Having an ADHD brain is like having two sides coin. You get creativity, out of the box mind, whereas on the other sides you are suffering from too much thinking and hypersensitivity. Your brain often sabotage your daily life and tasks. All my life I'm searching for the button to pause my brain activity. My brain is like a bustling city road in the developing country. I wanna have 'the spotless mind', sometimes.
I have severe ADHD and I'm not sure if I've ever experienced hyper focus. I can focus a little better on doing things I enjoy like distance running or playing guitar but I'm not sure if I've ever Hyper Focused.
Difficult being a woman with ADHD some men see it as a threat, people see you as obnoxious, weird or attention seeking or crazy and it's a lifetime of torment and social exclusion I hate it.
That sounds like deeper insecurities there as well sorry. We all have em, I actually started excludeding myself from other people recently because most people like me but I don’t like them. I’ve been trained to be nice from a very young age, despite what my brains thinking. Because I’m adhd, and think way too fast, I feel like I’m ‘acting’ normal/just saying what people want to hear sometimes so I don’t come off as hyper. Combined with a mixture of depression and imposter syndrome, I think I’m at a point I’d rather be obnoxious and weird then feel fake.
I am pretty sure I have adult adhd but I haven't been to anyone to get diagnosed. Recently I had an MRI, not related to adhd etc, and when I saw the results it was noted I had non-specific scattered T2 flair white matter. Is it possible that is related to adhd?
Do people who have ADHD feel things differently Cause I have adhd and I want to know if being happy for a normal person and being happy for a Adhd person is the same thing or not including other emotions?....
People with ADHD can experience emotions differently compared to those without ADHD. The differences often stem from the unique ways in which ADHD affects emotional regulation, sensitivity, and reactivity. While the core emotion of happiness itself is the same for both people with and without ADHD, the way it’s experienced and expressed can differ significantly due to these factors.
Does people with adhd experience world differently than neurotypical people. Does they feel same about the world or is it just the regulation of emotion and distraction which is hard to control for them?
No they dont look through the same lens. To give you an exemple: take a quiet lake, you have some task to do but 15mn of contemplation of this lake will not trow you out of planning. If you're typical you can focus only on the beauty of the lake and keep at bay : your planning Meal The children playing around The dog pooping Your clothes sensation Etc etc And 15mn have passed you moove on with your life , good for you. Now take on adhd for the same 15mn.... Add all the stimulus above that they can't keep at bay, add a loud train of toughts on the list, and 45 mn after begin running cause your are late for your appointment. In bref Timeblindness Non stop toughts No possibility to filters the noises sensation or your attention Some time physical restlessness And yes i forgot you easily jump from complete excitation and joy to deep depression some time 3 time during the day or weekly especially when you forgot to eat properly.

Then, after washing dishes done, your brain was intriguied again by the bathroom floor. You suddenly had the urge to clean the bathroom floor. And then, taking shower took a lot of time which resulted in being late at work.
That hasn’t been my experience. I have ADHD and it really does feel like the strengths outweigh the negatives. I am not saying it is the same for everyone and being different has caused many challenges. But having a balanced view has been most helpful for me and allowed me to navigate choices that suit me vs trying to always fit into less ideal circumstances. I don’t feel mentally ill or disabled. But I recognise some do and likely are.
Unfortunately for me after spending many years undiagnosed , my ADHD causes depressive episodes & chronic fatigue syndrome, amongst all of the negative symptoms that accompany ADHD, procrastination, time blindness, racing thoughts, constantly burnout etc etc. I don’t experience many if any at all of the positive attributes associated with ADHD. Family & friends have heard me many times, (most recently when I was rushed to hospital for trying to unalive myself) saying that ADHD is ruining my life. I hope this doesn’t come across as though I’m invalidating your experience with it though. It’s actually refreshing to hear how some people manage with ADHD, well enough they would regard it as an improvement on their own character; as opposed how I feel which is dysfunctional, burnt out, and constantly fighting against myself causing me to be extremely fatigued more often than not.
I’m so sorry for all the pain and challenges you’ve experienced. I hope you find the care and support to make this all less painful and a burden. Please know I’m not saying it’s been easy - I’ve definitely experienced the insecurity, crushing burnout, and general dysfunction of ADHD. I guess I am lucky in some ways to have been raised by artists and sort of learned to lean into a lot of the more positive sides to ADHD. Fitting in is very difficult but there is some freedom outside of some of those expectations. I wish you peace and love.
You're "forced to tolerate" the fact that another person's brain works differently than yours? That is an interesting viewpoint. I wonder about what are all the flaws that you personally have that others have to tolerate.🧐🤡

I have it and it’s not a superpower like many idiots say. It’s debilitating
U defined it in very funny 😂 yet i know its painful and Hard
It’s both, look at elon musk. He wishes he could turn his brain off too, but thanks to his brain he is the most successful man today.
This was so well said btw. Literally though if you can surround yourself with other quick thinking people I think that helps the most
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 41 .. nobody had a clue including me what was happening to me of the famous ADHD symptoms
Love to see an ADHD brain during hyper focus.
Probably a blinding light haha.

@@nathanforrest3483 music can be a very absorbing hyper focus. Do you absolutely hate stopping a song in the middle?
@@scottmichaelharris yeah it bothers me a little.
I am intrigued with your statement that 50% of CEOs have ADHD. Any sources for that?

Sounds more like histrionic personality disorder.

Do we have any details on the differences in the patients of the two images in terms of age medication? Is there anywhere I can find the research?

No, those are just seen in some people, likely related to aging but we don’t actually know what they are.

@@tom17777 ADHD in a month will experience evil chain like this: overjoy, burning out, extreme depression, normal mode, overjoy, etc
ADHD in a day :

What do u think causes dyslexia? I've always known I'm different although I've tried badly to just fit in.exercuse helps me a lot
Lazy Ness is brain based as well
It don’t matter how creative you are if you can’t get yourself to focus on it and do it like me
True😅😢
Oh the first sentence ❤❤❤

@@sarahhartman5723 can you give some examples of these strengths and how they helped you specifically?
@@sophie_williamsss hugs girl 💅 🫂
Much more annoying, exhausting, frustrating, etc..as well. These people destroy lives and make otherwise mentally well people unwell.
I'm sorry but what exactly is normal and who defines it?
Are you referring to people with ADHD here?
If someone is that bothered by someone ELSE that has ADHD, I’d say that person is not mentally well either… just in a different way. 🤣
