Consistency and self discipline is the hardest thing to do when your undiagnosed. I don't know if medication helps with the motivation. My emotional irregularities is killing me
I started a cleaning business 18 years ago , it’s fast paced and the homes before the cleaning and after the cleaning is very rewarding. And it holds my attention and my Days at work pass very quickly.
Way to go! I’m happy for you! ADHD makes people suffer and now you have your own business. Props!
Here is my sincerely well-intended feedback: I believe that I'm your target and this video is really too slow for me, the 70 seconds intro already lost me. I would need a faster talking. and also, ideally, a summary of the 6 criteria in the description and an easy way to fast-forward to each of them so I can choose the one that I want to learn more about.
The 1st thing that comes to my mind now is the "faster than normal show" that is well designed for an ADHD audience. I hope you will appreciate my feedback!
Hey Thomas, thanks for the feedback, i do appreciate it! Its not the first time I'm receiving such feedback - I'll definitelly try to speed things up in the future. Also: I'm aware of the shankman podcast - I really like it! Thanks, Nik
@@adhdvision I wanted to say the same thing, this is the first time I've watched a video at 1.75x speed and it sounded pretty normal, maybe like 1.25x usually sounds. Even if the script is not tightened up, faster talking would help, though I have no idea how possible that is for you. Also, I thought Dem in your username meant Democrat for a minute. Other than that, great video! I would also appreciate points 1-6 listed in the description.
@@davidg11235 Hey David, thanks for the feedback, seems to be something I should really work on. I just listed the points 1-6 in the description for you!
@@adhdvision "I just listed the points 1-6 in the description for you!" This is awesome! Thank you! :)
Now that's just over reacting dude. I think you just need to Stop whining about everything. It's not that big of an issue honestly
I want to be an actor, music artist and music producer. I want to breathe life into characters, stories, lyrics and creative people.
Sounds amazing 🙏
I've done a lot of very different things through my life, but my working life has mostly consisted of seasonal type work (e.g. picking fruit etc) because it always meant that I could come and go as I please. Also working outside is good for me. It suited me mentally but physically it was very harmful. At 32, I'm toying dangerously with the idea of becoming a 2D animator and learning the whole pipeline process so that one day I can start an independent animation studio focused on artful, meaningful storytelling that goes against the grain of what the mainstream animation industry demands.
After trying so many things, and none of them really working for me, it is funny to me that I am coming back around to my childhood/teenage dream of being an artist and storyteller. Ever since I could hold a pen I was adamant that I would be an artist. All I did, all I ever wanted to do, was to draw comics and cartoons. I also wanted to be a cartoon voice actor and story writer. I got judged and criticized for it during high school (my high school books were full of cartoon doodles instead of work), so I killed that part of me. I couldn't draw for 16 years. During lock down last year I started making art and once again, it's all I want to do. It's like the only thing in the world that I know I can commit to working hard at developing my skills without losing interest. I know that because I spent the first 15 years of my life doing it.
This is pretty much the only direction that makes sense to me right now so... mreh. Might as well go for it, right.
I relate to this a lot. I’ve done a lot of seasonal, temporary and outdoor jobs. The passion I’m coming back to is translation from French to English, a much more sit-still-and-focus-at-desk job, but I tested it for a few months and found that it held my attention, especially doing a series of shorter projects on different subjects I was interested in. I now want to learn more of the theory and ethics of translations so I can feel I’m doing good work for clients but it’s a lot - working for income and then studying on the side. However, I’ve been able to stick to this passion and slowly over time find more and more accessible resources to support my education. So I really appreciated reading your post and knowing I’m not alone.
Thank you! I thought I was crazy, but the story teller, the wanderer, the creator, always was my lifelong goal.
Please, be an artist, but like with 100% boldness, since it’s what you ever was meant to do!!! I feel you, trust me on that. What ever doubts and looking back you have - it will just delay you from your purpose and fulfilling life. So, go for it!!!
Go for it 🎉 Don't worry about what others say or what they said when you were in high school (It's actually sad they said what they said to took away your passion in life)
Don't worry about your age.. Follow your heart, be the artist you always wanted to be, and the storyteller, draw comics and catoons sound so interesting 😊
I'm sending all good vibes. Good luck ❤
I’m a communications specialist for an environmental nonprofit. I thrive on deadlines and clear structure like grammar and editorial style. My job requires creativity and problem solving, trying to persuade people to take action to protect our environment through storytelling! I’m so passionate about the subject matter. I worked in corporate communications and while I enjoyed the challenge of writing and editing and deadlines, the subject matter bored me to tears. Nonprofit is really important to me too because I need to feel like my job has meaning and that I’m making a difference. I’ve had almost 20 years of experience in my field. My biggest tip to young ADHDers starting out: do multiple part-time jobs, temp jobs, and internships to help you figure out what you love to do. Don’t take a job unless something about it sparks your interest or passion. It’s better to have 2 or more part-times than a full-time job you hate. Once you figure out what you love, than make a move to full time.
Super glad to know you’ve been successful in communications. I’m a filmmaker/cinematographer of 12 years and am finally making a switch to comms by going back to school for my masters.
The pandemic worsened my adhd symptoms and now they are difficult to control to the point where I don’t feel like myself or normal at all.
I’m trying my best but knowing that others are working through it gives me hope.
Like Jim Carrey once said “you can fail at doing something you hate, so you might as well try doing something you love”
Personally, as an ADHD’er, an accounting-related job was a train wreck for me. I got bored by the slow-paced job and high degree of attention-to-detail.
Understandable!
What new jobs are your pursuing now?
@@adhdvision i also had adhd with mood swings, being forgetful, having temper issues, easily to get confused and also my mind was been 'floated like a cloud' (i should take some meds or not?)
@@talimbeingaverythriftyghor5967 what do you have to lose ? Go seek medical attention, but try exercise and mindfulness, timers and planners...that I am looking for ways to manage...a guy who I don't really know was talking to me while I was working and he said, Dude there's mediciation for that ? For what ? Your lack of focus ? WTH, I was focused until you came to talk to me....
My youtube channel is a good example of how ADHD has affected me. When I was 14, I stumbled on a video where someone was producing edm with FL Studio and I remember I was so blown away by it. I played violin for a long time and always assumed you needed to know piano to input notes via keyboard for music production. After seeing this guy input notes via mouse, I immediately started trying to produce my own edm in the same way. But I was never very disciplined, not even with my violin practicing. I would get frustrated and rushed projects. I would work on something for a couple hours and throw it up on myspace or youtube because I wanted to share a melody that excited me. I still struggle to slow down and take time crafting songs. I also have procrastinated learning music theory and how to produce professionally for many years. I always had this feeling like I could never do it seriously. Now years go by between projects. I'm 28 now. I got my BA degree in multimedia production years ago and after dabbling in many different creative fields, I struggled to find the confidence to pursue one in particular as a career. I'm 1 Intro to Networking class away from a computer science AS right now (classes keep me accountable and stay focused) and I currently work as a CS tutor. Programming has been the most step-by-step creative thing I've learned which initially had me thinking it was the job for me. I started doubting this too because it can be very mentally taxing (and part of me wants to move on to graphic design and branding). But the good news here is that programming is something I hyper-focus on! Plus it feels good to share with other students who are uncertain about programming or STEM fields that I really don't have a STEM background and am still terrible at Math but I can program!
I've seen a few of your videos and I'm going to apply what you've shared and dedicate more time and discipline to my work and side projects. So many years I've been frustrated with myself that I still don't _magically_ have a portfolio in anything.
Thank you for posting! Much appreciated. :)
I think programming or engineering will be great too. Nursing is a lot of critical thinking. The education was hell, you’re guessing on what’s what believe or not. Engineering is very linear and you get to CREATE something. I realized this halfway through my nursing program lol.
This helped me understand better why, my side job in real estate was so exciting to me (since its dealing with sales) and making me a lot happier then my 8-5 job. I'm working towards making real estate my full time career and I see now it'll be a good change!!!
In many countries you are not allowed to work in the military, police force or as a firefighter if you are diagnosed with ADHD. It is of course ridiculous, as there is a huge range of how ADHD affects you. Many with ADHD would not only be capable, they would excel. ADHD is actually believed to be common in those jobs but diagnosed later in life (they keep their jobs, at least here in Sweden) People might avoid seeking help for mental health problems to not risk a diagnose. And of course, we miss out on excellent people much needed in these jobs.
U learn to learn and alot of ppl have grown up masking and just pretending to be normal or u just get used to it and learn ways around it its hard but it good if u have the right job.
I’m a freelance photographer! I love working for myself because I can set my own schedule.
Photography..also a great field!
OMGGG
Hi 👋🏽 This is some thing that I was looking into did you take a photography course?
@@CrystalGil I’ve taken workshops here and there but mostly self taught! I’ve had internships as well.
What about us ADD people, who don't have a lot of physical energy, but a lot of mental energy (without endurance)...?
Hi, thank you so much for you being on UA-cam! It makes a lot of sense now, made the test 12 out of 14 is YES.
Doing my office job at day and painting since Covid to fill the emptiness what made me struggle a lot. Find a new LOVE for painting and staring to sell my art soon, in Jun. Gives me a lot of anxiety, but frankly even a longer drive does so hey wow. Just need overcome it :)
Watching your video makes me feel I am not alone being a wierdo, helps me to understand what is going on, and the tips are very helpful and much apricated!
I assumed being creative only included painting and drawing and art. It never striked to me that designing random things on Canva is also creative. I resonated with most of the adhd questions from one of your previous videos but I thought I wasn't creative. I just had the bulb glow moment after watching this. Thank you for this video.
I love my career in recruiting. Fast paced, constant changing and helping people. A sales role of sorts but between human capital + the company I hire for. Great video content - thank you!!
Thanks a lot man for making these videos. I just found your channel and it just blew my mind how relatable this is. It's like u have answered all the questions of my life bothering me since childhood. Now i can see clearly why always i was the weird one among groups in school and college. Why it's hard for me to choose career when all my friends have figured out. BTW i am from India and thanks a lot. Right now i am binge watching all your videos. I wish i knew about ADHD when i was in school.
Dude, I am of Indian decent and I found out I had ADHD at the age of 27. It makes me mad that my Indian parents didn't notice I had ADHD and would berate me for the fact I didn't get good grades in school and couldn't hold a job longer for a year. I completely understand the feeling of being upset and disappointed that you didn't learn about ADHD sooner but I do wish you the best of luck
I'm a SAP Consultant and many things about this job are very well suited for ADHD. I actually suspect a bunvh of my colleagues to have undiagnosed ADHD aswell.
The job is fast paced, things are flying at you left right and center and my ability to work with short deadlines and adapt quickly is really helpful. Sure, there are tedious and repetetive aspects to the work, but overall i can really recommend this carrer for others with ADHD if you are interested in coding and IT in general.
Here in germany it is one of the best paying jobs in the already well paied IT sector, and very accesible for outsiders to get into. Like i had 0 experience in IT and only learned some coding for my interview and now I'm coding 70% of my workday.
Hey, thanks for sharing your story. You are really helping people like me trying to figure things out after leaving my 4th job.
All these things are what lead me to a new career in Audiovisual Technology in the Events industry. Every event is a MASSIVE deadline, so everything is on a tight timeline which works amazingly for structure and that sense of urgency we need to push us into action. I learn to work with new technology on a monthly basis, and I work someplace new with new people every few days or weeks and get to travel a lot so the sense of novelty is definitely there. It's challenging because it requires an aptitude with complex machinery and software but also requires creativity and resourcefulness to implement. It's a really interesting field because I'm helping to create the atmosphere for some really amazing experiences, and getting to play with amazing toys like curved LED walls, programable moving lights, and even holograms!
Oh and I forgot risk-taking-- Im sometimes required to work several stories high and with equipment that is very heavy and expensive! Its a very physical job too so that helps keep the dopamine going.
Love this, thank you so much for sharing!!
That sounds pretty interesting! I could see myself doing something like that although I wonder whether I could handle the stress if something didn't work during an event! Would you be willing to share how you got into it?
Thanks for sharing! Some great advice, really helped me on what to focus on
Hey thanks. Glad I could Help!
Oh my God I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are doing an amazing job.
You are helping us love ourselves.
Gud suggestions. Although i just came to know that i have ADHD recently still here are some of my suggestions. Which i think a person with ADHD could do better...
1) Wild Life photographer
2) Detective (bcoz we cud see connection between things that r totally unrelatable for other people and Also we can see minute details. Think out of the box.
3) Radio-jokey(bcoz we cud talk a lot on different subjects simultaneously and we have a good sense of humour.
4) Marketing/Advertising related job that involves giving ideas on how to increase sales or how to market a product differently.
5) Stand up (Again gud sense of humour and can extract humour out of anything).
6)Travel vlogger.
👍
I am thinking of blogging but a lot of questions comes to my mind like who will take care of camera. How to reach the spot. I mean I can do only one thing either go and do the blog or do the shooting
was going for nursing but i’ve recently just switched to massage therapy and i couldn’t be more excited 🙌🏼
I ended up staying in my hospital security job for ten years. I think its because there was so much change and different people every day. I actually felt happy even though I wanted something else. My side job was trading the stock market as well. I felt I had freedom to be who I wanted to be. Great video by the way..
Hey, did you face any difficulty in building discipline for trading? How could you manage your portfolio and how was the overall experience? Please share!
@@shubhamdhamelia5233whether ADHD or not, do not trade alone. Do not take actual investing decision alone. Involve family members or friends.
Thank you so much for making a video like this, I have 25 days to get a new job and I have been frozen on the application process. I often know I can't find a job that is going to fit my ADHD and provide for me as well. My politics often drive me away from jobs in sales and jobs with hierarchal authority structures - which often take out high-risk jobs. So I have succumbed to looking for jobs where the missions are important and I can use the value of a good mission to drive my work, but the work environment and interview process has felt, in the past, traumatizing at best. I struggle to make a successful and secure career path, and it hurts.
Thank you for making me feel a bit more seen.
Hey, glad I could help. I'm grateful that this video was able to show you that good jobs are at times even reserved for people with our skill set!
How did it go? Were you able to find something? I'm interested in changing careers and am curious what works for other ADHD people!
This video has made me realise that I probably should go back to my job working real estate because there was never a dull moment, the only thing that I really struggled with was the rejection sensitivity aspect and working for not so great people
A good career for someone with ADHD- A Home Hospice Social Worker/Hospice Nurse /Hospice Chaplain are good careers for people with ADHD because you are always on the go with an expectation of 5-9 home hospice visits a day. I have ADHD myself. I did this job for 28 years. If the office I worked in hadn't closed due to a merger in 2019, I would still be there and loving it. I was not able to find another Hospice Social Worker position because of age. I made a successful transition into psychotherapy and have some clients with ADHD. I am also an inspiring free lance photographer.
Thank god. I’ve had the desire to become a pilot recently and nothing has ever clicked quite like it as a possible career but I was so scared that it was just going to be a quick passing thing that I hyper focused on. This video definitely helped me solidify it in my mind that pursuing it is a good idea.
It sounds like a great job for ADHD on the surface. I also thought about it a lot. But I also see some possible issues - i dont mean to discourage you at all, but it would be good to watch out for those. Firstly it is what you mentioned - passing interest. I dont necessarily think that flying is a "passing" interest for you - however (at least from my experience) my "permanent" interests tend to have highs and lows. So I consider myself an avid sailor, but I have not sailed a minute this year... While 2 years ago I went on 3 week long sailing trips and regularly sailed on small "sporty" boats in the afternoons.
I always kinda want to do it, but often just dont... I want to think, that if someone "forced me" and paid me to do it, it would be a dream come true, but... im not sure if I wouldnt grow to hate it because of that.
Secondly, and this is more important, because I dont know a way around that - ADHD seems to entail some degree of forgetfullness about details. Most of the time, my "forgetfullness" is really a lack of motivation and caring... BUT even when I am really focused and interested in something, rarely (but consistently, like... monthly) I trully forget about some detail or do something in the wrong order, or something of that sort. And at those moments it takes me totally by surprise, because I really trully did not think of it at all. In aviation, this might be litterally life threatening.
In any case, I hope you do well if you pursue this path or any other :-) cheers!
I'm a pilot with add and I agree with you partially. You can't forget to push the buttons becuse i'ts very repetitve so it goes down to your kinetic memory after a while and usually there's high adrenaline upon take-off and landing so you're focused. In regards to first paragraph - truth is that after 10 years of doing this I'm completely burned out. It's rather boring to do the same thing for so many years and it becomes really repetitve. Additionally when I switched to long-haul aircraft it tampered with my circadian rhythm and worsened my symptoms. The only thing I would advise against in aviation career for someone with ADHD is to go long-haul. Otherwise these planes are not as difficult to fly as they seem :) good luck! @@psychepeteschannel5500
I have been studying optometry, but going through the internship and working, has been very hard. I keep falling into depressive states. Constantly trying to have a 'conversation' with the patients, while being observed by my lecturers broke me. I wish I had known about my adhd earlier. I have now been to two universities , to do the same course, and only failing to finish.
Me being only 14, but watching anyways
You're never too young to learn my teenage friend! ;)
That's good kid. Its better to be watching this video at 14 than at 25 like myself lol.
You have a huge advantage because of your age and the technology available at this same time. Prosper my friend!!!
same i'm 11 and i want yo a navy seal and a surgen
Good shit lil bro
Wow, watching your video's helped me to understand and come to terms with the fact I have ADHD. I am a person who is an extreme extravert, doesn't want to fit in with groups within my job and who has very few friends, but they are all high-quality friends who add value to my life. I noticed most people especially who are within the work environment settle for mediocrity and want to fit in with any group in their job. Me, I get along with everyone since I am an extravert and I make connections with others very easily, but I don't like groups of people I would rather be on my own working alone yet at the same time being the life of the party.
I never once felt like I fit in but as I have gotten older and wiser, I choose myself and I rather work alone because I am a rule breaker, and I don't conform to social standards because by doing so I feel I am compromising my own principles and ethics.
Getting back to the point watching your video's I come to realize at the age of 47 that I have ADHD and it was a breath of fresh air because I was always wondering why I was different.
I am impulsive, extreme extravert, most people like my personality because I am funny, and I connect with people very easily. I am very self-confident and most importantly all this began once I found my passion in life which is programming, I found my purpose in life which challenges me, and I am not bored doing so.
You are very correct in many aspects of ADHD and I had no idea that ADHD could be considered to be a super power since it has such a negative stigma to it, thank you for the video content.
What an amazing story! Best of luck on your journey friend.
Currently working in foodservice for the last 20 years however I foundout that I'm an adhd person this past spring. I have in my blood the network/referral marketing gene and management. So I always love challenges. I've also loved health and wellness, athletics, and helping people
Left my job.. Learning accounting, coding, video making... always loved systems, investments, creates fun and interactive stuff. Love martial Arts. Love risk. Risk taker! My challenge is to keep "doing it everyday"
Thank you! Very good video, very informative, the stock videos put me off a bit though.
I started to study animation this year, since after a really depressive time in my military service, I decided I would never live the pain of wasting life doing something boring and I would take the risk trying to work as an artist\animator in the video game industry.
at school I never really get myself to focus on the tasks, all my notebooks were filled with sketches, I never really studied for a test, and I would never put the effort to be somewhere above average (even thou I think I could).
but studying someting im super passionate about has done wonders to me! Im pretty much practicing drawing and animation skills from 10-12 hours a day and thanks to hyper focus, time passes so fast that I have to force myself to stop.
I can even focus easily on the more boring stuff like anatomy, perspective study, and color and light theory.
Thank you endlessly for this
No probem!
Thanks a lot for videos like this ,I want to become a software Developer, because it has always a target and time duration which keeps me away from procrastination.
Love organizing, making order out of chaos. Event planning and teaching short things like workshops. Enjoy the process as much as the out come, but can't stay focused enough to build the business to the level that produces a decent income.
To help learn how to “control” your brain try classes in meditation, yoga, martial arts, weight lifting. Healthy diet, Omega 3’s, avoid carbs and sugary treats.
I'm thinking of getting in the german military and watching the video to see if it would fit. So thank you for doing such videos to show us also the good side of ADHD
Since I have combined ADHD, it’s super hard to find my best fit. I have symptoms that require structure, and others that require flexibility and freedom. I am also fairly frail, so most physically demanding jobs take me out after a few months to a year. I am an artist, but ADHD makes it super difficult to follow through on pieces. My life has been a wreck and slowly falling apart because of this, but at least I understand why.
This was so good
My passion is motivate people. I don't know it is so natural to me! I did assists in personality building to everyone near to me. They'll be much successful when following my advice. And I didn't even know it was my natural talents! I've been assisting my friends since middle school. I'm one of the peer motivators in my school counseling club. I can provide out of the box solutions for their roadblocks.
Man! Thanks for giving me the idea!
And I love piloting too. I'd be hyperfocus learning about specific aircraft to the point it might earn me an aircraft rating! Just not a real one. A simulated one lol. But I did researching about the aircraft that I love till I read all the manuals! Learning how to fly in sim makes my brain juice going and its a novelty achievement!
Maybe I'd start my own personality building company 😃
i am so happy i found ur page omg
🙏
danger situations that appear from nowhere and have to be mastered in a millisecond❤makes me feel the god power
If you have adhd always keep in your mind you can do anything fuck what anyone tells you
Me who’s not diagnosed with ADHD but always finds the tips helpful 😀
Being a teacher best motivation🎉
I also tried sales for a few months. (real estate and insurance as well) I was so excited when I started and enjoyed every aspect of those jobs except one. I should have been knowing better that, as a huge introvert, phone calls will drown me to the bottom of my energy stores :D Well, at least I tried... taking risks is also a treat for us, after all :)
Thank you that was very helpful
🙏
I've been told I'd be a good influencer teacher, coach, fitness trainer, just anything fun and engaging working 1 on 1 with troubled individuals I'm able to relate to a transgender woman at my work a few of the "alpha males" I'm pretty much a tribe leader in this case I'd have to follow my passion and that's helping people
I actually wanna be a race car driver, honestly adhd is made for it cuz it helps on reaction time
Agreed. Go for it friend! I also think it would definitelly be a "fast paced" environment ;) and one that provides you with enough stimulation.
@@adhdvision hell even in racing games that I play with my wheel and pedal set are stimulating as hell
I have ADHD and honestly I’m really interested in building. I’m just not quite sure if Engineering is my career pathway that I want. I wanna be able to build or fix anything. Another thing I like to do, is fixing people’s game accounts. I’ve hacked a few games and I use a hacking tool where I have to add binary codes to add a certain amount of currency or any other items in a game account. I used that hacking tool to my advantage a lot. I’m able to fix people’s game accounts. This is what I like to do.
great motivation
EMS is a great job. Just got to make sure you take care of your back. It’s what I loved, until my body decided it wasn’t sustainable.
Now I am trying to find a new one that I can physically and mentally do. 🤷🏻♀️
I love being outdoors in nature. As a teenager I wanted to be a field biologist or something along those lines but I'm 36 now with a wife and 3 kids. So I'm wondering what else there might be out there with which one can support a family while also being out in nature.
after high school, I couldn't decide between being a teacher (english and portuguese), psychologist, actor etc, but now I'm studying law
Went to collage study photography. Put field in business. Worked odd job for years. Underemployed!
I'm trying to build a career as an illustrator. I'm very good at drawing but it is really hard to organize myself in a way that allows me to be as productive as I need. Especially now because I want to create content on how to draw, but I don't know how to start or organize to be productive
Ok. Thats why, I am a CPA but thinking of becoming a CFA
Risk taking for me are extreme sports. Surfing/bodyboarding, I love it. The more dangerous the break, shallow, rock or reef, the more i get excited and happy. You can tell when you take off on the wave and the smile gets to joker like proportions.
I am a nurse. It's intense. I love it. Don't like the assaults though. Assaults are very common now days in health care.
Great idea for a video/channel. I'd skip the intro tho and get straight to the point(s).
Been a truck driver, currently drive a fuel tanker driver. Risky job, lol but i dont feel anything in the way of fear
The 3rd point is great for being an entrepreneur, but the 6th one is against it.
I'm a food engineer and I struggled with working at factories and quitting around a year after getting bored. Now at 35 yo I'm getting myself unemployable after switching jobs that much.
So I decided to start my own entrepreneurship, since I'm very creative and I love developing products, but I lack the structure and I tend to procrastinate a lot since I put and fail my own deadlines...
I just found about ADHD and my whole life makes sense now. But still I need help, probably a business partner that push me everyday, but I couldn't find one yet.
Recently got diagnosed with ADHD I'm hugely into working out and physical fitness. Seems like working as a gym trainer would be a good start for me to start earning some money. But I'm not really sure how to get a formal certification for doing so.
Hey man, thanks for the comment. I'm also really into workouts (I'm literally writing this after my morning exercise routine). Maybe you passion for exercise has something to do with the dopamine rush our brain experience after exercise, due to our natural deficiency in so-called "happy chemicals". Anyway, go for it. I think its a great job for adhd because you will probably get to work with lots of different clients and all the while get happier when working out yourself. A dream combination 😉
Theater! Decor is always changing, a lot of artistic people, a lot of characters and roles and the deadlines are a masterpiece there: actors take their time for weeks only to get it perfect in the last week with great work and everything looks perfect at the premiere. All the time! Also you don't have to be an actor, just be part of the production artistic or technical.
what if nothing pops up as an interest in my mind! what do i do??
I love high intensity
not related, but something that happened recently.. I got a new desk from Ikea! I was hyped about it, I ended up buying two because I changed my mind last second... but, when i got home I was gonna chat with a friend, I told them I wanted to put the desk together... I told them to give me an hour and I will call back... well, it felt like an hour, but I ended up putting it all together... and I sat there doing so for 7 hours.. my body hurt. xD
I love how my ikea founder comment lead you to post about your recent IKEA experience :D. Funny, yea we tend to really get more things done when we have a set time (for you an hour) and a specific, defined task (you needing to put those desks together). But 7 hours is crazy, did you take breaks in between??
AreDemHogsDumb No sir, I legit went 7 hours doing only that.xD when my brain tells me something must be done, I can’t stop, like literally! I could be physically and or emotionally exhausted, I’ll still feel the need to keep at it. Not only that, I took apart my pc setup, my tv setup, and put it all back on the new desks.xD that could be my adhd, or ocd, don’t know. cx
@@MsToastyy Haha love that, I have had lots of relatable experiences to that one. Once I start something with a specfic topic i.e. cleaning (like cleaning the bathroom) I often switch to something else that wasnt initially part of my task but overlaps into the bigger task (i.e. cleaning the house) once I'm done with that task (like vacumming) because I wanna complete it ALL AT ONCE :D
AreDemHogsDumb I always felt alone! I was recently diagnosed.. I joined a support group, and I now see so many people like me! It’s absolutely insane! Even with what you said! I totally thought that was just me! It’s nice to know that it’s not.xD
@@MsToastyy that's what this UA-cam channel is for. To connect with like-minded (literally ;)) individuals! Glad it helped.
Is it possible for a person to be on the spectrum for ADHD?
Is it either you have it or you don’t or can it be different levels of intensity?
I'm in the process of trying to get diagnosed because I think I might have it. I have heard many times you're not the first to say that starting and running a business is one thing that people with ADHD are good at and choose to go that career route, however some of the major signs and symptoms for ADHD are lack of motivated and not following through which seems a little contradictory to a business owner starting out who has to be up and going all the time doing everything themself. I think if I did that I would be okay for about a month or two and then I would fizzle out. So how is being unmotivated and supposedly lazy a good candidate for a successful business? (no judgement here I'm just wondering how you would go about it because it seems interesting but I know I personally would lose interest in about a month or less because that's how it's been with everything I've done)
He qualified it with having a support person to help keep you organized and on track.
How would one search out the risk taking job? Or are there a collection to choose from? What is the exact job title or some pointers please
Check out my Video "Top 6 ADHD Jobs and Careers" Im sure you will find one for you!
I've been looking for someone to do a video of this

I have my own business working from home. I get to help people and build a better future for my family.
CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS FOR ADHD PEOPLE, EX: LOVE, BUSSINESS, FRIENDS, FAMILY
For the longest time I've wanted to own a hotel or start some kind of business, but tbh I didn't even get my high school diploma I just couldn't sit there and type and read it ,on top of that I was abused so I never really could focus enough to care. Now I'm a single mom with a little girl of my own and I want to do better for her but I truly honestly have no idea what to do. I've also haven't been able to keep a job because of my ptsd, and major depressive disorder and my anxiety and the adhd , it makes it hard to Handel dealing with that many people that I do not know, and I can't Handel it very well,
What should I do, I'm also about to be going to court to get full custody of my daughter
Why aren't you guys upping the playback speed? I don't think I watch any informative video at normal speed anymore 🤔
Recently I tried to work as Receptionist, was sacked after 5 days, what should I do?
I am a teacher but always forgetting everythings
I have adhd and arthritis . What should I do
1.)fitness coach
2.)try something creative
3.)a paid risk taker (youtube,
4.)constant adaptation
5.)the right amount of intensity (fast paced environments)
6.)look for a job
I work as a custodian and iv been doing it for a long time I want something different and more pay and a new boss that doseint go around telling people I'm slow minded I may be but I do grate at what I do I get compliments all the time I have the quiet Depression and I'm not hyper at all add I want help but can't find it 😢
Try going to the local community college and taking some aptitude tests in the career counseling department. They might help you find something new that you didn’t even know about. And help you get trained it. You deserve it!
I ALWAYS wanted to become an independent animator but got discouraged quickly when I was a teen for "thinking too big, not being good enough" and I quit
This is just making me want to get back into it all over again. I was my HAPPIEST when I'd make animations, and people actually liked them too!!
I just gotta get out of this rut I'm in because of my own insecurities because I don't trust myself (because I'm afraid of my impulsivity)
This was an amazing video and I'm going to try and apply this to myself. Take risks, be excited and show everyone what I can make [:
Nice! I love it. Maybe we can meet later down the road to discuss some animation (as you can see I do quite a bit of it myself..but am by no means an expert ^^). Just a little advice: I wouldn't try and tackle your whole thing at once, if you know what I mean. Baby steps, combined with consistency, especially if your going to do something independently, are your keys to success. I wish you lots of luck on your journey, this is really comparable for me with this youtube channel so I can really relate. All the best! Nik
@@adhdvision Oh that would be awesome!! I'm currently working on a big project, but like you said, baby steps. I've currently just been writing down all my ideas so I can organize them later and then start thumbnailing/storyboarding
I've recently begun organizing my thoughts instead of taking them in all at once and becoming overwelmed
[: I hope to see you around on UA-cam! I haven't seen all your vids yet, but so far, it's helped me SO much
I'm working in management and I feel lost
I want to know what it’s like to graduate but it’s too bad I have adhd
Its true that the education system lacks in support for people with adhd, however that doesn't mean that you can't make it! Even though its a struggle, lots of people (myself included) have managed to graduate by following specific guidelines for working with your ADHD. I suggest you check out my ADHD Morning Routine video, I think it could help!
I would love to do an adhd UA-cam channel
I am living my dream :)
i want to be a navy seal a surgen
Yeah but I came here for a quick video for info and the into almost completely lost me
хорошая инфа, но я бы изменила подачу немного и видеоряд, думаю, что станет больше просмотров :D сорри, у меня адд
Hi i was wondering if you have any way of me getting in touch with you i have some questions for you that will help me alot more
Hi. R ADHD medications harmful fr brain
100% commission sales jobs are fuuuuuuuuun. It’s nerve racking but one can have zero education or experience and make 6 figures in a few short months. Learning what you’re selling is the hard part and to be good with people but honestly sales can be learned for those who aren’t natural at it.
Im in a fast paced job now which I love meeting different people different age groups etc. However the down side is they throw everything on you at once. I have to do something regularly to remember. If they told me real quick on how to do it when the trouble shoot comes up and havent used it for 2 weeks I forget and tend to panick inside and freeze. I hate this. When they show me again they get irritated and I try to write it down as they ramble it off. Than guess what? I lose the notes. Ugh this is so upsetting. Also in the past I accepted low paying jobs because I felt they were safe and I didnt want to disappoint anyone but felt like a gerble in a wheel. Miserable and Bored out of my mind but scared to take risks because a lot of jobs are sink or swim. Is thete any suggestions? Sorry didnt want to ramble. Maybe im the only one who feels this way.
You are not alone.
I was in lots of jobs where they quickly explain something you only need once in a while... and know what you mean.
I still didnnt find the Wright job.
I promesed myself to find one by the New year
Crap!!! I forgot what I was going to comment😅
I am a bingo caller :D
Anyone here a doctor ???
Nope to last 5. Even if I like deadlines.
U are prolly already looking for that comment that says: "I'm reading the comments already cuz I got adhd"
