3 Reasons Women with ADHD Struggle with Self-Esteem #adhd #adhdinwomen #adhdbrain

[LikeTheProphet]

I wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult, and Hoo boy learning all these things was LIFECHANGING for me. I’m still trying to unlearn all of the self-hate regarding all these things.

I have a hard time to communicate with other people...i never know what to say. It makes me feel so uncomfortable and weird

[Shelly]

You just described me 🥹
I want to get diagnosed but I’m scared I’ll be told I’m just depressed.

I’m a stay at home mom of 3 with adhd and I’m really struggling with not being “normal.” Your video just popped up and helped me on a day that I could use a little bit of encouragement. ❤

I’ve been diagnosed 2 weeks ago and I have to agree I felt all 3 and more that knocked my self esteem off

40 year old female here. I'm 100% positive I am ADHD. I'm also worried I'm Autistic too. And they fight eachother😢 .. I am the 👽 of the family. I resonate with every single aspect of the disorder (and alot on 🌈 spectrum too). I think I'm even struggling with things like hypermobility and POTS. 🤔👀😱 It kind of explains MY ENTIRE Existence!!! 🫂 To those that feel the same. You aren't alone ladies ( and gents)

This all applies to men as well
We struggle with friends
And parenting

I feel like I really relate to all of those things you listed. I am never happy with myself, how I look, how I work. I've always felt like I never fit in. I have mood swings that I can't control. I saw a psychiatrist today and she told me I was depressed why I'm feeling these feelings. She prescribed me prozac. I still feel like something is off. I feel hopeless. She said if I got my mood up - I would have more motivation and I wouldn't feel these feelings. I just want someone to help me and hear me out.

My mum thinks adhd is laziness, but I don’t know how to think like a normal person

THANK YOU!!! You have NOO idea how helpful this was, so glad I have seen this today! Just had an incident with rejection sensitivity and god

My mom always compared me to others and how I measured up, which I never did.!

Dual diagnosis of ASD and Combined ADHD with complex maths disabilities didn’t receive my dual diagnosis until last year age 42

I just got diagnosed with a.d.d. and I passed 1 week on medication. I feel light headed lol but I have to push through. I am learning more about a.d.d. and it's me to a T.

I understand ADD/ADHD to be associated with underachievement. My IQ is average and high level studying has been extremely stressful for me. I failed at school due to lack of revision and I got no support as it was the 1980s. I’m suited to a practical job over desk job. How have you become a doctor with the condition? Perhaps there’s high functioning ADD like there is autism?

it’s 6 am and i just woke up for work and i needed this. especially the second one. i have always just wished i was “normal” :/

[crystalolol]

Me all the way, I want to get help but then there's a thought that I'm not even good enough to even get treated for it, I'm also worried about the cost because I find it hard to find a good job because I feel like I'm not good enough, it's an endless cycle.. I'm also a mom so there's that

Most people tell you something is wrong with you.

[katherineelmore]

My parents yell at me for some of these things I struggle with

[MikeDuddy-qt]

None of these are exclusive to women. Men with ADHD struggle with these things.
