Welcome to my channel!!! My channel focuses on (pun intended) Adult ADHD. As a Gen Xer who is aging, I find that I need to make changes to diet, skin care, self care since being diagnosed and really learning more about ADHD. Join me in making life changes, removing negative thoughts, getting motivated as well doing the things and hobbies that I enjoy. I also want to be a community where it's okay to talk about navigating through life with ADHD and know I'm not alone.
It certainly was a long nightmare. They say the most stressful things can be moving and death. Life ebbs and flows and I think that since I'm coming out of this difficult period that I'm now realizing that I actually did what I set out to do and I'm at the other side. I'm starting to take care of myself. I am so glad that you were able to find a prescription. How are you doing with the prescription? How do you like your new home?
@@Meg-GenX-ADHD I love the apartment. It's smaller than the rental house we moved from, but in better shape and easier to maintain. Some of the changes on the medication have been slight, but noticeable.
@@HCoons1975 - that's awesome! I'm all for making things easier. I moved somewhere where I do not need to do yardwork. It does free up some more time for me. It's a great feeling when you find the right meds and dosage that works.
Hi ! Thank you so much for thinking of me. I am editing as we speak. It explains where I've been the past 6 months. I hope to have something posted by the weekend.
Finally made an appointment for an ADHD intake evaluation. Starting to see an ENT too. Hopefully some other things will change there and I'll be able to breathe better for exercise. A few weeks ago I started exercising early in the morning. Pilates is helping me feel better. Your puppy reminds me of my sister's dog.
That's great news! I hope you get answers. I can relate in trying to figure out what's going on. Pilates is a great way to help with breathing. I once tried a yogalates exercise online and I couldn't move the next day. I thought I had my asthma under control when I took that walk.
@Meg-GenX-ADHD I don't have asthma. At least not according to the only allergist in the immediate region. But the couple of times I've used it during strenuous exercise, it really helped. I cuss out the pilates instructor every few seconds. She doesn't hear me cause it's a video.
@@HCoons1975 I'm so glad you don't have asthma. It's not fun at times. However, I have managed to not have bad attacks. I have an allergist and take allergy shots. They definitely help. I know what you mean with Pilates. I feel like one more rep, a body part may fall off.LOL
Yep. Same here. Gen X, overweight, and in menopause. Finally made a call to a local to me clinic for an evaluation for ADHD. Strongly suspect i have ADHD, but not confirmed. A friend of mine has a home based business for skin care line for women over 30. One of these days if i have money I'll order her stuff. You're doing a good job of cutting your own hair.
It's definitely a challenge with everything that we expect for ourselves as women and being GenX. We were taught to just deal with it and suppress our feelings. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar years ago, and then I got tested and found out that it was for ADHD. As I learn more about it, I find that I am looking for ways to adjust it to suit me rather than wearing a mask. If you do get confirmation, I would love to hear about it.
i’m healing, living, medicating, reflecting, and self motivating on my own too. it’s unfair. it is- so empowering to see someone else in the same situation and observing it, acknowledging, and still using the tools and trying new angles. i so so proud of you. i’m diligently watching your videos to help me get through the same battle. “god gave you this mountain to show others it can be moved” im only 21. i have my whole mountain ahead of me. if you have the strength, and I know you do, please show me it can be moved 🙏🏋️♀️
It's definitely a struggle, but awareness and knowing the symptoms has helped explain my whole life. You are doing great! The mountain can be moved and us neurodivergent 's always find a creative way to do it. Thank you for these wonderful comments. It's validating the struggles, the cool parts, the uniqueness we all share. ❤
wow. this is such a perfect vlog for me. i may be a whole different generation from you, but this is almost word for word what i vlogged of myself and my adhd struggles this week. i love your vlog format. i talk to my camera the same. wishing you strength, self compassion, and dopamine regulation ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Thank you! I'm so glad that you can relate to the struggles. The fact that the education I've received in ADHD is from the younger generations. ADHD regardless of age is real and it's manageable. The more discussions bringing awareness, the better.
Saturday morning cartoons were the best! I was born in ‘79 so a bit of a cross of millennial and gen-X. Our Saturday morning line up that I loved the best started with “ The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh”, then “The Buggs Bunny and Tweety Show”….after that I forget lol. Because those two were the best and I had to get up super early for those two! I feel it was like 7am or so where I lived. Other shows where “Tale Spin”, Gummie Bears, Duck Tales, Dark Wing Duck. One of my favorites of the ‘90’s was “Reboot” that was the first computer animated series done by the same guys that did the “Money for Nothing” music video.
Yes, I loved them. But got away from them as I moved around the country a bit. There’s a few shows you mentioned I haven’t heard of before. I did watch some pop eye cartoons as well as Beetle Baily. Soo many I’ve forgotten lol. Super Friends! How about Bozo the Clown! Lol. Homie the Clown and Crusty the Clown definitely nailed his attitude lol.
Hey! I'm in the same boat! Fellow Gen Xer here, diagnosed with ADHD at age 56. I just started my own channel too and I think we'll both benefit from the self-reflection. You're doing great, so keep it up!
