@radwatchman: This was going to stay in the drafts, but I figured it could help someone else who’s struggling to know that they’re not alone. There’s other people experiencing the same thing.

I was diagnosed at 6, but Ritalin was “experimental” at the time. Went unmedicated for almost 40 years. Battled depression as well. It sucks to consistently feel like you’re failing yourself and those around you. You become the joke. Oh she’s late again, she lost her whatever again, she’s so unorganized, she forgot xyz. The racing thoughts and insomnia. I get it. Trauma makes me funny, ADD makes me question my place in this world and self worth. My heart goes out to you 🤍

I feel you, man. I got it too. It's like wanting to do everything, and nothing, all at the same time. Being hyper-aware yet still unable to focus. Ambitious and creative but paralyzed by procrastination and overthinking. It's paradoxical, and frustrating.

Radical acceptance. You have to love yourself my dude. I’m deadly serious. You’re not broken. You just need to start forgiving yourself.

Thank you for sharing all of this, I know it sucks to feel this way, but I appreciate your willingness to be real and honest about what you’re going through. I was finally diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago at 34 years old. I spent 34 years knowing I was incredibly intelligent, but also being depressed and anxious for not being able to just do the things I needed to do. High school had enough structure for me to get good grades and get through, but when I got to college I literally thought I might have a brain tumor or something because my brain just would not cooperate and I started really struggling in my classes, etc. I’ve been on Vyvanse for 5 years now, and while I certainly still have plenty of struggles, the depression and anxiety have subsided and I’m able to function most days. While ADHD sucks for all of the reasons you mentioned, it’s also gotten me to where I am today. It’s both my kryptonite and my superpower. There’s never been a topic that I didn’t love going down the research rabbit hole on, which has given me a depth and breadth of knowledge on so many topics. I’m a collector of hobbies and become proficient at new ones very quickly. At work, I can learn about all of the various processes and how they intertwine quickly, and my natural pattern recognition allows me to see potential issues before most other people. It’s also allowed me to better support the ADHD people on my team at work and help them work through their own challenges (I’ve started calling my team “Casie’s Home for Neurodivergent Women” - I’ll have to change the name once our first dude joins the team 🤣). It’s taken me a long time to get to this point, but I’m actually grateful for my ADHD now — most days anyway. I hope that one day you’ll be able to get to that point, too. Just know that we’re all here enjoying your content and cheering you on in your journey!

Hi, it’s Rachael :
This video made me cry. As someone who was diagnosed at 30 just a few years ago, so much made sense. But it also broke me in a lot of ways. I deal with a lot of shame from my executive disfunction, my dopamine purchases, etc. From these comments, it looks like we aren’t alone. I’m glad you’re in therapy. I hope you can find medication that does help. Give yourself some grace and know that some of the best parts of you also come from the ADHD, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Always keep it honest and real. Give yourself grace when you can. Talk about it to get it out of your head for a short time. You’re doing great man. Always here if you need an ear.

I just got diagnosed the other month. Im 21. The way i always saw it presented made it seem like it made people a little eccentric, goofy and aloof? But in reality i feel behind, unorganised and so limited by it. Thanks for sharing this, you have found the words I have always struggled to put together and as sad as it is it’s really soothing to find someone else can relate and is going through what I am too.

I don’t know you personally, but I am a big fan of your content. These struggles are so real, and as someone who has fought the same fight, I look forward to you finding your inner peace. The other side of this exists, and you’re taking the right steps. You’ve just got to love yourself, fuck-ups and all. The world already loves you, why are you trying to be a hipster and stay out of that group? I wish I wrote better jokes.

Thank you for being so open with this. I completely get it. I have undiagnosed ADHD personally and it does suck brother.

It takes a lot to be vulnerable so I appreciate seeing this. Being accountable to yourself matters. This is such a real take and good on you being able to put it out there even if it was meant to stay in the drafts. Mental health is so important and there’s nothing wrong with getting help. Love this video!

You’re deciding to fight for yourself 👏🏼 It’s okay to fail & not always have the strength to fight. Just don’t give up Rad! You can do this thing called life , hold on.

I've dealt with ADHD my entire life and it's incredibly frustrating. every treatment option fucks with my sleep or ramps up my anxiety, so it's a full-time job changing/maintaining the right habits. I appreciate you sharing your experience brother. if you ever want to vent or trade grievances, feel free to reach out!

Thanks for sharing, Rad. I feel like it’s a ball in a pinball machine, everything has some sort of intent but the results are happenstance and results are almost accident. The side quests, addictions, anxiety, panic, and negative thoughts are a real fight.

I didn't get diagnosed until my 40s. The Ritalin did wonders for quieting that incessant voice telling me I'm an idiot and a failure. But nothing touched the depression until I discovered Joyous (very low dose ketamine). Now I quit drinking and I think I'm feeling better than I ever have. I really hope you find some relief 💜
