I have this also , have had ot for 6 months

Hi I am 18 year old and I have developed vss. I am all time depressed and crying. You must understand how difficult is it to see static 24*7. I just wish one day I wake up and it is gone. I am so much depressed as obviously it create problem in focusing on thing. I just cry all day seeing my parents face with dots. I just wish I have seen the world once before knowing this is gonna happen. I am so much depressed and irritated because of this. I have lost my faith on God that why gave me this pain when I had my whole life and dreams in front of me. I think I am just gonna end up doing a common degree and spend rest of my life locked at home. It's so much difficult to look around. I am still thankful that atleast I am not blind but when doctor told me there is no cure yet for it u lost all my faith on God and myself. Please tell me what should I do with my life. I just cry whole day in my mother's lap. I just wish I end up and get free from this pain.

Hi I wanted to ask has your vss improved with time?

Hi I have question for adhd person is better to take notes on notebook or laptop in really confuse can someone help me I’m college student

Will you be doing anymore skeptical witch?

Great video! Very informative and impressive clean note structure!

what font do you use? please 🙂

This is a really informative video. I copied your idea of having the callouts as their own note. Also I found the Solarpunk references fascinating. Reminds me of Ursula K. Le Guin. Also, early french "utopians" like Charles Fourier, and Victor Considerent (who Marx and Engels took many of the ideas for their Manifesto from) and Saint-Simon might be of interest as progenitors of these ideas. People who followed the vision of Comte de Saint-Simon created the Suez Canal (hardly just Utopian). I mention this because I am curious as to what extent economics, imperialism and ideology inform your research. Not sure if you use it but right clicking a note and pinning it will open its links in an adjacent tab (split) which I use a lot. Happy note-taking and thanks again for a great video.

I wish I could do a PHD, be grateful not everyone can do it. 😢😢

Using Obsidian for notes? Fuck yeah!

This is amazing! Thank you!

really solid system you have for organizing your vault. I've also thought a lot about the best approaches to do it. i'm working on an obsidian plugin that helps users stay organized and get the most out of their notes with ai. we have over 1k users and are growing, but the product is still a bit rough around the edges (especially our automatic organization features). you seem to have your vault organization really figured out. so i was wondering if you'd be open to trying it out? would be happy to send a free license.

This made me feel so understood and not alone in those struggles (:

Hi Sarah, great video. Thank you for sharing your time at the cottage with us.

Hi🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹

👏👏

This is amazing and so useful!! I love the way you break down your notes with the callouts, and can visualize everything and I think I'll give it a try your way. My notes are such a disaster 🥲🥲 Out of curiosity, do you have an Obsidian subscription? the main criticism (from Redditor's) is that you can't sync it across devices without subscribing and that the linking is a bit excessive (Frankly, kind of like the Zettelkasten method you mentioned). I'm not sure if it's needed. Can you share your opinion?

I’m preparing for my qualifying exams while also struggling with what I now know is ADHD and I ran across your earlier video on notetaking, which was super helpful. So I was really happy to see this walkthrough because the timing couldn’t be better! It also makes me feel less alone knowing there are others like me struggling through their PhD with adhd. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Thank you for this walkthrough! I am about to start my second year in my PhD and have been struggling to find a good notetaking system. Obsidian looks great! I am going to give it a go for this term 😊

Morning from Hawaii I just watch your video amazing work you are my favorite

Thanks for this update! Came here because I miss y our witchy channel and really miss your videos. Sorry to hear you were struggling with your health and hopefully you feel better by the time you read this comment. :)

Sounds like you're on a permanent acid trip lol

I have the static , floaters, after imagining, and also have black and white spots that appear and go in my vision , ive had for years but had no idea what the hell it was.

This was such a heartwarming vid! I luckily get a pretty decent amount of holiday time but would love to spend it by a beautiful lake 🥰

I like when you show you workflow. I find it difficult to pay attention because of the vocal fry. Keep up with the good work.

Hi, I wasn wondering if you have an accessable template which you use for your notes. I really like the layout and I'm brand new to Obsidian, literally just downloaded it after watching this video as my study year starts again next month. Any tips on how to use it as an ADHD student would be very beneficial. (I am off to check out your other videos just incase you have already made something). I hope youre having a great weekend. Liz

I am doing PhD and have ADHD too. Also my PhD is on ADHD. It's good to watch you doing well in your PhD with ADHD

The power going out after that swim was like a sign 🤭 I'd have jumped right back in 😂 Happy vacationing!

Morning from Hawaii love your summer vacation work you got my support

Hey Sarah, I am a new subscriber working towards my PhD. I am so happy to have come across your channel....Keep on with the updates.

Great video! I noticed that your notes are named with brackets for the reference. I did not know that was possible with Obsidian. Can you explain a little, please?

Seriously love how thoughtful you talked during the little garden montage and how Robin Wall Kimmerer's book inspired you to be conscious of that moment more. Also really like that you include the dates you record on throughout the video because it's something I always wonder about. CONGRATS ON THE PUBLICATION! Thank you so much for sharing parts of your life, look forward to your next video <3

Good to hear you're doing well Sarah! And congrats on getting published. That's awesome. NVXIM is a bizarre story. Was a huge fan of Smallville and Battlestar Galactica when I was a kid and the head of the cult seemed to prey on wealthy and famous people he had access to in Canada. Not excusing anyone's behaviour at all but brainwashing, neuro linguistic programming and the like can have a very powerful affect on people, especially anyone vulnerable and a little lost, like we all are sometimes. Again though, no excuse. Best of luck with it all!

17:28 Oh, boy, I felt that! probably one of my least favorite parts of ADHD is the combination of "don't sleep enough" + "too tired to work". I'm finally getting around to putting together my proposal for my Master's thesis, and the yo-yo of interest between my "special interest" and my coursework is sometimes really jarring. I'm glad you put your article on here, I'm looking forward to reading it! More and more I think I might have to take the initiative and try to put together a writing group for ADHD/Autistic grad students, because it really feels like an entirely different monster than having ADHD/Autism in undergrad.

is DPDR forever or manageable?

Just cure your ADHD.You made this video about your ADHD just for attention

Interesting, I had to drop obsidian due to stress and wanting to play with it instead of using it as a tool. Plus my MSc thesis supervisor and coach were not really into working within it. So it was back to word for me and it was just hell. Love your necklace btw.

Echoing @TheVintageAcademic! Watching your videos is like having an ADHD-PhD accountability buddy! 😄 Trying to get work done during the summer has been such a struggle, but this video was much-needed motivation! (Also, love the Lucipurrr shirt!)

I really love seeing other ADHD grad students making vlogs! It really makes me feel less alone in the experience ♥️ Thank you for sharing your research with us! It sounds really interesting

working on it

well my gma from albany and my gpa from south queen that why uiam from utah like my mom

im a st partick man ok im trying alright wow in god shakes age for a blimp ass fat touge lard ass move no body pal im sorry im unewindind remeber i catch up very well so ok just chill ok got it

hi

apply for studen help with the libary utah downtoen iam adult need some work can do ok threw penn foster

yes the next ten punds to loose are going to suck from ther left over from frank cal hung shit ok i quess this meant fuck you i did cause of you hahaha shmae on and i was right all about you hahaha ill just save my self all on my own have a good one thanks iam trying to rule my life ok

Really appreciate your vlogs and content. I am still in Undergrad, but I have pondered over getting a PhD and all that it entails. I appreciate content like yours as it allows me a glimpse of what that looks like, while I do not have ADHD I do have anxiety so even though it isn't similar your content allows me to see what this process looks like while having something that can take over life at times. Much appreciation and encouragement <3

Also, as an older ADHDer, I would just throw out the possibility of doing less. That has been the only thing that has worked for me, because I know I'm going to run off on side quests throughout the day and there's just no stopping it. I also just have less energy throughout the day and I know once I hit the wall, pushing past it won't get me very far and will only take away from my energy for the next day. Watching your vlogs, I don't know how you do it all! You have a LOT on your plate. I'm not a PhD student, so I'm sure there's a high expectation on you that I'm not a part of, but just something to consider. I think neurodivergents have to find ways to make the world work for them. I'd hate to see you give up on your dream because we expect the academic world to run us over and the only way to avoid it is to get out. There's a lot of room for change in academia, some of which you're talking about with indigenous inclusion, and there's room for change around neurodivergence in academia. Yet, it won't change if we don't start pushing back. Considering how little they want to pay us for our work, I think there's absolutely room for us to do less, focus our energy where it is most effective, and have a better work-life balance. I hope you find a way that works for you!

Sarah, I'm afraid you missed your "meet cute" with the science guy! Lol!

ah that feeling of guilt when procrastinating... so relatable!
