    I am an undiagnosed ADHD person and at a point in my disgusting life that I no longer even try to make things better… I don’t want to try anything AT ALL. I read, listen, watch and go; oh yeah, whatever. I feel like I need to force myself Sooo HARDDDDD to drag myself out of home and I feel I am already exhausted, specially mentally. So, thank you for this amazing video, but yeah, whatever.

    Lots of great stuff. Turning piles upside down to go through them - so that you're starting with the oldest and likely expired items first - is a brilliant suggestion for gaining momentum. Thank you for all of your great, helpful info!

    "Find your tribe. Hang out with people who understand you." That "advice" is pretty painful if you're in a small town, another country, etc. If you have this kind of support, I think you must be very lucky.

    Exactly. Where I live, ADHD is not even recognized… I can’t get diagnosed and even if I did online, I can’t get prescribed meds… none is available locally.

    For those struggling to find good friends... By carefully observing, you will find similar ADHD traits in others, whether they've been diagnosed or not. Even then, be cautious of who you let in your life. Only those who are accepting and not critical of others. I also have close friends without ADHD. I was 42 when diagnosed, and I'm 65 now. Finding resources and doctors is/has been hard. ADDitude has been my best resource for years. We ARE uniquely wonderful and have amazing gifts. We also don't give up. Now that's an understatement! 😅

    Thank you so much for sharing. It's WILD how I already tried one or two of the strategies discussed here by myself unconsciously, and the speech helped me to know better about how they actually work. For example I've been tracking down how long I thought it would take to do something and how long it actually takes for a month. My worst guess so far is I thought it would take me 2 hours but in fact it took me less than 10 min to finish lol

    The question that should be asked is why is there not more places to get diagnosed in every walk of life, the increase in quality of life and productivity for millions, most who are not aware would be phenomenal.

I have a suggestion for collaboration with 'child and more ADHD engaging format' for your platform 🤔💚 As far as keeping attention for us who need key notes, music, color, and such to stay focused!? 😉 online a few people with editing teams, who are ADHD are also bringing awareness, active community chats, and might be able to join forces for mutual benefit? Every success to your great work ☺️🤗

    Luckily poor people never have ADHD because doctors and therapists are super expensive so there's absolutely no way they can get diagnosed or help if they did have it so it's a good thing only middle-class and upper-class people ever have ADHD.
