    As someone who is currently wearing their prescription sunglasses because they lost their actual glasses in the time it took to take a shower, while trying to grow a youtube channel, deal with losing her dad and studying a human biosciences degree and waiting for an ADHD diagnosis, I needed this. 💚💚💚

    Love this video so much!! Getting diagnosed with ADHD over a decade ago really helped open my eyes! I worked with my therapist to find out ways to harness it and tap into the hyperfocus aspect of it, and that was life-changing! I ended up graduating college with magna cum laude honors, and I was never a good student in high school previously! Thank you for sharing all these tips, they're a great reminder and so useful for those who might not have access to a great therapist to help them through this experience!

      @deenapie 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      @@DrFayeBate I think the most useful tip for me was to make a workspace that doesn't have a window in sight, so just facing a blank wall with nothing to distract me, and blocking out time throughout the day with specific goals to complete before that time is up. I find it really rewarding to be under so much pressure to get something done in a constrained time window, but then you feel so elated once you finally finish it! And it being perfect is NOT a requirement, otherwise you'll get stuck and loathe yourself and abandon it eventually haha

    I appreciate your content so, so much Faye. You are very inspiring to me as an ADHD woman currently going through university again to retrain and work in the emergency services. I realised I had ADHD when lockdown and working from home magnified issues I had been struggling with my whole life and it was confirmed when I sought official assessment. My new career is going to suit my neurospicy brain so much better than my last one, but getting through uni again to get to that point has been such a struggle. Your content has been so helpful since I discovered you a few weeks ago (wish I'd found you when I started the course!!) and I'm going to implement some of your tips during this last push. Wish me luck 🤞✨

    It is not adhd every time, ocd is also a lot more distractive. These problems exist but are not taken seriously. Sometimes, it's just stress that is dominating our plans and interests.

    • @mistymoon2752
      @mistymoon2752 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      She didn’t say it’s only adhd. She explained what adhd might look like, her own experiences, and how to utilize or combat the symptoms of adhd. Of course there are many other ways people can seem ‘lazy’ but aren’t actually lazy. They could be burned out, have paralyzing anxiety, stressful situations, ocd, depression, and/or other conditions that make people feel like they’re not doing what they know they’re capable of doing. ADHD is just a disorder where the dopamine in the brain doesn’t function the same as someone without adhd and adhd is most commonly associated to individuals who get called lazy because their brain lacks normal dopamine functions. This is simply a video where she discusses adhd and resources to work around and make use of the disorder.

    hiii! I'm never this early to the comments section (honestly this might be the first comment I've made on her videos) but I wanted to put this out now because I'm already seeing some of those comments sneaking in. She isn't saying everyone has ADHD! I don't think she's trying to insinuate everyone who has been lazy has ADHD, or that if you relate to being lazy you definitely have adhd. If you think you have ADHD talk to a professional or look into the DSM5, this isn't to diagnose anyone. She's just trying to help by reaching out to a crowd she knows will relate. Thank you so much Faye! As a diagnosed ADHDer you have inspired and helped me so much, especially when it feel hopeless. I don't know what I would do without ur videos!

  • @vanessaheegaard2849

    Great Video. Here's a summary of it so you are inclined to see the entire video!
    "Transforming ADHD Challenges into Triumphs: Unleashing Potential with Strategic Approaches"
    Confronting the common misconception of laziness associated with ADHD, this exploration reveals how this neurodevelopmental disorder can transform into a powerful asset for success through intentional methods. Embracing ADHD's distinctive traits such as hyperfocus, creativity, and adaptability is crucial. These traits, when harnessed correctly, can lead to significant personal and professional accomplishments. Hyperfocus, a hallmark of ADHD, can be directed towards productive activities through the 'Flow State'-a deep focus that increases task enjoyment and efficiency. Minimizing interruptions, particularly digital ones, is essential, utilizing techniques like personalized 'Do Not Disturb' settings and apps such as Forest to maintain concentration.
    The creative abilities inherent in ADHD offer substantial advantages in sectors that demand innovative solutions, providing a competitive edge in problem-solving and efficiency. Individuals with ADHD often excel by discovering efficient shortcuts, accelerating the achievement of their goals when this trait is applied positively.
    Establishing structured routines is crucial for those with ADHD, offering external order that compensates for the internal chaos often experienced. Tools like Exiles, a versatile digital workspace, enable the creation and maintenance of these routines, significantly enhancing time management and quality of life. Flexibility within these routines is key, recognizing that disruptions will occur and should be accepted without guilt.
    Addressing 'time blindness,' a common challenge, involves employing techniques like time tracking, using timers, time blocking, and the Eisenhower Matrix, all of which improve time perception and productivity. Consistent routines further alleviate decision fatigue and bolster temporal awareness.
    Both physical and digital environments significantly impact ADHD management. A tidy space reduces distractions, while digital tools assist in task organization and focus. Personalizing environments with motivational cues can also offer encouragement and inspiration.
    Exercise emerges as a formidable ally in alleviating ADHD symptoms, enhancing dopamine levels, and boosting cognitive function. Simple physical activities, whether in structured sports or casual walks, can greatly enhance productivity and mood. Mindfulness practices, such as breathing exercises and body scans, improve attention, reduce stress, and enhance executive functioning.
    These strategies collectively harness the strengths of an ADHD brain while mitigating its challenges, paving a path toward achieving both personal and professional goals.

    This is so helpful!!! Please can you make a video or provide some tips about revising for practical healthcare exams? It may seem like a silly question but is there anything you did throughout med school that specifically helped with the practical side of learning as opposed to the theory. Did you still use flashcards etc? (My current course at college is practical based and I'm hoping to do a midwifery degree so I feel like this would be really useful) :)

    @marronycaro 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I don't know if I have ADHD or OCD, but some of your symptoms applied to me. How can I know If I really have one or is just a minor thing that sometimes happen to me? I'm chronically late- For ex., I'm sometimes punctual but once I turn up late one day, the almost precise minutes or sometimes hours of being late last for weeks and months. I usually go into hyper focus that when someone calls me sometimes I can't even hear them. Having so much things to do that accumulate over time especially when my daily routine is not followed makes me guilty and make me procrastinate more. But I'm also creative, not in an artistic way. Like sometimes I study intensely just for 1 or 2 weeks before an exam and gets high scores because I know that that usually works for me. When I joined my family business, I had many colourful ideas, some are thrown into trash because they were over the top, but some were implemented and made the restaurant what it is today. At the start it literally boosted the profits by 3 times. I left managing it because I was never satisfied with the restaurant. I always think that it can still improve. I wanted it to be perfect and I have sometimes problem being realistic. Any psychology degree out there that can help me? I left university because of family business and I had difficulty with math and never managing a daily routine for studying. I just returned this year after more than 5 years break and I'm watching your videos and those really help me. It's been 3 weeks now that I constantly studying daily for 5-8 hours without breaking my daily routine, and still managing to exercise and watch films at the end of the day. Yesterday it was already too late that I finished studying because I woke up late and so I didn't watched a film to wind up my mind. I'm telling you, I was awoke till 6am. My mind was like on drugs, my heart was beating fast, it was like the sensation of playing till late a video game that you love so much or being in social media or youtube till late. I don't know, like guilty with a mix of enjoyment I think? Guilty because you stayed up too late, enjoyment because you enjoyed doing what you did for the whole night. I was so focused on studying that I didn't care of the time or how long it took me to solve a math problem.

      Hey, absolutely! I’ll attach a link to symptoms however it’s best to discuss with a licensed professional as symptoms of ADHD like struggling to focus can be mimicked by other physical and mental health conditions like issues with the thyroid or depression.
      A general rule of thumb for ADHD is if the symptoms have been present since you were a child, it’s more likely to be ADHD whereas if you’ve only experienced them recently, it’s worth looking into alternative causes with a professional ❤️
