i have short term and long term memory loss, how i keep anything in my head i will never know. Like my whole entire childhood boils down to like 10 memories and like none of them are good ones qmq
Her video has made me realize i might also have it, when in highschool i managed a 3.5 gpa, but after i got to college it fell apart, i couldn't focus in classes and i failed out, there's a lot more but i don't want to make this comment really long, i need to go get tested
Update, i talked to my mom about this last night and it turns out i was diagnosed as a child, they put me on Ritalin which apparently made me an asshole so they took me off of it, I'm amazed no one ever told me this
@@True105 Hopefully you can move forward now. Jaidens video got me to schedule an appointment and stuff to check myself out too. By me I mean my dad because I suck at booking stuff. Good luck.
Her talking about how it was easier in basic schooling but things got tougher in adulthood hit hard, I’m in process of getting my diagnosis and it’s exactly as she says. I used to be able to handle school pretty well, sometimes I’d ask to stay home to finish a paper or work but I usually had everything in and did well, well enough to be enrolled in a nursing course until oh god I could not handle it at all. I didn’t know I had even been tested for ADHD until I made quip while watching Big Bang Theory at the “my mother had me tested” joke asking my own if I’d been tested, I had in grade 2 but after some testing they figured I’d be fine minimal assistance, and I was, but then after high I lost those supports and just thought was a lazy failure of a person. I’m really thankful that I’m finally getting help at 28 and also that my mom has been supportive and advocating for me too, it’s hard going from self sufficiency to admitting you need help with basic things, I’ve cried from relief after almost all my appointments from not only having explanations but also having professional people believe me and say yeah your probably au and have ADHD, we’ll put you on the wait list fora psychiatrist.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and have since gotten better at dealing with it seeing people learning about it actually makes me happy because the more people learn about it the greater chances of someone catching it early and getting the help they need so they don’t struggle down the road and the public learning how our brains tick so they understand I don’t get distracted on purpose 😅
Its Jaiden's experience that finally convinced me that I might actually have ADHD. I'm currently getting diagnosed and after doing my own research, I'm 90% sure I have the combined type of ADHD. I've known my brother has been diagnosed the distracted type of ADHD and after talking with my mom, I suspect she does as well. Jaiden's experience was just way too similar to mine for me to not consider that my friends were right when they told me I had ADHD tendencies. If a diagnosis and subsequent treatment can help me break my executive dysfunction, I'm willing to try.
i’ve had this suspicion that i have adhd or add for a while now. it started with learning my best friend has adhd. then a few years pass and i look up symptoms for fun and think “huh i kinda relate to that, but that doesn’t mean i have it.” and then i see more and more adhd memes on my feed that i relate to. and then i watched ice cream sandwich’s videos. and when i watched jaiden’s video yesterday it was the tipping point. like i related to the majority of her experiences stated. so then i consulted my best friend again about the symptoms i related to, talked to my mom (who’s cool with it), and now i may or may not get diagnosed over summer :) what you said was true i think. if i actually do get diagnosed with it, then it’ll be a thing of like “OMFG IT ALL MAKES SENSE”
honestly i got my diagnosis after watching a youtuber who got their diagnosis. My younger sister had already been diagnosed and ive always known something wasnt right with me but i couldnt really figure out what. That video was what had me look into it and finally get mine. My older sister and niece went and got diagnosed too. now if i could just get my mother to do it, i have no doubt in my mind shes got some going on too.
I'm currently waiting on my test results for ADHD, but I've been peer-reviewed, so to speak, as an ADHD-haver by all my friends for years now. Also being autistic throws some wrenches into it because when asked about whether I struggle to remember things, I invariably said 'kinda, but I have a *system*". Yay for alarms to keep me on track, because otherwise time would be even harder to keep track of than it already is XD
I have ADHD to and when my medication eventually wore out I act like a 10 year old. I had so much trouble paying attention and struggled in Middle School.
im in the position where there's several things i suspect i might have, but haven't got a diagnosis for any of them 'cause i have anxiety disorder and also am a hypochondriac so like, even if i really do have something else it's insanely hard to spot amongst all the false flags my brain gives me 😅
I was blessed with combined ADHD and at least me forgetting things is justified. I take Adderall and two other prescribed medications for it. The phrase, "it can't grow legs and walk away" is completely invalid with how much we lose track of things (they very much can ) jaiden just wouldn't let you and take a drink with all the jokes 😂
oh god the memory (or lack there of) there was one point i was sure i was getting Alzheimer's but i eventually set myself right about that lol its still dogshit unfortunately (my childhood is like 10 memories, thats it) gotta love how my brain CLINGS to bad memories tho, like burrs on a dogs butt
I honestly think I am just like Jaiden I know I have formerly Asperger's now Autism and ADHD (I had a psychologist and psychiatrist tell me I had that and was on Delayed Release Adderall) I would literally I would spent days on remote where the only thing I did was lay on the couch in my apartment on my phone all day with the TV on. I got laid off so when I get a new job the first thing I will do with my shiny new employer-backed insurance is go to a psychologist
I think the main thing thats stopping me from trying to get diagnosed for something is that there's always a chance I don't have it and my brain is just pathetic and there's no reason other than it being my own fault and I just have to fix it myself. But also I hate being treated like a child and a lot of ppl I know would immediately start treating me like i am a child who needs help as if I am not very much independent
i got my diagnosis and my meds and i take them before going to work because i deal with very violent intrusive thoughts and the pills just make them less audible, i mean i still get distracted so it hasnt fully fixed my issue (i think i need a higher dosage but i keep going "meh"... i may ask for a higher dosage at my next visit) but im no longer swinging between extreme negative emotions (these thoughts only happen when im not mentally focused on something which is something my job doesnt require me to be, i can basically be on autopilot for most of it and my mind takes advantage of that). my younger sister already had her diagnosis before me but refuses to get the meds because of the negative stories shes heard about them, it has her paranoid. My older sister got tested after i did and now shes got her own meds as well as her daughter. Im STILL trying to convince my mom to go in and get a diagnosis.
If you could think your way out of it, or will your way out, you probably would have already by now. If you consider you might have it then best see someone about it who is knowledgeable enough on adhd (don’t go to any old therapist as some have view biased views). At the end of the day it’s based on symptoms. If you experience the symptoms, and there isn’t better explanations like iron deficiency or bipolar, then sweet welcome to the club. No one will give you a brain scan or blood test and say ‘see you actually don’t have it’ as this literally isn’t possible. Further, if someone says you don’t have it and they haven’t done clinical training and research on the subject plus clinically interviewed you over multiple session, then don’t listen to them as they don’t know what they are talking about (yes even family members, mine call me lazy still to this day smh)
But I think I have ADHD now I get distracted easily.Um very lazy to do normal stuff like just walking around the room, not having that much motivation to do stuff in life that will help me in the future and a lot more stuff that I sadly cannot remember. Oh yeah very organized, but I have not been that organized lately because I am very lazy to organize.. OK thank you for reading this lol
Any others have ADHD here in the Otaku Family?? Lol
@@RiXey900We out here. You should just get some help, fam. Truat me, it gets easier, even if a little.
Me lol ✋🏻😂. We also think I might be autistic but we don’t know yet. 🤔
i have autism and ADHD the combined type confirmed by 3 specialists
I have a mild case of it but I also feel like I have a touch of "the tism" possibly :O
I'm procrastinating getting diagnosed
I have ADD, ADHD, short term memory loss, and Autism; so it’s such a fun time! 😂😅 (I’m pretty sure I’m a combined ADHD type but I’m not 100%)
You most likely do, ADD and ADHD are now categorized under the same thing (ADHD)
ADD was never an Official therm to begin with. It was just a different way of saying ADHD - Inattentive type. That's all.
i have short term and long term memory loss, how i keep anything in my head i will never know. Like my whole entire childhood boils down to like 10 memories and like none of them are good ones qmq
Bro got everything 😭
@@dolphin_yee ikr! I’m the whole package 😂😝😉
The thumbnail was literally my thoughts “I am not surprised.” When I saw the vid lmao
I have adhd combined and this was one of the easiest thing to see coming
Her video has made me realize i might also have it, when in highschool i managed a 3.5 gpa, but after i got to college it fell apart, i couldn't focus in classes and i failed out, there's a lot more but i don't want to make this comment really long, i need to go get tested
Same! I'm waiting on my test results because I'm dangerously close to failing XD
Update, i talked to my mom about this last night and it turns out i was diagnosed as a child, they put me on Ritalin which apparently made me an asshole so they took me off of it, I'm amazed no one ever told me this

I got ADHD, OCD, and Autism, yippee
YiPPEEEE
SLAY 💅
😂 relatable. My mom, my doctors, and I think I might be autistic but we don’t know yet🤔
Didn't know I had ADHD before watching this video 😅
It's best to be diagnosed by a professional instead of self diagnose
I have ADHD, autism, Tourettes Syndrome, and food OCD.
Homie got the hit combo treatment.

I think that I have the innatentive type of ADHD. Not diagnosed, but I have all the same problems tho... 😅 (also autism)
I'm the exact same rn, and her video definitely enlightened me. Now let's see how long it'll take us to try and get diagnosed LOL
SAME ^^^ it's gonna take Ren 8 months as well 😂
Yep I was exactly like her too lol except her video made me realize I have a combined ADHD aka both types at the same time lol so yay me.....♡

ADHD and autism, clinical depression and ptsd. And adhd and autism are the hardest to manage:/
I got diagnosed as autistic when I was like 4, I think. So, pretty early.
I was blessed with combined ADHD and at least me forgetting things is justified. I take Adderall and two other prescribed medications for it.

I'm conbin ADHD even though my mom says no but I have a feeling like I do and I'm 100% autistic but I don't act like it
Been struggling for years with ADHD and have been trying med after med to find a solution and getting nothing.
I honestly think I am just like Jaiden I know I have formerly Asperger's now Autism and ADHD (I had a psychologist and psychiatrist tell me I had that and was on Delayed Release Adderall) I would literally I would spent days on remote where the only thing I did was lay on the couch in my apartment on my phone all day with the TV on. I got laid off so when I get a new job the first thing I will do with my shiny new employer-backed insurance is go to a psychologist
ADHD (and depression) gang
I suspect I have it, but it’s so expensive to get diagnosed, I just can’t afford to know.
If you're hyperactive, have trouble focusing or become easily hyperfocused or distracted is a high possiblity as well as having bad short term memory
