This is the most accurate description of what is happening in my head that I've ever heard. I can't wait to show my partner so that he can understand and we can work together on getting what we need.

@skylivingwithadhd 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely fantastic! It's incredibly empowering when you stumble upon something that perfectly mirrors your thoughts. Sharing this understanding with your partner sounds like a great step towards better communication and collaboration. Best of luck on this journey! 😀

This is so timely for me. I was diagnosed, at 60 years of age, with ADHD, ASD, Childhood developmental trauma, and borderline personality disorder (my psychiatrist hasn't worked out which one yet). The meds are working. The EMDR therapy is working. However challenges are still many. Making decisions and not being able to know what to do with my life and days is maddening. To compound all this I have been retired for 4 years, and when I choose something to do I feel guilty. The guilt comes from the trauma. But combine this with what you have described and each day can be a nightmare. Fortunately, I do my planning for the day in a bullet journal each morning and so get the opportunity to see if I am planning too much. The big thing from your video is I know now I have surrounded myself with too much stimulus. I have multiple hobbies, a huge garden, Uni (this will be my 4th degree), piles of work to do around our little farm of 5 acres, and about 800 books in my home library. Ive currently found a new hobby - DIY Book Nooks. Ive always loved things in miniature. I still have a cupboard full of model trains. The book nooks have given me the opportunity to sit and listen to podcasts and youtube content on my conditions. Oh Yeh Im also an avid reader. That's how I stumbled on your video. Ill definitely make my morning bullet journal planning a priority to ensure Im not over doing it. I will start/continue to clean out cupboards and the huge shed of projects which I will never go back to or complete. Thank you so much for putting into words what Im feeling like 🙂

@skylivingwithadhd 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Wow, what a journey you have been on! Thank you so much for sharing parts of your journey with me. ADHD can be hard to manage let alone having other diagnoses too! I’m glad the video resonated with you! I LOVE your book nooks DIY how cool. I have so many I haven’t read 🤦‍♀️🤣 Good luck with the journaling! Sky x

You just described my head 99% of the time, and my husband can't understand why I have so much trouble doing basic things. In fact every single example you gave is a daily occurrence for me and sometimes my head just says 'no more' and shuts down. All these decisions and minutia take valuable energy from me, no wonder I'm always feeling exhausted and overwhelmed before I ever start anything. Tell me though, have you figured out how to prioritize cleaning yet? Because I still have trouble, every...single... time. 😬 I'm undiagnosed btw, my son was diagnosed recently in his 20's, but I can't afford it, so I do what I can.

@skylivingwithadhd 8 месяцев назад

Totally get where you're coming from! It's a real struggle sometimes, right? Cleaning can be a never-ending battle. I've found a few tricks that help, but it's still a challenge. Just take it one step at a time, and remember, you're not alone in this. Thanks for sharing, and keep doing your best! 🤗

Happy to see this put in perspective, I was able to send this video to my husband to help him better understand what I experience, it’s not personal- I care but I get stuck in my own shit circle and freeze up. The missing the dr appointment that I waited for a month… had me , literally happened 2 weeks ago I missed an appointment I waited for 2 months on a list for and now I have to wait again! Thank you!

@skylivingwithadhd 11 месяцев назад

I'm glad the video helped you explain your experience to your husband. It's important to understand that it's not personal, and you're not alone in facing these challenges. Missing appointments can be frustrating, but your openness to learning and sharing is valuable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 🙂

Great description. I'm ASD having been in aspie burnout since forever, and my SO has ADD and is in a long haul burnout too. We kind of don't get much done at all, to say the least. We're in a constant mode of shame of not being competent enough to do everyday things, when we can do other things that normies seldom do (like writing and publishing a novel), is a struggle in itself. Have lost friends over it, them thinking we are only lazy, while we're f*ckin' struggling for our lives here.

Very recognisable. I just skipped one of my jobs. Migraine, tinnitus, insomnia. I just couldnt cope anymore. No productiviteit. Nor at home as well in my work. Glad i am not the only one and it is part of adhd. I thought of myself that i am a quitter because i cannot finish things......i therefor have the feeding I disappoint people and myself also because i have talent and brains, but it is so difficult to find a suitable invirnonment. Btw, just checked several video's while listening to you, hahaha😂 (apologies for my bad spelling and grammatica since "it" corrects everything into Dutch/ Nederlands)

@skylivingwithadhd 8 месяцев назад

I keep asking my therapist why can’t I just be normal?! Everyone else is doing it, why can’t I?!

@skylivingwithadhd 9 месяцев назад

It's okay to wonder why you can't be like everyone else. Just know that 'normal' is different for everyone. Your therapist is there to support you on your unique journey. You're not alone, and seeking help is a positive step. Keep moving forward; you're on a journey of self-discovery." 💕

you said all the things I want to say to myself, for it to understand myself. it happens and i dont know if i really have adhd or i am really just a dramatic person trying to reason what is happening to me and how i do with life. sadly, i think i will never get the chance to get diagnose for lot factors.

@nayswan3136 8 месяцев назад

oh my god, i laugh hard at myself. this is mad. right at the time you said "there are 3 types of ADHD paralysis..", i said to myself, "okay, lets here this one. i am curious which one i might had experienced..." ... Then I smelled a rice getting burnt from somewhere, then bite my nails, then stopped bitting cause i noticed it is not clean, then i am everywhere then on my thoughts, then i suddenly remembered i am listening here. and you already finished the 3 types, and here i am heard nothing. Now I will go play this video again.

@maylissbjerke9204 11 месяцев назад

Both adhd and autism is nevrodivergent. My boyfriend has adhd and I autism, he to get an overload and shut downs( as i like to call it the same)the difference i hqve observed: is he can avtually shut down and shut of and sleep for 2 days if he had the oppurtunity, but my overload is filled with anxiety and insomnia and my mind cant shut down but i get mutism and cant prossess new information and my feelings ! Will anyone with adhd confirm this is the same as paralysis as called in this video?

@skylivingwithadhd 11 месяцев назад

Hey great question! I think they are definitely similar (if not the same with just a different title). Both are linked to overwhelm and the freeze response which causes the person to feel immobile and sometimes mute. Thanks for asking! 🙂

@truerosie 11 месяцев назад

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 51. What you've said sounds like me at the extreme of overload. Possibly not quite the same as the autism experience, but I recognize the pattern you mentioned too. I think it can hit in a few different ways.
