Life Update: Diagnosed with ADHD and OCD 💭 

Definitely was a well needed video. This helped me realize a lot about myself. I always appreciate your honesty and realness. I hope you continue to grow and heal everyday. It is a process

Btw eva u and Brent should be proud of transcending the usual human status

I’m so proud of you for tracending past the regular human in just in a hotel

Do you have a directional mic? 🤓

nah cos u thinking that u are elevated beyond a human being is insanee😂

You dont have any mental issues, You’re better than the average human being PFFFFFFFFFTT!!!

The first time I went to a psychologist he told me (basically) my fxcked up mental health and the way I act/do things was linked to my childhood assault and I used that (unknowingly) as a cover to protect myself and I gave him one dirty look then left and never went back. Now, somehow, I think I need to go back. Thank you Eva. ❤

To be honest, I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks, almost a year back now when I was 17. And I didn't take any medications for that. At time was the toughest time in my life, I was not the person I used to be. At that time, I was automatically driven to spirituality and it helped a lot, it was balancing me and healing me and it also comes with a lot of self work. I used to spend my whole day to keep myself calm and trying hard to build my confidence again.And finally one day, I felt that I am healed now that day was a blessing from God. The healing process is different for everyone bit we have to do it ourselves. You will get this,Eva!💫

We still remember girl

I 100% relate to the shame you've felt. With poor mental health it often feels like I can never do enough or that I'll never reach my goals or that my life is spiraling out of my control, but when I try to focus and the here and now and the things that I do have control over, things become a little more manageable. I really appreciate you being open about how you've been feeling, it makes me feel so seen and less alone. I'm so excited for you and all this new chapter holds. Keep on doing what you're doing, bc we love to see it! 💗

Thank you for sharing. Crazy how I am going through the same thing at the same time. Kinda comforting to know you’re not alone 🤍

Genuine question: did she ever talk about how she acted a few months in that video? I really liked her but that was really off putting and disgusting acting like a spoiled brat.

I love the real raw uncut content. I’ve been watching you since like 12 I’m 22 now! glad you’re still doing videos life is crazy and everything you’re saying is relatable! God bless you 💕

Do you have a directional mic on that camera?

Thank you for being so open it’s actually very inspiring. Hope your mental health and everything your going through gets better. Your beautiful 💕

I hope this doesn't come off as insensitive, but I've been going through a rough few months too and hearing you talk about your current struggles in this phase of your life gave me a sense of safety and solidarity and I truly appreciate you so much for that.

This video feels like a podcast and I love that 💟 I’m forever loving your content

I have felt feelings of anxiety, isolation and loneliness for years, but recently I’ve had a couple panic attacks in college. I had a severe one last week. I finally am seeing a doctor for them. Sometimes life forces us to deal with things we’ve been pushing off dealing with.

im very grateful for the openness and vulnrability of this video. Ive been diagnosed with manic depression, PTSD, severe anxiety, ocd and am in the process of being diagnosed with autism/adhd. Im really looking forward to hearing more of your journey through life and seeing you be a bit more vulnrable. Appriciate you a lot, dont beat yourself up its not something easy to love with or control but you can and will learn how to live. sending love x

eva. we could care less about how the house looks rn. as a young black woman who’s in this same space right now, it was incredibly healing to my heart to hear you speak so honestly. i have been watching you since the braces era lol, and this is one of the more powerful videos that you’ve let us see, i am deeply appreciative of how soft & authentic you showed up even though it took a couple tries; im sure it is extremely difficult to share, thank you again, love you eva! 💗💗 wishing you tranquility & love

You’re better than the average human being so I hope you get over it love.

These kind of videos are so important and help people connect with others that have the same issues. This video helped me incite to learn about myself and understand why act this way. So thank you, Eva!

Thanks for sharing Eva, I also have OCD and brings me comfort knowing people I look up to do too! She's one of us! Our neurodivergent queen!

I’ve been a fan of your channel since I was like 13, I’m 21 now and I appreciate you talking about this! Thank you Eva❤️proud of you

LETS GOO YOU DESERVED THE ADHD!!!! #TylerOliveriaForTheWin!!!

Turn to God, he is your father, love u Eva, but he loves u more

Thanks for opening up about this! I recently got pre-diagnosed with ADHD (through therapist so no formal diagnosis yet… procrastinating 😅) in my mid-30s, so definitely don’t think you’re late to the discovery. Learning the diagnosis was a relief and explanation for so many things I struggled with like you. Definitely get the overwhelmed so procrastinate then feel shame cycle. I was so motivated at first to learn all about ADHD and bought a bunch of books, but in classic ADHD form, it just became a shopping spree with little follow through. I’m learning to forgive myself and trying to take things one thing at a time. Definitely I won’t immediately learn to cope and have better routines, and it’s a battle everyday. Hoping that after a while, some of the routines will be second nature or less hard. But you are not alone. Hearing you talk about it helped me remember I’m not alone either. I don’t know much about OCD, but you got this. One step at a time ☺️

It's kind of perfect that this video came out today because iv'e been putting off finding a therapist for MONTHS because it just seems like such a big feat. Iv'e been burying all my emotions and I feel like I'm fighting and getting through so much on my own, I need an outlet to let it all out and to talk through the things in my head. I finally started looking for one today right before I watched this video and I'm going to call them on Monday, thanks Eva❤

I'm so proud of you Eva and wish you nothing but happiness and peace, thank you for being so open towards us , love you Eva❤❤❤

As someone who has also been diagnosed with ADHD in their 20s, this video made me feel some relief. I complete understand where you are coming from with your ADHD diagnosis and how much of a struggle it is to juggle everything in life. Thank you for making this video 💕

I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and it’s a struggle. People thought I was weird like “why is she like that?” People think you are retarded and something is wrong with you because you have a IEP in school when it’s nothing to do with that your just unique and need extra help. You also just have a problem focusing. If anyone who is reading this that has ADHD know you are beautiful. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Your amazing and ignore those hatters! Do you be yourself don’t be afraid to do so :)

This video comforts me on so many levels I can’t even explain, I’m happy for you girl❤

I’m sooo happy you’re back! I’ve been checking up on you for the time you had disappeared. Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤ it made me realise that I’m not alone. I’ve been stuck in my life and had a feeling that I’m behind, I’m not enough and I have to do something about it. You opened my eyes and became closer to me by sharing it ❤ we are all humans at the end of the day ❤ love you so much ❤

Eva you inspired me so much! I injured my back one year ago and seeing you do all these amazing things after your back injury motivates me! Thank you for being so honest about everything ❤ you are so strong

Stay strong Eva we’re always gonna be here for you and we will always be opened ears to hear u ❤✨

It was brave of you to attempt to do everything on your own, but we all have to start from the beginning. You did a lot on your own, and you even learned a lot from the stuff you didn't succeed with. There will always be the right tool for the right job. Experience comes from lot of trial and error. The only mistake you made was being in a rush. Fixing up a home is continuous project that goes on for years. Take your time, and focus on one project at a time. YOU WILL GET THERE!

Thank you for taking the time to take care of you and reflect on your needs. Giving yourself grace and time is a superpower. You are important and make others feel seen and important. Thank you!

It's okay Eva, i love you. I love you so much and u inspire me so much with this whole video and your previous ones. You are so damn strong like so strong and i take in everything i can from your videos. The weight of reality can be heavy somedays. I'm proud of you to carry it everyday. Even if you don't carry it well some days, you still don't let go of it. And that's commendable. I'm struggling with my mental health too and I'm in a really bad place where I'm just numb. But videos like these make me feel something again. Im even having a hard time writing this comment right now because i struggle with expressing myself so much😅 but i still want to write this and let you know that let life be. Go in the trenches and stay there proudly ok? Don't put so much pressure yourself so much (easier said than done i know) and you are not a mess, you are a beautiful beautiful soul and you helped me today and now i feel good and i feel like going on a walk now. All thanks to you really. I would really love if you keep making such videos (only if you feel like it and only if you feel healthy enough to do so). We will get through it i hope.

LOVE YOU EVA! LOWKEY HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH 🫶 WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A HUG 🥺

I’m so happy you did a wellness video and updated us! Honestly, watching this and hearing what you had to say about getting a therapist and things will get better gave me so much hope for both the present and the future. Thank youu ! :”)

Sending love to you Eva ! You’re strong 🥺💗all the best for your new journey 💕

I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!! Being in your 20s is hard af and we’re all trying to figure ourselves out and grow from it. But the past 2 years i have been realizing how much ADHD feels more and more like the answer. Unfortunately i haven’t been able to see a professional about it and i need to because i want the relief of just an answer, like am i crazy or actually neurodivergent.

You’re going to be OK Eva. I suffer from acute depression and chronic pain. I see a psychiatrist and it really helps to talk things through. I’ve had so many snotty cry sessions, but afterwards I feel an calming release. I am on meds. But I take things one minute, one hour, one day at a time. I have to tell myself that if I don’t get things done it’s ok. I can try again the next day. You’ve got this. I’ve got this. We’ve all got this. I appreciate your honesty. Thank you so much.😊❤

Thank you for sharing this. I'm struggling with similar things and have been struggling as long as I can remember. I've been researching ADHD for few weeks now and it's making a lot of sense for me. I've been looking into professionals I could talk to about that. You publishing this video right now is my definite sign. Thank you. Hope you find your comfort and please be kind to yourself 🤍

I watched this video when i was already emotional and now I’m even more emotional. Bc when u said that we need to forgive ourselves, i really felt that. I said that i would take this year to focus on me and my goals but my mind is reverting back to previous ways. I think i will see a psychiatrist too bc i am not ok

Love you Eva!!! I’m happy you’re okay ❤ and that’s what I liked about you being so real and honest we need more RU-vidrs like that.

love you eva ❤ i have adhd and i have known for years and fully accepted it. you don't need to view it as a bad part or thing about you. it is just how you are. there are many strengths to it as well and so many great parts of you come from this. society has created a negative view because some things are a lot harder to function with it. but we weren't meant to be this crazy productive. you're doing great at everything be proud of yourself !

Surprised there’s not much hate comments lmao probably it all got deleted💀💀💀💀

Ive been doing so good with my mental health and this video is so coincidental because I was recently thinking to myself that I may have ADHD. I relate to this video so hard. This was so comforting.

i needed to hear that someone is going through something similar to me today! thank you so much eva, we love you! ♥️

Hope you feel better ❤ Eva don’t worry :) so excited for your New York journey!! love you 💕❤ always here to support you bestie !

Sometimes you move through life too fast to the point where you loose things, you loose a nice moment & a friendship that you NEEDED. *Then you feel fxcked & alone.* I pray on your new journey that you feel at home with in yourself & that you CAN have a peaceful soul in a chaotic environment.🙏 Thank you for being so open with us. I love you Eva!!!🫰👽

Eva you have no idea how much this video meant to me. I am actually seeing a psychiatrist for the first time tomorrow after being in therapy for over a decade. Thank you for sharing! I loved this video and all your raw and unfiltered thoughts. It was super helpful and made me feel like I wasn’t alone ❤ Ily 🤍

This video actually brought me to tears when you started speaking about forgiving yourself... i am in senior year and life is starting to feel quite overwhelming... i have no idea what to do with my life and we have to make so many decisions. Thank you for this video, you made me feel less alone 💓

You should be really proud about yourself 🤍 we all should just talk about those small things in life no matter how small or big they're. Thank u for telling the world about the way you feel .

Can I just say that your a very beautiful and inspiring individual. Your real, authentic, and your positive energy is contagious even through tv screens. We love you 💚

I really appreciate the transparency. Hope all is well. ❤

I can’t even express how proud I am if u, u deserve all the happiness ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

i'm crying. this is such a beautiful video and message. thank you, eva.

Thank you for making me feel like Im not just one big mess! Your videos do so much for every one of us

Girl I also have ocd and adhd and it’s not easy!!!! Thank you for making me feel a little less alone!

You are amazing for being so real. I love listening to you talk. Keep us updated re podcast❤️

Everything is fine girl 🤍 you got this. I’ve always related to you. Long time supporter here for you. Stay well 🙌🏻 Happy Easter

I was 13 when i got diagnosed with OCD and 21 when i got diagnosed with ADHD and that’s when it all started clicking haha. You’re not alone! ❤

Ugh I love you so much. You're so strong and we're here with you ♥️ you got this

I'm going thr so much right now and losing the self-confidence I have always had... but this vid/ you really helped me!!! THANK YOU EVA I LOVE YOUUUUUUU

This video really resonated with me. Especially the part where you said that simply talking to a therapist didn't help you find the root of some problems and only treated the symptoms. Will definitely look into getting a psychiatrist diagnosis now.

We love u Eva. Thanks for coming back

Just know that we're here for you

Omg I just told my boyfriend how ADHD correlates with OCD and how I want to go get tested so I can improve my lifestyle and then I see this. I hope you’re doing okay!

I just started watching this video, but there's something so refreshing about Eva's content lately, I just love putting it on like a podcast and just taking it all in and having company ♡ Edit: I finished watching it and i am so excited for u now that u know urself better and have maybe something to validate ur thoughts and ways of doing things and am so fucking proud of just u. Just Eva.

Ow eva, i missed your videos, what I love about you is that you are so human, At the end we all are. I happy to see you sharing your life, thank you 🫶

Eva, the shame cycle and depression is such a real thing. I’m now in my early thirties. I have several diseases and co-infections along with more debilitating symptoms. I’m going to a new clinic tomorrow which includes many doctors for treatment, including a psychiatrist. It’s really dumb but I feel shame for my feelings, when I feel sad or have unpleasant feelings. And I also feel very behind in life. Thank you for sharing. Hope you find the treatment that’s right for you ♥️

i love you eva, you inspire me in so many ways

Girll I have the same two diagnoses as you and the ocd diagnosis unexpectedly knocked me out too. Trying to understand how to live life outside of compulsive behaviours and obsessions felt completely impossible and I haven't heard anyone describe it that way, but I totally understand where you are at. We gonna get through it, even one step in a good direction matters💗

I found out back in my high school years to be diagnosed with a learning disability since childhood, but don’t know what kind I have until few months back I realize the symptoms I’ve shown is what’s known to be an ADHD which explains a lot; including that I have social anxiety. Much respect in you opening up about it to making me feel more less alone and to not be ashamed about it but to embrace our curse that makes us unique ❤

I just hope every person gets to the point of clarity and understanding themselfs, understanding life how they trully percieve it, the meaning they trully want, that you will never be the same, not even one moment, you are always changing, even if you think you are there, you know you are never there, and it's beautiful, it's life

A reminder that everything happens for a reason. Life has a funny way of working its own way out and your mental health will always be up and down but I can promise that everything WILL be okay❤️

I understand you may feel behind in your head, but you are not behind on ANY timeline. You are doing an incredible job. No one has a perfect/ideal life and truly no one can live your life better than you do because you’re the one who has experienced every part of it and you are still standing! That’s victory! You know what the best next steps are!

i had no idea you were going through that, but like you said we'll get through this together, we got you Eva. Love you

Don't worry we're all here with u ♥ 💓 ❤ 💖 💛

I'm so proud of you Eva🤍 you've inspired a new journal prompt for me; things I should forgive myself for🤍 you words of wisdom and just sharing your experiences, couldn't come at a better time. Thank you for being a big inspiration🫶

I loved watching this Eva! Your experience finding out about your OCD is so relatable… I didn’t think my compulsive thinking was a disorder, I just blamed myself.

I found out I have inattentive ADHD by accident when I was 35(this year). i was going for therapy depression and anxiety after I was diagnosed with cancer. After I finished my 1st year of cancer treatment I started doing my master’s and kept going for therapy. In the last year I shared with my therapist that even though I finished my treatment completely I still can’t concentrate and some other issues. She suggested to do the test and I found out I have it. The weird part is after I heard the symptoms I realized I always had them since my childhood but in mild symptoms and my trauma increased it. Now I understood why it was always difficult for me to concentrate in the class, why I can’t memorize things easily, and why I cannot focus on my surroundings. I actually thought I was procrastinating. Now I realized I am not stupid or not as good as my piers. However, the funniest thing that I did the test last year and I was told I have it but for a reason I don’t remember it and I didn’t go back until this year I went with suspicious of OCD and I found out I have both 😂😂😂😂

Eva you have always motivated me and made me believe in myself whenever I watched your videos, up until today, I look up to you and you are a role model for me, Eva you are stronger than you think you are and it's OK to take a break and small steps are also progress 🌼😊🥺

OMG Eva!! You made me want to cry, don’t be so hard on yourself. You seem like a strong out going young woman. I hope you can work this out, which I am sure you will.🙂❤️

Connected to every point you made in this video. I’m at my worst right now, I know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel but it’s just too dark to see. Thank you for talking about your mental health, made feel less alone.

I have OCD too! Helpful to hear you talk about forgiving yourself.. something I sometimes don’t even realize I need to do

heyyy evaaaa, thanks for ur update, praying it all works out for u smoothly, and also ur not alone, iv been struggling too since forever it seems, so big huggggggggg, u made me feel better from this video

Awwww ilysm!!! Thank you for sharing this with us, you deserve the world!!

Im so proud of you. The house looks great 🤍

I feel this every single day, and I’m tired of feeling like this. Thank you for sharing. I get motivated and then burn out so quick. It’s hard to balance life

*I describe mental health to like a car. You need to maintain it, take care of it + maintenance needs to be done regularly. If you don’t, your car will start causing much more issues. Then your “check engine” light will come on - we need to normalize therapy more + encourage others to keep up their maintenance (self care) before their check engine light comes on and you are dealing with many more issues all at once.* if any of that makes sense. 💕

I love these talking videos Eva. They make me feel calmer and less alone:)

I LOVE U EVA SENC I WAS A CHILD U CARRYED ME AWAY IN HAPPYNESS!!!! I LOVE U SO MUCH IM GONNA CRY

I have been thinking about seeing a psychiatrist for those exact reasons. I’m here for you Eva. I’m graduating with my masters in a few weeks.. and I feel like that would open up some free time in my life to understand who and why I am!!

Hello Eva thank u for this video I have ocd and was diagnosed with ocd this year , I’m 17 years old , and when I was much much younger I always felt shame from my thoughts , it’s so so hard to understand or grasp that ppl do not think compulsively, and that it’s not the norm. I also have adhd aswell and I haven’t felt as much shame talking about my adhd as I do with my ocd , I feel like it comes from stigma and misrepresentation of ocd, I always have this obsessive fear that ppl won’t understand me , when I open up to them about my ocd . Anyways again thank u for this video❤

As someone who recently got diagnosed with bipolar disorder hearing your experience with finding clarity I relate to so much. Love you eva

Thanks for sharing Eva, you’re truly the best ❤

Thank you for your honesty, I needed your pep talk at the end of this video more then I knew xxx
