    Goodness me Mel, how did you get thru law school with a brain that turns off when it needs to turn on?? What a legend you are!

      That's probably why the anxiety set in right a out then. I can't imagine anything more mentally stressful than lawschool.

      I actually ask myself the same question. No clue how I did it and then practiced law for 8+ years before finally being diagnosed. When I watched her video explaining her experience, I cannot explain how seen I felt. Now I just fight the frustration of knowing that I shouldn't have been so self critical all those years. It was actually basically a miracle I made it through.

    I love that Mel shares so openly and honestly. Everything she describes points to these incidents - still being stored somatically ie, in the body, as well as in the brain. I wonder if she's ever explored Somatic Experiencing to process and actually release the impact of these experiences?

    Mel, I have started listening to your utube clips over the last three weeks and just during this small amount of time, it have started changing so much in my life.
    My daughter has been trying to tell me over the last year that I am adhd. I I alwaysknew or suspected but did notwant to deal with it. I am way too busy and not in the mood to swallow any more pills.
    Well today I have been rushed to hospital for a suspicion of a stroke. While waiting for the docs... and being in South Africa, I have time on my hands to watch another clip.
    So I decided to face the adhd.
    So much resonates and it is very interesting.
    But there is no way I am leaving my wine or gummies.🙈😂
    Thank you for your beautiful messages and hope that you give to others😊
    You are an inspiration to others🤗

    Hello and thank you for sharing.
    An observation about a student who during an exam stays attentive and focused on the problematics presentation. What's happens in his brain while he listen ? Everything, he acknowledges the concept first, then the different perspectives, thinks about the reasons and the answers, about problematic's subjects and objects moral and ethics, from the self and the awareness of the self, observes different selves, in self and in awareness. It isn't very intense emotionally but on the level of information quantity that flows through his brain, his analysis of what's happening is delivered as a kind of knowing, an intuition, decision, very quickly.
    A jury member starts to speak and for a moment, the student hears a noise only, can't recognize the language they use (!) at this moment nor the meaning of what is said (!) all this in maybe sec but still.
    The PC is blocked or is it something else ? He said it happens sometimes, well often.
    He doesn't know if he has any ability to exchange with others or he immediately knows the answer for him ?
    The situation seems managed exactly like in a lucid dream yet it is "only" a social problem but how can he functioning with others that use other paths, feels frustrated

Was done by her. Weird even retail stores I was going to apply for she got a job there before I could apply. Told my mothe my plans. Big mistake.. Giving up just seemed normal. Yeah, spending Thanksgiving with a woman who's alone me. Was invited by my other sister. Life around family toxic. Also falling in love is a great feeling but it's why people cheat too. Wish that feeling could come back. Slim picking.

    Am I the only one who sees how short sighted this is? The more you concentrate, the less brain activity -> solution: adderals. I mean, come on. Modern medicine is beautiful but also so flawed and barbaric in the way we use it. This is a great example. A better way would be to figure out how to fix or cope WITHOUT adderals, but that doesn't get you profits now does it.
