    I just turned 63 and I have not been officially diagnosed, but I realized that I was ADHD, when one of my children was diagnosed at an early age. The psychologist that diagnosed my child help me read a list of symptoms, to see how many I could relate to, as I read the list I thought I was reading a symptom list of my life. Anyways, fast forward to now and this podcast has just brought me to tears realizing that so much you wouldn’t be feeling it’s not just me or my post menopause but it’s also my ADHD. I have been fighting failure, the fear of failure, all of my life. Performance anxiety with every new job. Fear of people being angry at me fear disapproval. Sorry for the tirade. And I’m on the verge of facing another life change huge decision, whether or not I’m going to pursue a new career at my age and I’m doubting every step because I think I’m stupid.

    I can relate to everything you just said. I'd encourage you to grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down 100 accomplishments you've made in your life, from learning how to walk, to making humans and raising them. You're not seeing your worth, but it's there. When you start focusing on everything you've done well, you'll have more self-trust. You deserve your own support. 😘

    Hey, I read your comment and I just wanted to let you know I´m rooting for you. I hope whatever you choose to do, helps you find something that makes you feel more fulfilled and happier with yourself. It´s also valid to just try and see if it makes you feel good, and it it doesn´t, you haven´t made a mistake by trying it, you discovered something new about yourself (but don´t give up because of mere frustration, push a little too :) )

    On a random day I’ll be happy and doing fine…and then in a short amount of time my mood starts to drop even though it was untriggered…. Pretty soon I’m an emotional mess after I’ve realized I’ve been subconsciously telling myself that I’m worthless….That everything about me is undesirable and that the world wasn’t made for people like me. I beat myself into a pulp and then I can’t stop the sad emotions going through me and I break down. It ruins my day. It almost ruins my whole life. This just sucks and is so hard to deal with. The worst part is that I have many good things in my life and I can’t get my stupid brain to focus on those happy things. Tears just flow endlessly… It makes me so mad at the world. It all feels so unfair.

    I felt that way a lot as a child and teen & it lead me to dealing with anger/hatred of myself + suicidal depression back then, thinking "all I do is mess up" and "everyone would be better off if I was gone". In my teenaged years a friend of mine helped me realize that learning to conquer those emotions demonstrated more strength than giving up. And I was bound and determined to prove I was was stronger than the negative internal monologue. I had no idea back then that depression was so interconnected with the ADHD I had been diagnosed with as a teen. With all the information I'm just now learning at 39 yrs old about ADHD, so many of my lifelong struggles makes sense now. Add to all of that the facts that I'm married to an ADHD-diagnosed husband. Together we have an ADHD-diagnosed 18 yr old son & a 5 yr old daughter who needs to be tested for it. That's a lot of emotional dysregulation running rampant in our household. The emotional struggles are REAL.

    I had a lovely epiphany the other day - I was waiting for someone to help me at the store and I started to feel overwhelmed with a sense that everyone was staring at me (which brought up feelings of being judged). I used to perform a lot (dance and music) and I thought to myself "I'm not on stage right now!" I took a couple of deep breaths and quickly felt the feelings of judgment go down. I was able to actually look around and see that no one was looking at me - they were all focused on their own problems. It definitely helps me when I can become aware of myself - what I'm feeling and how I got there - so I can regulate myself ❤

    About a year ago I got really serious about not being "a shitty human being that fucks up everything he touches and whose life is a total mess that he is, despite great talents, unable to get into shape" and started telling myself that "I'm a normal person, with my suite of problems who deserves to be better and have a better life." Unfortunately, I have outright been told by my wife that "I know you think this is an improvement, but I don't." So, be prepared to find out the real nature of your relationships if you ever decide to "show up" as yourself.

    That's such a harsh thing to say to someone you supposedly love. Maybe your wife needs therapy, better communication skills, or just needs to think before she speaks. Or maybe you need a divorce...her speaking to you like that isn't right. I understand people get frustrated, but she could have said things in a more caring way instead of making you feel bad that your efforts were worthless in her eyes. Be proud of every little improvement regardless if it's enough for her.

    I relate to the first story so much, only I have a 4 year old child, and I’m only 27. I have anxiety and depression, I’m late for work more often than I clock in on time and I’m constantly anxious and stressed about it and it makes me feel like a failure. Like I can’t get my life together and it depresses me even more. I also had a routine and things I did to help me sleep at night and now that I’m living with my fiancé he can’t sleep when I do those things, so that’s changed and my sleep schedule is screwed. I also work evening shift and don’t get home until midnight or later, and I really wish I could just fix it all, and feel like a normal adult human who functions properly. Oh and my house is beyond cluttered…

So yes, it’s a challenge.😂 The good news is… there are ways to get through the day… 🎉 He’s understanding my condition and empathetic during my off days. I know it’s challenging at times. The more I understand my condition and master my emotions the better I get in managing stress, triggers, and overwhelm. What works for me is to have my positive self-talk along with emotional control, pause, take a deep breath, ground my nervous system to feel safe and respond with calm, ease, save my energy and focus on feeling joy regardless. To my fella ADHDers, you are enough now and nothing is wrong with you. ❤

I have two alarms AND a timer for sleep. (2.) Told you before about a calendar in every room AND one in my purse. (3.) Getting somewhere on time means repeatedly “LYing” to yourself about when work starts. If this means telling yourself half an hour earlier or an hour earlier, THIS it what it means(!). Over and over and over again. (4.) Can she get more help around the house? Please🙏🏽, please do this. If not, then, one task at a time, until they’re largely done🙂.

I have never heard that we're stuck in the limbic brain when we're in this fight/flight/freeze response and unable to access the prefrontal cortex, but that really helped contextualize why I always look back on those moments and wonder why I couldn't function. Definitely gave me more motivation to stay calm and avoid getting to that place to begin with. I also liked the part about asking yourself what the best thing you can do for yourself in that moment is and it may be adjusting expectations. I'm very perfectionist and have an assignment due today and I know if I just get it done, instead of hyperfocusing on it, I'll get a grade that's good enough.

    I am so grateful to have found you and your channel today. I love your approach and your energy... I am a big believer in finding a " teacher" that you connect with... which very often doubles to co-regulate me!!! Thank you. I have never been formally diagnosed with ADHD, but it has been suggested that I might have it by a couple of the many professionals/ experts I have seen... I have struggled with depression and anxiety for my entire life -- that is the obvious basis... but sometimes I am not sure it is the whole story in terms of a diagnosis... and of course there is so much overlap between many different "diagnoses." I actually take an ADHD medication off label for depression because it is one of the only things that can get me out of freeze / shut down mode. That place can be due, again, to unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety, adhd, etc etc... I love Gabor Mate (and now many other experts) who says that many of these diagnoses are actually normal responses (not disorders) to abnormal environments or experiences as infants, children or adults... it is a beautiful and humanizing reframe! This of course is all from my own lifetime experience and my very aggressive and on-going attempts to successfully treat and get on top of my struggle. Thank you for listening ; ))

    I don’t say “I’m a failure” because I have ADHD. I say it because the ADHD has driven a tank over everything in my life. Not diagnosed until I was 56. Left school at a time when claiming welfare and putting decisions off, for years, was possible. So I did, because I couldn’t and still cannot make that decision. Dropped out of colleges so many times there’s no student funding available for me, even if I had time to study something (I’ll be 60 next birthday) or could make that decision knowing how hard the ADHD will make that studying. Or get a manual labour job which my health, due to 4 decades of self medicating, isn’t up to. Nice to know why, finally. Nice to know it wasn’t my fault, except the people who needed to know this are dead so there’s no healing there either. The country I live in is getting increasingly hostile to anyone with mental health issues and are openly contemptuous of money spent on it. We are all con artists, lead swingers and whiney middle class wasters who need to be kicked, hard, and made to work, whereupon we will all discover that we were fine after all and made all that nonsense about head problems up. Life is bleak and there’s no light in the distance.

    Oh, I hear you. It is OK to feel sadness for your missed potential. It wasn't your fault. But also, have compassion for yourself. Give yourself grace. You made the best choices available for you at the time, and guess what? You survived! And you learned along the way, even if not in college. I have many days where I feel as you do. I'm 57. I often feel it's too late. But it's not. You have been blessed with life on this beautiful planet. I try to be grateful for things, and sometimes all i can come up with is "look how beautiful that blue sky is. I can see that when others can't. Im blessed." There are also resources and a community who have practical suggestions to offer. I'm thinking of you and praying for you, even though I'm not religious! I just want you to know that people care about you. Even strangers like me. 💜

    Wow you are just like me! Super hard on yourself, and you have every right to be…. However despite all those who failed you, and the numerous times you may feel that you failed yourself. I promise you that know amount of guilt shame anger or frustration is going to change anything that has already occurred. I’m thankful to hear that you did however finally find a explanation for it. I’d rather be 60yrs old with a diagnosis than a 80yr old without one. My anger didn’t settle until almost 10yrs after my diagnosis. Because I was too blinded by just the diagnosis that I wasn’t able to also find the resources and gain tools to help me shift until recently when I discovered there was even a such thing as an ADHD Coach. I was at my wits in, and barely holding on by a thread trying to keep what little bit of my life I still had, together. I’m also thankful that we both live in a time now where coaches are accessible, social media platforms allow these amazing people to reach people like us who need it most, with sooooo much free content available at our fingertips. The mere fact that you are watching videos like this is evidence that YES, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You are here because despite all of your challenges, YOU never gave up on YOURSELF, and that right there is something to be grateful for. You are stronger and wiser than you know. I beg you to take just a moment to look at yourself in the mirror, and say “THANK YOU” to you. That would mean so much to the person looking back at you 🫶🏽

Everyone in my life has either looked at ADHD, seen that it requires the right medication and the right support and thought, "f*** that. I don't like him enough to put the time in to helping him.", or, as is more likely, are so indifferent and careless that none of them bothered to look at ADHD. "F*** him, let him sort his own problems out." And so, heartbroken, I am reduced to sitting around waiting to die. Life force spent. Health wrecked. Hope destroyed. Who is going to bother to help a 60 year old pick up the pieces of a life that never got properly started? There's no incentive. And I am not worth enough for the effort to be made. I do not know where this hateful, spiteful neglect comes from, but it's been around for a very long time. It causes me endless pain to hear about people with loving, supportive families who are there for them. Mine is not like that, at all. Mine begrudges infrequent and brief social visits, never mind wading in to help. There's always a bunch of excuses on offer and they all amount to "why should we lift a finger to help you?". Message received. Over and again.

    Thanks for the putting your needs first section, that one really spoke to me and totally helped me reorient my strategy not to better accommodate others and for me to fit in to their ways, but to change at least my internal environment to suit my emotional and mental needs first. Because we all need to have out needs met first in order for us to thrive and be the version of ourselves we want to be and others can benefit from. And its not our fault we might have different needs from neurotypicals. This is so mutually beneficial.

    OMG I thought that setting my multiple alarms was normal….Everyone does that... lol They are Arranged Titled, set into 15 minute intervals, 5 minute Snoozes¿ If I have abused the snooze button too making me late. Leading to an ultimate Panic event, which would resemble me literally falling out of bed, scrabbling to find the door. Resulting later, argument in my head to later add another Alarm for tomorrow. OMG now I need to rewind this video, because I have been zoned out typing this, and retyping it to make it sound right. Merry Christmas 🏝️(Argh I couldn’t find a Christmas tree emoji)😝

    Caren, I can relate so much to this woman. I have many of her same feelings. I was diagnosed at 49 and m 51 now. I lost my job a few months ago because of my inability to get to work on time regularly and some other productivity issues I was having. Listening to this woman's story and your response has helped me greatly. I know I'm at work in progress but I feel like I am trying to understand my ADD better and how I can improve myself. Thank you so much for your content!

    Im struggling with my son, he was diagnosed at 7 then again at 19. His father disagreed and tried to over turn the diagnosis, he wasnt successful. However my son looks up at his father and his father said there was nothing wrong with him. Now my son is self medicating rather than address he has adhd. I understand him, as im very similar due to early server SA. I dont know how to help him. Can you give me advice. Please ive had to make him leave because his chaotic life and self medicating is destroying my life . Please if you can give me advice. I live in the uk.

    First time watching one of your videos. You are so intense, but with a positive message! Most intense material is just angry people blowing of steam or trying to stir up some comotion for no specific reason. Therefor, I would normally, most likely avoid your video, due to that intensity and just keep on keeping on, along the KZread algorithm. However, this makes me watch the full 16 minutes and head over to your channel for more! Well done.

    I think your reader needs to divorce her husband. If she has college-aged kids, then she's been with him for at least 20 years, and has done everything in her power to make him happy at her own expense. Clearly he does not appreciate her or even try to understand her condition. Every woman deserves better than that. The husband will be sorry when she's gone, but she'll be happier and freer than she has been in years.

    As a person with ADHD, I understand the treatment she has received from her spouse. I have gone through two divorces and a broken engagement. I became the person they wanted me to be and gave and gave but received little in return. My low self esteem due to my ADHD kept me in these one-sided relationships. Now single, I’m much healthier and happier. I was accused of being a “failure” or an “underachiever” but I out earned them during our time together. Prioritize yourself and not constantly trying to make them happy. Once you see that you will never make them happy no matter what you do, it makes your choices clear after that. Life is too short to be miserable and in a one-sided situation the rest of your life. If a spouse can’t meet you halfway, there’s your answer.
