REALLY appreciate this video you guys, I think it continues to help add context and give strategies for dealing with this nagging part of my brain. If you don't mind, I'd like to build on this content by adding that mindfulness meditation could be a great skill to practice here. Learning to redirect focus is essentially at the core of mindfulness practice! I also prefer not to demonize the DMN, because I think it may come off as more scary than it needs to be. I think a more helpful view is to see it for what it is (strings of words, images and sensations that may not be preferable / comfortable), and rather than "run away" from the "demon," think about it as "running towards" stimulating directions where our values lie. Thanks again for such an awesome and informative video!

I have a suggestion for no 5. Environment - put positive self talk before you go to challenging places. Unknown transportation codes etc. helps a lot. And also it trains you for next challenging task.

❤ 100 💯💯💯 Million dollar information

You have no idea how badly I needed this video precisely at this point in my life. Thank you.

I have Dyspraxia. Not quite ADHD but told there is an overlap

I would put some mugs in the coffee drawer. 😁 I especially liked the electronic basket. 😁

Concerta xl has saved my life, I don’t care what people say. I felt like a totally new person. I can concentrate on things I could never have done before. I have since stopped drinking energy drinks as I feel like I can do things. Before I was stroppy, angry and didn’t want to do anything. It’s brilliant, I love it and will take it as long as I can.

Worst advise I ever heard. Expecially cant believe it it from the word of a psychiatrist

I like Ned 😊

so bpd and cptsd.

Ah, so that’s why watching science videos and documentaries helps stop me from ruminating.

6:11 this is so me with my fuel tank

I have a way you can add in the picture and animation. And you don't have to read it if you don't want to, it will read it out to you. You can ask it a question and then go to the section that is relevant.

I am a waste of space though

Understanding this is gonna help me get myself out of some dark places i'm going through. This channel has helped me so much with my ADHD, got diagnosed recently and was so hard to make family and friends understand how hard can be to me to control what has my attention and how to stop myself from focusing just in one thing.

I almost cried along with the brain when it finally reached its target🧠. You explain very well.

YOU GOT TO SIR WITH HALLOWEL!?!?? Awesome!!!! His books made a huge difference in my understanding of ADHD and my ADHD in particular.

Just buy a reusable water bottle.

My class does it every morning tag my name on the jar it’s Arianna and cammy

Living w someone w this condition is the closest thing to torture I have ever experienced. How do you manage to not be angry w someone who never responded to you when you’re talking to them or completely ignores you?

I teared up a little while watching this. Not in a bad way but because it's so validating. I struggle with rumination and catastrophizing. I have gotten to a point where I can start recognizing it and my go to is to switch tasks and drown it out until it's gone. Sometimes I do struggle with the feeling of "running away" from my problems as the voice in my head will point out but I try not to give into that thought. I have learned to separate my depression/anxiety from myself as entities that want to bring me down, that want to make me suffer. They are liars and I can't trust them. My mind has been a little more calm in recent months as I have been trying my best to not feed the demon. I still struggle here and there but I am so happy that this is something I already naturally started doing for myself. And this gives me further confirmation to keep at it.

I'm joining everyone who is having an epiphany after this video. I never thought about my brain craving stimulation so much that it induces this anxiety or depression.

This was very good. Please have him on more.

I had to rewind this video 5 times because I kept forgetting to listen 😮‍💨

I like this, I can tell you must believe in Jesus

what is this language?😂😂 she speaking to fast

Thanks for that. I cant believe people like your aunt existed in the 90s with this way of thinking.

I LOVE content like this, bringing in the scientists to tell our brains what for! thank you for bringing it to us!!

You’re so wholesome! ❤

Alcoholism or addiction

Dr. K (channel: HealthyGamergg) collab when? He's another expert and insanely popular with us gamers and specifically younger people. I should probably check first to make sure it hasn't already happened😅 I'll delete this comment if I find such a vid and replace it :)

Random question, did you play a checkout clerk in the series Monk?

Y'all just opened my eyes to something I've been dealing with my whole life now that I know what it is I and try and overcome it

trauma may not cause Adhd. but adhd sure can cause trauma. the way I am and have always been, made me an easy target when I was growing up. much bullying ensued. and 20 years a ptsd diagnosis. lucky me.

❤❤❤

This truly has been a revelation. You're doing your part, I'll start mine now. Thank you <3

Thank you so much, this makes me feel so much better about myself

Getting negative thoughts and reacting with “oh my brain must be bored” is such a power move.

💯💯💯💯💯🥺

This makes so much sense. I always dread trying to go to sleep at night because my brain immediately just goes into "spiral mode" once I stop for the day.

The Erin vibes are strong with this one

Hi Jessica, I missed you! Great to have you back!!! Still reading your book. It is so awesome! I also gave it to my uncle who introduced me to your videos! They have helped me so much!!

How do you know that you’re not as bad as it says you are?

For decades i used to this so much that this not bothered me much, but lastly i "fall off" from my anti depressants... and oh boy... it is almost unberable.....

I either buy Tagless Shirts or remove the Tag.

Thanks!

I love the organising of the clothes! Wow!

I live in Brazil and was recently diagnosed with ADHD while trying to understand what was affecting my son. Both of us received the diagnosis and started medication two months ago. Our lives have changed, but I see that we are still far from being understood by society and even by ourselves.I am reading the book by Russell A. Barkley, and in it, he mentions your TEDx video. Thank you so much for this video; it transformed my day and was incredible. I don't speak English, but I really needed to send you this message, so I used ChatGPT to translate it.

I like that you talk quickly because my brain works at hyperspeed and so I don't have to speed the video up ;) <3
