you
Did you try adderall to see if that worked better? My only side effect is sleeping less, but I used to sleep 7-9 hours! I'm happy with 5-7.
How does one get ahold of some medication in lockdown (in the UK)?
I don't have time to waste talking to some therapist I just want to make it through the last few months of uni.
You can speak to your GP and they will refer you to a phsychiatrist who can diagnose you and give you meds. You can do it all online by phone calls and skype in lockdown. Hope this helps
@@ellis9226 thank you so much
Nice video
Grüße aus Groß-Gerau
Danke dir!
Nick, i Love your Channel and especially meditate daily with your guides.
I even do well without medication during online school.
What I wanted to ask you is which title has the song from you hunter and gatherer theory because I really want to learn the guitar riff. :)
There are other adhd medications
Great content, but I can’t concentrate to listen to him when that bad music runs in the background…😂. Sorry had to stop after 7 min, because of the music
I unsubscribed after the face reveal because it is hard to take attractive people seriously.
;)
