I often felt worthless as a child because my teachers would become visibly frustrated with me. I didn’t know how to explain to them that I wasn’t doing it intentionally and how extremely difficult it was for me too. What made it worst for me was that my family knew I struggled with ADHD and even mocked me for it, but didn’t take the steps to get me diagnosed and treated. I’m 24 now but I still get flashbacks of how neglectful my environment was

I have ADHD, as does my dad, my husband and both our kids. I think I need to post this for my daughters-in-law! One thing I learned from my dad is that you have to make sure to get the person's full and undivided attention before talking to them. And even then our attention might wander! Communication is absolutely key, though; both talking and listening.

The part about useful "distress tolerance skills" @ around 11:50 really rings true for me. One thing that works best for me when I become overwhelmed (and unhinged) is to go for an intense bike ride (big hills, long distances, etc.). Going for a hike in the woods and/or playing with my dogs for an hour or more also does the trick. Basically, any intense physical activity will do.

Thank you for this, Dr. Snipes. When I was a young child, at the beginning of the school year, my horrible 3rd grade teacher told me that I was not as "bad" as she had been warned by the other teachers I'd had. At the time, I said to myself "what is she talking about?" It was likely my ADHD that drove my prior teachers nuts, and at 49, I am just figuring this stuff out. I also think this dovetails into some of the scapegoating abuse I experienced throughout childhood. I often said to my late Mom, "I just want to be (and feel) 'normal.'" I knew (and was told often) that something was just not right with me.

I’m sorry that happened to you. It really shows how ignorant people are, especially about mental health. Teachers were one of my worst fears growing up because of that. I felt worthless and like I couldn’t measure up to their favorite students who were more engaged and “smart.” Now I work as a registered nurse in my dream specialty and a lot of people look up to me, but I still get small flashbacks from those rude comments.

I wanted to divorce my ADHD husband because we didn’t know he had it. How could he be so messy? Why can’t he help me keep the house tidy? Even when we knew what was happening, different behaviors were so difficult. But he’s a wonderful person and we have found accommodations. I put baskets in strategic places he clutters up-just don’t make them too big because they have to be decluttered. Wastebaskets have to be placed near where he sits. There’s a place to put his keys. I’ve learned to tell him when I need quiet.

Both me and my boyfriend have adhd and I’ve done a lot of work to get over social anxiety. However and I’ve struggled with this too, he seems to get fixated on one thing and nothing else matters. For example he’s into the magic the gathering card game and sometimes those games can go on for like 4 hours straight and I just don’t have the patience to play a game for hours like that. How do I tell him I’m not interested in that but wanna focus on the relationship we have and build some memories together. I understand we all have our things but seeing him and his friends play it can get emotionally draining because they get so into it. I’m 23 and I don’t wanna leave the relationship but it can be excruciating because he’s so infatuated with the game where to a point it’s fine, but I would much rather live in the real world 90% of the time. I also helped him clean his room and the next time I went to his house it was so messy as in clothes were everywhere and I really do care for him but it can be hard

Then today, i kinda transitioned back into my weekly routine and realized I was supposed to be doing something important. I feel like the day slowed my whole week down and I lost track of time. Why are my symptoms more recognizable and prominent as I've gotten older(32)?
@DocSnipes
@DocSnipes Ай бұрын
ADHD symptoms can become more recognizable and prominent as you get older for several reasons. Here are some key points to consider: * Increased Responsibilities: As adults, responsibilities often increase, including work, family, and social obligations. Managing these responsibilities can be more challenging for someone with ADHD, making symptoms more noticeable. * Hyperfocus: People with ADHD can experience hyperfocus, where they become intensely focused on a task to the exclusion of everything else. This can lead to losing track of time and neglecting other important tasks. * Time Management: Adults with ADHD often struggle with time management and organization. This can result in difficulties maintaining a routine and keeping track of important tasks. * Transitions: Transitioning from one task to another can be particularly difficult for individuals with ADHD. This can lead to delays and a sense of losing time. * Increased Awareness: As you grow older, you may become more aware of your symptoms and how they impact your daily life. This increased awareness can make the symptoms feel more prominent. Tips for Managing ADHD Symptoms 1. Prioritize Tasks: Make a list of tasks and prioritize them based on importance. This can help you stay focused on what needs to be done. 2. Set Alarms and Reminders: Use alarms and reminders to help manage time and transitions between tasks. 3. Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps can make them less overwhelming. 4. Create a Routine: Establishing a daily routine can help provide structure and reduce the likelihood of forgetting important tasks. 5. Seek Support: Consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor who specializes in ADHD to develop strategies tailored to your needs.

It's challenging to explain ADHD to others, especially if they haven't experienced it themselves. Seeking help from professionals who specialize in ADHD can be very beneficial, as they are trained to understand and provide effective support. Online communities and support groups can also be valuable, offering a space where you can connect with others who share similar experiences. Remember, you're not alone, and there are people who understand and can help.
