The hardest part is always thinking about how much you could have accomplished if you had known how to deal with it back then. 😫
Isn't that the absolute truth 😫.
So true
That is so true.
Very true
They say there is a sense of grief once you find out you have it. You grieve for the person you realize could have been if you had known earlier. So most of the initial parts of ADHD as an adult is going through your own grief before you get to the other side.
The most heartbreaking part of having ADHD is that people who aren’t experiencing this think we are just using it as an excuse.
My sister always tries to normalise it by saying “everyone struggles with that, no one wants to do housework “ etc etc .. this is just minimising our struggles and makes me so upset 😭
Love you jonnie
You’re not alone… I have the same problem. Unfortunately ADHD is a “illness” of this generation (in the sense of it wasn’t much known say 20yrs ago) so most people do not understand what it entails and that you’re not just… lazy.
😮❤
Bro this is how I feel lol.
As a therapist I am going to share this with my clients to help them better understand themselves. ❤ The way you break it down and explain point by point is AMAZING! And fyi, I’m a whole mental health therapist therapist without a high school diploma. You have a high IQ and a lack of diploma doesn’t define your intelligence. You amaze me every single day!
I assumed you’d need a degree to become a therapist. I’d love some info on how you did it that’s amazing!
@@Viewsfrominsid3 Master’s Degree and a license to practice in your state ❤️❤️❤️
But how do you go to college without a diploma?
@Cierra J @ Home Yes, I got my G.E.D. Thanks friend ❤️❤️❤️
GED (also known as High School Equivalency Diploma) is considered the equivalent to a High school diploma. Which is why you can go to college and get a job with it. That exam is not easy and it is still an accomplishment to be proud of. So you do have a diploma and congratulations on your achievement (s) and success
I went through school with dyslexia without knowing it. I thought I hated reading but really it was hard for me just to get through a paragraph because of dyslexia. I really hate that grades are what determine your intelligence in school. I wish there were other ways to encourage kids/people in general that they were enough, and encourage them in what they excel in naturally.
Amen it really should be my son has ADHD he’s grown now but struggled in school 😩
Jeannie, you are proof that we don't need the "typical" high school and college experience to make it. You are doing better than most w/ degrees. But as someone who can relate to not finishing things in the expected timeframe, try to go back and take the GED exam so that isn't hanging over your head. And I say that b/c your teared up when you mentioned not finishing, which usually means you have deep regret over it. Go ahead& knock out the exam b/c you can do it & it will no longer be an unturned stone in your life. Best wishes!🥰
That’s exactly what I had to do when I started my bachelors it took me 8 years and 2 degrees later to get that final one :)
Fabulous video ❤
I was just diagnosed with ADHD last month. Life started to make alot of sense
Fellow ADHD sister here! 🙋🏻♀️ I got diagnosed about a month ago at age 34. Suddenly, everything made sense. I'm damn proud of myself for making it this far without knowing I had it. I am hopeful for the future now that it's being treated and I'm learning to work and live with it.
I literally just finished University with ADHD and as you could imagine it was a struggle. In a world where everyone passively claims to have adhd, its really nice to hear your story. Because if you really got it, you know whats up. We know what you're talking about. From frustration (and literal anger), to forgetfulness, to literally staring at the periodic table with tears because your brain doesn't know wtf its looking at. The girls that get it, get it. I'd LOVE some more mom-ing with adhd content from you because im genuinely terrified, something tells me you could once relate to the fear
I’m 40 this year and I’m starting to believe that half of my issues with work, school, relationships is because I have ADHD. Jeannie was describing me perfectly.
I was diagnosed with ADD at 21. It was life changing. Everything started to make sense to me. Thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤ love you
Yesssssss
My ADHD has always been something I’ve had difficulty with, but when I started trying to be a better person and doing stuff for me, and accepting myself, everything change for the better
Just got diagnosed at 25.. talked to my dad he realized he had it and same with my grandma.. she’s in her late 60s finding this out. I’m just glad I could open their eyes to it so they could have a better quality of life knowing what’s been going on instead of just blaming themselves.
Thank you for being so open about your diagnosis, Jeannie! 💓 Adult ADHD is a lot more common nowadays. I think I have it too.
I was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type this year at 34… it really affects every aspect of your life. I’m still struggling accepting this because my type isn’t the one most ppl are used to. I’m a school teacher so I’ve seen ADHD but what I have is different and it’s funny because according to my counselor it can manifest differently in women and that’s why many women are misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder because for women it affects our emotions more! Thank you for sharing!
You are describing my daughter to a T. She is having a hard time focusing at school and her grades are going down, she has a hard time falling asleep as well. But she is so artistic and good at other stuff that doesn't require as much concentration. We just started to look for a psychologist to help us identify what is going on but this is a way great to start identifying how to better help her. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️
My son has the same issue. He was diagnosed with ADHD
I'm so happy that adult ADHD is finally being talked about on bigger platforms. I was diagnosed in 2019 and it changed my life.
I was diagnosed this year at 29 years old. It is amazing to me how often this gets missed in girls and how they almost always end up getting diagnosed in adulthood. I loved watching The Real because I related to you SO much as someone from the asia-pacific. And here’s another reason why, it seems. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this with us Jeannie and for giving us a little more visibility. Much love to you and your fam.
Literally in tears right now. Everything you said is my life! I was diagnosed last year & felt so “stupid” while taking my 3 hour test. I get so frustrated all the time. My aderall helped so much but I just had a baby 3 months ago & breastfeeding so I can’t even take it anymore. I just want to cry all the time because I feel like people just think I’m making everything you said up. It’s so hard but the bright side is I now know what it is & what to work on. You got this ♥️
I got diagnosed this year. Welcome to the club Jeannie!
Due to some of the traits you mentioned about ADHD, there's a possibility I may have it but as you said check your doctor. I really appreciate this video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
My fiancé recently was diagnosed with ADHD and things are slowly clicking for them for their actions and I’ve seen them give themselves some grace instead of being frustrated in situations. The growth is beautiful and ongoing.
Yes!! I love this! ❤
it's ok girl i straight left mhs too! i left to another school. but even when i started sjsu i dropped out. almost finished - got tested for testing anxiety - sitting in a room by myself taking a test didn't help either. and i work at stanford medicine now in obgyn doing research and assisting an ob. i say all this to say that it's not the journey that makes you. it's the tenacity you have in your own skills and believing in yourself. you good mama! i am so proud of all that you continue to do! learning and continuously growing and sharing the wisdom is what makes the world go round.
Both my fiancé and my best friend have adhd and while they struggle with the things that you mentioned, they are amazing, generous social butterflies who are fun to be around. I’m neurotypical and super organized/planner and quieter person so we all balance each other out. It’s never too late to achieve what you want Jeannie! ❤
I love this Jeannie. As a southeast Asian woman, it’s so lovely to see someone who I can identify with that way and openly sharing and highlighting adhd - thank you for being here, and for being you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
They closed down Cal Skate 😭. I'm from Milpitas! Sending you lots of love.
I was Diagnosed with ADD without the hyperactivity back in high school Thank you for talking about this I also have depression and anxiety. I think some of my ADD came out the other day when I was playing bingo and letting a stranger get the best of me. I was like why are you letting a stranger affect you. Although it could be a combination of all three of my disorders coming out.
Same here. I was diagnosed with ADD in elementary school. I was around 7 or 8.
This is me IN MY HEAD ALL DAYYYYY!!!
@@HelloHunnay Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone.
Same. Diagnosed in my mid-40s. It can be a real emotional rollercoaster! It explains so much about your past, and feels so validating to know that there are reasons for things that always seemed so unexplainable. Also, it’s AMAZING having access to a new community of people who truly “get” how your brain works…not to mention all of the new techniques you can learn that work with your brain instead of against it.
Still, even with all of those benefits, there can be a lot of emotional ups and downs associated with incorporating your diagnosis into your identity. Give yourself grace!
I absolutely recommend the UA-cam channel How to ADHD. Game-changer!!!
Also, I would look into what’s called “2E.” It stands for “Twice Exceptional.” It’s when you have two things which require support, but the symptoms cloud each other so you don’t get support for either. Most often, it’s giftedness and a learning disability. That’s what it is for me, and for you as well. It’s a whole new layer of complication! 😂 Fun!
Lastly, since ADHD is hugely influenced by hormones…buckle up for perimenopause! 😅
Love you!!!!
I got diagnosed last week. I wish I went to therapy at an early age. But there’s no point of regretting now. Now, I’m just focusing on myself. Adult ADHD is real and we can accomplish more things now that we finally have an answer to a mystery we’ve all had throughout our lives. Thank you for the awareness and I hope more and more people gets the encouragement to get diagnosed too.
So glad you found out while your daughter is so young. I wish I found out a long time ago but better late than never.
I have a bigger and brighter understanding about ADHD, thank you for educating & being open about your personal experience with it.
It’s okay, that you didn’t graduate high school - you achieved successful ventures elsewhere. You’re amazing, beautiful & never stop being you. ❤
Hey, Jeannie. I wanted to say that this video popped up on my feed late and I've always followed you for the longest time. Ever since I have been following you, since your How Do I Look days when I was in high school... To The Real... to now... Somewhere in my heart, I always knew you were a neurodivergent person. I was also diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and it finally made sense to me about all the things I went through and were happening to me.
I relate to everything that you have said in this video. What you're describing about yourself shows me that you're "twice exceptional" and what that means is that, you're both gifted and neurodivergent/disabled at the same time. (Note: ADHD can be a disability for some people depending on how intense it is) Being twice exceptional doesn't mean your problems are invalidated for being gifted and just because you're neurodivergent, doesn't mean you can't be gifted. Just because someone is having some issues, doesn't mean that they're incompetent. We are not incompetent, we just have different brain formations and our brains work differently compared to people who do not have ADHD or neurodivergent brains. People always assume that we are incompetent because of the things we go through.
And to answer the thing about how you don't wanna use your ADHD as an excuse. Here's what I wanna say, we're not using it as an excuse. We have been living in a world where everyone is neurotypical and people put that pressure on us to be up to that standards. There has been research studies that show some people are also night people and some are morning people. Doesn't mean someone who doesn't wake up early at 5am to work is lazy. You can be just as productive at 6pm as people who are productive at 6am. The same with ADHD. We are not using it as an excuse, it's just that now more and more experts and therapists and doctors AND people with ADHD, are spreading awareness and knowledge about the struggles with ADHD. We have to now teach others how to interact and socialise with us, embrace our differences rather than us having to accommodate to their neurotypical standards. This is really important.
I wanna say, this video from a person I truly admire and look up to, makes me happy. I have always had depression, anxiety and sometimes I even have anger management issues. I'm even on medication now. And some of those issues were made worse because of my ADHD, not directly but because I wasn't able to perform the way people wanted me to perform. I want to say to you and everyone else who are struggling, there's no shame with having issues. There's no shame with having to take medication. There's no shame with getting help. It's completely fine to embrace negativity sometimes, especially as someone with ADHD we're so used to just forgetting our problems and not addressing them. It's totally fine. We are human, we have to help others understand us. We are not defects, we are just different.
Please, get your diploma because you are most intelligent woman that I have ever seen. You’ve got it honey. Find out if you graduate with a diploma that is your next year goals.❤
Jeannie, I am the typical girl - graduated law school, always had good grades (although from later on in life) and I also watched you since I was kid from How do I look through every day of the Real. I am just writing to let you know that I love that you're a bookworm - and you never use your ADHD as an excuse. You are extremely organised - and I never thought you will be someone who will struggle with not being focused. Thankk you for putting out this video and helping many people out there!
Omgggg this was so on point EXACTLY me today , in my 30s struggling with ADHD. I was diagnosed in college after struggling ti barley graduated highschool. I was almost 20 when I was diagnosed and you 10000 percent hit it on the head . Your an inspiration to me 🤍
I was diagnosed when I was a kid with ADHD I am now 40. Most of my life I was so hesitant to tell anyone because their reaction was never a positive till I saw Youngblud & Dan Reynolds talk about theirs online when they were talking about a song Dan did with Youngblud. Since then I have seen so many people be open about it. I'm so thankful for social media because I finally have a community in which understands me rather than judge me for having this!! So glad you shared this!! Thank you & all those within this discussion!!
There is someone very important in my life with ADHD and I'm realizing how I can support them better. Thank you for sharing.
I truly love your honesty and you are a ray of light QUEEN!!!!
I have been recently diagnosed with ADHD and being able to have the realization makes me think about how I was growing up. I never struggled with school, but I really struggle when it comes to maintaining relationships because it is very hard for someone without ADHD to understand they way your mind works. People just think that we’re quirky or we just don’t know how to pay attention, but it’s so much more. ADHD also effects emotional regulation, I have had so many time where I have freaked out and kind of lost it. Looking back now I realize it wasn’t because I was being a brat, I just wasn’t able to communicate my feelings and also understand my emotions. There’s so much to say about ADHD and especially ADHD in women. I’m so glad that there are so many of us that can relate :)
Love you and coco 😍😍🫶🏽 sending hugs and healing to the family
This was an awesome explanation!!! Wow! You are incredible!! Thank you!
Love your authenticity Jeanie ❤❤❤
Got the same diagnosis!!!! We love you girl!!! Always ❤️💯😘🥰
Just got tested for ADHA & Bipolar Disorder to see which one I actually have. I encourage everyone to find as much as possible about yourself because you deserve that
Thank you so much! I'm gonna go and grab that book. God bless you and your beautiful family!.
You’re such a sweetie!❤ Wow! This really helped me. Thank you for being transparent.
I was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago, I'm 52. It took forever for me to learn to work with my brain, Your description of Momma Mai's voice in the back of your head, OMG! The voice in my head that always triggers my anxiety is my mom's voice. I didn't know other people could relate to that inner voice & the feelings it triggers.
I've been waiting for this episode hunnay 🥰🥰🥰
U made me cry. Thank you for this. ❤❤❤
❤ thanks for another one. This one is so relatable and it’s so courageous to share your diagnosis.
This video was a BLESSING on so so so many levels. Thank you ✨✨✨✨
Many thanks for this, it hits My heart and Know My daughter is Not alone♥️🙏
Wow very powerful and thank you for always sharing your story with us. With much love 🥰
I love that you are so candid
Just WOW you've explained this perfectly! The struggle is real!
Thank you Jeannie. Love how you broke it down and showed how you made it work for you. Lovee your personality and the love you have for others.
THANK YOU Jeannie for sharing the toughest part of your life and for always keeping it real. I love celebrities that will tell you the good and The bad about their life cause you helping so many people. You didn't have to explain your ADHD but you do for your fam. I'll always love you for this😭😭😭😭💝💝💝💐💐💐
Still going through the evaluation process and oh man I related so much to this vid! The channel How to ADHD has been really helpful in gaining understanding sending lots of love ❤️🙏🏽
I know people who have this & I like to educate myself about it so that I understand better. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
I truly admire you and everything about you that makes who you are. I think your Awesome ❤. You never need to be ashamed or embarrassed about anything you have. You don’t need any type of paper or diploma to signify or justify who you are … look at how far you have come and built this beautiful life and career. You should be so proud of yourself. All you needed was your own motivation and determination to do something you love to succeed. I am so glad and honored that you allowed us into your life your such an inspiration. God Bless
You are just amazing Jeannie. You made me feel seen🤍
This is so affirming and nice to hear! Makes me feel so see
Thanks Jeanie? I ❤️ you, this was soooo good. This helps so much, this is needed.
Thank You For Sharing Your ADHD with Us and Keeping It Real With Us! God Bless You and Your Awesome, Too!
Glad you are sharing this, been following you for years and I have ADHD (ADD) myself. Refreshing to year you talk about this, makes you feel less alone 💖
Wow!
Thank you for being REAL!😅
Continued Success In Everything You Do!!
Thanks for sharing! I was able to sit still and watch this whole video!❤
This is so empowering, i had chills!
OMG I can relate to so much what you are telling..thank you for being so straightforward..you have made my day..
I was diagnosed at 5 so I’ve been dealing with it for a long time and know I’m 26 and still struggling but TikTok is helping me feel seen and watching different celebrities come out about it there’s is making me feel less alone so thank you for sharing
I love this vid. Jeannie you’re so passionate about talking about your condition and you explain it so well I fully understood it, in Jeannie Mai Jenkins terms. I work with children and people with ADHD and it’s wonderful you use all your assets in a great way and one of the best talk show hosts ever and so real and genuine and I think don’t people are real as you in the UK. Keep thriving and being your best self and you own it before they do.
I want to thank you for sharing your story because every thing you described with your experience on ADHD I feel on a daily and I'm also a wife and a mother and it's hard because I feel so alone. No one really talks about ADHD and the struggles of it but you made me feel like I'm not alone anymore. I hope and pray that I gain the confidence that you have and be able to live in my truth with it so THANK YOU... 🥰😍😘
I love that you talked so openly about ADHD.. although I am not sure if I have it but I have wondered if I did. But btw, I absolutely love the color green on you and the earrings. Super cute and super empowering with everything you overcame through!
Keep striving for your dreams & goals hunni you got this !! My son was diagnosed at s early age he struggled in school it was very hard to see my baby going through 🥹 but he is thriving a father himself now & yes he inherited from his dad ! Love You Much !! 😍🤗
Fantastic episode!!!!
Jeanie I just got diagnosed before I turned 40 and it’s been a lot to process, this video helped me so much ❤ You’re an inspiration ❤
This has assured me that maybe I am not crazy rather needing to work with my Dr to determine if I have ADHD. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing.
Haven’t seen your posts in along time but somehow your feed came up today and watched few vids and now to this… thank you for sharing this… bc my daughter was just diagnosed w adhd today. Wow… God is good … you explain it so well. THANK YOU!!
I love your courage …I went to college; became a teacher before learning I too had symptoms common to students with ADHD…What a chaotic , adrenaline-filled life! Thank you for this share.
❤
You gave me goosebumps! Thank you for being so open. My son was recently diagnosed with ADHD and now I'm in the process of being diagnosed myself.
It is a roller-coaster.
Jeannie love you and your show. Thank you for being your authentic self, gifting us the opportunity to do the same.
OMG I teared up with you regarding your diploma.. It is never too late to get it. Thank you for sharing your story. You are enough.. One of my fav things you taught me was if something gives you weight cut it only have things around you that give you wings.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I can see some of this with my loved ones
Thanks for being transparent! ❤😊
This is my first time hearing about this, don’t know if I have it as I have not been diagnosed, but everything u said I go through them. Really hard to focus, like I wrote an exam recently and I couldn’t focus to read the passage, my mind was everywhere and this made me hate reading. Thank you so much as this was helpful maybe someday I will know if or not I have it. My forgetfulness is on another level, let alone my anger. Thank you Jeannie
Love this, thank you for sharing. My daughter and husband have ADHD and I am learning and trying to understand how they function differently. And your explanation about how the process in their brain brings some clarity.
Jeannie Mai Jenkins you are gifted graduate or not you change the world and continue to so. Thanks you for sharing your gifts with the world. Happy Holiday to you and your beautiful family.
FIRST COMMENT!!! Another inspirational episode from an inspirational person (I'm talking about YOU Jeannie)! I remember you mentioning in the Reading My Old Diary episode that you have ADHD also. And I ain't even gon front... I got kinda emotional listening to you tell your story on how you found out you have ADHD & how you're dealing with it today. Even the part when you said you didn't graduate high school, that part hit me too. And I got emotional (not crying tho) bcuz I be thinking the same thing whenever I see you on my phone or on my TV screen, I be thinking "MAN... Jeannie got it made! She's living her best life, married to the man of her dreams, got a beautiful daughter, beautiful family, she got people in her life who love her & support her, she constantly stays working, she's not involved in no controversial BS, she has no worries & everything's all good & perfect in her life." But in reality... you just never know what a person's going through behind the scenes & how they're dealing with it or if they're even dealing with it at all. It's like when you see certain people & it seems like they're the happiest person in the world, but in reality they got this secret invisible dark cloud over their head following them everywhere they go. And I feel like I need to start being more mindful of that whenever I see those certain people. So thank you Jeannie for inspiring me once again & sharing your ADHD story with us & letting people know that they're not alone in the ADHD community. And Imma ALWAYS be right here by your side now until the end! I luv you Jeannie Mai-Jenkins!!! 💚💚💚
I’ve been watching you for years, especially since your “How Do I Look?” days. This video was inspiring ❤
Hey Jeannie ❤️ thanks for being so open with the world because most people wouldn't. It's ok most people have it and some do and don't know.
My 31 year old niece was diagnosed with ADHD. Her husband has Asperger‘s and their both on medication and he is an elementary school teacher. He teaches fifth and sixth grade boys and my niece got her degree in web design and worked for an organization called FIDF and so you can definitely do whatever you put your mind to anyone who has ADHD can do anything they put their minds to, including Jeannie Mia so don’t let the fact that you have ADHD stop you from achieving your goals in life like you’ve already done and continue and will continue to do so❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is so encouraging thank u!
@@HelloHunnay
Your more than welcome ❤️❤️
Love to see the neurodivergent couple representation here in the comments ❤
@@HelloHunnay hey I love you and your videos I sing. Check out my singing videos on my channel
Your not alone Queen I also suffered from ADHD as I get older with a child it’s does sometimes gets overwhelming keep up the wonderful work with baby manico
Jeannie, thank you so much for sharing this. I was hoping you would eventually. I think the biggest thing you need to know is all that you’re describing is referred to as Internalized Ableism. Also, I understand that unlike me who has had 20 years of experience to work through my internalized ableism (and still dealing through it!), you’re only at the start of it. I thank you for sharing this video. I really hope to make this into like a mini series because so much needs to be layered off from this. ❤❤ I’m here for you!!
Sean
omg thanks so much for sharing thiss! I love ur honesty and vulnerability. When u mention how to this day you can have episodes of forgetfulness, find it hard to fall asleep cuz restlesness/mind racing, etc... i just felt ... wow "Fatima, its okay to struggle with these things time to time. Dont be so hard on urself. Just like how jeannie Mai gets by and is THRIVING omggg, so can u."
and omg when u shared this adhd thing affects ur friendships, woahhhh. Sometimes, im labeled as being UNreliable and it makes me feel bad like woahhhh, how am i gonna sustain friendships? But its nice to see im not the only one. Im still hard on myself sometimes, its hard NOT to be, but im working on it.
Omg Jeannie I just got diagnosed too and honestly it has been a huge weight off my shoulders!! I always felt weird, broken, lazy so I over-compensated my entire life. I finally have a therapist and medication and I'm literally a week in buy I feel so much better already in so many ways! Good luck on your journey and tha k you for sharing Jeannie! I heart you so much!!
Thank you for this video & recommending the book. I will def gift this book to one of my friends who has ADHD.
Yay! To not know is hard, when you find out life gets way more enlightened ❤️ 32yo diagnosed
I was diagnosed with ADD and had selective mutism in elementary school. I was around 7 or 8 when I was diagnosed (I am 23 in February). A few of my friends kinda knew about it and it wasn't a big deal to them.
i was just diagnosed with Adhd Innatentive type at 32 years old !! even though i wish i had known earlier i’m happy i finally have answers . i’ve read so much about adhd now and it’s crazy how taboo it still is and how most people just think of the Adhd hyperactive type!!! oh it just means you can’t focus or multi task . It’s so much more than that , people don’t think even realize how it can cause depression or anxiety and low dopamine levels. i’ve had a lot of people tell me adhd is made up and not real and it blows my mind . i also was thankfully properly diagnosed by an intense cognitive test
I got assessed and diagnosed twice. 10 and 18. I'm 36 now and still figuring it out no medication. thank you for sharing. your daughter is adorable. 😀
Thank you for this video. I believe I have adhd and my mind is all over the place. I’m class of ‘97 also(here in Hawaii); but had trouble focusing and getting organized as a teen and now adult as well. Thank you for the info; so insightful and U are very inspiring ❤
