@@pv-cc8mr Thank you! ☺️

Not a bad fear to have for someone with ADHD :) I used to be late to EVERYTHING. Seems to me like you're on the right track.

@ Something you said in your comment clicked. I started crying; not your fault. I used to miss the school bus all the time. We lived in the country and had to walk 1/4 mile to catch it; we couldn't just walk as the school was 45 minutes away by car. I would get severely reprimanded by my father. I forgot all about that. And now I know why I don't want to be late EVER.

@@thepeddler9226 Oh wow, I don’t blame you. I’d probably have the same fear if I experienced that. You’re stronger than you think :)

@@loribenson8862 Thank you for sharing your experience. I think it’s important that people hear all types of experiences so they can find what works for them☺️

@@pricklypear7497 It can be a big struggle for many. Hope you’re doing ok this year 🙂

@adhd_coach_nic Depression and anxiety due to executive functioning difficulties in my work is a real issue. I have been diagnosed this week with Autism as well, which explains a lot.

Also, Dyanavel is NOT a full glass lol. It’s barely more than a teaspoon for a full dose.

You’re not crazy at all. It’s not easy having ADHD. Just know you’re not alone :) Everything ok?

@@adhd_coach_nic well not really "ok" but im sure things will get better especially after i get a diagnosis and start some techniques to improve my condition

Haha but gaming tho

Aww you’re so kind. He’s been doing an amazing job & he has an amazingly supportive mom :)

Right! It's super helpful. Kickstarted so much for me.

@@nexusfairy3038 I’ve heard good things about it. I actually literally just posted a video reviewing every adhd medication. Hope you find it helpful :)

It can be scary when just learning how to drive. I get how he feels. Glad to hear he doesnt have anxiety at least :)

@adhd_coach_nic the anxiety is for us parents 😄 I would appreciate if you could tell us if rudeness and lack of empathy and introspection is part of the executive function deficiency 🙏thanks in advancr

@@Ddfff-r1y It’s an executive functioning issue (which could be ADHD related or not). It’s easy to give every task equal value. I found it helps to go through the ADHD version of the Eisenhower matrix. I made a video on it you may find helpful :)

@@adhd_coach_nic like could it be adhd?

@ You can only know if you take an ADHD test. My wife struggles with the same thing but she doesn’t have ADHD. Neurodiverse and neurotypical brains do share various commonalities in terms of what we struggle with. There’s even correlations between ADHD symptoms and symptoms of those having gone through trauma. It’s pretty fascinating stuff. But I guess the most important question I can ask as a follow up to your question is “what would it mean to you if it was or wasn’t ADHD?” Like, what is the intention behind wanting to know, for you personally if you don’t mind me asking? I ask because once I know that, I can actually answer the subtext behind the question so I can give you a quality answer you’ll find the most helpful.

@@adhd_coach_nic because I feel confused and find it hard to process information , and feel like cognitive load of information

Oh yeah, anxiety can be real bad! Had it myself for waaaay too long.

I feel you! Took me so much time just to learn how to stop avoinding stuff by taking my time to the max and just seeing "going a bit earlier" as "buying my serenity" to avoid the true annoying stuff xD Nic video on "Ghost Time" talk about it well.

@@nufsaid80 Right! I remember feeling the need to speed because I was pretty much waiting until the last second to leave🙌🏼

From what I’ve seen, working on wxecutive functioning massively decreases the chances of all these things. In fact, it makes you intentional, strategic, and more likely to succeed in many situations :)

​@@adhd_coach_nic Teaching us how to detect and prevent bad situations in our specific life context and in the same time teaching how to develop the skills to be in control and not be controlled (hence the intentionnal part) no wonder our chance of success skyrocket 😄

@@pv-cc8mr Aww, you are so nice. Thank you! All the credit goes to the both do you. You’re both very hard working and very smart so it makes my job easy 💪🏼😉

@@pv-cc8mr You’re too kind 😊I just want people to know they were already born with the ability to achieve their goals. All it takes is a little clarity.

@@pv-cc8mr Hope it helps :) I still need to experiment more with it myself a bit

@@kronamadness7119 happy holidays & happy new year!!!

@@kronamadness7119 What a quality comment. I love how much support this brings, not just for me, but for my audience that needs help. I appreciate it, especially since I’m not an expert nutritionist. Love hearing the peoples take on things. Let me know if you ever find the super magic combo of omega 3 foods (2 bites of salmon for every 1 bite of flax seed 🙌🏼)

​@@adhd_coach_nic My pleasure! I'll share what I can if it can help peoples :) I'm not an expert at all but I'm sensible to what I eat so I had no choice to do many research and experiment (Problem Solving Mode ) Turns out that overnight oathmeal and eating enough proteins helped me a lot in my weight loss journey, since before diagnose my main compensatory mechanism was eating my emotions 😅 I'll gladly share what helped me and how I integrated it in a ADHD friendly manner, an other super practicle subject btw! I do some task batching (mainly by room but it can be by day too) when I'm cooking diner since I'm in the kitchen I also prepare overnight oathmeal in the mean time, I put everything ready in the same zone so it's easy. Like that the next morning I have an optimised breakfast for my health and brain and even better, no decision paralysis not knowing what to eat to start the day T^T After than I rince my bowl to avoid dish accumulation and so on, your video on our habits good and bad inspired me a lot for that, almost became a game :D

@@kronamadness7119 You're going to do very well in life my friend. I can already tell by your direction. Keep going. You've got this! God bless :)

@@paperlady Very good points! I know how common it is for women to not find out they have ADHD until around 30 or even 40 because it doesn’t look how people expect. Glad you’re finding your groove ☺️

@@TechHug Merry Christmas to you! It’s to end the stigma that were broken unless we take meds. People deserve to know they can be the answer to their own problems & I wanted them to get clarity on what to expect. Non stimulants havent offered much different of results than stimulants aside from different side effects, because they don’t teach tangible action steps. Non stimulants also are less powerful in terms of helping with focus. Almost all of my clients taking meds for ADHD tell me how much it let them down so I wanted to post a vid of what they’ve experienced. The highs and lows I was mentioning was about the ability to manage their executive functioning areas. Ex. Focus is up part of the day and then it goes down when the meds wear off (at least with short term release).

@@adhd_coach_nic Fair. It just feels like telling someone with high blood pressure not to take meds and to just eat better. Yes, that can work on its own, but it takes more time. The fastest, safest and most effective way of treating just about anything usually involves a combination. I'm only put off because you left out an entire category of medication and don't take into account factors such as the fact that therapy can take months or years to be fully effective. It also sounds like in this vid you feel that it can only be one or the other. If you're in a situation where you can risk it taking months or even years to work through it with therapy alone, that's great! But for many people, being able to do that is a privilege. That's especially so if you don't have free healthcare. The advice in the video is good. I just feel like it leans a little too hard in one direction. It is important for people to understand that meds won't always work, or for people who can't get meds to work for them to understand that there's hope. I'm just concerned that people who may benefit from a combination of meds and therapy more than either one alone are left out of the equation. It just feels like this isn't nearly as thorough as you claim it to be and is heavily influenced by your own experience. We need channels like yours, especially for minors whose parents won't let them get meds. However, we also can't make blanket statements about how people will experience things. Also, don't clients come to you specifically because the meds aren't doing what they expected?

My son is in high school and has difficulty focusing. Does Clonidine help?

@ Before looking into medications, I always like to look at what the cause of the problem is and then look for practical solutions: sitting in the front of class, allowing a pocket fidget device, having him ask the teacher any questions he has after class, getting tutors, asking him to write a note on what the teachers saying every few minutes, gamifying the process by making each note worth 1 point and then saying he needs 100 points/week to earn a bowl of ice cream or a new toy he wants for example. The things that motivate people with ADHD are urgency, challenges, novelty, and interest. Just a few ideas :) Hope this helps.

@@etmryann I’m grateful to hear that :) just know you are not alone in this

I found that the only 2 reasons people struggle with their ADHD is from setting too high of expectations and lacking in proper systems. You’re a lot closer to where you want to be than you think. You’re not broken :)

@@hindalfalahi3559 👋🏼 Hey! Yeah appetite suppression seems to be normal for it. I’d suggest talking to your Dr. However I will say, just expect them to always point to medication being the answer when in my experience, working on habits works 100% of the time. I’ve always felt that meds just dance around the issue, but working on executive functioning strategies basically puts you in the drivers seat with structure & helps you figure out how you work best. Happy to send you some free tools if it helps :) tinyurl.com/nicsfreenotion

@@kronamadness7119 It’s almost like a right of passage that we become graphic designers first haha. Appreciate it :)

10000% there's nothing wrong with ADHD medication. I just found educating and empowering ourselves can go extremely far. Appreciate the support :) You definitely seem to be an educated "ADHDer"

When I stumbled on the famous"Learn it like you'll teach it" wich is really efficient for us I was so happy because I could work on a better life And help my loved ones, even helped me reconnect with my family, a huge virtuous circle un itself So I get the feeling! :D

@ 10000%

Yeah, it was really rough for me. I read the same thing, but found that it didn't work that way for me strangely enough. My ADHD actually got worse over time. I ended up being really horrible with my executive functioning and it would cause me a lot of anxiety. The only reason I was able to eventually function was because I found that working on executive functioning brought the best results for me. I used the same tactics that helped me onto my clients and they were all able to perform with exactly the same results. It boggled my mind to realize that's all I had to do. I track the metrics with every client and every time its like clockwork now. How are you struggling with your ADHD exactly? Happy to offer any advice I can :)

@@pinkysaroha5231 Oh of course! Hope it helped you make the best decision for you 😊

Love it. I’ll make that my next video :) Always happy to hear more suggestions

Oh absolutely. Medications can make a world of a difference. Strangely, stimulants are the only ones I’ve found to be something I’ve been able to get around just from working on habits and doing them consistently. I thought they were a life saver for so long, but I had no clue how much it’d help my focus if I learned more on executive functioning management. How do you feel you struggle in terms of focus if you don’t mind me asking?

@@Chutebox007 That’s amazing! It was in you the entire time. Tools don’t make or break the person; they bring out the persons potential 🙌🏼

Why thank you. Hope this helps :)

@@kronamadness7119 I really appreciate your kind words. Tell you what, if you can find someone to refer over to me that you feel can benefit from coaching, I’ll send you my gamified course for free. It has every tool you need to manage your ADHD. I usually charge $200 for it but you’ve been so supportive so it’s on the house if you can help me. How’s that sound?

Woaw, thank you so much for your incredibly generous offer! It surprised me like a huge gift before christmas haha. I really appreciate the value of your work and how much of a difference you’re making for people like us with ADHD, I know it's not easy going that way it take a lot and yet I see how you keep offering a helping hand even to those who can be unplesant. It require some strenght of will and it’s genuinly inspiring, so of course your efforts need to be recognized and supported, the care taker need care too! I do know people who could greatly benefit from your coaching, but unfortunately they are not bilingual like me and might struggle with the language barrier, I don't want to waste your time. I’ll still keep an eye out for anyone I come across who would be a great fit for your coaching. Regardless, I’ll continue to support your work however I can because I truly believe in your approach and authenticity. Also, congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family! I hope this new chapter brings you joy and fulfillment, you deserve it. Thank you again for your kind gesture, and I’ll do my best to help however I can :)

@ That’s very kind of you. You actually gave me a great idea. I’m going to make my course in other languages thanks to you. Guess that inspiration deserves a reward since so many people will be able to benefit that don’t speak English. What’s your email? I’ll send it to you for free. Just remember that being a kind person does in fact reward you in life.

@@adhd_coach_nic Hi Nic 👋 I’m sorry for the delayed response, I wanted to take the time to send you an email to properly express my gratitude for your kindness. I’ve sent it to the email linked on your TH-cam profile. Wishing you all the best!😄

@@snowboardingchic You’re not alone. A lot of people have experienced your struggle. We’re all here for you 🙂

@@michael.phelps Hi, hope you’re having a great day! I’m definitely not telling people not to take medication. I’m telling people that in my experience personally working with over a thousand people, that my own clients have proven that their lives dramatically improved from becoming more intentional & structural. We go through the metrics that they score themselves & they tell me their executive functioning improves in areas their ADHD medication leaves them feeling hopeless. I’m basically the person people come to when their meds don’t meet their expectations & I’m actually telling people they can just work on structure in the first place so they don’t have to lose hope. Everything I teach, I’ve gone through myself, learned from working under a counselor, tested & improved many times over, & proven with every client I’ve had. It’s empowering to know one can be capable of managing their ADHD from the drivers seat as opposed to constantly struggling to get expectations met by outside sources. There are many people who can’t take medication, don’t like the idea of it, don’t have the money for it, or realize there’s something more to their struggle than expecting a magic pill to do all the work, especially when it doesn’t feel like a fit for them.

In my experience atomexotine has helped with focus, but consistency comes down to habits and structure. Happy to answer any questions if you need a tip or 2 :)

@@adhd_coach_nic thanks, working on it. Cheers

Your doctor may want to titrate. What’s the issue you’re struggling with that led you to want to try meds if you dont mind me asking?

That's max in my country

@ I’d just been diagnosed and felt that meds would help.

I’m at 36mg and notice no helpful effects. It helps me speak a little better, and I’m not even sure if it has helped me focus better. 1500mg of L-Tyrosine seems to have a better effect than Concerta/Methylphenidate so far (although short 1-2h).

@@brown_cow_123 Thanks for that! How does it tend to help more specifically?
