Is there a list of the books somewhere

I feel hopeless because no one I know can understand my situation. I normally get accused for being inefficient but even I feel like I'm not normal but people just judge me. "just try to focus more." "stop being so lazy" "you just don't care."

ADHD is an absolutely horrible thing to have. You have it your whole life and it’s like having someone next to you that keeps on getting in the way of your life

I feel like saying "Suicide cuts across all socio-economic levels" misrepresents how much higher the risk for suicide is for the poor

Working memory deficit is a bitch. Over and over again I fuck up at work because I can't pay attention to what I'm doing and it destroys my self esteem

My ADHD caused my personal financial collapse. I can’t go on any further. All my life ADHD has caused many problems and this was the last straw. I’m about to make an exit from life

Life is so hard with ADHD. I would do everything for it to erase it out of me. Since I accepted it, it only made all worse.

I have ADHD and have experienced a great deal of what was mentioned in this presentation. I was diagnosed in my 50's and this presentation made me feel very "normal" knowing that I am not alone in my experiences throuout my life. Thank you!

I have decided that I will not compare myself to other people who don't have ADHD. I can do what I can do only

Every thing in this video was so on the point it actually hurt listening to it. It all makes sense. I know I have Dyslexia but now I know that I probably have ADHD too. I worked at a consultant company as a programmer the last two years but lost every single contract I could get after just two or tree months and in the end, last spring I got fired and have not had a job since. I live of the money I earned during that time but I cant do that for ever. I will try again now at a new company or start my own company.

Oh dear. Both, "don't belong", and, "better for all if I wasn't here", have been featuring in my thoughts a lot recently. Haven't got as far as the how and the where, I am restrained by my children's existence, and their children. I'm like a man with one foot attached to the floor. No matter how I run, walk or shuffle, I just go round in circles. I thought the ADHD might be the nail, but it seems to be more complicated than that.

Hi, am here because my son had ADHD and he just committed suicide may 22, 2024 and he was 21. Am trying my best to understand why he did this, he did tell me back when he was 10 years old that he wanted to take he’s life because he said he couldn’t understand school and I did talk to him about it but I guess it wasn’t good enough. Am feeling heartbroken and wishing I could of done more

I have ADHD, bipolar, mood disorder, and major depression. i feel and it has been going on far too long. Not even my own families understands. And what hurts me the most is when my significant other constantly belittles me, puts me down, tells me i will never be successful with my home business reselling what he calls “trash” or “junk” ( i resell second hand items mainly brand name clothings on ebay(“), blames me for his life not being at where he likes cause “i can’t help him”…then i started to become more depressed, feels like giving up on life, don’t have any motivation to work inside my small crowded garage, feels overwhelmed and feels like i am a waste of life on earth who mAkes my kids and families life hard for just being here alive. I have attempted and thought of suicide on a daily basis…thought of getting mens ties and tying it into knots and hanging it in thr garage and hang my own neck…but the thought of suffocating scares me, and i attempted on mixing chemicals and building myself a big enough box to enclosed myself inside hoping it works but was also a failed attempt. People like me all we really want is for the ones we love to understand us and even if its hard to understand because they are “normal” and will never understand….but at least TRY to understand with compassion. I am so tire of begging to have anyone understands me cause everyone i have met throughout my life ends up hurting me. So i have isolated myself in the dark just depressed and trying to fight this devil inside me. So the only thing that i find comforting in my own opinion is when i use the sewing needles and pinching it down my risk and scraping it down over and over until blood comes out then i feel better after that. I know it sounds crazy but everytime i am in that mind state i hurt myself to feel better. Its like punishing myself for pissing someone off and afterward i feel better.

Thank you for putting this up. I hope more people see this

This was incredibly helpful. I thought i was alone but they is so many people out there that feel how i do. Unloved not good enough ,lazy, traumatic, selfish,angry ,aggressive. People with family members who can't understand or wont for the damage caused. Course we don't want to kill are selfs but its so painful to live. My son saves me everyday. I hope I'll always feel that way.

I feel like my brain has a constant white noise that I can't shut off. I don't want to be trapped in this mind any longer. There's too much hurt.

This video is such a hidden gem of statistics and research and proof as well as lived experiences. Thank you.

Beautiful and perfect on research.

Very interesting and affirming presentation. I oscillate multiple times a day, every day, since the early 1980s, between feeling a fleeting glimmer of self worth, and sudden, intense plummets into The Hole. Years ago just a slight dip *hurt* a lot, physically and emotionally. Nowadays it’s just how I am, and I’ve had to accept it. It hurts longer and deeper and more pervasively, but the physical aspect is blunted. (Except for flare ups of chronic sciatica and digestive issues from chronic stress.)

Amazing video. Thank you for this. Lots of great info was taken from this. ✨

In my life, it’s just me and my doctor that know or atleast believe I have ADHD, which means that in my life, realistically there’s no one that can actually help though. Tuff that everyone views it as a stigma, as much as I try to convince myself it’s all in my head and try to reprogram myself I look back every year at minimal progress and the same feeling of being lost in all areas of my life still :/

I have to say I have so much in common with the statements

I am born with it and when i was in 1rst grade everyday i could not go to recess just because i could not sit down 2nd grade same thing 3rd grade i also got nit picked just for not being able to sit down or i was a little fidgety and i whisper under my breath what i just said and i cant help it and everyone is mean to because of it

I have been struggling with ADHD and along with depression and anxiety with suicidal thoughts and most recently panic attacks i been having them more 9ften to this day as my suicidal thoughts and it just seems to get worse i been talking to a therapist for 2 months now and it really has not been to great i want this to be gone i wish i had my happy life again

Can you please help me? I've been on a binge of these adhd vídeos and I just relate so much. I've been having some serious suicidal thoughts recently, sense of hopelessness, I really want to get evaluated and treated, but I'm in a hole I can't dig out of.

Remember, it's a condition you can't control because it is neurological. Imagine a car that runs on autopilot is not perfect and needs repairs too! With that being said, breathe don't be so hard on yourself and try again. I get it too, were here for a reason! People aren't as tolerable as they should be and how they respond really is a reflection of themselves. Not you!!! You are all capable of great things, ideas, so choose life! ❤

Thank you. Love you

Good video. But how does this help with treatment , if the people who do the care don't know or believe this ? Meaning doctors , nurses ..

Yes, my son Tanner, 28 Pending a divorce, stopped using pot. 4-2021 rip

Every month, when I go through my PMS, I feel so sad I wanna die. And I have ADHD and a mood disorder.

I wonder how other countries deal with mental health issues and adhd. It seems like America has not done a great job, how do different cultures address misbehavior and social difficulties? Are people more accepting in other parts of the world?

Ima just white knuckle it for a month till I can get seen face to face....I can never get my camera to work

i rlly hit the jackpot as a trans woman with ADHD and major depression huh

💔

Where is the onformation FOR ADHDers?! You are literally talking to caretakers. How do ADHDers improve their situation when pills and counselling dont work.

I have ADHD and I'm enjoying my final hours bye world

Although there's interesting information here, I'm having a ton of trouble trusting the information presented because it is presenting statistics in extremely prejudicial ways that have been proven to be prejudicial. The gun ownership statement in particular was troubling. The US doesn't have a database of guns owned in the country, so it has no clue what percent of guns are owned per state/city/etc. So years ago the people who crunch the numbers decided to assume that gun ownership rates were roughly the same as gun suicide rates and to base all gun ownership data on that assumption. Now don't get me wrong, it might be a valid assumption, but you can't make an assumption that is the root of all of your data and then use that SAME data to prove the original assumption. It's junk math. Hopefully, it's self-evident why that is junk math. Anyway, there are tons of other reasons I have questions about the quality of research with several statistics presented here. If I know that 100% of the statistics with which I am familiar that are presented here are considered junk data for several reasons, how on earth can I trust the statistics they present here with which I am not familiar? I'm not sure if they are deliberately and knowingly using junk data to prove a point or if they are just lazy and are using commonly quoted, but disproven stats, but either way it is perfectly clear they have put in zero effort into ensuring the information they are presenting is actually accurate, and it puts everything they say into doubt for me.

Suicide is for quitters

Dont commit suicide for Financial,as I have not observed any begger in India attepting this. Lotta love.

I am so tired of life I feel like everything is a uphill battle life has delt me the shitist hand I have no edition because of afhd and I am so alone life sucks

ADHD is an absolutely horrible thing to have. You have it your whole life and it’s like having someone next to you that keeps on getting in the way of your life
