Adhd & Depression in 2020 (Life update)

ADHD and Depression in 2020 are no joke...they caught up to me before I realized it. I've been isolating, numbing, sleeping the days away, eating terrible, and not caring for myself as best as I could. With God and those around me both on social media and my personal life have really been the life giving force to help me pull myself out of this situational depression. For that I am grateful. I am not out of the storm...But i know a lot of the difficulty I've been going through doesn't hurt quite as bad. Wow. This year sucks. Now that my head is out of the water...How are you all? How has this year been for you???? I hope better than mine. If not know...that I am praying for you! Love you my fellow Visionaries!

My brother told me in 2019 when I was hit hard with depression and searching for answers, that I do not have ADHD because his “friends all have it and (I’m) nothing like them”. I was not yet diagnosed with ADHD. Yet... I went to speak with a Psychiatrist and later (Christmas eve-eve 2019) found out I have 9/9 (whatever the word is I can’t remember) of Inattentive ADHD. I had some answers for who I’ve been my whole (42 years) life, why I did things differently from everyone else, why my thought process runs the way it does, why things affect me unlike those things affect others, decisions I’ve made (big and small) and reactions to situations (big and small)... My ADHD is behind all of my unhappiness. Undiagnosed, Untreated, swept under the rug blatantly obvious to everyone else who said nothing but instead chose to view me as entertainment or as the butt of jokes I never caught until it was too late to confront and in all of my forgetfulness and good nature let it continue and pile up. Other stuff too but, ANYway, something I’ve learned is acceptance is hard but necessary. I’ve been like this my entire life and I completely lost my point because I got caught up in remembering some pretty rotten stuff. ADHD is hard. Depression is hard. Together they’re like the Hindenburg floating in a spectacle as everyone watches in awe and then as some spark ignites, everything inside just burns and you crash. I feel it. I’ve lived it and I still struggle with it but I understand it better now and I can fight it. It takes time, support and if you’re doing it on your own (like me) with no support just more sweeping it under the rug, it will take longer to get through. Essay of a comment. Maybe you found it entertaining or maybe it did nothing because it was too much to read through. Either way I hope you feel better soon and I’m sorry for the loss of your mom.

When things aren’t going well, I withdraw. I do understand. This year has been apocalyptic in the truest sense. A revealing, and 99% of it truly awful. For whatever it’s worth, I love you however you choose to show up, and also during the times you choose not to. You have helped me understand myself by showing your life in all it’s aspects. I don’t feel let down at all 💖

"ADHD and Depression in 2020 are no joke...they caught up to me before I realized it. I've been isolating, numbing, sleeping the days away, eating terrible, and not caring for myself as best as I could." You just described my life for the past several months. So accurate. I'm also a born-again Christian, and even with strong faith, I've still struggled with ADHD and depression. We are not alone.

I'm feelin' it too. Sorry to hear about your mom. That's Rough. I'm not dealing with anything like that.

Your are incredibly entertaining. So FUNNY! Your authenticity and hilariousness make me smile.

Keep on keepin on. Life's a garden, dig it.

[georgepotter]

Really nice to see you back. When i don't know what to say i try not to say anything ( which is a change for me ). Just know that you are loved, you are appreciated, you help a lot of people and you are in my prayers. Merry Christmas

[demeterx]

Wish I could give you a big hug! Having ADHD and depression I can totally relate, especially the sleep pattern. But hope you know it's ok to do so, personally I love my "me time", it's Winter so being a witch and close to nature and it's cycle's. This is a time to hibernate and reflect... Just remember Spring is just around the corner. So enjoy this season, relax, you don't have to do anything or be anything you don't want or are. Blessed Be 🥰

[qtaylor]

I don' t think you're letting any of us viewers down. I appreciate you and all of your videos. And the relatable Instagram posts 😂
I pray you're well and that God blesses you with comfort, joy and peace. ☺❤

[DarkRedHorse]

Very much so. I think it's at least partly the Freeze part of "Flight or Flight or Freeze" when we're stressed. Do we run from it, punch it, or stand still and wait for the day things get better. That day is coming, but for now, finding motivation to "do" anything is difficult, and the fun things are the first to go.

[unicornwitchprincess]

You didn't disappoint us, we love you and want you to know how loved and how helpful you are. <3

[Cunning_Jester]

Thank you for catching up with us. And I’ve totally been going through the situationally depression in the EXACT same way as you. This will definitely help me explain it to my therapist.

[LadywatchingByrd]

I've been going through a shit show as well. You are not alone.

[xXLadySunXx]

I really appreciate the way your personality shines through yknow and it reminds me of the original YouTube gurus when the overedited videos weren't even a thing yet so just wanted to say that and also thank you for sharing your story always

[pensandnoodles]

I was diagnosed with "circumstantial depression/anxiety"- I believe the medical term is adjustment disorder, for anyone who wants to read more about it. But yes, it's different from major depressive and anxiety disorder but presents similarly! Especially difficult to figure out what's going on when adhd is there as well, but good luck everyone! Get treated and stay as healthy as possible <3

Ardelle ... so damn good to see you again. Love from Ireland. 💚 X

[ruuyin]

I can’t believe a year is almost gone. It has been crappy but I’m hoping we can be better...Thinking back, the amount of sleep I get and work I finish is very disturbing but let’s keep moving forward.

[DoverDell]

I found your channel about a week an a half ago! I’ve been going through this really trying time and having some realizations and inattentive adhd is where all roads seem to lead. I watched one of your videos and got emotional seeing how much I aligned myself with what you’ve been through. I check for a more recent video and saw that you hadn’t uploaded in a few months and here you are! I’m glad you’re back!

[grenzganger]

I can absolutely relate to your statement how 2020 was. It was one of the most chaotic years of my life, i overslept, drank a lot, had a chaotc job life. Please feel hugged for what you do! Most of my bluesie days i came across your videos and they helped me a lot. You rock!

[cls]

I found your channel while you were taking a break! I just found out I have adhd recently and your videos have been so helpful. Thank you so much and I'm glad you're doing okay!! Sending lots of positive thoughts your way, and absolutely no pressure!
