Yes let’s stop glamorizing … that’s why people don’t take our pain serious
I’m not gonna lie, this vid triggers me. Yeah, all that stuff is true. I work twice as hard to go the same distance with neurotypical skills, but I’m a master mind when it comes to learning a new skill set or another language. That’s a superpower. I just heard whine whine whine, blah blah blah when I watched this. A person is only victim to the limitations you put on yourself. Think about it, a person with a physical disparity would never push this. Disappointed that someone with adhd couldn’t make more valuable content.
I'm laying in bed and thinking what could I make for lunch today, and now I have my answer! A decomposed lasagna with some cashew nut bechamel ❤️ Thank you. Now my ADHD can scream about something else. 😁
Ok. Vegan ADHDer here trying to get back in the kitchen. Can you help???
It’s not fking cute! You said ADHD can derail your day. Mine derails my life!
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and it’s definitely always been there.
There was a myth, I think it’s a myth, where there was a different type of ADHD called “ADHD with Hyper Intelligence” and that’s what I was diagnosed with.
I’ve been unmedicated for 17 years and if I wasn’t super cognizant it it’s existence it would have definitely effected my life negatively. I still struggle with the common symptoms like distraction, low emotional intelligence (at times) and a difficultly organizing and keeping schedule, but it also helps me hyper-fixate and think very fast. As an engineer working on site this has been to my advantage
But again, only because I have always known it was a factor and I also understand my “high IQ” mitigates some of the common issues
So even as a person with ADHD I get that I have it better than most with it
My adhd costs me ALOT of money. It's not cute at all
What I hate most about adhd is other's reactions… I was told so often that I use my adhd as an excuse…
And the severe frustration… dang it's a struggle
I did some digging on ADHD and realised I may have some of those symptoms. I have a really hard time trying to do anything especially studying, can't focus at all.
Thank you so much for speaking to this. Big same.
I feel like when people say that ADHD is a superpower, they’re trying to make you view ADHD in a more positive light, (because it’s difficult to be positive about), but at the same time it completely invalidates the genuine struggle of just trying to be a functioning human being in society. I wish people would take it more seriously, because I feel like if it was, and we got the help and acceptance we need, we could be more positive about having ADHD, as we wouldn’t beat ourselves up about having it as much.
Oh my goodness you explained it perfectly! I can relate to having a classroom of loud toddlers in my head. So true.
I take meds for my ADHD and when I tell you it feels like I can actual function it's amazing. My brain normally feels like it's running at high speed nonstop and it leads to me being overwhelmed frequently. I either freeze because everything feels like it needs my attention NOW or I follow my brains little side quests and an hour later I realize I'm not doing what I should be. With my meds I can either focus on that one thing or prioritize if I have more than one.
What a good description of ADHD, I did not know you had it.
WHOA BOOBA 👀
Yeah, society wasn't built for us neurodiverse peeps. Then we're shite on because 'we just don't get it'. Yeah, walk a couple feet in our shoes and you'll soon realize how good they have it.
I must say, the one thing that helped with my symptoms, was changing my diet. Once I stopped eating animal products, it was like night and day difference. Does it cure you? HELL no, but sure as heck makes the symptoms more bearable.
omg i feel your pain, i go through the same thing
I think the meds are speed which make you even more hyper. You need to practice concentrating. It is a skill that you can learn.
When you find yourself losing attention, catch yourself and refocus on what you were doing. The internet is really bad for training you to lose your focus. You are trying to look up one thing and then go off on all different tangents that catch your eye. Make up your mind to get done with one thing before moving on to the next, or least get through it until you are too tired.
I think it is often a response to stress and feeling overwhelmed. You don't know which way to turn. Just relax and keep focusing on the task at hand.
You know what's a super power? Invisibility. Anyone who says ADHD is a super power needs to chill. One of my favorite YouTubers said the other day that anxiety is a super power because it means you're more sensitive. Nah man, it makes everything harder.
I got diagnosed two weeks ago as a 25 yr old woman and I’m still reeling. My symptoms arnt super hyper so I wasn’t noticed, I’m still struggling to really comprehend how my mind works and not to feel bad about it. Seeing more women talk about it online makes me feel less alone and confused. I also feel like neurotypical people around me don’t want me to talk about it, they don’t understand how world changing it is for me – I’ve had a lot of “don’t stop trying though” or “you still have to do things you don’t want to do” and it’s making me feel guilty and lost. I just wish I could talk and feel how I really am without all the masking, I don’t even know who I am without it.
ADHD is no joke for sure but that may be the thing that allows you to multitask, cooking and tell us about it. Maybe 😊
Me watching this video because I was checking my email while trying to work and I got a youtube notification and proceeded to watch shorts for the next 30 minutes
Great video, but all I could focus on is what you’re cooking. Looks yummy. Recipe?
Same but I would say it's my super power and my kryptonite. My obsession, my ability to forgive and forget, my always on play style when playing basketball most likely comes from adhd. The best example is my job coaching as I usually say I would be fired if I wasn't so good because I'm always late but when I'm there I'm always on and engaged which makes me Excell at my job
I also have (pretty bad) ADHD, but am unfortunately not on any medication, because I didn't tolerate them well (horrible headaches, extreme loss of appetite, worsening of my tic disorder, high blood pressure, etc). Luckily, some of my symptoms gotten a little better over time, but I still have tough days. If you're not on medication, focus on proper nutrition, enough sleep and getting your steps in (preferably outdoors)!
