Thank you guys for loving me as I am! Means more to me than you’ll ever realize - Komedie
Totally understand that. I went to get my teenager diagnosed -- at 14, finally -- because I saw autistic traits in him. It didn't occur to me that I had it myself -- at 34 -- until his neurologist confirmed it by the tests he unofficially gave me, so get me started on my diagnosis journey. My parents disregarded my ADHD diagnosis, and I'm still being told I have BPD and Bipolar, and C-PTSD... and I'm Tired! I'm almost 40! I finally had someone listen and see my diversities, and not just think it's because of something that happens to me. I could've gotten so much help, and could've thrived, if they just had recognized what was happening. I felt in my gut that you, Domo, was neurodiverse, but it's not up to tell you who you are and what you have. I'm no doctor! I just noticed your beautiful uniqueness, and I love you. I'm so happy you see that you have a diagnosis, help, support, progress, and acceptance. You are gonna thrive, and I'm so proud of you
My eyes got moist reading this. I’m so happy you have answers now & I’m so so proud of you too 🥹 thank you so much 💕
I love you guys so much. Thanks for being here for me 💕🫶🏽
We love you Domo!!! You're such an amazing person ❤️
Proud of you domo for all you do I feel like a big sis cheering you on
You’re not alone 💕 we are here for you.
I LOVE YOU TOO DOMO. BEEN FOLLOWING YOU SINCE BEGINNING OF FB.
In your mom's defense, the medication that they were giving children around the time you were initially diagnosed made those kids walk around like zombies. It also made them completely lose their appetite.
I'm sure she felt she was doing what's best for you.
I'm glad you are finding the missing pieces for yourself. 🖤
I’m a child psychologist with a disability, and I just want to thank you for advocating for such an underserved group of people who, like everyone else, deserve everything and more❤️
ADHD in women often gets diagnosed later because we aren’t hyperactive, that’s the trait men possess. Women are more so day dreamers , forgetful, we lose things , and can’t focus … they all get looked at more so as personality traits. They call us quirky, spaced out , ditzy Etc . I’m currently in the process of getting tested for ADHD in all honesty I haven’t been biggest fan of Domo as I used to be but I resonate so much I truly feel I was meant to see this . I too have always felt different , life seems so harder for me .
It took me years to get my diagnosis! My husband has ADHD as well and it took us sitting down and comparing experiences in depth for me to finally come to terms with it. 25 years of struggling and I feel free
I have ADD, bipolar, depression, and anxiety. Yes my son inherited everyone, with the right medication my baby is now 17, straight A student and graduating this year. It was too late for me to get help, but on my own after being kicked out of school because of my age in middle school after failing 2 grades both 6th and 7th, I did go back at 28 and got my GED and I strutted down that isle with cap and gown to me knowing my self worth lol. Good luck girl, keep faith!!
Weird because I also have the same 4 diagnosis as you do and it’s hard for me to manage even with meds! Isn’t that a crazy coincidence lol 😂 How do you cope? What advice can you give me to make things better because life gets hard I’m struggling right now ..
You’re amazing . I have adhd with out the hyper activity & I went to college & graduated valedictorian.. if I can do it so can you . You got this Domo .! Prove to the people that you can go to school & graduate .! You got this . I believe in you
Domo you are phenomenal and amazing. My 13 yr old has Adhd combined, anxiety and depression as well as showing some signs of autism along with being dyslexic. She is very bright and verbally intellectual. No matter what you being you won't change with knowing your diagnosis. It may be a battle but that's was makes life more interesting. Love you too pieces and never give up.
I am literally going through this. I am also in my late 20s. Being in therapy with the right therapist and being properly medicated has been making my life make sense for once. I’m currently being evaluated for ADHD and PTSD. Those ADHD memes started making wayyy to much sense to me. 😳 Recently found the courage to ask my therapist and she had already been looking into it for me. This video made me feel so seen. I’m all teary eyed. Thanks for posting, it was so meant for me to see. I don’t ever get notifications this fast. lol
I am so proud of you Domo. The mere fact you sought help, which is the best thing you could have done for yourself. It's nothing to be ashamed of, I too have family members that have been diagnosed as well. Actually you guys are very smart. Keep fulfilling your dream of becoming whatever you want to be. Love you girlie!!!!
I navigate with ADHD too I was diagnosed on January 28th 2022. At the time I was dealing with my parents divorce. I just like you was doing research and I was in class when I realized it as well. My mother, a therapist who navigates with ADHD as well, said the same thing to me! It's hard sometimes, I completely understand you! I call it my super power. Our brains are different and that is okay! I was upset when I found out but what helped me is doing more research and figuring out what works for me and if something doesn't work for me then that's okay. Our brains are special! You are so strong for being this transparent with us! I applaud you in so many ways than one! I love you!! (ADHD Awareness Month is October🧡)
Totally understand, US AS BLACK PEOPLE HAVE ALOT GOING ON! OUR PARENTS BE IN DENIAL!! About Couseling n everything, it's not a Bad thing! I will continue to pray for u, Domo!! Prayer works
Haven’t finished the video still watching but proud of you and you speaking out will probably help so many who look up to you. Keep on keeping on
I wouldn't say you are a new person, you just leveled up and elevated yourself to the best version. You are always amazing no matter this diagnosis or not.
You’re correct the perception of being medicated and illnesses in the black community is crazy. I’m 40 and I have an 7 year old and feel something is a little off like it could A.D.D. Or A.D.H.D. And I was telling my soon to be 60 year old mother and she was like ain’t nothing wrong with her but I’m a 24hr 7 days a week mother. My mom doesn’t see my daughter on a daily basis mainly holidays so she doesn’t see what see. When I was diagnosed with my illness my mom said it was all in my head. When I needed glasses and my kids needed glasses I found out we all had astigmatism and mom was like yeah I have it and I was like👀 when I got thyroid cancer she claimed to not know anything about it and that it doesn’t run in her family. My parents are so secretive about illness’s even when they get sick they never say anything. I note everything that I’ve got and gone through so that my kids know and isn’t surprised like I was.
Your story sound so much like mines. I went through all of my school years knowing something was different about me and I was diagnosed with short term memory lost in 3 rd grade. I still struggled until I was 25 and went to a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with adhd and bipolar 2 disorder. Now being medicated and knowing what’s wrong makes a difference. You got this with school !
You are NOT dumb!!! I’m so proud of you for sharing. Don’t be afraid to be you cause we all love you.🙏❤️💯
I'm a big mental health advocate and I'm so happy for you, I know it's a weight lifted off of your shoulders. Praying for your journey 🙏🏾
Finding out your diagnosis is such an emotional feeling. 🤟💖 I love you!
You can do this baby girl getting diagnosed and coming to terms with everything is the first steps! My 29 yr old son was diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia, and Tourette’s syndrome all 3 when he was 9. I was a single momma we lived in a very small southern Indiana town so for me to get him the best help I could get at the time I took him to neurologists in Indianapolis. He’s doing pretty good now in his life. So even if it wasn’t everything it is you and everyone who loves you will love you still!! I’m really happy for you honestly he has had a lot more trouble with Tourette’s and dyslexia than the ADHD. I think I might have ADHD and need to get evaluated. I’m so proud of you!! All this will only help you in life to take the best care of Wick that you can!!
Domo, you and I literally have sooo much in common to the point it’s scary! I was diagnosed with adhd at 28 ! This June I knew something was different about me but I never thought it to be adhd until I saw a therapist and told her how stuck I felt and how I’m not where I should be yet I didn’t feel depressed or anything. I was evaluated for adhd in June and indeed I have combined type adhd. I’m starting school Tuesday September 6th! I’m sooo excited and prepared you don’t even understand ! I’m on Vyvanse now it seems to be working so far.. I’m so excited to how I learn now. I love you Domo and I’m so happy you found out as well ! I’m so excited for you ☺️
I am so glad you went and got evaluated, a lot of our people don’t believe in it. I pray you continue to do and be well. Continue to strive and thrive and be the Domo we love!💜
Yesss. I just commented this on your last video!!! So happy you have answers. I was so glad to know where all my “issues” from. and then manage from there. learning coping skills, what symptoms to manage, why we feel so much more strongly than others… etc . i’ve learned so much about my self after getting diagnosed.
No matter how different you are after meeting you behind the scenes behind the camera three times and hanging out with you at Starbucks I still stand on my word that you are the most amazing, humble, goofy, amazing person that I’ve ever met behind the camera. The fact that you’re very unique in your own way and I love it completely. I wish we would’ve gotten more opportunity to hang out together But I’m always praying for you and your amazing son. I’m now a mother now and watching you grow from the teenager that you were when you first started CZcams and social media is such an amazing blessing to see how you have grown. Never give up and always remember you are unique and it’s a beautiful thing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Im a Licensed Marriage and family therapist and I experienced the same diagnosis. You got this boo. Thank you for transparency as well as the culture of families unwilling to accept or consider treatment. We love you girl ♥️😍🥰
You will excel. Glad you reached out for support and got help.
I felt the exact same way when I was in school. Adhd is so crippling and I’ve had it since I was 16. You talking about this gives me so much confidence and inspiration. Brother went to college is successful and I’ve never felt like my family views me as equal . But I graduated high school and I couldn’t finish college but in the proud mom of 2 preemie children now. My daughter also just got diagnosed with adhd as well. Thank you so much for this, mom to mom I appreciate you and you are so strong. Thank you for everything stay strong 💪🏽!
Thank you for sharing your story Domo. It’s important to raise awareness and remove the stigma of mental health and different abilities ❤️ 🕊 You are an amazing parent!
As a parent i totally understand. My 10 yr old has ADHD, O.D.D and anxiety. His anger goes from 0 to 1000 real quick. He takes 7 medications on a daily basis. Im still learning how to work with him but my grandmother always taught me to Never be ashamed of how god made you. We all were made different for a reason and a purpose. Keep pushing and understand you are not alone❤️❤️
Domo this is why I love watching you, your absolutely so relatable. I have a son of my own right now I’m suspecting ADHD or ASD I work in the field so somethings are really easy for me to catch my family thinks I’m crazy and this why I’m in therapy now because I been struggling with it on my own. I didn’t speak until 3 1/2 yrs old always felt out of place had tons of friends but always felt like I didn’t belong in any group. I got good grades but because I learned how to hustle it bc other than that it was hard for me to pay attention. Now as a mother a lot of things are making sense to be honest and all I want is to make sure I give my son everything he needs be successful my mother never through with an assessment because she didn’t want to give me a label but I’m just like dang mom I needed help!
I had self doubt my entire life till I was about 23- my son had his autism diagnosis… I didn’t know I was adhd till about three years ago… but the closure you get from having your questions answered is incredible
Domo I Love YOU!!!❤️❤️❤️ I Can relate sooo muchhhh and you inspire me so much and so many others!!! Thank you for being so true and open!!! I’m proud of how far you’ve came!!!🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so proud of you Domo! My mom had been told I had adhd since I was 6 and she had the same fears that your mom did about getting me the help that I need. She finally had me diagnosed at 13 and I hated the meds (I was for sure zombied out). Never took them. At my adult age now, I can take an honest look back and see how not having the right treatment has affected me. In 2018 I was diagnosed with my first MENTAL health disorder and those meds had me feeling worse than the adhd meds used to. And I have SIX sons to chase behind. So I stopped treatment again because I already know its ADHD and when not treated accordingly can definitely get worse and mask itself like all sorts of things. Last week, I FINALLY reached out to my healthcare provider to be Evaluated for Adult ADHD so I can also get my life together. Mentally?? I'm so focused. But getting my body and my brain to move simultaneously???? GUURRLLLLLLLLLL I need help. Shouts out to you on your new journey. I am literally right there with u boo. HEY DOMINIC!!! I remember your mom from fb long before u arrived and shes not lying when she says that she has been dreaming about you her WHOLE LIFE! I love yall. I love it here. Keep thriving mama ur doing great! -Starrship-
You inspired me to get re-evaluated again. I had a horrible experience with my first psychiatrist in 2014, I was sent to a mental facility against my will and she didn’t explain the process to me what so ever and I ended up with a mixture of people who were suffering from severe mental functioning to mild mental functioning. It was scary, horrific, and completely unethical that the woman was later fired (Thank God); I was worried that, that might happen to me again…but today I cried all day because of some unfortunate problems in my life and I saw your video. It helped made me feel less alone and empowered to go get evaluated again. Thank you Domo for your honesty; your truth is helping me set my truths free. I’ve also been watching you since Facebook and I related to you in so many ways that I’m happy I never stopped being your fan, you’re amazing and a wonderful mother thank you again for all that you’ve put out for your fans~
I know it may not have been completely easy to express these things to the world about yourself, but I’m proud of you that you found the courage to do so (not that you had to of course). We as your true CZcams family support you and are here for you no matter what . ❤️✨
Domo I love you so much. I know being vulnerable is hard, but thank you so much for this video. When you cry, I cry because I can relate personally and because I am a teacher.
I have a 21yr old daughter with ADHD & a 19yr old son with Add. The medications have come so far. I love their pediatrician, she has taught me ALOT. Honestly, I thought you had ADHD just by listening to your story. I'm so happy you have a diagnosis & you're on the path to greatest💯💯 Love you so much Domo🥰💖
I’ll love and support you on whichever diagnosis you have . I just hope you’re ok
We love you so much Domo, thank you so much for being mentally ill/neurodivergent people, like myself, a little more hope for finishing schooling, even if it takes time... I've been subscribed to you for about a year or 2 before you got pregnant with lil man and you've only continued to help me as you grow, ugh I love you so much 💕💕
I was that mother who didn’t want my kids on medicine, and I tried for a year without until I was like he needs this, it’s what’s best. It was trial and error for what med works best and the dosage I did have a crying moment of a particular med making him just too calm and staring into space and I hated it, a week later he had a bad reaction to that med which my instincts was already saying stop the medicine now. But he’s on the correct one now low dosage and he’s thriving in 6th grade straight As. 🙏🙏
This makes me so happy 🥹
Im so happy for you now you got your diagnosis you can work on your future you got this Domo much Love&Light 💐💐💐 here is your flowers
We will not view you any differently domo. We love you for you. You are strong and you are doing this with your choice and your going to progress. I can relate to your past situations, I got withdrawn from HS because of my epilepsy which is a bit different but yeah when I first started having seizures they said I was missing too many days of school and needed to go to underage ged. So they basically made my choice for me. I was so deep down trying to figure myself out and embarrassed, scared, learning as well. But now, just like your stating "we are still people" we can use are experience to teach, connect, grow, and also still we progress as long we allow ourselves too. Domo, I've followed you WAY before wic was born because of the person you are. This video was much needed for many, even yourself. So glad you let this out. Congrats on starting your next chapter in life (college!!) You go girl.
You making me cry for you nd myself too.. could and WOULD have been SOOOO much MORE. So much talent nd intelligence inside covered wit a lil issue nd all we needed was to be heard nd helped despite how loud I am. I wud be so much further in life at 51. Always start nd stop wit a lack of focus nd mood swings unbelievable. As much as I HATE meds I happily tried them. I still dont like BUT I focus a bit better now that I'm on 3 psych meds. Hoping to stabilize soon then LOOK OUT cuz I'm unleashing all this power nd beauty on everyone. Stay strong young lady ur NOT alone.
You are amazing regardless! 🧡 I love you and stay strong! I feel not smart a lot too like it sucks tbh but we are smart some people just need more help and nothing is wrong with that! ❤️
I’m bringing me having adhd up to my therapist on Thursday so thank you. Because I’ve felt the same way “stupid” and I’ve always had an issue with that word. Because I’ve felt like I was stupid but at the same time I felt like it wasn’t really my fault. Anyway thank you domo your encouragement is really saving lives. I have severe depression because of it I just feel incapable sometimes and to me it’s like well what’s the point. Luckily I have supportive people in my life and great influencers like you I’m on my way to recovery and hopefully I’ll be more successful in life after I get help. I even almost erased this message just because I’m scared of judgmental people but that’s life they are everywhere!!
I just had a conversation with my doc about feeling like I’m enough, and the depression that comes from having ADHD! She said it’s a blessing because we can do so many things under pressure!
Awww l hate that your mom didn’t get you some kind of help. I also understand where she’s coming from. We usually push things like this to the side, but I’m glad you’re on the right path.
Domo, I am 18 I’m in college. I have ALWAYS had problems with paying attention. I didn’t do very well in high-school until I got my diagnosis and put on medicine my sophomore year. I 100% understand you. I always felt dumb. Still do sometimes because I have to rely on pills to help me focus. You are not alone. Believe it or not ADHD is very common and a lot of people go undiagnosed. One thing I recommend is keeping a routine when it comes to school. It works very well for me. I really hope everything works out for you. Good-luck in college Domo. God bless.
I am glad that you took the time to advocate for yourself and never gave up. It is prevalent in the black community. 40 years ago folks did not have all these options and many families had children who are now adults living undiagnosed. Keep on your journey to find the medication that works best for you. Sending love and good vibes.
For years I was misdiagnosed with manic depression and bipolar disorder but last year when I was 28, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD with PTSD. The combination of both was making me have manic episodes which why I was misdiagnosed for so long. While I was working with my new psychiatrist to find the combo of meds to help, I found out I was pregnant. But I have an amazing doctor so he monitored me throughout my pregnancy and never forced me to take any meds while I was pregnant. I felt so much better when I got an accurate diagnosis so I completely feel you.
I’m 20 and I know EXACTLY what you mean and I had a conversation with my doctor about it because I was tired of questioning why I was different and I cried talking to her about it because I never talk about it but I might (haven’t been officially evaluated yet) have adhd and mild bipolar disorder and growing up school was so hard for me and nobody payed enough attention to realize it was something neurologically that I don’t control, I struggled so much with school and I always got in trouble for not getting things done and not always paying attention and talking in class but it was things I would try to work on because I saw the rest of my classmates having little to no issues but no matter how hard I tried it couldn’t help myself until I became a adult and now that I’m getting on the path to helping myself I’m so excited! Because I’m really to feel normal like “regular people”, I’m glad you found something that’s working for you I have wait to feel what you’re feeling!!
I have an older brother that’s on the spectrum BUT back then they didn’t know much about autism. My younger sister and I have had conversations and when we look back I believe a few of us have ADHD including my father who is retired. So much more to this but I am so proud of you Domo!!!🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️
This makes you even more special. Love you Lil Baby 🥰
I’m 24 and looking into getting an ADHD diagnosis. My brothers are autistic. And knowing what I know about my Cerebral Palsy and ADHD it made so much sense I made a 2 page list of traits from childhood and was just ignored. But I’M NOT QUITTING! I can’t. I know something is different so I will continue to bring it up until I finally get some type of answer.
Thank you for talking about this, I feel unbelievably seen after watching this, and it’s making my want for a diagnosis and answer even stronger… Thank you so much Domo. I truly appreciate your vulnerability. ❤️
Lovee you for being who you are Domo!!💕
I got diagnosed with BPD when I was 23, and it was scary but I dealt with it. This past year I got diagnosed with BPD AND Bipolar and my family has a really bad stigma with it and it was heartbreaking to me but when they put me on a mood stabilizer TBH it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I have been having breakdowns every day before the meds. Also crazy wreckless behavior when i'd have episodes. I'm proud of you for getting help!!!
Good Luck Domo !!!! I'm struggling with school too but we got this💯
My Twins boys have ADHD and one off the twins also got a diagnosis of Tourette’s syndrome they’re we’re diagnosed two years ago and they have improved so so much since they have started treatment . You are not alone Domo you are beautiful strong and you will be proud of all the accomplishments we love you Queen stay strong 😘❤️
What really helped me was leaning on disability services and getting extra time or leniency. It helps a lot.
So happy for you Domo! :) Well wishes to you on your health journey!!!
Domonique, I've been apart of your silent youtube family from the moment you tested posotive with Wicky ;) I LOVE you and this is a step moving forward for you. Congradulations on getting help and finding it. I also have a son who is Austitic. he is 4.5 and starting Kindergarten next week. I also have a son who is 11 who is on the spectrum and also has ADHD. When my 11 year old was diagnosed with both, he was 6 years old. Hes high functioning Austitic. His ADHD is what was more concerning. I hestitated putting him on medication but when about 2 years later I finally did and it was the best thing for him. He changed. He was focusing more and excelling in school. Even the teachers were proud of him. A few years moving forward, when I was about 26, I myself went and found help. I started seeing a therapist and physiologist. After seeing the physiologist for 1.3 years, his words shocked me. I always thought I only had depression and anxiety. He told him, I believe you have ADHD. my words exactly: "No, my son has ADHD not me". He tells me: "No, i believe you have it as well". I did not expect that at all. We went ahead and tested me for it specifically. Stood an hour testing me on it. It came back that I have ADHD. I left there stunned. They started me on medication. I am now 33 years old and I am still on the same medication. I have seen a new light on it and medication has helped me soo much. I understand why I couldnt focus or concentrate in school when I was young. At the time I was in college and it helped me exactly how you feel. I feel more motiviated. I dont feel "Stupid". I have 4 boys and work a full time job. I am not the person I was a few years ago and that a great thing. Keep pushing Domonique. You are an amazing person and mom. ADHD gang lol ;)
Domo you can do this!! I’m so glad you know and are able to get what you need health wise!! You and wick are gonna be excelling in school!!!
ADHD meds have CHANGED soo much over the past 10-15-20 years! Your Mom actually made a good call back then. I had to put my (now 33yo) son on ADHD meds when he was young & I only WISH we had todays meds at our disposal back then.
Your Mom made the best choice for the info at that time. Glad your getting help with todays meds🥰
When I seen the title I knew what this was about. I just had to watch it. My youngest daughter has the same issue and it wasn’t picked up in until she was in high school. They told me that it was common for younger kids to have low attention span and her grades in elementary and middle school was pretty good to adverage but when she hit high school that’s when she started having a hard time and felling like she was trying her hardest but would still be failing. Many of those AHDH or ADD medications do some you out and doctors always experimenting with the medications and the dosages as well before they get it right. I am happy that you made a video in this cause this will definitely help others and most importantly they will get the help that they need.
Commenting before I watch this to say hi to you domo. This girl
Hey D! I'm so glad you were open to finding out what was going on with you. That takes strength! So, I have told you before that my son was diagnosed at 3 and he is now 25. He will always need help. My point is.....YES you can do it, but there is help on a college level. I advocate for our kiddos and adults with special needs, those that have IEP's and 504 plans. So, I say this to say....go to your Support Services department at your college. On this level....you as the student have to advise them. There they will support your process with your education. They will sit down with you and your professors will be notified and plans will be set in regards to extra help, studying, tutors, test taking, papers and projects. So, proud of you sis! If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out! God bless you and your son!💙🧩
My daughter was diagnosed last year with ADHD and she is 13. It took me sometime and doing research to finally decide to have her medicated. I chose a non-stimulate medication for personal reasons after research. She has done so well on it and I see so much change in her. It took a little while for it to work but it is helping her and her concentration and grades have improved. I myself am now wondering at 42 if I have ADHD as well. I’ve been wanting to see a professional for awhile now. Thank you Domo, I am now going to do it!! You helped me realize that we have to really listen to our internal thinking. We know what we need and need to give it to ourselves to have a better life. Best wishes Domo, So proud of you 👏 💕❤️
No worries Domo I’m same way you are strong u got this .I found out when 21 I had it keep up the good work
Dominic with his laughing n jus being himself is making me smile but cry cuz Domo is tearing up
LOVE from ALASKA baby ❗️
I got diagnosed with ADHD and a unspecified learning disability between the ages 5 to 8years old!!! Love you! You and your son are going to do great things!!! 😁🥰
I’ll be 28 soon and just found out I had anemia 😭 but the things associated with it like fatigue, brain fog, physical abilities etc. those plus more were all affected for me as a child and as an adult and my parents were pretty similar. Basically told me to drink some water and I’d be ok.
Now that im grown and it’s my turn to fully take care of me im finding out SOOOO MUCH!
Much love to you Domo and thanks for sharing.
I've been diagnosed with adhd since I was 7 years old and I'm now 21. I've never been on stimulant medication just medicine that helped me sleep at night. When you said "I felt like the puzzles didn't align with my personal growth" is something I feel heavy. I can never focus on something for too long and sitting in a chair for long periods of time is almost unbearable. Every time I go back to college I struggle with my focus and get depressed for not being engaged or feeling stupid. Finding help is hard because the school requires so much from me before I can get there not to mention the emotional aspects of adhd that make it heartbreaking to ask for help. I feel rejection 10 times more than the regular person and often times when things get overwhelming I retreat to isolate for days. Which I'm doing now before I go back to classes tomorrow. Adhd has also made me feel so much excitement over small things, see the beauty in small details, inventive ideas, and compassionate towards others who struggle. I wouldn't give up who I am for the world but I wouldn't lie saying that it's easy. It's going to be a battle for life but never give up the fight. I guarantee once you find a plan that works for you that even the little things you achieve will feel like the biggest victories.
I can relate in some ways. I had ADHD when I was younger. I talked to my parent about it about. The medicine made me drowsy and daydream way more than usual. I was doing worse it seemed in school although my behavior or attitude may not have been normal. I was taken off the medicine and just remained myself. I can say that I'm happier and healthier 😌 Domo you are a gift just as you are. Get any help you need because it can worsen but we all love you as you are never forget that ❤️
I have adhd as well. 28 and was diagnosed at 27. My therapist caught on to it when hearing me explain things about myself and being my therapist for the last 6 years. And it all makes sense now. It’s wild. It was hard to come to terms with at first. But I’m also so happy i have a better understanding of myself and things that i thought were poor behavior isn’t my fault persay and I’m learning how to deal with it.
Girl I had to stop the video for a minute to just say that you cracked me up with the whole rose thing in the bathroom 🤣🤣. I wouldn’t have noticed it if you didn’t address it. You are hilarious. Anyway, you are beautiful and blessed no matter what condition or Dx you have. Keep striving for the best version of you. ❤️❤️❤️
All through school I felt different and I felt dumb I couldn’t focus I felt like I couldn’t fit in, and i got bullied and made to feel stupid, I failed all my classes and I felt so stupid, I left school at 16 and I got diagnosed with adhd at the age of 18 and since I’ve taken my meds I’ve been so much better, I wanna go to collage but I’m still worried that I’m still not ready I have so many bad memories from trying to learn and been made to feel stupid. But I’m proud of my adhd it makes me different and that’s good and I hope I can have the courage to try and go back to school soon, but it feels like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Welcome to the adhd squad 🥰🥰
My nephew has ADHD and his attitudes go from 0 to 1000 real quick. I do remember one time he went off his meds and went straight crazy. Now that’s he’s back on them he’s more laid back and focused. I’m glad you found out when you did. We are here to support you not bash you Domo.
Girl I didn’t get diagnosed til I was 29 bc I seen my then 6 year old with it and I’m like I do so many of those things but I just learned ways to deal with it… now that I’m more into figuring myself out I’m a mess. I could’ve used knowing I wasn’t crazy this whole time. So I’m not even through with this but it’s hitting home
I just recently got diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. There were lots of tears shed during the evaluation. But my therapist is super super nice to me and she doesn't judge me for who I am. That's the biggest thing with me and my child, I want to make sure we have the best support and just positivity. And if it wasn't for you and your content I wouldn't be sane. You show me that all people are people. Nothing sets us apart from the judgment, but we are just human. 🤍
My nephew is 21 will be 22 in January he was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age he didn't finish school but has his own phone repair company it is just starting but he is on his own doing well you got this domo much ❤️❤️
I feel that my step daughter has ADHD. I've been telling my husband for 2 years now. She can't focus on school, she's super hyper, excessive talking, she can't sit still.. But they refuse to get her tested. I'm only the step mother so there's only so much I can do but she's so smart, I hope one day they'll do it though. I'm just glad that you took it upon yourself to do what you had to do for you. Go head Domo boss lady! So proud of you!! & We're not weird, We're UNIQUE!
Thank you for sharing this!! This is a very important topic to talk about!
Hi Domo hru thanks for being transparent with your story I also suffer from anxiety and it can be debilitating and overwhelming counseling works for me this one hits home bc my lil brother has ADHD he's older now grew out of it
Hey domo I love your channel. My son just got diagnosed with ausitism. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid too. I was in special ed and my parents had me doped up on meds. I also want to give my feedback on the meds and that is making sure to research the meds. Eventually your body will not tolerate the medicine and they need to up it or change it. Live your life shotti. You are amazing. Just do your school work and learn about the meds.
I just look at my son and remember where I was as a kid and now I have learned to adapt to me and my own lifestyle.
Aww. You are not alone. I have been there. I always need I was different too. Always remember that you are loved.
I’m in the process of getting my 9 year old son evaluated. He struggles so much in school, and I recently got an IEP in place for him. In a few weeks we’ll do further evaluation for adhd which I highly believe he might have. Thank you for sharing.
So glad that you found out what made you feel different. And yes meds can work if you find the right one at the right dosage. Because some people are like zombies because of the med or dose. I had one online class and I didn't like it because I'm the type that if I need further clarification I want it then I don't like to not or understand. But good luck with your studies, just stay focused and plan out your days as much as you can. Love from B-more.
It’s so good you found a doctor that helped you find the right meds. My doctor only gave me the option of adderall and told me I’d have to take it for the rest of my life but i absolutely hated it after a while. Still on the search.
I feel you domo. I was diagnosed in 5th grade with ADHD and I was on medicine and it helped but as I got older I felt it started to make me feel weird and just not myself so I stopped and slowly I just dealt with what I was doing and I'm not sure like I feel I'm more ADD and not the hyperactive anymore as an adult, as a kid I was. I still struggle though for sure when it comes to things like math.. Ugh I hate math. It was the hardest thing for me to learn. Basic math is fine but like pre algebra and up I'm like nope. I feel dumb at times myself and I'm 33 years old so I just feel like I'm out of the box of what normal is and just makes life just a bit difficult in my head. Just know you're not alone and you're in my prayers. Much love & stay strong. ❤
And also back in middle school I was put in a special Ed class where my fellow classmates would often bully / tease me and calling me a retard just because I learn in a different way . That literally shattered me in the inside . That happened just because I was different from everyone plus I was put in resource room to talk more about that 😭😭😭
Queen you are a beautiful soul inside and out, I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was in my 40 and I understand the stereotypes of back in the days when I was coming up it was the same way only difference is at least your mom to you to get test.
I know how it feels to finally know that it’s a name to how you’re feeling!
Good morning beautiful. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD it's okay you are still going to be able to live a healthy productive life keep doing what you were doing and God bless you.
You really are Helping other people with this information...🌸🌷🌺
I have ADHD and I have 6 degrees and I'm a nurse... I didn't get medicated until 2 years ago when it became uncontrollable and I wasn't even functioning anymore as a human I couldn't get even basic tasks done without getting distracted which would only stress me out more because I felt like I was failing at life... I didn't realize how much I struggled through school and life for over 10 years... It wasn't until I stopped caring that others thought about it and did what I needed to do for my own good... Caribbean black ppl don't believe in ADHD and always told me I'm fine... Do whatever you need to... The medications won't turn you into a zombie... Take control of your life and go out there and kill it! You got this I believe in you! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey domo . Damn I hope everything is ok with you and I’m definitely watching this all the way through
Sometimes it’s fear. It’s fear of stereotypes and stigma. I guess I needed to see this video. My 4 year old has major speech delays and I have been so afraid to face what the challenge may be and really just hoped that he outgrew it. But now I’m on board to figuring it out but even taking these steps I’m so afraid of the unknown. Thanks for this video.
❤️⭐️I’m proud of you!!!❤️⭐️
My son got diagnosed with ADHD last year and when we were still in the process of finding out what was going on, my biggest fear was that he would have to end up needing to take some sort of medication (I tried to miss appointments because I couldn’t handle hearing the truth) and sure enough..I was so worried and I cried a lot but it was for his sake, he wasn’t learning at all because he was too hyper to actually sit, focus and learn something… we got him started at the lowest dosage possible and he has made progress, he is now able to sit still BUT all his focus is all on “ok, I have to be still” that he’s still not paying attention to the teacher…so we JUST went up 5mg on his dosage this week and I hope that dose the trick!
Moral of my story is, please get your babies the help they need. We hate to hear that something might be “wrong” with our kids but you have to do what is best for them.
This year my son was placed in the 3rd grade (he obviously wasn’t going to pass) but since last year he noticed he didn’t know as much as his classmates/ that he wasn’t at his grade level (he’s probably at at KG level) and so he started “down talking” on himself, he started calling himself stupid and even got the the point where he said he shouldn’t be alive (a 7 year old!) it was all the frustration and stress and him trying his best and still it “not being enough”..
Please seek help for your babies❤️
Domo my son has ADHD and it is hard seeing him struggle . I chose meds as well for him and I see him express all those feelings of not feeling good enough and isolating himself . It is the most hardest thing in the world to know that there is nothing you can do as a parent to make this crazy world stop judging . I did not do things right in the beginning I wanted him to fit the world but now I want the world to fit him .
