I was not always good at asking help for it now I am better. I believe that asking for help now is a win much better than a lost. I think I tied asking for help into being a burden so it was hard for me. Ask for help was not hard in all aspect of life school I'm always going to ask for help!
(1) you better vlog in the beginning. It's giving. Your lighting is always so good. I live for it. (2) I'm convinced I have ADHD. My phone has been on DND for yeaaaaaaaaaars. most times NO ONE is in my favorites. Sometimes I'll add Shun and Josh or a friend who is going through something. And sometimes that's not even enough. I have to keep my phone away from me. (3) I loooooooooove that you're able to actively engaged. I'm so so so so pumped for you. Let's goooooooo
Ya know I’m just doing what I can 😅🤭 but the way this Chicago weather set up to drop to below zero…I dont know if I will be travel vlogging 🥶 I’m happy I’m actively engaging now too! And also it seems like you’re making self accommodations with the DND and not having people in your favorites or removing your phone all together. Hey, if it works it works!!
Thank you for talking about this! I’m a pre-med who was diagnosed with ADHD after undergrad. Now in my masters, I’m literally a different student. I’m applying to medical school this year and it’s been hard not to wish I had been diagnosed at a younger age. How has your current program been able to support and accommodate you!?
Literally so different it’s kinda crazy. I’ve met with the disability resource center at my school and I have testing accommodations. They actually gave them to me after my initially anxiety and depression diagnosis. Like technically having ADHD is a “disability” and with that you cannot be discriminated against. In order to have the same access to education as your neurotypical peers, institutions have to adjust and adapt to your individual needs that allow you to be successful. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if there’s any other qs that you have
Do you think it’ll always be difficult to get your meds? Or was it bc it was the first time? I’m glad you’re feeling like your full self! That’s a beautiful thing ❤
since it is a stimulant there are monthly check-ins/appointments that I'll have to attend to make sure im not adversely effected and also not abusing the medication since it is a controlled substance. So, yea lol but it's okay. thanks sis, im happy too!
I was on buspirone. My anxiety did decrease on that medication. I believe I was on 10mg once daily, but I still had focus and concentration difficulties
