I have ADHD, and sleep apnea, you NEED to go get checked for sleep apnea, NOW. This WILL take years off your life. Your symptoms surrounding your sleep issues sound VERY much like apnea. You need to get checked, if youre waking up gasping.
I’m a ADHD brother also. I have severe squirming & fidgeting issues and after I started medication. I now am able to seat still and not be squirming out of my wheelchair. Strattera and zero side effects equals a better life.
Welcome to the super power club. Dont fight it embrace it!!!!!!! Its a gift!!!
Hey I'm 24 going to be 25 soon. I just got diagnosed too and honestly my while life makes sense now.
It’s not a disability if you find the right job …. Make it a strength
I got diagnosed with small gochu syndrome
Lol, who isn't these days. A form of stimulant other than Adderall is caffeine.
@BrianJung you mentioned you used to wake up with your heart racing like suffocating. Try to also get tested that you do not have sleep apnea. Sometimes people who have a thick neck and lift a lot can develop it. Getting properly diagnosed also for sleep apnea will help. There are like mouthpieces that can be made to help with sleep.
Id love to have the super powers
You sound very much like someone who is HSP-highly sensitive person or sensory perceptive sensitivity, probably concurrent with the ADHD.
I appreciate you sharing this about yourself. So much fits with me even though I didn’t hit the adhd threshold. But, I am sure that I’m neurodivergent as an hsp
I’m also glad I grew up in the 90s lol when I was told by my teachers I had ADD I was like ok. Only new that I had a hard time focusing on some subjects.
It wasn’t till in recent years I heard people coming out saying they had ADD/ADHD and it would cause them problems. I would here a lot of people use it as a crutch or a reason they are locked in the ways they live.
I know ADD/ADHD is a scale per say but don’t make it your personality. To most people it doesn’t matter, what matters is that we find what works for us in our day to day. One thing that was huge is just in the past couple years any time I have something to go to or things in the day I need to do I just set phone alarms. It lets me throw those commitments out of my mind and gain the bandwidth back, plus I’m not worried about missing stuff lol.
I think of ADD/ADHD like an RPG game, when you create a character you have different classes to chose and it dictates what you specialize in. That’s all ADD/ADHD is, it’s us a normal human and we are different than some humans like we all are. We have strengths and weaknesses. But sure our blind spots feel large sometimes but with this variation in the human condition we can have a really high redline and a very creative mind! Some true gems that alot of people won’t understand, just like how we don’t understand how they can focus on subjects they don’t like lol.
But I wouldn’t trade this for anything. It’s part of what makes me who I am.
Thank you for sharing…A lot of famous people have been diagnosed with ADHD… look at how successful you are now!! My son has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum and ADHD 🙏🏼❤️
Keep doing what you've been doing!! Don't let it define you.
ADHD is the most over diagnosed condition in the US.
Yeah I resonate a ton! Got Asperger's (mild Autism) as well.
One of the biggest motivators for me is maintaining a routine schedule filled with activities, events, and ventures I find deep satisfaction and enjoyment in but can also throw a wrench in my week if my schedule is disrupted by medical complications (skin & foot for me), a family emergency, or just the SSA sending me a 20-page report to complete within 2 weeks in order to keep receiving benefits — any of which often means not getting to keep up with the optimal routine I rely on such as TRX classes or social groups or blocked-out periods of rest & de-stressing which can snowball into me not getting anything on my to-do list done for a few days which can be more than a little discouraging.
Oh and "amphetamines" or stimulant ADD/ADHD meds like Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta make me loose my appetite and become irritable more often so I've found ways to manage well without them since 2017. I have heard about a few non-stimulant alternatives so I would like to try those if I the need arises.
Nice video Brian I love your videos, keep it up👍
Hey Brian, if you have only tried Addy it is worth trying trying another med. Vyvanse is the same type of stim but known for being more long acting and not have those crashes you are experiencing. It definitely pricier though. Also many people experience the fatigue when first starting stims, it might be that it quiets your brain and actually allows you to get into more of a parasympathetic state but many people report that eventually easing up.
I feel like everyone got adhd from social media
Thank you
Super helpful! Love my Oura ring.
👏👏👏
Sounds like you are also an ENFP!! I thought I was ADHD like 6-7 years ago because my bf always said looks like I have ADHD, then I went to a doctor and afterwards she said no I don’t have ADHD…maybe I’m just a typical ENFP or multi-potentiality!
I think my doctor said I have ADHD, but I wasn't paying attention.
are you still filming on canon or did you make the switch to sony
Oh no! Hope you survive
Welcome to our tribe!
not sure if I have it…but I have similar symptoms (i.e. low energy, mind always running).
I still managed to get a couple degrees and own my own business.
glad to hear your story….much respect
lets go! rugby mayn!!!!!!!!!
Blessings my brother. Glad you’re staying well through these crazy times.
Look at your blessing
Thank you 🙂
How to ADHD is a really good channel
U should make videos on tips regarding productivity and adhd
I am also ADHD – but it's my superpower – can multitask up to GODTIER – it can be a blessing – just understand it
Thank you for sharing!
I have adhd
I’m 62 years old and when I was growing up it was known as someone being “hyper”. They were all over the place couldn’t sit still always doing 10 things at once.
In the “newer” world everything is an alphabet disease!
You are one that uses this problem to do and make good.
I’m proud of you actually.
Thank you for being you
🙏🏼🙏🏼 you going to be ok 👍
Why are you fabricating that your intentions are to help people when it's clear you are leveraging a mental health disorder for clicks and views. Your lost mate.
