I have adhd diagnosed at 5. Also diagnosed w/ pmdd as at 18 yrs. 😢suffer every dang month!!

Spot on. This speaks to my mum s experience

Thanks for the short form. Now you just have to divide the long rambling videos into manageable bite-sized videos.

What's PMDD?

I have both adhd and PMDD

Is Massachusetts the only place to get adhd medication? I am 75 this year, was thru years of adjustments to now about 20 years of successful functioning on medications. But now there is no treatment available. I need health and normalcy and I know how that arrives with medications. I am suffering without treatment. Where do I go for treatment. I am not allowed to get medical treatments. With the changes and systems I am denied service for my years of successful treatment. Directions please!

I tell all relatives or friends to always tell me 30 min or 1 hour before they need me or to be there. Then forget.. If they do it right, it works

At point 20 about impressing grandma or mom.. or my sister or my cousin😢 trying to get it together my entire life.. Until diagnosed about age 45. Still... hurts and OK most of the time, but still sometimes off task and nothing gets done is so depressing

An MD told me that ADHD only occurs in very bright people. I don't feel bright. I cannot get it together.

My ferrari brain just doesn´t like old broken roads with speed limits, that millions of others drove for thousands of years. It neither wants to be driven to come from A to B like for everyday tasks... it´s just not made for things like that! A Ferrari ist made for racing on max speed on racetracks or to enjoy and occupy new ways through the Alps in Europe!!! ...I know what I'm talking about, because I´m from Austria. Love your books and everything I can learn from you! I got ADHD mixed type myself, as do my 2 - not so little - girls and my dad. My live challenge - where I grow, develop strategies and offer help - is to practice as psychology Coach, Trainer and psychologic Education especially for adults with ADHD. ...sorry for my english, but as I mentioned its a foreign language for me... A life full of love, happiness, growing, speed and new developments to you all! Marie-Theres

very informative - couple comments --- the dr’s comments on ‘how to find meds during the shortage’, are not realistic pharmacies will not tell you if they have meds available you cannot order in advance driving around at random doesn;t work there are no real patterns to when it may be available. also you can;t easily change from one med to another without a doctor visit (assuming you knew a certain one was available, and would work (usually you know neither thing))

i interrupt when i am listening and i don',t want to forget the person's point- so, let's discuss it now! kind of thing. i have met many folks and we have interrupting in common and it's like a no-big, short-hand and its awesome. neurotypicals sure have problems acclimating...hee

Great podcast. Thank you for sharing

In work-oriented discussions, if I've missed part of the conversation, I try to verbally reconstruct my understanding of what was said up to this point. All people are capable of missing details or focusing too strongly on a minor part of something so it's fairly natural for someone to have to repeat a portion of what they said. Also, this technique is a good way to recap a conversation and verify shared understanding even if you did get everything on the first pass. In less task-oriented discussions (such as general socializing), there are often fewer important details so it's less expected that you'll need things repeated. I have found that most people, regardless of neurotype forget almost everything from a conversation immediately after it ends. The one thing that people tend to take away is the most common emotion that they felt during the discussion. So, don't worry so much about getting everything "right" or catching every word -- instead focus on trying to gauge how the person speaking feels about what they're talking about, validate that feeling (if appropriate), and then try to repeat back to them something they just said in the form of a question such as asking for elaboration about a specific thing they said.

Tangents are Oversharing? Never knew that. I thought oversharing was revealing too much info about a topic.e.g. My father would shout at us. And he overate.

Never thought interrupting was specific to ADD. My father, who stuttered when I was young, would tell us not to interrupt him when he would speak. Active listening, therapy, and asking to repeat back what I've heard to try to understand and remember have been somewhat helpful somewhat. Sometimes I write down important things to remember. Sometimes I say too much and need to be more concise to let the other person speak.

My husband gets furious with me for interrupting , but now that he has been around my siblings with a.dh.d , i think hes starting to understand. He also noticed he does it too!!

I take a different view, if I interrupt it's because you are boring me to death, why should I listen to boring people drone on about god knows what for ages on end in a meaningless loop, if you dont want me to interrupt you should hone your conversational skills, I've had enough of having to accommodate 'neurotypical people' in their organised world, time they met us half way or bugger off.

Your anecdote about the reality of what happens when us ADHDers finally sit down to pay bills and have to do the 'reset password' thing .... Dude, you've been spying on me, right?!

Wow, still 47 minutes long. The people who need to listen to this simply can't. How about dividing these up into shorter sections (after recording?) to make it more manageable. Also the only reason I'm still subscribed is because I am waiting for the penny to drop and for you to change the format from these long rambling talks to something more manageable for actual people with ADD/ADHD... still waiting though.

Hi I'm Debbie I am from UK

Sorry I don't do Facebook but listening

60 y/o w/f here..this is such a great subject as I have had ADD (I do not have the hyper part) all my life. I am a definite "interrupter! Also can get loud! I also think I do this as I will forget what I'm thinking! I live in Central Texas 🤠

Knowing is powerful. Even if my life as an adult has been 'successful" it explains so much about 39 moves (Im 61 diagnosed last year 60). Understanding why's and the reasons potentially for the extreme difference in how I was 'treated' by my parents compared to my two siblings. (not positive difference). I have dropped all pretensions of fitting in, and masking. Since this I have been free. I love my life, content, in my solitude, coming out into the world when and as I need want or choose. Me and my animals. ritalin showed me what a brain with space was...wow. I take it if I want or feel the need desire for space, and some times if I know something might be hard to handle. great psychologists support and amazing how my circle of friends is more with my own group. found my group finally

Interrupting has a purpose in processing the conversation. If we can’t engage, we absorb/understand less.

Why men! 🤷‍♀️

Yes get that rhino skin on people. Everyone will judge you even the people saying they want to help

Im acoustic

Thank you 😊

Like I could relate to everything, I have set up a test time but I feel so much like being an imposter, like someone who distorts her memories to fit the signs

My ADHD when I went to get help, I thought it was anxiety. I was shocked that I had MDD, not just mild..severe. Everyone if you describe me to call me a positive person, a person who gives good advice. In fact, in some of the groups I’m in they call me. Ms. positivity and Ms. sunshine. But I’ll come home and cry myself to sleep. When I’m always happy to see you when I go to parties on the dancing people will say I’m high in something. I will tell them I’m high on me. I’m terrified of any drugs or alcohol, and I never touched any of those things. I don’t know how I would react if I’m under any influence. Yet people ask you that sometime or the other I was on drugs. I’ve never touched anything I’ve never even seen illegal drugs. Not even marijuana. I was always looking at ways to heal myself through my behavior. Boopropria saved me.

I have been ADHD my entire life. Although I was a straight a student and skipped a couple of classes I will still called stupid. The hurtful thing is everybody around me exploited my ADHD. Because academically I was gifted, but I was not hand-eye coordinated properly. I was exploited in that people will steal my homework, ask me to do their homework, people who are in college even though I was in high school, asked me to do their paper I would let me do it. But then they’ll call me stupid still. When I had a hard time listening because I have perforated eardrum’s that was always leaking, they thought it was because it was deaf. I was partially deaf in one ear. And they will say things about me in front of me thinking I’m not hearing. However, my hypersensitivity was so severe that I could hear, faucets dripping, people whispering about me in the next room. When I would confront people who were talking about me, they will lie to me and tell me I’m delusional. No one thought of taking me to the hospital or anything as a child. I wanted to please my mother who hated me because I looked like her mother in law, so I denied that I have a problem. I did everything in my power to please her. I only got better when I left home I’ve got Help on my own. But then I met my husband who insisted I was perfect. I believe him, but he was just using me to become a US citizen. Eventually, the marriage ended. I was left alone with three kids. My depression was so bad it affected by kids. It was my son as a teenager insisted that I go get get help. He said you are super mom hardly sleep if you have three jobs. I told him it was because I need to take care of my kids. He said, please get help you are depressed. I don’t have time for it. He said you’re probably having anxiety is because your ADHD is not a super power, it’s a symptom of so much i went through. When he was an adult and my teenage daughter get nagging me, I sought help at age 52. It breaks my heart when I think I should’ve gotten to help before I have children and this way they won’t be so stressed about their mother.

A 1-hour video for ADHD people? Are you kidding me? I'm looking for 4 to 5 minutes at the max. You lost me at why is.

I gave up on planning because I never really did things on my plan and it started to make me feel bad. So I keep stopping

Since I lost my Adrenal Gland I didn't get anything done including urgend tasks. I thought 1 year of being ill and I lost my schedulimg flow... But maybe I just included the deadline rush in my plan. I should up my Cortisol Dose before the deadline, at least until it gets better 😂

It’s pretty crazy how accurate this is. You clearly know your clients well. Most of my life I was stuck on step 1 - I didn’t have the self esteem or belief that I could overcome the challenges. A few years ago with the help of medication and assistance I’ve finally been able to overcome that. Now I am stuck on step 2 - I still self sabotage as a maladaptive coping mechanism to protect myself. I absolutely believe I can overcome the problems now, but I choose not to put of fear and need for safety. This goes in cycles and I downward spiral down a lot, and then it takes me a long time to gradually crawl back up again. I’m at that beginning of that crawl back up today, at least I hope so. Thanks, and keep doing great work with your clients and on this channel. I’m sure people will appreciate it as I have!

Me!!!!!!!

I “suck” 2ml of glutathione that has been suspended in liposomes. (Buy a good brand) Enough gets into the brain and it greatly improves REM sleep. I take it in the morning and it works the following night. I hope it works for you!

Making your way to the top step by step

I'm confused by the comment at 47:00, is it suggesting that over-sharers are toxic?

Thanks for talking about adhd in a parent

Amen 👍🏼

This had just blown my mind.

Internet blockers, please let me know.

This was a great clip, but I would love to hear more about what my reactions should be. Where can I find the full video

Makes a whole lot of sense , vs “oh it’s going to be inherited by your parents”

I am so happy that I sent my son back to his father. These kids are terrible and don't like authority. As a result, the other kids have to get therapy. He can never come back to my home. I am done.
