    I suffer from imposter that my adhd is not real. I got diagnosed as an adult and feel I made this up too avoid taking responsibility for all that didn’t go how it supposed to. It usually happens when I am already in a cycle of burnout and then every decision is a nightmare because I want it to be „perfect“. It’s so hard.

    There has to be a professional out there that doesn't see it as a disorder, and gives this differently-patterned, perfect-for hunter-gatherer-times kind of brain we have the grace it deserves. The inaction, the paralyzing effect the brain has on the body sometimes, it's about stimulation more than anything. There's too much pressure, and a lot of burnout because we feel we can't move to the same pace as a "normal" person. We have our own pace. Our own drum to march to. And besides grace, encouragement - and to not always hear about shortcomings but instead successes. To not feel even ADEQUATE to the average person, it eats at you. It's conditioning. It didn't start within, the doubt that builds year after year of trying to fit in, keep a job, study at a quicker pace, whatever. If it's really a disorder, then where are the accommodations? I think the name itself and the general negative outlook/view of ADHD is problematic.

  • @niftyflex
    @niftyflex Před 5 hodinami

    hot tip: I have horrible sleep inertia (if I don't help it, can take up to 2-3 hours, I also have ADHD). What without fail seems to help me be alert and fresh is taking a shower and while in the shower do a super quick self lymphatic drainage of the subclavian lymph nodes, neck and face. It takes about 2-3 minutes. It feels like it washes away brain fog. This is especially needed if you tend to be someone with chronically tight neck muscles, as this can slow/reduce lymphatic clearance from your head. There are some medical conditions where lymphatic drainage is counter-indicated (e.g. cardiac insufficiency), so ask your medical professional first before starting to do this.

    I can definitely attest to keto improving my bipolar II moods, as well as my brain fog. I did unfortunately have to stop keto, but I've stuck with a relatively low carb diet and avoiding added/refined sugars and most simple carbs, so I still see benefits like mental clarity from decreased inflammation and fewer blood sugar-related mood swings. Keto, when done correctly and responsibly, can be life-changing. And refined carbs are the frickin' devil. Thank you for another top quality educational video, Dr. Marks!

  • @elizabethclaiborne6461
    @elizabethclaiborne6461 Před 5 hodinami

    ADHD is not a mental illness. It’s a neurodivergence. Most “bipolar” isn’t. It’s used as a catch all cause shrinks are lazy. They’ll gaslight you before bothering with either science or observation. All those older ADHD people were “bipolar for decades, and arbitrarily given anti psychotics. Manic depressive disorder is pretty obvious. The murkier “bipolar” was dreamt up by a marketing firm because a catchall that could be given Zyprexa meant huge profits.

It was my way of surviving. Crazy how you have multiple diagnoses and still not find an answer. No pun intended.
