doing a PhD with ADHD vlog: grant proposal writing & dissertation research

Hi, I'm Sarah, a PhD candidate in religious studies, and welcome to another vlog where I document some of my life as a graduate student with ADHD and chronic pain.
I'm sorry this video is so long--I didn't realize just how much I'd filmed! In this instalment of "doing a PhD with ADHD," I discuss my dissertation research and focus on writing a grant proposal for a non-profit I'm working with.
Thank you so much for watching!

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

Thank you so much! I definitely feel that way when I watch your videos too-it makes the grad school experience less isolating and also more hopeful… there are a lot of ups and downs but it’s encouraging being able to connect with and relate to others going through similar experiences! 💜

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!)

Thank you! I agree the summer makes getting work done so much more difficult haha, so I’m glad I can help with some accountability! What is your PhD in?

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

Aw thank you so much for your kind words, I’m glad my videos are relatable! I also struggle with anxiety, so I know it can make academia that much more difficult 💜 best of luck with your undergrad, and if you have any questions or want to talk about doing a PhD I’m happy to chat!
