what a wonderful video! I got diagnosed as a child but neglected it all my life. over the years I developed severe depression, anxiety and anxious-avoidant-personality disorder. I struggled badly in school and in life in general, but as you said: I've always been smart enough to fly under the radar and pass through many things, but as soon as I graduated from highschool, my life started falling apart so so badly. my main issue then and now 6 years later (I am 26) has been and still is: what do I want to do with my life? which kind of work? which major do I choose? (which I already have. but I hate my major and I am very afraid of the jobs that might come from it, thus I struggle badly at college. not because it is too hard, but because I am not in alignment with my choice) my life is a complete mess. I missed out on so many opportunities, I've ALWAYS felt like an alien. everything feels wrong. and now I am so deep in my depression that even things I used to enjoy don't help me any longer. I have been treated for depression for several years now, but obviously that didn't work out too well. now this year I read into ADHD for the first time in years and can't believe how utterly stupid I've been all these years (and my doctors/therapists...) all my symptoms, my entire biography fit SO WELL to having ADHD. now I am trying to get help accordingly but I am severely afraid of taking yet another medication... and my main question remains: what am I supposed to do with my life? which job suits me? and: does medication really help? is it worth the sideffects?
Hey John how are you doing now? I have got exactly the same problems just found out that I have adh and I’m 25. I will try straterra now . I would be happy to hear from you what helped you and how are you doing now ! Greetings Sofie :)
@@1aeugig Hi Sophie , I am in same boat I will start straterra nect week hopefully no side effects how are you doing on straterra please update thank you
@Rabablnc Hi there, reading your comment as if i was reading my life story and i have been undiagnosed all my life taking depression and anxiety meds while i needed to be treated for ADHD. How are doing? And what dose of straterra are you taking?
🥺 literally went from uni to a college and I still continued to struggle but this really validated what I feel in myself. Thank you for posting these, getting medication on Monday
I had to rewind because I was listening to the birds and didn't hear what you said haha. I also have alot of problems with eye contact and fear of rejections. I hope you find all your answers! 💕
Thanks for sharing! I had a lot of struggle and trouble before understanding what was happening, always thought I was broken, but now everything make sense :)

Just read on your other comment that you are 26. I am 28. Sorry if I come off as patronising at all. I only try to help :)

Good luck with the meds :)
I understand how you feel. You're not alone.

I relate with you so so so much. I'm glad that you finally have reasons
Hope you get help for this. I’m still confused as to whether I have this. I struggle with studying and concentrating. I also rarely finish anything.
The Roar Within Thanks. I feel the same in some ways but everytime I look up the symptoms they describe what I go through well.
I love this video! Thank you for making it!
my god this is spot on
I can relate! I am everything and just like you! You are not alone!
Did U take any other meds like anxiety or mood stabilizer
The medication I take now also helps to stabilise moods but otherwise no.
