Sorry about the music - I can't change it now.

Daydreaming was always more exciting than school.

OMG. Ppl at work was always like "How was your weekend?" & I could NOT recall to save my life. Just like well shit . what did I do this weekend.

Listening to a stranger on the internet describe your entire life is really surreal. Never even considered the possibility of me having ADHD until recently, I was always told that people with ADHD were always rambunctious and couldn't sit still. I was nothing like that, I was always mellow and daydreaming. I tried to get treated for different anxiety disorders, it never worked out. It was so frustrating knowing something was wrong but nobody could figure it out, teachers, parents, counselors, hell even doctors. Thanks for making this video, I'm gonna bring this newly discovered info to my doctor to get evaluated, I think I may have found out whats actually wrong with me. I wish more people knew about this stuff

3:12 1. Frequent daydreaming 3:34 2. Appearing spaced-out 3:44 3. stimulus hypersensitivity 4:21 3. (Again?) slower thinking processes 5:02 4. slower response time 5:27 5. working memory impairment 5:59 6. time blindness 6:16 7. Zoning out 6:50 8. trouble with instructions 7:12 9. low stress tolerance 7:40 10. Can't cope with complicated stuff 8:19 Bonus: Co-morbid depression

Not a slow learner. Everybody always said I was really smart. Just could never get my work done. Also did really poorly on standardized tests because they were timed.

“You’re always daydreaming” Me, slowly zoning out and snapping back: w-what?

I will never forget the day I googled “daydreaming disorders”. I didn’t know about adhd and I started to think all the other symptoms were just a part of my personality so it never occurred to me that it could be that. but the daydreaming part was weird so I spent hours researching causes for constant daydreaming and I also thought I had Alzheimer’s. Self diagnosing is a dangerous game lol. Whole time I had adhd

I got diagnosed with ADHD 18 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 9 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

How many of you spaced out, started the video again and started to read the comments below and started the video again? Yip I played the video more than 3 times and paused it a few times. I watched the video though.

I was just finally diagnosed with ADD...at 70 years old. That explains all that happened and didn’t happen in my life.

A lot of us were undiagnosed as kids which is really hard. My mother came down on me so so hard for struggling with getting schoolwork done. She was frequently abusive and my school difficulties were usually what set her off. At one point my grandmother told her that she thought I was struggling with focusing, but my mother dismissed it and insisted that I was doing it on purpose or something. I really wish someone would have caught on to what was wrong, but in the early 90s it just wasn't a thing that was commonly looked into. My mother took me to a primary doctor, told them I had an attitude problem, and without even talking to me they stuck me on antidepressants, and that was that.

Thank you for this. I always felt I had a mild case of ADD, not ADHD. There's tons out there on the hyperactive part, but that was never me. I'm low energy actually, mostly driven by the depression. This really helps to explain a lot.

YES about the instructions!! My boss could tell me 10 times how to do something but I find myself just nodding along. I CANNOT remember how to do something unless I actually do it! If it’s written down, at least I can refer back to it but I still struggle

I can't remember names really well, but I can always remember faces.

I am 41 yrs old and only recently been diagnosed. It makes me sad because my whole life I knew there was something wrong but did not know what it was. It has affected my life greatly. It is so nice to hear you talk about all these signs that I have and know that I am not alone. I also was the shy daydreaming zoned out mid conversation child/teen. It affected my job and my self-esteem, and if I had been diagnosed earlier, I think I would be in a very different place in life now. Anyway thank you so much for posting this and I hope you are doing well

I was just diagnosed with it at the age of 28. I started noticing signs she I was around 15 or 16. When I told my mom she said “but you did well in school.” I had to tell her that it doesn’t determine intelligence. I have a masters degree. I always drift off into daydreaming but I always somehow managed to do well in school.

I remember in school I would say to myself that “I’m going to concentrate this lesson” start listening to the teacher when all of a sudden I come to and realise I’m staring at the wall and everyone round me is doing work. So I have to lean into the guy next to me and ask “what are we doing?” Every day.

Its stigma too because everyone claims to have ADHD even when they do not and the people who actually have it don't talk about it because we try to not use it as an excuse even though it may be the primary cause of a lot of issues.

I had a sixth-grade teacher who diagnosed me with ADD, but he thought I was already so reserved and didn't want to exacerbate that more with the stigma of "special ed". So they held me back a year, instead of doing anything directly about it. At 68 I do have experience of things I know I've heard, but as you say, my brain didn't quite absorb it, and it's almost as if I wasn't aware. Thanx. You've reminded me of tendencies I still have because of ADD. There's advantages to be had in the challenges, for instance, slow thinkers are deeper thinkers.

I recently got diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and it honestly made me feel a lot better to know there was a reason for all of this.

Conversations for me are difficult because usually I miss quick snippets vs long drawn out moments. It's like my mind is in and out really quickly, so I can't follow key parts of peoples stories. Like... "Wait, who did you go to dinner with?" "Lori" "Oh.....where again??" "arby's." and then like 5 minutes later it's like... "you said that or she did?" A lot of times I feel really bad about this, and I will hide it. It's like, I can kinda follow the stories, but miss key details. I didn't know a co-worker's husband's name for SO LONG, because I dip in and out of stories so quickly.

one things ive noticed when having those "space out" moments while talking to people, sometimes i'll be 100% aware that im not paying attention, 100% aware that my vision is unfocused and my thoughts are elsewhere, yet i have to actually make a conscious effort (only slightly mind you) to refocus and get my head back in the game

Your video just described me perfectly. I'm 55 and believe I have inattentive adhd. Have only been diagnosed with long term (6 years or more at a time) low grade depression, which I always thought was not the whole story

As a child in the 80's, I was told I was lazy and unfocused for daydreaming and being awful at taking tests.

Sign 0.5: you're scrolling through the comment section before you've watched the first sign.

Literally cried at work because I couldn’t remember my managers instructions and she was getting irritated that I had to ask how to do it each time 🙁

This resonates so much.. I was diagnosed nearly 14 years ago and it’s not something I think about much anymore, but so much of this list hits home. Especially the memory issues; struggling to remember names, struggling to recall what I did when somebody asks how my day was, losing focus really easily watching a movie/listening to a podcast (and having to rewind loads). Also misplacing stuff and being serially late/disorganised generally. All stuff that’s pointed out, by co-workers, by my girlfriend etc. but I forget that it’s pretty typical stuff for someone with ADD/ADHD. I think it can be easy to look past as an adult partly because the negatives stand out ten fold when you’re a kid/a teenager and still in school. If you’re lucky, you come into adulthood and find your place a little bit more. Really nice to hear you talk about it and to be able to relate!

You're doing such an amazing thing! For years I thought I knew what ADHD is, but I only knew stereotypes... Thought I was just melancholic or chronically depressed, or just an alien for years. Now I'm down the ADHD rabbit hole, considering getting tested. You're the first person talking about being slow. Thank you.

6:27 them: *explain 5 min life story* me: *didnt hear shit* “dam thats crazy”

Spent entire childhood daydreaming, very sensitive child, introverted, always finally get things months after everyone else...I pretty much check all the boxes.

ADD isn’t a term anymore it’s been combined with adhd. The response time isn’t always true, especially if you have a combination of the two hyperactive and inattentive which I do. Meanwhile, if there’s something you EXTREMELY enjoy or find interesting, I find that I can take in complicated information a lot easier, quit easily actually. But with normal things it’s really hard, it’s kind of sad sometimes because I don’t think people quite understand the degree of these things and they just assume you’re just lazy or actually stupid. It can really hurt, like a lot.

I’ve recently been diagnosed and in my late 40s - it’s been quite empowering to be honest as it’s helped draw a line under a lot of negative experiences like school, previous jobs, relationships and I kind of feel vindicated now. It’s helped me discover and play to my strengths and pick my battles and a result I feel so much happier in my own skin. I advise anyone who has even the slightest inkling to go get help - it might just change your life 👍

When you have to lie during a job interview and say you're good with stress... ahahaha

Loud environments definitely give me anxiety. I carry a good pair of earplugs with me at all times. They can be a lifesaver.

A lot of what you said seems to resonate with me, im not diagnosed with any mental illness but have struggled mentally a lot for most my life. This video has helped me decide to get a screening

I’ve been recently diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 46 after my daughter was! I was missed at school as i wasn’t naughty the same as you and I always struggled exactly the same as you with every everything you have detailed

Haha sometimes i forget the names of my friends, like friends i have known for a while. Makes for awkward conversation, "Hey there ... uh um errr.. friend?"

This is the story of my life: Time blindness Following instructions Spacing out Low stress tolerance Emotional imbalance Avoiding tasks, Being bored quickly And most of the others. I take medication for my Adhd.

i'm 41, got the diagnose at 38... it changed my life... (my son also got ADD, that's when i found out...)

I’m showing this to my therapist. You explained my symptoms better than I could have ever imagined. I just today started add meds and have realized how profoundly different my outlook on life is just because I feel I can live up to my own expectations.

I remember when I was younger I always had more imaginary friends than I did real friends.

This video is probably the most accurate depiction of my symptoms I’ve seen, especially as a kid. Part of me is still skeptical though, because I did pretty well in school. I was always seen as weird, really strange, and socially inept for the most part, though. However, I was always that kid who would scribble their homework 5 minutes before class and cram-studied for tests, and I would always still end up with As and Bs. In High School I was basically seen as a smart-yet-lazy slacker who *somehow* got better grades than my friends who remembered to do their homework or study in advance. So... I dunno.

The more I research the experiences of people that are adhd and from what specialists say about the symptoms of adhd make me feel like I have always had this as well. Wow I’m 48 and wonder if I had been properly diagnosed as a child how I might have avoided so much suffering. Appreciate these videos thank you.

I'm 28 and been living with it my whole life and never knew! I always felt different and couldn't retain info like you said and had to cheat some to get by in school and I'm hyper sensitive to music and all the other stuff you've pointed out. I need to see a doctor bad but can't afford it and my parents were on drugs all my childhood and never tested for these things back then. Smh

here is a man talking about my whole life....

I was diagnosed with ADD at the end of my grade 12 year. A random teacher noticed while he was talking to me in a meeting that I was looking at him as he spoke, but he saw me focused on something else. He asked me, did you hear what I said? And I did hear him as he spoke but I completed lost all the information by his question. The interruption made me lose the entire content because ADD effects short term memory. There is a severance in executive function of the brain. So we learn by being shown something repeatedly in steps to be able to covert it to long term information and recall. But once I’ve been shown this way I never forget it and do not make mistakes or have to ask for help. The best advice I can give to parents are if you see your child struggling to follow spoken or written instructions. Understand they do have the intelligence, the confusion comes from not understanding the order in which to do them. Because you over analyze. You second guess and question your ability to understand the question. So you then panic and with memory issues you feel bad asking again. So having someone sit down and do the steps with you provides that confidence needed to follow through

I cant believe how open & truthful you are. Thank you

Sometimes, when people are talking to me, it goes in one ear, and my brain doesn't catch it as it floats out the other ear. I'm not even thinking about anything else. I just miss what people say.

I've recently begun to wonder if my issues are ADD. This is the first video I watched where I answered YES to everything.

This made me feel so sad, especially when you’re talking about the feeling of uselessness I realised I was feeling like complete shit on high school, I thought I’m dumb and I hated myself. I stopped talking to everyone and I was just thinking about killing myself everynight. Last year I started taking medication for anxiety and it helped me a lot, but I realised there was still something else going on with me and a few weeks ago I found out I have add. Thanks for this video so much, it helps to see someone like you talk about what I’m going through.

Didn’t know the sensitivity to stimuli was even an adhd symptom. But just being diagnosed earlier this week, it makes sense. When I go to a loud concert or party of some sort, and I get close to the music, it is as if I can literally feel my ears being deafened from the sheer force of the music.

Man, I really wish I discovered this channel sooner. It would have helped me out so much with my life struggles. I spent years and years wondering what was wrong with me but when I finally watched an ADHD video that randomly popped up on KZfaq, suddenly everything made sense. I found this channel and even though I’m a woman, this channel has been the most relatable channel in terms of being relatable so far. It’s crazy to think now how many of my quirks that I thought were just “me” things were due to ADHD. Thank you for your work, it has helped me understand myself better and I’m working on treating myself.

Sign number 11: you watch all KZfaq videos on 2x speed b/c normal isn't fast enough XD

That feeling when you're undiagnosed and every single sign is something you struggle with. It's so weird explaining to people how even watching a 10 minute long video on KZfaq requires me to pause 3 times. This is also one of the reasons why I won't ever get TikTok, it feels like the even shorter than KZfaq format would feed into my instant gratification/boredom cycle and make my attention span gradually even worse.

I've been diagnosed with depression at 17 and with ADD at 35. I'm 42 now and i've Been on antidepressants since i was 18 and stopped taking them last year. Just recently discovered, or accepted, how much ADD has been the cause of a lot of my problems. I always thought of it as something i learned to live with and kind of swept it un der the carpet, the depression was what made me suffer so i focused on that. But it was because of the ADD that was wearing me out. Overthinking everything, low stress tolerance, troubles keeping a job or finishing a study or a relationship etc.... i recently found help and knowing how my brain works made me more relaxed and made me proud of myself when i used to look at myself as a failure. The one thing to remember is we have to work harder but it's usually unnoticed by people so i hope everybody gives themselfes the credits for their hard work💪Greets from the Netherlands!

I love how your video is just long enough to provide enough interesting information, but also not too long to fit in the short attention span of the possible ADD people watching this !

I feel like you’re describing me exactly thank u for this video

I’m not gonna lie, watching this video made me want to cry because everything you mentioned I have and I know I have it, and this really made me feel like not alone with this problem

Not sure how I stumbled across your videos but I tick so many of these boxes, I have worried for years that I have early onset of dementia but now I know, I'm going to seek professional help in order to have peace of mind. Such a relief, thank you!

Thanks for posting this video I can relate to everything you're saying. Always put my struggles down to dyslexia and since finding out about ADHD really made a lot of sense. Am nervously awaiting results from my assessment tomorrow!😬

Recently I discovered I had ADHD. At first I questioned it a lot, but then at one point I decided to take a bunch of difficult courses this year and it has really made me realize that you can't just power through ADHD. There are a LOT of things you can't do like normal people. I thought if I fixed everything and gave myself structure and just tried harder I'd somehow be able to fix it, but boy was I wrong. I grew up feeling this way too; I was extremely disorganized, but no matter what I did I just couldn't seem to stay focused the same way other kids could and it... Honestly made me incredibly self-conscious. Now I actively avoid situations in which I can be singled out (I stopped microwaving my ramen at school because one of the cafeteria ladies called me "noodle girl" once.) I'd also fixate a LOT on reading books. So much so that I was constantly told off for reading in class. I used to be a pretty good student, and I still feel like I could be, but I have so many things in my life now and I don't understand how some people can just juggle those things. I dunno. Feels like I'm constantly banging my head against a wall. It sucks.

Hey to anyone who has to rewatch the video try reading the comments while you watch it and you’ll get some of it coming through and you know what’s going on still :)

Thank you so much for this video, it brings a bigger awareness about myself and my newly diagnosed ADD as an adult woman.

You just described me 100%. Everything makes sense now. Every example you gave, I have been through it. Thank you for this video.

I was recently diagnosed with inattentive ADHD after 6 months of research. This video is partly where it started and made me so convinced I had to reach out to my Doctor. Now my mom and my siblings are gonna get help as well. Thank you for sharing information about this "hidden" ADHD-subtype.

I zoned out and then zoned back in right when he was talking about zoning out 😂

I am 44 and just now realizing I have this "disorder". How have I fooled everyone so well that nobody, myself included, has ever once suggested I might have it? Really makes alot of my struggles and frustrations make sense. I might actually have been successful had this condition been addressed as a child

I'm just coming to the end of my 2.5yr long assessment (well, hopefully) so I'm about to find out if I definitely have ADHD or not, the more I learn about the symptoms the more sure I am that I have it. Almost all of the things you mentioned I can relate to, when you talked about slower reflexes I nearly cried! I worked for a company for years as a costume maker, my work was impeccable... but I was much slower than everyone else, something my manager told me multiple times. I worked as fast as I physically could, but the faster I worked the more mistakes I made (some pretty big ones). It's something I've never been able to change regardless of the job, costume/admin/office work, and every boss has complained about how slow I am compared to other people. It's both comforting and frustrating to learn that ADHD could be the reason for this.

Self diagnosed @ 55, confirmed @56, finally taking it seriously. This video is spot on, thanks for making it!

Actually as a person diagnosed with ADD I never found being late a problem inside of school and it always seemed like I had to do things early and get places faster

30 years after my daughter was tested I found out that I too had ADD and that she got it from me. Needless to say it was a lot to take in. On the one hand I finally found out why I was the way I was and then I 'passed it on' to my child! It took everything within me to not completely break down crying in the doctor's office. However, the one positive thing is that because of what I went through and the many lessons and tips I learnt over the years I can now help my little girl NOT to go through what I went through as a child- it wasn't good at all. I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for sharing your story and advice. I am truly grateful!

Yesterday I walked into college holding a cup of coffee, put it down to sanitise my hands, went to go to do the thing I went to college for, and then 5 min later I was like ‘hey wasn’t I holding coffee? Where did it go?’

I wasn’t diagnosed until my late 20s, though I started to suspect I had inattentive-type ADHD when I spent a couple years teaching and had a few students who were diagnosed. It wasn’t until I started struggling at work that I sought help. And it’s easy to see why it was missed. My mom’s one of those who doesn’t really believe ADHD exists (probably because she has a lot of signs of ADHD as well and thinks it’s “normal”). I wasn’t behind socially (though a bit introverted) and did well in school. But my teachers constantly complained about me being distracted and daydreaming. I’d either spend triple the time required on assignments or wait until the night before to write them in a flurry of motivated panic. Being late for everything was (is) practically a personality trait. I’d start and change hobbies like changing clothes, because I’d get bored or frustrated. And I had so much trouble staying organized... my mom had to actively teach me organizational skills so that I’d remember assignments and not lose things (skills like color-coding my course notebooks, religiously filing things, keeping a day planner starting in 3rd grade, assigning important items like shoes and backpacks to a location where they always were so I didn’t have to look for them, and so on). The problem is, my Mom kept such an iron fist over my life that when I was suddenly on my own in college, I crashed and burned. And then I figured out how to get by... only to crash and burn again in my first career. And again after my first semester of law school. And again at my first legal job. Each time, I’d be fine for a couple of months, finally get overwhelmed by my lack of organization, attention to detail, and time management skills, burn out, struggle for months, then figure out a new system to make it work. Finally the pattern was enough that I started seeking help. Though it was the anxiety and panic and depression that drove me to the therapist at first. Still struggling though. Finding a good ADHD therapist as an adult is rough. My coping mechanisms are better now, but I still feel like I’m hurling myself from one precarious position to another... waiting for my inattentiveness to overwhelm me again. And I’m just... so... slow. Everything takes me so much time. I hate it.

Bloody awesome video Mate! Amazing work and was really helpful in highlighting what it's like for the non-hyper-active add'ers. Haven't been officially diagnosed yet but info has given me the courage to get tested in the new year. Cheers!

Your videos have been a eureka moment for me. Thankyou so much!

I was diagnosed at 21. My concentration issues had never been much of an issue until my last years of high school where the workload was incredibly intense, as my high IQ apparently allowed me to compensate prior to that. At the same time I struggled really badly with anxiety, depression and BPD so my concentration difficulties were just blamed on those, until 4 years after my initial diagnoses where my mental health had improved incredibly, but my concentration and organisational abilities were still fucked. Finally got diagnosed, explains so much of my life of struggling with recall and memory all the time, how I can never concentrate when I'm bored - and even still when I'm neutral...how forgetful and late I am, list goes on endlessly!

Thank you for such a clear description very helpful🙏

This is truly helpful. Thank you.

I remember back in school when the teacher is teaching I have to listen and almost write whatever I can about what he is saying or else I begin to space out and day dream.

For years, I thought that something was wrong with me because I could never focus, I always forgot what I was doing a second ago, and I’d have to ask people to repeat what they said all the time. I was a pretty chill kid growing up, so I’m assuming that teachers didn’t care enough about that kid who was probably just lazy and they turned their focus to classmates who were actually impairing the ability of other students to learn. I’ve tried so hard to hide my symptoms, so a lot of people assume that I’ve got everything together and that I’m one of the smarter people in my grade. I’ve been told by some of my classmates that I’m “one of the only people who knows what they’re doing” in my history class, and whenever they say something like that, I’m overrun with an intense feeling of guilt and shame, because while I generally do alright on tests, it takes countless alarms on my phone and general precautions in order to force myself to stay focused on homework, and even then, it’s not a guarantee that I’ll actually do it. I’ve also tried to hide the fact that I can’t remember things that people have literally just said, which usually causes me to just laugh it off and make it seem like I totally know what they just said. This sometimes backfires, but it’s a strategy that I’ve refined over time. For example, if my mom told me to go ######## ## ####, I’ll walk halfway up the stairs, then sit on the steps and try to remember what ######## ## #### was. I think the one benefit from this is that I consider myself a lover of making up stories in my head. Whenever I’d space out, I’d be imagining fairies coming to my desk and befriending me, or some prince bursting into my classroom to save me from Algebra, and this love of stories has translated to a love of writing. Even if I can’t focus long enough to get myself sitting to read or write for a prolonged period of time (something I frequently shame myself for), I still value those made up adventures in my head. I somewhat resent my mother throughout this soul searching process, because she noticed symptoms and knew about genetic factors on both sides of family that would make it possible for me to have ADD, but she only told me two years ago in casual conversation that I’m “a little ADD”, and didn’t expect me to be completely bamboozled by the fact that it literally explains all of my biggest insecurities that I’ve been experiencing for as long as I can remember. I just told her a few days ago how upset it makes me that I feel like I’m dumber or lazier than the rest of my peers during a heated argument, and now that I’ve brought up the situation with the therapist I see for issues related to anxiety, she’s going to have me take a simple checklist, and if I score high, she’ll have me screened and I could get a diagnosis and proper treatment. It’s been pretty emotional, because even though it’s technically a self-diagnosis at this stage, I’ve been so messed up in this way for so long that I really want to finally learn that it’s not my fault that my brain is a crow loose in a jewelry store

This is an excellent, well thought out, credible video. Thanks so much!

This video is probably the most helpful video on this topic. Thank you

I first discovered I relate to people with ADHD when someone talked about their experience on Twitter. Then I did some research and reached out to the ADHD community and I think there is a chance I might have ADD myself, but in all honesty, I can't help but feel like maybe I'm over-exaggarating and looking for excuses for laziness and incompetence and immaturity. I'd like to reach out for help, but I'm scared I'm making it all up and this is just the way I am and I should just suck it up and work harder lol

"Number 6. Timing and deadlines....." Me: Oh that's interesting, I wonder if that has something to do with the way I...." Me: suddenly realize I was so engrossed in my thoughts on number 6 that I missed Number 7 entirely and have to back up to hear what it was. Facepalm

I relate to ALL of them. I didn’t even have “ADHD” in my radar until last year. I finally have an ADHD Assessment appt next month and looking forward to get some answers. Regardless of whether I do have it or not.

AMAZING and helpful. Thank You!

I was diagnosed when I was younger, and everyone said I’d grow out of it. I like to watch these videos just to feel like at least someone understands

EVERY SINGLE THING YOU TALKED ABOUT I IDENTIFY WITH. And it’s crazy because I’m 23 and just in the past few months have started to realize that I have undiagnosed ADD , I struggled so much in school and high school and don’t even get me started with jobs….for the longest time I just thought I was stupid…😭

Everything in this video pretty much sums up my life. Thank you for this video extremely helpful.

I'm 46, was diagnosed last year. I feel angry at myself and frustrated that I didn't realize earlier in my life what was going on. The healing starts now.

“the frontal regions of the brain are 3 to 5 percent smaller than a neural typical” yeah thanks a lot 💀

Thank you. You just described every single difficulty I've had in my life and I'm going to find out about getting tested.

Thank you for these excellent videos! You are so good at communicating this and you do it with a loving, non-judgmental voice. That makes a huge difference... Doug

I can't handle stress, I freak out and I get physical symptoms as well I break out into hives, and get allergy like symptoms

When you started talking about the depression part I teared up. I love you man, this is helping me a lot right now.

Wow. I related to every sign except time management. I’m obsessed about being on time. But that could be my upbringing. Thank you for this video. I’m 29 and just now looking into ADD being a possibility for me.

I’m a few years late but I’m glad I’m not alone. Struggled with this all my life! I’m approaching 30 y/o now and it has been such a nuisance to drudge through. I’ve always been less social than the average person because I know it takes more effort and embarrassment to fight through ADD to connect with people. Work has been hard as well since I know underperformance is inevitable and I hate disappointing others. It’s comforting to know other people face these things!

Amazing. After years of low self-esteem, issues with compulsivity and changeable moods I am booked in for an assessment today. This video totally reinforces my thinking that it's the right thing to do. Thank you so much mate!
