This video is about my experience with undiagnosed ADHD. I talk about what highschool, CEGEP, University, Cooking & Sommellerie school was like for me! You can find me at missleadinglya...
I relate to soooooo much of this! I had an amazing GPA and high school, wasn't disruptive, got everything done, looked like I was paying attention. But I was daydreaming 85% of the day because I was bored and antsy! And in college, I skipped classes so much! I now realize it was because I was bored and restless and couldn't change the "playback speed" to 2x faster. It was agonizing to feel like the class was moving so slow. I would put off homework and studying because I didn't know how to break tasks down into realistical chunks for me. And couldnt sit still to do them. I look back and wonder if I would have gotten more out of my education if I would have had more of the systems and strategies I figured out once in the work field. And I can relate to the anxiety thing if getting called on as well. Thanks for sharing!!
Love your video post, that is so valuable and helpful to listen to... look forward to your part 2 where you tell us the steps that brought you closer to your right path.

Thanks for the idea! I will definitely do a video on what brought me closer to my path :)
Must have been really hard for you, all those years not finding a place where you fit in... Now you made me curious about part 2 :)
