Top Comments of this video!! :3
I have inattentive ADHD and always wondered why Iâm always so forgetful, clumsy, spacey, disorganized and couldnât concentrate/focus on anything that didnât interest me and daydreaming all the time. I thought I was just lazy, dumb or something is wrong with me but I was diagnosed not long ago and started taking medication for it. No one thought I had it cause I was a quiet and well behaved girl in class and people often times think ADHD is that little hyperactive little boy that canât keep still in a classroom.

I'm 16-17yo girl and i think I have ADHD. I say "think" because everytime I've asked to go see a professional for a potential diagnosis my parents have shut the idea down immediately (i have epilepsy and they don't want to accept the idea of me having anything else. Anxiety -no your just shy, ADHD - no your just lazy).
And after watching this I'm even more sure. Hopefully i can get through to them. I love your videos Anthony đ¤Šđ¤Šđ

My partner has ADHD and it's something I really love about him. He sees the world in such an energetic way and has such dynamism flowing through him. He can be around anyone and has such a keen interest in life. He does have hyperfocus and burnout and so these are things I can help remind him about to regulate him. He brings so much sunshine to our world â¤

When Jessica said that she didnât get diagnosed until way later in life because she was a âgifted studentâ my jaw dropped. Thatâs exactly what happened to me. I had all Aâs my whole life and so everyone said it was impossible for me to have ADHD. When I got to college, my Aâs turned into Câs, Dâs, and Fâs, because for the first time, I was actually on my own with my ADHD, and it took all that for someone to listen and actually diagnose me.

I'm a doctor that was just diagnosed with ADHD at 28 y/o. My presentation was predominantly inattentive and because I had always done well in school and exams, getting straight A's and good results despite not studying or procrastinating and studying at the last minute, no one including myself would have ever thought I would have ADHD. Ironically, I'm in the psychiatry department now and I can say that I was truly blessed to be surrounded by colleagues that noticed my symptoms and advised me to get checked out. Thank you for making this video and helping to raise awareness. World Mental Health Day is on 10th October with the theme being "Mental health is a universal human right". I will try my best to raise awareness during that time and hope to help others like myself who struggle everyday blaming themselves without knowing whats actually wrong.
Whoever reads this, I hope you have a good day and do get yourself checked out if you think you might have it because it makes a world of a difference with the right help! <3

I resonated so much with the woman when she said âA lot of people that have ADHD donât think they have it because they think theyâre simply lazy or stupid.â
My entire life, my mother told me I was choosing to be lazy, I was choosing to fail classes, I was choosing to not pay attention. I tried so desperately to be these things that I physically and mentally cannot be. It put so much strain on me. People kept asking me why I was choosing to be this way when I didnât even know myself!
Iâm still coping with realizing that my symptoms are not a fault of my own. I try not to blame myself, and instead try to tell myself that when I make mistakes, I am not choosing to make them. It feels weird to forgive myself for making mistakes, but ironically, my symptoms are less severe now that Iâm not trying to suppress them.
I literally almost cried when they talked about feeling helpless, and stupid, and like half of a person that everyone thinks you should be. People always tell you youâre not trying hard enough, that youâre choosing to âfailâ. It hurts so much because people expect you to make a cake when you donât have ingredients.

I have ADHD. Most of my symptoms are related to my hyperactivity. I am loud and chatty, and I talk really fast. I jump from one topic to another. Every thought that pops into my head, I say with no control, that's the impulsiveness, so I overshare and interrupt a lot. It is extremely hard for me to keep friends. People don't want to be around me because I'm too "annoying." It takes a very special kind of person to stick with me. I only have one friend, and my family is extremely unssuportive and refuses to understand. They are constantly gelling me to shut up, and my mom yells at me all the time because my voice is loud. I don't hear it. To my ears, I'm speaking at a normal volume. So if I can't hear how loud my voice is, how am I supposed to lower or control it? I don't have problems with sitting still. I sit on my chair for ten hours straight focused on my computer because I hyperfocus to the point that I lose all awareness of my surroundings, even touch. When I am not hyperfocused, I get distracted by everything. My water bottle, the cats, a car door opening outside, one of my neighbors coming down the stairs in our building, every single notification on my phone. I will constantly shift around, drink from bottle, get up and get a snack, grab random nearby objects, and fidget with them. One of my biggest fidgets is putting things in my mouth like chewing on straws or towels. Like a baby l. I have trouble with motivation too. When I try to clean, my brain thinking of 10000 things I'd rather be doing and because I hate cleaning because it's boring as hell and overwhelming, so I'm ten times more likely to go do an activity that is fun, buT spend the whole day feeling guilty because I know what I should be doing. ADHD also affects my communication skills. I have severe social anxiety and trust issues. I am socially awkward, say things I shouldn't, overshare, very shy. I try to avoid people now.
